Basically yes. Both fission reactors and fusion reactors generate a bunch of neutrons.

With a fission reactor you have to expose uranium to those neutrons and when it gets hit it either splits into dangerously radioactive components or absorbs a neutron and becomes dangerously radioactive plutonium. There are pipes and stuff that become a bit radioactive too but that's not the part that people are afraid of when an accident happens. Also, the dangerously radioactive byproducts continue to release a lot of energy after the chain reaction is shut down, about 10% of the power the reactor was run at. So even after a fission reactor is shut down you need to keep cooling it otherwise things melt and people become unhappy.

With fusion you do need to keep exposing lithium to the neutrons from the reaction to make more tritium fuel. And tritium is radioactive. But if it escapes it'll go straight up into the upper atmosphere where it won't particularly bother people and then dilute. You've still got the radioactive pipes problem you do with fission but, again, that's not really the part that people are afraid of. And once you stop containing the plasma energy generation stops instantly.

I'm generally inclined to say that the risks involved in fission are worth the benefits but those risks are worth taking seriously and require careful government regulation more so than other forms of power. With fusion, on the other hand, I'd a lot less concerned with someone building a power plant up wind of me than a coal plant even with similar levels of regulation. Just as long as they aren't deliberately exposing uranium to the neutrons or something like that.
Do you understand the setup and configuration of every language of every tool you use? That seems impractical.

I use scripts written in Ruby reasonably often without _any_ understanding of how the Ruby ecosystem works. I just want to run the tool, and the tool happens to be written in Ruby.
Co-founders are like spouses. You can figure a few things out together as you go along but if you don't have basic trust and mutual respect along with common goals for life/business, you will fail.

I personally don't think it has to be someone you already know BUT it definitely is easier to start there. Sometimes you get lucky and it just clicks with someone you just met but most likely you want to co-found a company with someone you have worked with before IN a professional setting and not just personal.

I have many friends whom I mutually trust and respect and they are even good at their jobs BUT they are not entrepreneurial and they will never be a good fit for me. So there is that also.
>>It still remains to be proven whether the radioactive waste for a fusion reactor of the kinds attempted now will be less than for a fission reactor.

I wonder, how can this possibly be even a question? Fission based reactors obviously have the same or worse problem of irradiating the entire reactor enclosure and everything around it, so that's at best the same as a fusion reactor + they produce tonnes of very highly radioactive waste that will be radioactive for millennia.

Materials activated through neutron bombardment aren't radioactive for anywhere near as long. And to add to that, nearly all elements produced in a fission reactor are highly toxic in addition to being radioactive - in a fusion reactor if your steel containment chamber becomes activated, you just have radioactive steel, not one of the many many dangerous heavy metals produced through fission.
Most places recognize something called a "mechanics lien" that means the police won't get your car back either. Workmen usually have a legal claim to property that they worked on and have not been paid for. Sometimes it requires specific paperwork (more often with real property, e.g. a contractor can place a lien on your house but usually needs you to agree to it before they start work) but often it's implicit. I guess my point here is that this is a scenario with specific legal backing that goes way back into history, which smart contracts don't really have.

You're talking about multi-level marketing. Which isn't quite a pyramid scheme (even though it is pyramid-ish).

Pyramid Schemes have the originators (the "top" of the pyramid) win lots of money, while the base (the "bottom" of the pyramid, where most people are) losers. And the top barely did any work to get there: they just took the money from people below them.

Awesome, I just upgraded our project! We're using wasmer in a browser-based multiplayer game in order to get cross-platform floating point determinism so we can send only input packets over the wire confidently without worrying about state drift. The client and server run the exact same wasm bundle instead of just being compiled from the same source, and the wasm spec guarantees that as long as you don't touch NaN and stick to one thread, you'll get the same results in any runtime [1].

Eh I mean that’s what Amazon is hoping but it only happens if you start depending on the AWSBucks.

* Pay 30% to Apple or Google on their stores.

* Pay 20% to Amazon on their store and get 10% in AWS credits.

If you just treat it like the credits are worthless then it might still be a good deal. But probably not since Amazon is cutting fees and offering incentives because their store has so few customers. The Microsoft store had similar programs a while back and it didn’t really go anywhere.

People always focus on the Apple “tax” but forget that the App Store and the Play Store’s value are as sales channels and they can get away with charging that much because in aggregate publishers will make more money paying it than not being in the store. Amazon doesn’t have that value prop currently.
if it became effective enough that any politicians even heard of it, let alone started trying to game it, that would be great news.

Yes, its a mid-step.

They don't know exactly how to build a commercial reactor yet. The scale they've worked at so far tests the basic design but it can't break even (no fusion reactor has yet) or function continuously. They are going to build the minimum size that they think will achieve these goals but it will also have to be capable of testing to be able to fine tune operation. A commercial reactor wouldn't be built like that.

Also, keep in mind that cost doesn't scale linearly. Likely cost goes up with the cube of the size or higher.

What do you think would be a better name?

I kind of agree with you, but then, since it would fit for integers, I can’t think of a better name and could live with some generalization of “off by one”. I’m not a mathematician but maybe something like “off by n; n -> lim 0”

I'm an engineer who was introduced to a startup via triplebyte. I liked the platform because I went through a technical interview to even be allowed to connect with companies (one that a lot of my peers who are junior level weren't able to pass.) I guess my first thought is that doesn't this defeat the initial purpose of Triplebyte?

If you allow everyone in, regardless of if they are qualified to be a senior level engineer, will this not just be another job hunt platform where (when I look for another job) I'd still have to do another technical interview at the company itself?

How will companies know now who has been vetted as qualified and who is just lying on their resume? Maybe it's shitty to think this way but there is already a ton of sites out there that allow me to send my resume (or allow a company to view mine) before starting a traditional hiring process that Triplebyte prevented, allowing companies to connect with qualified high level engineers and know the person would fit their skill needs. The way it was companies mainly were just testing for cultural fits, etc.
But that's how most big tech companies have been operating for the last 10-15(?) years.

How do you think public companies that have never made a $ got there.
For Windows, the ENG-INTL keyboard layout is pretty good for simple accented characters, covering latin-based European languages [1].

Windows+. also allows you to just type to search for emojis, so e.g. typing WINDOWS+. sad ENTER gives you a sad emoji. Sadly this doesn't work for symbols, even though the Windows+. menu has a good coverage of symbols.

I guess you can always switch your keyboard to Korean input.

Unicode has both MICRO SIGN (U+00B5) and GREEK SMALL LETTER MU (U+03BC). The former is the one on (most) people's keyboard, and it shouldn't be used to type actual Greek.
Having a disinterested third party to talk to saves my friends and family and internet forums from much of my babble (some clearly gets through:), and it’s a safer place to take risks and grow. The Blindboy Podcast promotes cognitive behavior therapy and other tools one can use on their own vs anxiety and depression, and I’m transitioning away from talk therapy towards these tools. The therapist was pivotal along the way.
I always find it amusing how much graphQL there is without actual graph db behind it.

Seems the concept of having fluid relationships is appealing for querying but not structuring/storing... which seems like a disconnect.

I have only seen a few Neo4J systems in serious production workloads and they were ALL on logistics... I'm not sure that it's being positioned (or interpreted) as a nice simple solution to start out on.

Edit: I just checked out neo4j "bloom", and it's definitely a good way to make graph more accessible - they should continue to build further on it.
Someone created a bogus account using my email trying to claim DNS administrative rights for all domains associated with that email (yeah, yeah, yeah - I should have had domain privacy for everything ... but some didn't)

Cloudflare ended up getting listed as authoritative DNS in its own DNS resolver (even though the registrar's records were supposed to be authoritative)

The only reason they couldn't fully steal DNS settings was I had 2FA enabled with my registrars and on my email account

Took nearly 3 days to claim the malicious Cloudflare account via password resets to my actual email address and enable 2FA on it to my authentication tools

Took another week+ to delete all attempted DNS registries and get Cloudflare to not recognize themselves as authoritative DNS resolution for the domains

And over a month for tech "support" and "legal" to finally get around to responding to my complaints basically saying, "you should have created an account with us with that email so no one else could try to steal it"

Note none of them are the big ISPs. All of the consolidation and removal of the local ISP has been terrible for the consumer. I get that it’s far more expensive now to start one than it was with dial up, but there needs to be a better path forward that decentralizes control and ownership of infrastructure. Particularly this BS of only ever having 1 real broadband choice in a given zip code.

I’d love to see all the recent anti-trust fervor get pointed towards the Comcast’s of the world and understand how they as cartels have unofficially split up the country.

One of the huge advantages to the US/Saudi collaboration is the pricing of oil in dollars. The supply helped for a time, and we've weaned off it a bit through fracking, but that's a game of diminishing returns.

The worry for the US is if oil becomes priced in yuan and sold in yuan. It undermines the purchasing power of the US dollar while at the same time diminishing the effectiveness of US sanctions.

It made sense to me the first time I read it because I know most app stores appear to have settled around 30% as their cut, so I just assumed the 30% referred to the amount Amazon was taking. The rest just followed logically.

GP's point is more about how words are spoken. When we hear speech in a language we understand, we parse the sounds as a collection of distinct units with individual meaning we call "words". But the sound wave itself isn't actually segmented in this fashion, and the separation into words occurs in our perception and interpretation. But I agree, words definitely exist, just as interpretations of sound and written characters.
I'm not sure that there's such a thing as an objective definition of "serious development", and my response clearly puts a spotlight on the subjectivity of the term, does it not?
While I definitely agree that saying it's upping the take home from 70% to 90% would be misleading - in a fair number of cases that 10% credit will be pretty easy to convert to direct value. It is certainly more valuable than, say, 10% of earnings being spendable on Amazon Basic items - they're not quite trying to pull a company store trick here and the fact that 80% of revenue is take-home sales already puts a decent chunk above Apple.

Interesting times.
People hold stablecoins so they can use the practical equivalent of a United States dollar "on chain." Ask your local bank to let you deposit your savings account into Aave or Yearn and you're going to be shown the door. In order to use the smart contracts on the blockchain you first need to bridge your "real world" funds to the chain by using a service like Coinbase. Coinbase will take your USD and give you Ether or a stablecoin like USDC in exchange. You can use either of those assets on chain in smart contracts.

To answer your question as directly as possible, people hold stablecoins because they want to use USD in smart contracts.
>So since it is an android system under the hood it would be very possible to make VR apps that would work on all android systems. This would be so much better for the ecosystem as a whole.

The problem isn't technical, it's monetary. Facebook pours out tons of money to kickstart developers and get games out which is why they have a monopoly. There are few technical hurdles in the way of making Oculus games work on other headsets.
Interesting that they use the word "lag", which connotes that this is a bad thing.
While the constant supply of recruiter contacts and even direct internal company contacts I get is nice, I repeatedly see the sort of basic issues as mentioned in the piece of concealment of or lying about pay (or incredibly broad pay ranges), entirely leaving out information about a job's location even when it's on the other side of the country, trying to offer entirely inappropriate junior positions that I'm never going to be interested in... all stuff that has zero cost to a hiring manager but wastes my time. I could see a lot of usefulness in something to push back against that in a structured way.
When you're coming close to market saturation, you can't maintain unicorn-style growth rates.

TripleByte wants that growth rate more than anything else: therefore, this.
I'll not enter on the technical comparisons but more on the philosophical view of your comment.

Somehow you are not wary of an organization that is 90% directed by one entity.
It might be useful to know that 95%+ of the code changes in wasmtime are by people working in Fastly.

Google is the main pusher to Chrome, the fact that Google is a commercial entity doesn't make good or bad on how they move the ecosystem forward.
It makes it more effective.

I'm usually wary and careful when people advise for software and commercial value to be separated.
They can also buy a private solution that’s better and/or cheaper. The danger isn’t that the municipal broadband is bad. It is that it’s good and then poor Comcast can’t make a fuckton of money while paying minimum wage to its employees. The horror.

So, I'm personally pretty unhappy with this change, because part of what made triplebyte valuable (and gave y'all the hundreds-of-thousands-engineer userbase) was the _path to competence-signalling_ which avoided credentials that your platform gave, given the quiz -- companies knew that someone being on triplebyte was a strong signal, and engineers had a path to signalling competence that was one-to-many. Eliminating that signal for goals that...seemingly don't require it (why does this new job platform require eliminating the assessment?) seems unwise, IMO
> as long as you don't touch NaN

Note: this says NaNs one place will be NaNs everywhere, just the precise choice of NaN bit pattern is unspecified.

So there is no issue “touching NaN”; the issue would be trying to pack some additional information into the fraction bits of the NaN, and expecting every implementation to treat it the same.
syscall_uring would be my preference.

Contracts can be unenforceable for reasons that might not be obvious to people who don't do contract law, as well. For example, the concept of consideration is not especially obvious, that contracts are often not enforceable if both parties do not receive consideration, which leads to things like peppercorn payments. I know about that as a layman but a contract attorney would know of many more non-obvious things that must be checked out to avoid having problems actually enforcing the contract. It seems like it would be very, very easy to produce a smart contract which a court would later determine was not enforceable in the first place, and perhaps order reversal of payments or other things.

For one, as a general concept the parties to the contract need to actually understand the terms and courts will somewhat regularly throw a contract out if they think there were implications that were not apparent to one of the parties. Smart contracts seem like absolute minefields for this kind of problem.

Exclusivity and rapid growth don't normally go hand-in-hand, so one would expect that at some point, the company would have to bend on one of them, and it makes sense that they decided to bend on exclusivity. Facebook followed a similar course early in its history, and what allowed it to rapidly grow was diversifying its value prop. When it was exclusive to Ivy Leaguers, the draw was the meet other people at your school. When it was exclusive to college students, the draw was to meet other people at your school. But then when it became open to the world, it became much more of a general-purpose social networking site. That's the course Triplebyte will likely need to navigate if it wants to be successful in the long run.
