This calculation was done on an HN thread a few years ago. I have not reviewed it recently.

If all power generated right now was from D+T fusion, it would generate about 8.2% of the current helium consumption.
We consume 153,596 TWh of thermal energy per year [1].
Each D+T reaction releases 17.59 MeV [2].
Multiply by the atomic mass of He4 and divide by Avogadro's number to get the mass of He4 produced per energy produced.
Divide by the density of He4 at STP to get volume of He4 produced per second [3].
Divide by the consumption of He4 to get the ratio of He4 produced to He4 consumed [4].

(153596 TWh / year) / (17.59 MeV) / (avogadro's number 1/mol) * (4.002602 g/mol) / (0.1786 g / liter) / (88 million m^3 / year)

I remember when Obama was roundly mocked for suggesting that people improve gas mileage by checking their tire pressure before road trips. Too easy and effective to be worthwhile, I guess.
>My fear of TikTok is far more mundane. It just dulls us into the most passive form of entertainment the world has ever known making us a basically disengaged, lifeless people. Its the modal opposite in life to 'touching grass'.

Nail on the head. When I was first sent a link to a tik tok post, it was jarring, because as soon as that video ended another random video popped up and started playing full volume. It's a constant never ending stream of content. As long as you are looking at the app, there is not one moment where your attention isn't captured. You have no time for independent thoughts. How do you even think in long form topics when you interject your attention span with these videos constantly?

I think there will be a time when there is a mountain of research showing how harmful this 'fast food content' type of platform can be for mental health, and we really do consider platforms like ticktok or other attention demanding patterns like autoplaying instagram stories or a constant stream of youtube videos like we consider smoking tobacco today. People really need to be meditating and thinking freely, but it seems the technologists have decided monetizing (or at least convincing investors you are monetizing) all available time for independent thought is too profitable.
WFMO is equivalent to select. This is different.
> the Millennium Falcon made the Kessel Run in less than twelve of 'em

That's a good point - I wonder if the question was "do you recognize this word?" or "can you correctly define this word?" (followed by a quick check)
This idea is super cool.

I am not sure it necessarily has to be just one single dependency, but keeping the number of dependencies as low as possible makes a lot of sense to me. At least the overhead of introducing any given new dependency should be taken into serious consideration and held against the concrete benefits that will be gained from it.

I wrote a blog post on a very similar subject, essentially all of the same arguments, but targeted more towards the dependencies and abstractions found within a given systems code structure and application architecture.

I get tired of looking at things after about a week, and want to get home and go back to work.
That's a different Kohl. The english word Kohl means a type of african/middle eastern make-up (Kajal in german).
It's definitely both. It's not just the physical sounds I make when pronouncing them, but the mood and the overall "atmosphere" of the words that is different.
Re “shemale”: I wonder what other slurs they included in the data set. I have a hard time believing “shemale” is the only slur with gender polarization.

If we were to enter a mental clean room where nothing we knew of life on Earth could accompany us, and then sit and speculate about the nature of men and women, I agree that we would have no reason to suspect an interest in fashion might be related to biology. At least, I doubt I would come up with the connection.

In reality we know that there are biological differences between men and women. We know these differences affect the brain in terms of size and structure. We know these differences affect the mind in terms of personality and emotional experience. Should we expect that men and women have identical biological predispositions towards areas of interest? I would say no. Given that we then expect to find differences of interest stemming from biology, and that we have found a difference in interest, and that there isn't a plausible alternative...
There's a lot of speculation but it's not proven. One of the big challenges when comparing these kind of claims is that the brain is plastic so it requires extra work to figure out what percentage of the identified difference is explained by differences in what activities people engage in. Since most big studies show more variation within a group than between groups, there's good reason to question whether this is measuring anything other than social effects.

The other challenge is figuring out what activities actually have a low-level differences translate into significant advantages. There are very few job where a single low-level difference is both significant and the only path to success — in most fields, there isn't a single model of top performer.
This looks good. Do you have some ready models to try?
Why are you still there, with the job market being what it is now?

I mean, you fairly quickly see where this is going to lead. Why stay in a sinking ship?
That's cool, and I appreciate you sharing these experiments.

I'm in automotive/embedded at the moment, and our daily battle is making decisions on how static vs. dynamic we want our system to be - static (e.g. resource allocations or baked-in scheduling decisions) makes it easier to reason about the system and provide guarantees, but generally lowers efficiency at runtime. Dynamic can make the system much better at serving a wide range of usage scenarios, but makes it harder to eliminate the risk of pathological cases. It's hard not to see things through that lens. The way to construct and run services you've described here to me is an interesting option on that type of axis, in the sense of where the costs/friction goes.
Given the heat output I'd not count on a cool fanless version showing up anytime soon. Not without significantly less performance
> Remember "average" means you're already better than half the people

not really
I believe what's rubbing many the wrong way is the obvious bias towards 'girls'. The name of the programs, the focus of resources based on being VAR rather than a need someone could be (E.G. how I similarly take mild offense at programs that happen to target 'RACE' rather than 'the POOR' (anyone impoverished, even if that happens to strongly correlate to various races in sadly common cases due to past discrimination)).

So, hypothetically, what do you and others believe needs to change? How would a 'girls can code/tech/etc' look if it couldn't //market// towards girls or any other focus of discrimination? Other than perhaps types of being in the 'have nots' category which any body-type could qualify for?
> 'Oh, I'm going to watch the original Japanese version with English sub, not the English dub version,' but the truth is the Japanese version is dubbed as well."

At least personally, the voice acting seems just so different. My preference is not related to the differences there may be between dubbed or not.
Generally industrial exposure limits are set out of an abundance of caution. You don't prove that it's safe under all conditions and at all exposure levels before you start using it - after all, nothing is. You assume that it may cause harm, and you continue to study. None of the studies you found demonstrated harm. To the best of my knowledge no study exists that demonstrates anything resembling a conclusive link between nonionizing EM radiation and harm (except for of course, acute heating, etc).

Your first study, power lines and childhood leukemia. No study has ever shown that living near power lines leads to an increased risk of leukemia due to EM radiation, ever. Here's a pooled analysis combining individual-level data (29,049 cases and 68,231 controls) from 11 record-based studies. [1] Conclusion: in this first comprehensive pooled analysis of childhood leukaemia and distance to power lines, we found a small and imprecise risk for residences < 50 m of 200 + kV lines that was not explained by high magnetic fields. It is far more likely IMO to be associated with the chemicals used nearby.

The same is true of wi-fi. And cell phones. [2] The same is true of other cancers near power lines.

And that makes sense because it's non-ionizing EM. All non-ionizing EM radiation can do to your body is warm you up. Once it's acutely warming you up, you have much bigger problems.

The reason you can't say it doesn't do anything is because it's fundamentally impossible to prove a negative, which is what you're asking. However, there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever of the affirmative.

It's safe. It's not really debated, no. [3] And of course, more studies are always welcome due to just how widespread these fields are.

Apparently the radio evaluates image files based on the extension on their name, and not by looking at the image headers. If you send a radio station logo with no file extension it gets stuck in a permanent reboot loop. :-(
Yes, one of those last would be a good choice, if we could get to one.

But I don't expect our distant descendants to be dependent on starlight. A nice Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud are good to stay in for access to building material and fusion fuel, but the most valuable resource, otherwise, will be abundant free cold.

Planets, as such, and sunshine are for the extremest primitives. Nobody advanced would want to be closer to the sun than, say, Neptune.
Stupid question: Why isn't such logic incorporated into the call itself?
> The people sucking money out of the wage pool are the 1% class, not women

What does that mean?
Tokamak output scales with the square of reactor volume but the fourth power of magnetic field strength, so with sufficiently powerful magnets, scaling down the size can be an option.
You can bet that but I don't think the evidence bears it out. Certainly in China, Russia and in Europe there are higher percentages of female scientists than in the US and that is through deliberate effort.

Furthermore this effort has helped, not hampered their research output. Just as a trivial example: we wouldn't have had COVID vaccines quickly if not for a female scientist educated in Hungary.

And that's just on one axis of underrepresentation. Anything that broadens the catchment pool of candidate scientists is going to improve value of those who become scientists -- a rule which, when generalized, is a fundamental staple of capitalism.
Probably. But why should small boys be punished and denied opportunities because of that?

Also, this has been even broader:

Around here, until recently girls got extra points even on studies were they were massively over-represented (in addition to being generally over-represented in higher education.)

Just recently boys started to get extra points when applying for Engineering degrees in Chemistry or in Nursing.)
Yep. And we do it largely because we started from a schooling model built to shape factory workers, and then tried to develop it by aping what the upper classes did - regardless of whether their models could actually scale or were at all desirable in large numbers.

Sadly, doing so also stripped dignity from vocational / blue-collar work - even when it pays (very) well, kids are told that a life in the trades is for the uneducated, ignorant swines.

Ironically, part of this development is led by emancipation of the lower classes themselves: "I break my back every day but my son will study and be a doctor". A sentiment we all admire, but ends up reinforcing the idea that the father's blue-collar work is crap - and that's not how it should be, all workers should have equal dignity and value.
It might also be a interpreted as a reference to a department store chain that mostly sells clothing - Kohl's.
Editorialised titles will draw justified flags.

Note that the post at this writing has been restored.

Note that a subtle or understated post and title can be submitted and recommended for the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool). And comments which are broad and highlight some under-served interest are often accepted as such. HN mods do rest their thumbs on the scale every so often, and I've yet to see that be self-serving.

Aggressingly pressing a pecuniary interest (e.g., your own website or business to the exclusion of all else), or deliberately inflaming titles, is a major foul on HN.

If you do need to reasonably shorten a title, or substitute for one that's more clear, please note that alongside your submission.

An example of shortening from a submission of mine yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30267123

An example of a suggested edit for clarity / anti-clickbait: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29957807

In the 2nd case (which I'd also emailed mods), dang changed to title to be similar to what I'd suggested.

There are times with especially vague or unclear titles that you might have to hunt through the text for a good substitution. In general, the preferred order is:

- Original title.

- Original title stripped of listicle and clickbait elements. "Ten things you need to know about Foo" becomes "Things to now about Foo"

- Title-casing all caps and removing sprurious punctuation and glyphs.

- The <title> element of an article, which is often less clickbaity.

- A subhead.

- A quote lifted directly from the text of a work.

If you can't find a title in the work you're linking, but are aware of another work which discusses some aspect of it, you might want to substitute that other article. If necessary, you can write that article and highlight the elements you want to call out, and submit your own article.

ANY of these is preferable to editorialised titles.

You can also add a comment either when submitting or afterwards giving further background on a topic (my first own example above was submitted with the post in question).

Posting from fringe or highly controversial / biased sites may not reflect well on you.

I've had decent luck posting and commenting to HN. I still see comments and submissions flagged. Making the front page is challenging, and only a small fraction of submissions do so. Learning what the Hivemind is attracted to helps, and it is broader and more diverse than is often credited.
I wonder what the US would have done if not for other governments opening up? Now we have to worry about the millions of masks floating in the oceans.

I appreciate the analysis, but that's not the message I took from the post. By making property that is unique to one person, that property cannot be sold, and is, in a sense, valueless.

You're probably right, though, that the main use case for this will end up being companies selling access to ultra-exclusive events with "bragging rights" NFTs associated with them. However, the technology could also enable something much more humble, like a shell from a beach taken as a souvenir from a holiday, or something as personal as just a memory.
One data point here - I knew all the female words and 15 of the male words. I definitely feel more confident about what the female ones mean, though.
Curious if that worked for you longer term. I remember getting stuck.

I know twitter and facebook will allow you to proceed but then lock your account "for security reasons" pretty much immediately unless you cough up the goods.

It can be heavily dependent on area etc. Rent control areas / for-cause eviction areas - you can get some pretty horrific maintenance situations. San Rafael I think is now for cause, required mediation on rent increases and "bad faith" means that the increase is not valid.

That said, these guys look like scum - but I've seen nongreystar crap properties as well.

One thing - I wish review sites would not let them change names and start fresh on reviews for a property at a given address.
This technical deep-dive by Dr. Dennis Whyte goes into the scaling considerations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY6U4wB-oYM

TLDR: Tokamak economics scale in size with 1/B^5 -- so doubling the magnet field strength reduces the physical size substantially. This factor dominates other scaling parameters by a substantial margin, and is entirely enabled by high-temperature superconductors. A host of other key fusion parameters also scale beneficially with B^x (for some value of x) -- most of which are discussed in first half the video.

Sure it can. It's not complicated (pathologically or otherwise), it's just not what some people want.

I definitely think (particularly young) people should be better educated about what a marriage contract is and isn't before they get into it.
What do you mean by "economic violence"? I'm guessing you are not referring to men paying for women's costs of living?
Thanks for your support. Yes we do ship with some examples and their models which can be run out of the box. We have 3 customer demographic datasets and an ecommerce items matching across Google and Amazon. You can check them here https://github.com/zinggAI/zingg/tree/main/examples
Your reminder that having disenfranchised young men with nothing to lose in your society is like keeping kindling next to a munitions factory and has never ended well.

It’s kind of like a Maslow’s hierarchy of needs but for a society. If your higher needs are only being met at the expense of your lower needs it’s all going to come crashing down.

The lower needs in this case are channeling the energies of those that can commit the most violent atrocities away from committing violent atrocities and into something constructive like jobs and families.

This is what Web3 is supposed to be. "Want to store some data? Just pay the market rate for data storage!" Of course they chose the most expensive and unwieldy data storage mechanism imaginable.

Inb4 "but X chain is so cheap!", all chains are cheap until they're popular. Make a chain that gets faster&cheaper to commit on as the amount of compute on it increases (as you would expect... pretty much any CS thing to work) and you've solved web3. Oh but then the asset is inherently inflationary and people care more about getting in on the next big hockey stick than sound financial instruments. So... there you have it.
I don't understand how the phrase "positive masculinity" is fraught, males tend to seek out male role models which is only natural and these role models should be positive influences, further males should not feel that all male traits are "toxic". I don't know that the article called out Jordan Peterson and if that is your only example of "positive masculinity" than we are probably talking past each other.
Anecdotal but the secret to success from my personal experience is to:
1) Never stop looking around (okay, may be not when you have less than one year tenure in the current company)
2) Interview when you really can afford to fail the interview and still not care (for example when things are going well in your current company)
3) Treat it like a collaborative session than a actual interview.
4) Don't reject offers for petty reasons like not agreeing with a companies ethics/tools they use/what work they do. It's work and that is why they pay people to do it. So consider all these factors and ask for a higher package and if you really like to work on something else, aim for good work life balance and use that time to do what you want.
5) Shamelessly sell yourself. The 5 mins intro that you provide in each round in a lot of cases can decide how the rest of the round goes.
I wish I'd thought of writing a simple pro/con list when I wrote this post. I'll think about that!
