And the engineering here is very problematic. Indeed, the issue mentioned may be a showstopper for DT fusion.

The problem is limits on power/area through the wall of the reactor. Because all the produced energy has to go through the wall, and because the area of the wall grows as r^2, the volumetric power density of a DT reactor (that doesn't exceed the power/area limit on the wall) must decline with increasing size.

This leads to DT fusion reactors having horrible volumetric power density. ITER, for example, has a volumetric gross fusion power density of 0.05 MW/m^3. The 2014 ARC design, 0.5 MW/m^3. A PWR's reactor vessel? 20 MW/m^3.

(If you look at the power density of the plasma alone, or the fission reactor core alone, you get similar wildly discrepant numbers: https://cpb-us-w2.wpmucdn.com/research.seas.ucla.edu/dist/d/... see slide 26)

If you want to make heat to make steam to drive a turbine, a fission reactor will be much smaller, and much cheaper, than a DT fusion reactor.
Is it the case that the code you wrote with copilot is much more prone to be refactored.? The usage you describe sounds like a lot of repetition and hard to update if any of those requirements (Vuex store for example) change.
Sounds dangerous, makes it harder to react to any obstacle
The cosmos is not startrek -one doesn’t travel vast multigenerational distances in space and time to “just observe”. If we could travel to an extra-solar habitable planet. Do you think we’d be like, huh, nice carbon based life, just like us. Awesome now let’s go back “home”.

Or if we let off some earth mammals the beasts would be like, you know what, humans, take me and my descendants ten/a thousand generations down back to earth.

An interview with Guido van Rossum (2002)
Acute loneliness awaits you on both extremes of attention. That is where I believe the real problem lies, but it is one that I find is grossly exacerbated by these systems. It never seems entirely feasible to opt in or to opt out.
Capitalizing words for EMPHASIS and using exclamation points are not great indicators of a well reasoned argument. My attention span (patience?) is too short to figure out if this theory applies here.

"Most people" cannot be above average. That's an information free statement.
Indeed. As I mentioned upthread, the limits on power/area at the first wall of the reactor lead to DT fusion reactors having horrible volumetric power density. Their "figure of demerit" vs. fission is roughly (radius of plasma)/(radius of a fuel rod).
I mean, yeah, that’s the model that Garmin, Spot (which is under the same network that Apple is now on), and others are already using. It’s essentially insurance.
This isn't reasonable. Today on iPhone, even if you pay $100/year to be able to run unsigned code, you can't get a copy of Firefox running, because nobody maintains the port. That kind of crippling grasp on the ecosystem is difficult to tolerate, and simply nothing compared to what's going on with Google.

Today with Pixel phones, you can secure boot third party OSes without even voiding your warranty. You can unlock the bootloader. Even if this ever were to go away, Android still has multiple ecosystems and you can sideload apps as long as your OEM doesn't disable this, and Google doesn't.

Apple isn't getting more consumer friendly. iOS is less private than ever, not more, and Apple seems intent on making it worse; they dropped the needless CSAM debacle, but that doesn't mean it should be ignored. Apple has made their position clear: an iPhone is not your phone. It's Apple's phone. You may borrow it on their terms. The law may say otherwise, but Apple thwarts your attempts to work around it.

Android is imperfect; it's definitely not good for privacy if you use stock ROMs, it's behind on security in many fronts, and Play Store lock-in has definitely put a damper on innovation. That having been said, though, at the end of the day, Google gives you options that lets you take control over the device. The future of being able to control your own devices is unclear with remote attestation once again on the horizon, but being able to control what software runs on your device to a decent degree is absolutely an important feature for me, especially after hoping and praying that Apple would eventually fix the problems I had with iOS. But they were not bugs to Apple, they were features, and Apple knows if people could run their own code, those features wouldn't work very well.

That left a bad taste in my mouth. Until it's fixed, I don't think I can consider phones that Apple sells today as serious options as they are a different class of device to Android phones the way that a game console is a different class of device to a typical laptop.

Twitter back in the day had a web page (m.twitter.com) which worked everywhere, even under Links2 with the graphical UI.

If the reason it's "the user can't be tracked equally without a JS Big Brother behemoth", then they don't understand how cookies can be used for that, or by just parsing the user tweets and preferences.
It seems like having more people makes everything more efficient. For example, with hiking if you have 100 + people single file on a trail , the guy in front can stop, take a break, and rejoin at the end without everyone having to stop. repeat.

I've tried to build my attention span back up. I measure this by how long I can read a book without the reflexive urge to look away or switch to something on my phone.

What I find helpful:

1. Try not to multitask. Do not look at your phone while watching a show. Do not listen to a podcast while working. I tend to use podcasts as a way to get myself to do something else I don't enjoy, but I'm either distracted from work or tuning the podcast out so I stopped.

2. Let your mind think thoughts on its own without input. Take breaks that don't involve any media at all.

3. Dedicate time to reading longer things. Set a timer and say "today I'm going to read this book for 15 minutes without a break". Or 20 minutes. Or an hour. If you're already at an hour you probably aren't in the audience for this article anyway.

4. Use the pomodoro method while working.

I'm sure some people will read this list with a sense of derision, but perhaps others will relate. Attention span is like a muscle that's been atrophied to a different extent in different people.

I know there were issues that precipitated the direct election of Senators but I think we would be better if we went back to State Senate control of the Senate, that would force people to focus more on their state and local politics where they have more power rather than ignoring them and shouting how the US Senate is doing nothing.
But the line of people overall shifts back one person each time, so the average speed would still be the same as if the guy was alone.

Doesn't this risk any water that does end up getting in, to accumulate and cause more damage over time since there's no route for it to dry out?

I was always taught in my building science courses to put the water/air/vapour control layer inside the wall, before the insulation, so vapour can dry out from both sides.

It's a bit of a half way point between variable rate mortgages and fixed 30-years that works better for everybody- most of the time.

The banks are protected from whatever might happen a decade down the road. The homeowner has at least a few years of consistency. Usually, if rates have gone up a lot since the homeowner started the mortgage then they can refinance a new 30 year at the slightly lower principal remaining, cushioning the increase.

It's only a bad thing if rates go up very suddenly, as we're seeing.

I think people overestimate the time savings with pre-filled tax forms.

I've filed taxes in countries that "auto-complete" your return. What I end up doing in that case is pulling all the forms I received, double checking all the numbers, and if they are correct, hitting "submit".

So I basically end up doing the return anyways.

That said it was much simpler - but not because the form was already filled out, but because the tax code was way simpler.

If the IRS starts auto-completing forms, people are either going to still have to "do their taxes" or just take the risk that the numbers are right.

If you had a super simple return to start with, it wasn't much work anyways.

Exactly! Unlike in a fission reactor, where you can flow the coolant through the core, in a fusion reactor the energy has to be radiated through the surface of the reactor. The square/cube law comes into play: the surface area you can radiate through goes as r^2, while volume (and cost) of the reactor goes as r^3.

This problem has been known for decades.

Fascinating.

> In AI, two-player zero-sum games (such as heads-up hold'em) are usually won by approximating a Nash equilibrium strategy; however, this approach does not work for games with three or more players. Pluribus instead uses an approach which lacks strong theoretical guarantees, but nevertheless appears to work well empirically at defeating human players. Across the competitions, Pluribus won an average of over 30 milli big blinds per game. Pluribus' self-learned play style eschews "limping" (calling the big blind), and engages in "donk betting" (ending a round with a call and starting the next round by betting) more often than human experts do.
I feel like I am the odd one out in that I don't hate MBTI. I would not use them as a measurement of performance or individual worth, but I do think they might have some value as a team-building exercise.

Imagine everyone on a team does a (free, found online, not 'legitimate') test and then spends an hour or two discussing the results. Everyone learns that the developers are not very agreeable (joking! Lighten up!) and that the sales people are extroverted and that we're all quite different but we can all work together to achieve a common goal, or whatever.

I think it's fine so long as you don't claim it it science and that you don't get caught up in it. And it's better than going on a ropes course . . .

The best way to really tell the difference, in my view, is to watch YouTube videos or see comparisons of photographs. I find that a lot of written articles or comments on forums really hype up the difference (along the lines of "get the new phone, it has a better camera"), when in practice, it's not that noticeable.

For example, this YouTube video from a quick YouTube search shows fairly insignificant differences between the iPhone 11 and 13 non-Pro models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjosGytrIJI

I don’t think this will significantly impact inReach sales. The Globalstar network is not a serious competitor to Iridium for life-critical applications, and inReach-type devices have far wider operating ranges (try sending an SOS from your iPhone when the battery dies in any sort of sub-freezing weather) and much longer battery life.
I'm pretty sure the decision on how to address the bug (and the determination of even if it's a bug) was not done by one dev. Other devs were involved and the determination was made as a team to make the change. Having a better fix, e.g. something like what is suggested in #90716 is not precluded. As yet, no one has actually stepped up with a better int-to-str implementation. I.e. something that can be reviewed, tested and then maintained in the long term As discussed in #90716, there is not much point in trying to do something similar to what GMP does. People can just install that library and use it.

I'm not sure why people are so excited about this issue. It's not much different than sys.setrecursionlimit(). We know how to implement tail recursion. Python doesn't do it though and so there is a limit, set high enough that most people don't care. It seems a perfectly practical approach to me.
Plus, it’s a legal madness when a fork starts implementing features available in the BSL version, even if those are written in a different way.
In my experience, big box stores offering employee incentives for moving specific items into your hands.

I have the opposite view having used a large-format (13.3") B&W e-ink reader for nearly a year and a half.[1]

The device itself is the size of a printed full-format magazine. It's larger than most books, and if you're reading principally textual material, an 8--10" screen might be preferable (smaller, slightly lighter, more portable), but if you're inclined to read old-school articles scanned in with middlin' quality, this is excellent.

I far prefer paginated navigation. I use the device as well for much web reading, almost entirely using the Einkbro browser, which as the name suggests is optimised for e-ink. Basically, that amounts to full-page navigation based on touch (not gestures), and some settings for favouring a high-contrast black-on-white style on most websites. (HN's slight off-white main-page background is highly distracting. Even on desktop, I've inverted the main body and margin colour schemes using the Stylus extension (Firefox).)

I find that Pocket, though it typically renders articles well, navigates them poorly. It's instead hugely preferable to either read them on Einkbro or use that browser's print-to-PDF or print-to-ePub[2] features and then read content directly via Onyx's bookreader software (NeoReader).

For formatted books and articles generally, I far prefer paginated formatting, and will usually opt for PDF rather than ePub formats because the PDFs read better. This is after decades of being a PDF critic. It turns out that the problem is far less the PDF format than device displays. Laptops and desktops are landscape rather than portrait (though a sufficiently large desktop is good for viewing content with other applications/windows visible, and/or in 2-up mode), and phones are Too Damned Small. E-ink at 8" or larger is a whole new world.[3]

Russia is as toxic as you can possibly get, they have a 'brain drought' of talent that has exited the country either in protest or in fear or retaliation for sympathizing with Ukraine. Russia's losing the war because they always value loyalty over skill, strategy -- those with skill usually end up appearing to be a threat so end up dead, or get canned if they're lucky - militarily speaking.

In the business/tech centers, there practically IS no business/tech centers, with all this moving out of Russia into the western nations and baltic states -- there will be huge growth after the war is over in most EU countries that aren't Russia or Belarus.

Short term, I think it will be a struggle, long term I think weaker Russia is good for the whole world, I'm hoping china begins to decline too - esp with the real estate crash they have looming, if they lose their ass on foreign real estate our housing prices might go to some semblance of normalcy. Here in Utah, the average home price went from 200k 10 years ago to 600k now, only way I'll ever own a home is if I buy land and build a $10k earthbag home lol.

But if the reason they needed a manager to advocate for them was that other managers were either adversarial or ambivalent, that's just adding back value that was previously removed.

But "adversarial" management is just a reality in company that has $X to spend and 12 different ways to spend it.

Business decisions often have to made with limited data. A engineers "super cool feature that should obviously be implemented" is not so obvious at the CEO level where there are multiple competing projects.
