Technical and security issues aside, I wonder how the users are going to take it.

My generation (1992) didn’t have a major cultural phenomenon being attacked in this way, though there was still the moral panic around things like social media and research chems.

The closest comparison I can draw is the crackdown on raves which affected western Gen X youth, but TikTok is more pervasive and more heterogeneous as a form of cultural expression.

Copycats? Underground tiktok? Gen Z influencers calling for action against the feds? Acceptance of the government’s position?
I don't think multitail really understands logs like lnav does, it's just following the last lines in the file. For example, if you try to follow multiple files in multitail like so:

$ multitail /var/log/install.log -I /var/log/system.log

You get a view with the tail from one file followed by the tail from the other, they are not collated by timestamp. In contrast, if you do the same thing in lnav:

$ lnav /var/log/install.log /var/log/system.log

You will get a single view with all of the log messages from both files and they're sorted by their timestamps. Here is all of what lnav is doing:

* Monitoring files/directories for updates
* Decompressed files/archives
* Detected the log format for each file
* Created SQLite vtables that provide access to log messages
* Built an index of all the log messages in all the files so
you can jump to a certain point in time or to the
next/previous error message.
* Display all log messages with syntax highlighting
Yeah... this is a great breakthrough and an historic day for physics and engineering and humanity. Every American should swell with pride.

The benefit would be if there was a language where everything is an actor. It would greatly simplify your programming model.

I'm thinking of the early versions of Smalltalk which tilted towards this direction. Why did they abandon 'active objects'? I guess the hardware just wasn't there yet.

Calling this fusion ignition is stupid. Laser fusion is unlike other fusion devices in that the efficiency of laser is extremely low. It is true that the reaction created 3MJ when the laser energy input INTO THE REACTION CHAMBER is 2MJ. But the whole laser system took 300MJ to run for this one shot. Thus the real Q value is extremely low compared to other fusion methods.
Most EVs have a single-speed gearbox. A few have multiple gear ratios, but it's not common.

(It's not unusually for ICE vehicles converted to EV to retain a manual transmission, but conversions aren't being done in large numbers.)
When you make up 25% of the global population - it's pretty hard for companies to compete when 25% of the global market is locked out.

The idea that we can allow China to ban all non-Chinese companies and then let Chinese companies "freely compete" with other global companies is insane, and I'm not sure why it's been going on for 30 years.

I guess because China was starting from so far behind that it took 20+ years for any Chinese companies to get to a point they are literal threats to western companies.

If we follow down this path of allowing China to gate access to 25% of the world and having our companies compete with theirs - there will mostly only be Chinese companies left...

That sounds infinitely more dystopian to me.
SV failed to build social media products that appeal to Gen-Z so this is the "plan B". The only reason why TikTok is getting banned is because its popular. And the only reason why its popular is because US-based entrepreneurs seem to struggle building products that connect with users under the age of 30.

The irony is there was a product, Vine, that filled this niche but it was ultimately killed by Facebook (who promoted Tiktok because they didn't want Vine making inroads with their users) and Twitter (by not developing it further).

Sorry if that sounded this way. As I said, "kudos to the researchers". They probably have good reasons to be happy, and we can cheer them for that - but the expections for the word "breakthrough" to be used for the layman are not met, sorry.
>Is it really unfortunate?

Yes; the system should not be biased towards guilt.
I don't think Somalia can properly be considered to have been stateless, but as you seem to think so, maybe you can explain why life expectancy, immunization, birth weight, infant mortality rate, maternal mortality rate, access to sanitation, access to at least one health facility, extreme poverty, access to radios, telephones, and TVs, and fatality due to measles all improved after the fall of Barre's government?[0]

Somali privacy is extremely profitable because of the geography and shipping lanes of the Gulf of Aden, and the pirates certainly operate on a market system, even if they don't respect outsiders property rights. It's not like the US government does either. The people who have their homes destroyed by the US military have no more chance of getting compensation than the owners of cargo hijacked by Somali pirates. If we also consider governments use of asset forfeiture, taxation, fines, licence fees, etc. I think it becomes a little ridiculous to focus on the Somali pirates. There are more piracy in the Gulf of Guinea anyway, so why single out Somalia?

Huh, ok. After some quick Googling, Wikipedia paints JET has having tried, and failed, to reach Q=1, only getting 0.67, which was way back in 1997.

It's very strange to read that we get Q=0.67 in 1997 in a tokomak, and then Q=1.5 in 2022 with a totally different laser inertial confinement design. That... seems to be the written history.

I know Iter would be surpassing the record, but the timelines are long to the point that one loses hope in the project.

Definitely noticed this effect when applying now too.

Additionally a responsive and clearly communicating company is always a good sign that they really need to fill the role. It is always a plus if I go from hiring manager/recruiter straight upper management interviews in a matter of days.

Additionally the quicker the employer response the more likely the applicant is mentally primed for the responder and does not yet have their mental/time bandwidth taken by competitors.
What is a "main information network?" Are websites ok? Podcasts?
Uh what US warfare have you been watching? Your analogy only works if it’s the like the 2000-200 Bulls (15-67).
If they are, this could backfire spectacularly. Planting the idea that social media can be manipulated by the owners to persuade a population moves social media closer to traditional media companies and further away from mere "platforms" eligible for section 230 protection.

The manipulation of society at scale by a foreign adversary is my biggest concern about tik tok. I imagine they can flip a switch or more likely a long slow push of american values to china’s liking.

As a French person who lives in SF and has gone through FAANGs and startups, I saw a few things that might be of interest:

- In France, people often complain about the cost to hire, and how hard it is to get rid of an employee once you hire one. While most employees like these labor laws that are supposed to protect them, I would guess a number of employers are annoyed by it and end up hiring mostly contractors.

- A lot of good engineers end up in large employers that are working on a lot of government money. Think airbus, tales, safran, etc. These places are quite depressing, far from any big city, and tend to innovate in non-directly-user-oriented products.

- The hustling, and overworking culture that's extremely prevalent in the bay (people don't stay up late, work hard most of the week, mostly talk about work) is not really a thing in France. I once heard "people in France work to live, and people in the US live to work" and I totally agree with it. Hell, my childhood friends back in France get an insane number of holidays compared to people here in the US. (Some of them are forced to take 3 consecutive weeks every year, on top of their other PTOs.)

- A lot of large companies/employers are also old families that got rich and have completely horrible/racist management and treat developers like low labor. Think telecoms, banks, etc.

- A number of good engineers leave because the US pays more. I wouldn't think that it's a huge number though, as I noticed that very few people are willing to leave the country to study/work in general.

I've just submitted in order to see the second part, which just says "now look for 14 unique".

I dont see the problem here, if you want a notation to express it, a macro for something like,

0 != 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
1 != 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ...

is straightforward, and could be parameterised on the window size.

I probably do something in unusual way, but kinda never I have updates interrupting my work - it's a nice notice and possibility to delay if needed. I do reboots on 2-3 weeks interval on average when system needs it.

I think the fact that so many people use TikTok shows how little the average voter cares about privacy.
This isn't true and you know it. Producing an electric car releases slightly more emissions than an ICE car, but as soon as you start actually driving them the EV has a far smaller carbon impact, even if your electricity is 100% coal (which it almost certainly isn't).

EVs are way more energy-efficient than ICE vehicles. Something like 80% of the energy from the gas you put in your car is wasted.
Is the bottleneck for fusion money though?
The Y comes from the mass of matter converted in to energy. The mass of the material before the reaction is greater than the mass of its products.

The law you're referring to might be the conservation of energy, but that applies to non-nuclear reactions and is more accurately called the law of conservation of mass-energy. In this case the energy in times the mass at the start is still equal to the energy out times the mass at the end. For the energy to increase, the mass must decrease to produce the Y in your equation.
> They are spending 14% more on recruitment advertising

Oh boy, huge assumptions there, so bad that I would associate that thinking with HR recruiters. What matters is what selects/filters for desirable employees. Getting 14% more applicants is a terrible metric to be measuring - https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law which is obvious since one can increase applications by advertising in irrelevant places to get more irrelevant applicants.

Alternatively 14% more could be extremely important, if a lack of salary indication filtered for bad candidates, and salary indication brought in good candidates.

> A single day of delay in response causes 28% of candidates to become unresponsive to recruiters (this is from our company's research). It drops to 51% become unresponsive 48 hours later. [your top level comment].

That’s an interesting metric, since anecdotally the best candidates get snapped up extremely quickly.

It is obviously very difficult to find good factual correlations: a lack of good data just produces opinions.

Solar and wind have massive environmental impacts. Fusion's foot print is much smaller for the same output. Batteries are rather dangerous. Fusion is -- as far as I understand it -- much less likely to escape a reactor due to how difficult it is to sustain the reaction. Moreover, it's more dependable.

So in sum, the advantages are (1) dependability, (2) safety, and (3) small footprint.

It's not even true then, a coal-powered EV results in less emissions than a gas-powered car because the EV engine is so much more energy-efficient.

Check page 4. This legislation provides a list of companies which are social media companies. TikTok, Bytedance and any company that may be owned by either of those are the companies listed.

What other social media companies from China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela might they have explicitly listed as a social media company? There are probably some.. maybe Yandex has some social media? WeChat? Regardless, only TikTok/Bytedance are explicitly named as examples. Obviously they have it in for TikTok specifically.

> It's old, and thus less sexy/marketable

It's been gaining traction in the past few years. I've never dealt with it professionally, but just from my hobby stuff I've had recruiters reach out.
Initial investment cost to build reactors would in all likelihood be very high just by the nature of these being some of the most complex machines on the planet. It seems unlikely any sort of fast manufacturing line could be created to build these, and they’d all likely be built one at a time like fission reactors.

Running costs and maintenance would also be high, the fuel alone is expensive (right now), and I’ve heard that wear and tear on parts of the reactors can be high so much of the housing for the reactor would need to be replaced with time.

You’ve probably also got a small army of engineers running each one of these reactors you’ve got to pay.

All that said, the energy produced via fusion is EXTREMELY abundant. I imagine with later reactor iterations (after supply chains have been setup and electrical transportation routes upgrades) electricity could become very cheap even relative to renewables.
That's a circular argument. It's big because the people doing it call it big. Why should I, an outsider, care about their internal goals, their egoes, or their status in their field? What does it do or imply for me?
If we assume (big assumption) Musk has done everything right since the closing, he may still just be rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic.

Except this time he found out.
Thank you for educating me. I was unaware Joe Biden invented the concept of bringing down CO2 emissions. It’s important that we’re calling him out by name so that we can illustrate the sixty years of effort put forth by the hard working men and women in nuclear physics. It is, after all, his money that is funding this research effort.

There's very little objective about "software engineering" beyond fitting the specification and not running too slow. Almost every "rule" can be challenged, as it makes assumptions about the human brain, which is not well understood.

Yeah, and he was also in a state where the same strategy kept working again and again, so he may have been convinced it's a fundamental aspect of reality.

Any time SBF ran into trouble, he could just raise another round of financing, or borrow against artificial valuations, or "smooth things over" with the right people.

Once that happens enough, I imagine a lot of people would start to feel some cosmic entitlement to it, like that's just how it is, the FTT tokens must be worth $24 each, it's only a matter of "getting liquidity"[1], you can always raise more money, you can always call in a favor, you can always borrow against what you think the assets are worth, there's no reason to hold customer assets in their original form.

Heck, even to the very last days, when his attorneys and CFO were telling him he had to declare bankruptcy, he adamantly insisted that new funding was just about to come through -- and even that he got the offer moments after declaring -- but, of course, he can't say who, or under what terms, even why they would invest. [2]

Personally, I always try to maintain a frame of "these good times don't have to last, they can go away at any moment, so make sure you're ready for if/when that happens". But maybe I'd falter too, in the same position.
