Without specifics, this isn’t a matter of comprehension skills. Broad, evidence-free claims cannot be argued with.
Furthermore, fusion does not produce highly radioactive, long lived nuclear waste. “Fusion produces only low level radioactive waste — more than fission does — but this low level waste does not pose any serious danger,” said González de Vicente. Contaminated items, such as protective clothing, cleaning supplies and even medical tubes or swabs, are short lived, low level radioactive waste that can be safely handled with basic precautions.

Why ban TikTok by name and not by legislating away the specific bad things it does? I don't see anything in this legislation that would affect Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts, both of which are using their own engagement-focused algorithm for recommending content. If being addicting is the reason we don't like TikTok, then why are we OK with it when a domestic company does it?

Because Facebook lobbyists don't want that, they just want to eliminate the competition.

We don't need to regulate TikTok, we need to regulate Social Media as a whole.
Meta doesn't operate in China.
What a great comment. I applaud the transparency and depth. Nice.
YouTube Shorts are awful compared to TikTok
I was a big fan of SAFARI. Popped up that big scary red screen with lots of interesting info.
MDRAID had write hole until 4.4 (2015, https://lwn.net/Articles/665299/) and it had been long awaited back then. ZFS to my knowledge deals with that by variable stripe length that has its own problems but yeah it works. Btrfs changes implementation of the stripe update while preserving the on-disk format (i.e. can't do the same as ZFS without introducing incompatible change), intent log/bitmap have been proposed (which would be the MDRAID approach) but that's another incompatible change. So the 'next one' is at the cost of performance but with same compatibility.
Calling this "ignition" is a misnomer. The correct term, as given in the article (as opposed to the headline) is exceeding breakeven: more fusion energy output than energy input to the target.

"Ignition" means the reaction becomes self-sustaining and does not require any further input of energy to continue.
South Korea: the corruption that built its economy (2017)
<<I strongly recommend you review the definition of deflation.

It is possible I am working with old mental models, but first search result defines it as:

"Deflation is a fall in the overall level of prices in an economy and an increase in the purchasing power of the currency. It can be driven by an increase in productivity and the abundance of goods and services, by a decrease in total or aggregate demand, or by a decrease in the supply of money and credit."

If prices increase ( albeit at a lower rate ), it is still inflation ( especially if purchasing power stays where it is, which it typically would ).

Can you elaborate on your thought process? It is possible I am misreading something.

<< Once wages catch up to this recent bout of inflation (they eventually will), most consumers will be much better off than if the inflation had never happened.

Um.. I think I have to categorize that statement as wishful thinking. Federal minimum wage remains very low and even recent attempts to update it were shot down. I think 'eventually' is doing a lot of heavy lifting here ( it likely is true, but the time horizon on that statement is fairly long ).

I am open to discussion, but I am not convinced at this time.

> the major issue with fission is the enormous costs of trying to avoid problems or cleanup after them. Thus 24/7 security, redundancy on top of redundancy, walls thick enough to stop aircraft etc.

A fusion reactor will also require wall thick enough to stop aircraft. Security will likey be the same to. And there is no fundamental reason why fusion should require any less for any of these.

In fact the actual cost of nuclear is CAPX and comes from the large civil engineering project with high specification, the steam turbine and water towers.

There are lots of fission based reactor designs that have non of these things. So nothing you describe has really much to do with 'fission' itself. Fission plants can also be made so that airborn radiation is practically impossible.

We simply stopped fundamentally advancing fission reactors in the early 70s and instead of solving problems fundamentally, we added lots of regulation.
> In terms of the Euro, I find it more useful to view the Eurozone as somewhat similar to the US. There's one central monetary policy for really large economies that in a different environment, would have liked to do things independently. It's especially relevant now as US states have GDPs comparable to the Eurozone constituent nations.

There is an enormous difference, though: internal mobility/identity.

Germans tend to strongly prefer living in Germany. Greeks tend to strongly prefer living in Greece.

People in Oregon and New Hampshire tend not to have very strong affection for their state.

Which means that, if one area is economically depressed at the same time that another area is booming, the problem tends to sort itself out as people move from the struggling area and to the prosperous one.

In Europe, that just doesn't happen to nearly the same extent.
Salary by Location
There was a recent post about YC companies not posting salary range on their job postings.

One of the reasons might be not knowing what to offer for a particular job in a specific region.

Multiple services provide salary info, and if you compare them, you will notice that salary data is inconsistent.

I have created a simple search form to list the salary info from multiple vendors so you can compare them in one place. In addition, it will show you a link to each source if you're interested in learning more.

Here is the link:

Did you stop using the telephone because anyone, including bad people, can use it to make phone calls?

What about the grocery store? Did you know that bad people use those as well?

Even going back to your bar example. I am sure that bad people go to bars all the time. And generally speaking, nobody gets kicked out, nor do people just leave.

I genuinely can't tell what "leftist forces" or specific events you're talking about here, which is why it sounds like conspiracy theories.

And like, get some perspective. Twitter isn't leftist, democrats aren't leftist, no american government has ever been leftist. I am leftist. I would free all prisoners and ban all police, seize property from landlords and give it to the homeless. That is a leftist position. If a neoliberal democratic executive branch seems ridiculously far to your left it is because you are very far to the right. The government is not the one on the extreme here.

Thinking "the culture war" is the most pressing concern we face, thinking there is a "leftist conspiracy" against you when there hasn't been a meaningfully powerful leftist movement in the US in generations, these are extreme right positions. The right is ginning up a harassment campaign against queer people using something almost exactly like the blood libel that has concretely caused violent deaths in the last year. The far right local governments of florida and other southern states are actually using the state apparatus to censor books and behavior. The call is coming from inside the house my man.

Normal people do not care about "the culture wars" like this. You are part of a far right movement. And that is part of your character. You can't participate in it then claim distance. I do not accept your moral self-infantilization; you are responsible for the consequences of the positions and people you support.
This is a ridiculous idea.

It should be either all or none. No nuance or gray areas at all.
Ok, glad we are on the same page now. "Holding cash" is vague enough that it could still be in a bank. I thought it was clear what I was talking about since I made the distinction between savings accounts and storing cash under a mattress in my first comment. Savings accounts are risk-free in the same sense that US bonds are risk-free. There is technically some level of risk, but there would have to be a pretty unlikely turn of events to actually lose money. However, there are a whole lot of people out there that don't trust banks and don't trust the government.
OP is likely referring to the "Who is Hiring?" posts. Those offerings are user-generated and likely fall under Section 230. Even if that weren't the case, New York City has no juridiction over a company's speech in the Bay Area.
Ok, so how long do I have to wait to get a coffee-can sized device to power my house?
Thank you very much, I will go over perspective-el this weekend.
Let's say this all works out and over the next few decades fusion replaces all other electricity generation, and we're past the point where all the initial infrastructure costs have been paid for.

How much will my electric bill be reduced?
SBF was supposed to be the good guy. FTX was supposed to be the good exchange.

> creating that 2 MJ laser beam required 200 MJ

NIF uses notoriously inefficient lasers. They lase fine. Just not efficiently. From what I've seen, that 200 MJ would be closer to 20 MJ with modern equipment.

Still a gap! And there is still making the fuel, making and replacing the reactor as well as collection losses. But we're within two orders of magnitude of system break even, which is closer than we've ever been.
When you say "gearboxes" as in traditional multi ratio transmissions? If so, are you 100% sure about that?
It was low quality. Setting up a business in the UK, for example, costs £40.

There's Estonia e-business registration, which is quite a well known thing for registered a startup in the EU, it costs about €350.
Sort of.

We don't have a commercially viable technology here yet, but we've proven that it's at least viable for the part that needs to produce energy actually can produce energy.

As I understand it, now we start down the road of improving the ratio and optimizing the process.

FWIW, from my lay perspective it seems like the research NIF is doing is significantly smaller scale than the work being done elsewhere. That's a good thing in this case, because the output:input ration - the Q - seems to increase exponentially relative to input power.
If the bill passes, we might get both.

I can't vouch for how European Countries labor laws influence start up culture over there, and I'm sure its definitely a thing, but I quibble strongly with the idea that US manufacturing was moved to Asia because of environmental regulations.

Its generally accepted that its due to a one two punch of lower labor costs and a lack of willingness to invest back into factories due to de-regulation in the 80s and 90s which favored financialization of corporations[0].

This lead to a self-perpetuating cycle where American manufacturers struggled and couldn't make the investments needed to stay competitive in most markets where there wasn't regulation (such as car tariffs). This in turn lead to situations where, for instance, if you needed specialized manufacturing Asia ended up farther ahead on both price and quality than the typical US manufacturer.

In short, it was de-regulation that lead to structural favoring of financialized corporations which in turn lead to a downward investment in manufacturing in the US while investment in manufacturing sectors in Japan, China and other countries soared[1]

I'm not sure why USDC withdrawals were paused rather than trades on USDP/USDC and BUSD/USDC pairs temporarily disabled. I assume there were trade-offs or technical reasons why it was done this way.
I may be missing something, but isnt the obvious answer just to scan-and-compare 4 chars/time ? (Noting that != is XOR).

int main(void) {

char *c = 0, *data = "nznrnfrfntjfmvfwmzdfjlvtqnbhcprsg";

for (
c = data;
!((c[1] != c[0]) &&
((c[2] != c[1]) && (c[2] != c[0])) &&
((c[3] != c[2]) && (c[3] != c[1]) && (c[3] != c[0])));
c++
);

printf("%ld", c-data+4);

They should ban tiktok. Why should we play nice when China continues to not allow US companies to have any real market share in China.
I don’t understand the bi-partisan dislike of Tik Tok. As far as content goes, it’s pretty wholesome compared to what you see on movies and TV these days. It’s much better at giving kids age appropriate content than other sites. There is also a lot less commercialized stuff. Way better than cartoons that peddle toys and junk.
This is a stupid question but I don't know anything about fusion:

How is it possible for X energy to create X+Y energy in output? Doesn't that violate some fundamental law of physics?
Yeah, which is great for storage but doesn't help over the wire.
The beauty of writing more descriptive error codes is that it also forces the developer to think more thoroughly about what is causing a particular error and -
hopefully- eliminating the issue all together.

I love finding easter eggs in code bases or error messages (as long as they don't introduce more headaches, of course).
New Zealand passes world-first tobacco law to ban smoking for next generation
Hm, I have the exact opposite interpretation. This is exactly the kind of feature that leads to arguments. If `unless` didn't exist, what argument could people be having about using `if !`?

In a shared codebase, I think there should be as few (equally effective) ways to express an idea as possible. (Obviously there can be more- and less-efficient ways to write a function; I'm referring only to style.) The more arbitrary choices people have, the more time is wasted on choosing one.

If you're coding alone, that's fine - you just pick what you like, and spend as long as you like making that decision. But in a shared codebase, developers writing in different styles is a net negative on quality & readability. Spending time debating which style to prefer is a worthwhile, but unnecessary time sink. Automatically enforcing a pre-defined style is efficient and effective - that's why Prettier exists, is widely used, and has few configuration options.
There isn't a problem.
Widespread energy generation nuclear fission is politically impossible in most Western countries.

Why are people optimistic that fusion won't have the same kind of problems, such as new plants being too expensive to build and old obsolete plants being too useful to decommission?
There were or are remote job listings that excluded people living in Colorado. Any any new job listing could choose to exclude residents of NYC/CO/WA/CA.

This is really besides the point and in this context seems to argue it would be fine to break the law if it were beneficial, it just happens that it's not the case.
It was (among other things) the name of an album by White Town, aka Jyoti Mishra, best known for the hit single Your Woman. Apparently it was made on an Atari ST with a sequencing program that was given away free on the front of a magazine.

Free stuff always helps. But it’s not the same as cold hard cash.
Except that #1 is basically wrong. The way I read this is, fusion power is STILL 30-50 years away, but at least the well-paid LLNL nerds got NIF to work, a decade late. It was a decade of defeating plasma instabilities with target redesign. What I am somewhat dismayed about is I question whether this tweaking is applicable, in any way, to a practical method of fusion power generation. The results, I believe, are still highly chaotic, with duds intermixed with terrific shots, indicating only partial success in taming the instabilities that lead to the fizzles. But the only way inertial confinement fusion has any real applicability to power generation is if there is another order of magnitude of yield hiding behind the taming of those instabilities.
It will get there. It's just a matter of time and resources.

The destination will be a milestone for humanity, so we should not give up.
You're using X energy to release Y energy from the fuel (the pellet, containing deuterium and tritium). It was there already, just not in a usable form.

As i have posted here many times, i live very close to a nuclear power plant.

Everyone in the area simply calls it "the nuke plant".

It is a directional landmark : "yeah, so once you get to the nuke plant turn left...."

"Once you see the nuke plant you know you are getting close"..

Its full name is a mouth full : Pickering Nuclear Generating Station.

Citing wikipedia sometimes backfires.
If ignition was achieved, why would they have to keep on shooting more fuel pellets? Shouldn't they just ignite one fuel pellet and feed in more fuel?
> It’ll be fun in 10 years when you need the equivalent of calling cards to access foreign sites.

The world was headed that way a long time ago, and this wouldn't significant change anything. Assuming it could ever pass, it looks like typical political theater to me.
A locomotive or car also have a high amount of engineering and expertise poured into them, and that fosters a third-party maintenance industry. No one would accept a fully black box locomotive or car that only the original manufacturer can open and repair, for whatever they want to charge. We are becoming too comfortable with monopolies.
[0] provides economic analysis for this type of power plant. They conclude it would not be unreasonable to get levelized cost of energy could get as low as $25/MWh. For this one really needs a high gain of 1000, although gains of 400 are a bit more reasonable, and a gain of around 100 may be economically competitive in some cases.

While the gain NIF achieved was about 1.5, there is good reason to expect it can be scaled up. Ignition is a runaway process, so small changes in the input can result in large changes in the output. Hydrogen bombs, which also use a burning plasma as was demonstrated here, also suggest that the gain and yield may be scaled up.

I'm afraid as you guessed it, iOS-only for launch on Jan 10th but we want to get Android and web as quickly as we find product market fit (PMF). This decision is so we can iterate and improve the product based on our users feedback as quickly as possible, the more platforms we support the slower can move. We suspect though we're going to hear this a lot more and PMF for a new calendar service might only be possible with apps on all your devices!
Oil is a pretty good example here, some oils do require a lot of energy to burn if they are just sitting there in a puddle. They don't become efficient to burn until you make a modification like aerosolizing the oil and mixing with air or introducing a wick.
There’s a cost-benefit analysis here that you are refusing to do: Of the two variants you’ve posted, the first will click immediately with a generalist dev who doesn’t know Ruby. The second will have them reasoning out loud, and then reaching for the docs to double check that their common-sense intuitions are correct.

This is not a contrived example. I regularly find myself having to read some code in a language in which I am not proficient. Stuff like ’unless’ is such a pointless obstacle in these scenarios.

So ”elegance” doesn’t come free. The cost is a loss of transferable knowledge from other languages. Your intuition is that this cost is low relative to the benefit of ”elegance,” I have the opposite intuition. Why stray from such universal conventions in favour of one person’s subjective aesthetic preference?
If anything, I am surprised it improved on GPT-3 and Codex (Copilot) so quickly. That it achieved what it did - not really. After all, 50% of people have IQ below 100. And professionals in many fields just get by with pattern matching. It's easy to perplex an average academic teacher or a doctor with an atypical question/situation, even if it follows from the first principles.

Apart from the safety improvements and environmental benefits, it's a way to produce a ton of energy. I believe it's about 4 times as much energy from fusion compared to fission with the same amount of fuel. I'm a fan of solar and wind, but it's going to be way easier to power the entire world sustainably if you've got fusion in the mix.
While both IT and engineering jobs in Big Tech involve computer technology, IT tends to be a cost center while Big Tech’s engineering groups are profit centers. (Or supposed to be).

It would be interesting to compare the unemployment numbers to comp.
No, because the NPV includes all cash flows (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_present_value).

I completely agree with you that it is probably impossible to compute (per my original comment). But at least understanding what the target is helps imo.
I believe the idea is to make it illegal to do business with the entities running the social media app. Apple and Google would have to remove it from their stores. Buying advertising on it would be illegal. Receiving money as a creator from it would be illegal. Etc.
I don't think you are correct. Certainly not with a word size of 4. For very large word sizes, the early return will be a big win. But you are really under-rating how expensive the hashmap will be vs "bit munging".

You could roll your own perfect hash, but you would end up with a solution that looks almost identical to TFA. If you use a stdlib hash, you are going to be chasing pointers all over memory to do a single insert / lookup. De-referencing a single pointer not in cache costs 50 - 100 clock cycles on a modern system. By the time you do one insert, TFA will have XOR'd at least 32 chars into its bit mask. And your cache won't be as nice as in TFA, slowing you down even more.

Given the two scenarios:
1) bit munging, no early return
2) hash lookup, early return

I would guess scenario 1 wins until word size gets above ~256. And obviously, we can add an early return to scenario 1 to make it unquestionably the fastest.
Yes.
