Bloody is pretty satisfying and Ron Weasley can say that in a Pg film.
ITER is fundamentally unable to replicate the conditions that materials will be subjected to in an actual commercial fusion reactor. It cannot achieve the same cumulative neutrons dose that a real reactor can experience. It will not be able to answer the questions that need to be answered to prove out the materials for first walls or blankets, and it will not be able to establish reliability metrics for these structures.

For this reason, there has long been a call for a FNSF. This facility is likely to be needed to establish designs for components that would go into the putative successor to ITER (DEMO).
I've failed at "creating content as a side gig" multiple times over the course of my career, and I'm working on providing more structure in my life so I can give it another go. Over the last little bit I've been getting my sleep, diet and exercise in order, and doing more reading about how ADHD and dopamine have affected my brain.

Unfortunately, I can feel the momentum and enthusiasm slowing down after a couple weeks of this. I'm tired, but I'm still trying to write goals and give myself some foundation for my work (Substack, and Twitch, pretty separately). I'm pretty happy with this "elevator pitch", which is something I've never really been able to do:

"I'm writing about the relationships people have with the Internet, and how it changes over time. I want to focus on the effects of fandom on marketing, creativity, competition, and personal identity. The Internet has been an enabler of dreams for a lot of people, and I want to explore how people use that for better or worse."
That's incorrect. Enforcement has failed to handle it, but Apple's app store model is a violation of antitrust law, in the US, the EU, and elsewhere. Many of the actions you are seeing in the news about it are regulatory mandates, based on the fact that Apple's business model isn't legal.
Bah. Nvidia drivers.
Cutting up the space of all possible business models is exactly the job of these authorities, to solve these coordination problems that arise from raw market forces, that only wants to optimize for a local maxima. (And the companies that try to take certain externalities into consideration are disadvantaged, so they have a smaller market share than otherwise, which in many markets simply means zero ... see eg EVs, nuclear power plants, and other current big "revelations".)

I participated in the clinical trial at Duke that's linked to from that story, which honestly was a blast. That the medics let this guy keep training is astonishing to me. If they measured his pulse ox and sent him back in anyways, that's criminal. Also, as I understand it, Sildenafil during dives is a bad idea (something about seizures) which might be why it's "banned" in SEAL training.

But who funded the Duke study that surfaced Sildenafil as a candidate drug? The Navy SEALs, of course.
If you're concerned about that, you shouldn't let them use Facebook in the first place. Hell, if tracking is your concern then they probably shouldn't be using a smartphone at all.

No, because there's always another theory that you can jump to when your prior assumptions fail you.

Here's an easy one: "He was only arrested because he was going to reveal damning truth in today's Congressional hearing."

Even if the DOJ, Congress, and SBF all swear until they are black and blue that it wasn't the reason for the timing of the arrest, the theory can change to "Of course they would say that, they are all in on the deep state conspiracy."

The beautiful thing about the world is that there is an unlimited number of unconfirmable and unrefutable possibilities and could-have-beens that can be used to support any idea - sensible, or silly.
To be clear, pure fusion bombs would still emit massive amounts of radiation. Gamma rays, x-rays, thermal radiation, all off that EM radiation would be emitted just like a regular fission bomb. Neutron radiation too. You'd have less (not zero) contamination of the earth itself afterwards, but everybody in the area would still be very badly irradiated.

I don't know enough about the Hafnium controversy to comment on it.
> Learning to cut mortise and tenons took years of training as a carpenter

For the same reason you mentioned, namely Googling and YouTube videos, I don't believe this is the case either. When the pandemic first struck, I took an interest in carpentry. I found a guy named Paul Sellers who guided me through constructing not only my first project in a set of durable trestles that I still use most days today, but also my first workbench, which I built the frame using, of course, M&T joinery. Each joint while not exactly the most beautiful work is still functional and holds true. It takes some time, patience, the willingness to be steady and not rush -- traits I think we all possess or can learn to posses.

I have also since undertook some more modern carpentry jobs using construction lumber and built garage shelving, a playground for my kids, a back deck, and replaced some rotting facia boards on my home.

The takeaway for me was, while I was pleased with being able to produce useful things for my family to enjoy, the act of using a powered circular saw, wrestling with an air hose to run a dangerous nail gun, and fussing about with construction adhesive and caulk was definitely no where near as enjoyable (or therapeutic) as the process of chiseling out those mortices, or sawing wood by hand. And I am proud of all the projects I have done, but the thing I am the most proud in a weird way was the work I was able to be more intimate with.

So better here may mean more efficient and economical, which I 100% agree with. But it also comes at a loss in my view.

I dream of building a house one day, of modest size. When that time comes, I am almost certain I will attempt to do it the traditional way.

(fyi If anyone is interested in learning balloon framing, I cannot recommend Larry Haun's house framing series enough)

To my knowledge you can either side-load na app from Xcode using the free developer account, but the signing certificate will expire in 7 days, or you can pay 100 USD to Apple and use a personal team to be able to side-load apps whose signing certificate is valid for a year. And you are limited to 5 apps only. Is this incorrect? The only reason I care about this legislation is because I want to side-load an app or multiple apps and don't have to worry about making an Apple Developer account or worry about signing certificates at all. In fact, I'd like to be able to build and compile an app on Linux, in CI, download a file and just drop it on my phone and run as an app. No accounts (like Apple Developer), no payments. Is this possible today?
Ok, that's nice to hear. I must have believed anecdata too much
Probably not enough to qualify. PlayStation 4's total sales in Europe to date is 55 million consoles... but how many are active users? How many have multiple consoles for the same "user"? How many are in storage, were broken, or simply don't get turned on for long periods of time? I think they are borderline or under the limit. As for total developers, there are currently 3,276 recognized games, and thus less than that amount of "developers" as per the legal definition - let alone how many of them are still active. I know we're on PlayStation 5 now, but if PS4 doesn't hit the limit, game consoles are fine. The Nintendo Switch has many more games (particularly indie) than PS4, yet they only hit 4,462.
The number of people falling and sliding out of chairs in these anecdotes seems surprisingly high.

> But the one thing South Korea had over all of them: the USA. The ROK was a US garrison state, and a military dictatorship well into the 80s. They were a major staging ground and supplier for the Vietnam war, and billions of dollars flowed through companies like Hyundai, growing them into industrial giants. The USA was even directly paying ROK soldiers who participated in Vietnam. The USA was eager to maintain a toe-hold on the Asian continent, and provided active support. When the "Arsenal of Democracy" needs a local supplier, you can create a lot of infrastructure.

Funny how I have read the same argument regarding Japan and the Korean War... (I'm not saying it is wrong, just that I find the similitudes interesting)

Hal Finney passed away in 2014. But the address has been active since: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwx...

* Someone else has a copy Finney's key.

That's the whole point of the substitution. To use something that sounds similar enough as to be defensively inoffensive, while still alluding to the intended word as to no actually fool anybody. Thus the etymology is irrelevant.

Steve has already commented re: stability. Personally I've maintained some Rust libraries for several years, and I don't think I've ever seen a build break because of a toolchain update on a tier 1 platform. (I did see a break on 32-bit ARM that made me use nightly for a few weeks several years ago.)

Re: unsafe, there's a similar objection/question that comes up frequently. The Rust standard library is full of unsafe code, as are a lot of common foundational crates. Doesn't that mean that most Rust applications are vulnerable to memory corruption bugs?

The short answer is that safety in Rust isn't about having proofs of correctness all the way down. (Some people do that, but they're inscrutable wizards, and I try not to meddle in their affairs.) Instead, it's about having robust and useful ways to encapsulate unsafety. You want to be able to say "if this function is correct, then callers can't use it to corrupt memory no matter how hard they try." Rust gives you ways to achieve that, without paying the cost of a garbage collector or a GIL.

In embedded/OS development, the difference is that the big pile of unsafe code underneath is probably written by you instead of by compiler folks. That certainly isn't easy. But the tools for encapsulating it are the same, and the value proposition is the same.
I think it would be highly unlikely to create a hash collision that is so specific like this.
The domain names are rented. I remember $12 .com renewals on GoDaddy, now it's $18, Cloudflare charges about $8 for renewals. The registrars always use dependent customers and play with pricing.

I have got a domain hack hal.al last year from host.al, the payment for the registration was done, and I got a confirmation for the domain ownership. After 2-3 days I got an email saying that it is a premium domain and I need to pay $2k to get the ownership. So it's always tricky to purchase a domain, you never own it
It's worth considering the fact that this being a "premium domain" is the only reason it was even available register in the first place. If it had been a $12/year domain, some annoying domainer would have snatched it up on the first day it was available.

Premium domains really do seem to be a win-win for registries and regular buyers.
I definitely agree it's going to be the worst of all worlds. The current model was the most efficient one for Apple and developers. There will be additional costs for everyone involved (great for lawyers and accountants though). The current model was a virtuous cycle that benefited Apple, developers, and users. High trust from users made them amenable to spending money on software, grew the Apple developer ecosystem, and unleashed a wave of innovation which spawned industries since 2008. Importantly, all developers got standard terms which created a level playing field. I suspect we're moving into a world where large developers (Spotify/Netflix/Microsoft) will have much more negotiating leverage than a small developer. But that is the 'business as usual' world, which makes this a reversion to the mean.
everyone should watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ4W1g-6JiY to put this into perspective.

for some reason, all the news articles are extremely misleading.

previous output ratio for this fusion method was something like 70%, now it is 150%. it's a useful improvement, but not a major breakthrough. the whole system still consumes 100x more energy than it produces. 100MJ of energy is needed to power the laser. the laser generates only 2MJ of energy that powers fusion. fusion generates 3MJ of output energy. so all the articles are saying "they put 2MJ energy and got 3MJ energy back". no, they put 102MJ and got 3MJ.
I’m glad someone made this post. There was so much misinformation and uninformed discussion and misuse of terms in that thread that I was astounded.

This person seems to have done a great job of breaking everything down.
The article doesn't name them by name, but does this include stores like Cydia?
Sorry for going off. Inappropriate on my part.
3.15 Mj = 0.875 kWh

the unsolved issue with laser fusion (ICF) as an energy source is the fast
degradation of high powered lasers. High powered beam degrades optics on it's path and those things are expensive. ITER has similar problem with superconducting magnets.
Yes, fusion. I 1000% blame mobile autocorrect.

As far as I know the biggest diffeence between Erlang’s GC and other GC algorithms is that the former only has to work on a small local heap.

This also works to a degree in Java with thread local allocation buffers. Objects get allocated on a thread local basis and only move to a shared heap generation when they lived for long enough, or are being shared to another thread.

grep regex /var/log/logfile -05 #To view the 5 lines before *and* after the match

Tend to but not always.

Individuals are rarely going to fall in line and Taibi is no exception.

> This is a pretty gaslighty comment.

The narrative is that he's moved right somehow. I just want to know how. I'm sure if you asked him he'd say that the "left" has moved right and his opinion, that the left used to support, hasn't changed. If someone's going to say he's "moved right", I assume they have some reason to say that so I just want to know how, because I'm not sure if I see it (but I'm not intimately familiar with his positions).

I don't believe Taibi has changed much at all, I think the a segment of the people who consider themselves "left" in the US have taken positions on some topics that he disagrees with and since he's being critical of them, he must be the opposite of them. Since they view themselves as "left", he must be "right" (and even worse, "far-right"!).

He's not "moved right" because he's suddenly agreeing with Republicans, he's "moved right" because he's being critical of the "left".
