That was the case for the ICF project at LLNL as the lasers used for confinement are grossly inefficient and it's a research facility but that's not the case for ITER to my understanding.

ITER won't be a power plant of course. It's a research facility first and foremost but it will produce power at a 10 to 1 ratio relative to the input which should be a net 450GW of power before you factor in the secondary equipment.

Containment and chilling will require quite a bit of energy of course but all together the energy usage for the reactor facilities should still be less than the produced power.

But yes ITER isn't designed to produce power out to the grid. It's just designed to work sustainably and any power it does produce will almost certainly just be sunk into a resistive load on site. It's a research project to build a viable nuclear power plant first and foremost.

----

Then provided ITER doesn't outright fail, the DEMO reactor will be built and that facility will be optimized for power generation and will be built to the requirements to efficiently produce energy (vs ITER which is significantly overbuilt "to produce power at Q=10 so help me god"). The DEMO project will of course actually hook up to the grid with the intent of being a sustained base load power generator.
> I didn’t suggest that anyone did. My point is that we can cure the disease by making a big effort.

We are making a big effort

> Do we want to cure the disease by 2100, 2075, 2050, or perhaps 2040? Pick a year.

That's not even remotely how research works. It's not like software engineering where the problem is known. We could find a cure tomorrow, or it might be in 2000 years time. We literally have no idea how long it would take.

Moreover, research into unrelated things might even be the breakthrough needed for understanding and "curing" dementia.
What I mean is I haven't documented the process and meanwhile I was cleaning my Downloads folder which meant I've deleted the files I've used to modify the BIOS. The link for the guide was there from the start.

They took 20 bitcoins out of me, but I never bothered to fill the paperwork. Oh, well.
I didn't have that experience, I was basically told that I should shut up and get used to working with code that doesn't functionally do anything .

Then when I complain later my manager was like, even though the code doesn't do anything it makes our metrics look better.

Imagine seeing

function1(){
ApiCall("1")
}

function2(){
ApiCall("2)
}

Over and over again.
It’s possible that the bytecode interpreter has a bug that lets one run arbitrary bytecode, even in environments where `loadstring` is disabled.

Interesting. What I hate about Vs code is that Microsoft limits all their good add-ons from running on the open source version. It's really annoying because there is no official version on my platform. Not that I'd willingly install MS spyware anyway. But the open-source version, ok.

It's typical Microsoft. Even when they pretend to do something good there's always a catch and an agenda.

On the other hand, 'Eclipse' gives me nightmares when it comes to IDEs.
If clients don't run the same code they will desync the moment their state diverges. I haven't played multiplayer factorio but I expect you can't even join a server unless you're running the same factorio version and mods as other players.
> You’re going to be renaming things, going to type definitions, finding references, etc a lot; you should be fast at this. You should know all the major shortcuts in your editor.

Programmers love to think this matters. If you're doing anything more than the most rudimentary work, the time 'saved' by maximizing keyboard shortcuts is completely irrelevant. You're spending most of your time reading code, thinking about that code and thinking of what code you're going to write.

When any programmer emphasizes how fast they are at completing these rudimentary tasks, my assumption is they are less adapt at the actual work of programming and instead try to 'git gud' at the keyboard wizard bullshit.
Msgpack is broadly fine (I shipped a parser for it a while ago, relatively few ambiguities in the spec). Json is kind of ok if you don't do numbers but schemas for it are a pain and the tooling gives me hacked together vibes.

I like being able to read and edit the data files easily in a text editor (bias against the binary formats) and for there to be a decent chance tools written by other people will interact predictably with the format (so it can't be bespoke).

I'd say the main feature is that an XML document with a schema tells you a lot about the various shapes of the file that you might need to worry about. It's essentially an extensible type system for tree shaped data.

XML has an annoying collection of spurious limitations but that's what you get with lowest common denominator / popular-cos-old systems.
That's pretty clearly not what they mean, and I'm sure you know it. You pretty clearly mean using the software as in taking the code and repurposing it or modifying it, not using the software products itself.

When I had a commercial building mortgage it was on a 30-year note that rate adjusted every 5-years. Landlord's whose mortgages are adjusting this year are going to have to increase rents to keep their cash flow in place as rates are a _lot_ higher than 5 years ago.
I'm running the keyboard right now and it has a text editor mode that gives you arrow keys, a capslock key, and clipboard keys, but I don't see a control or alt key.
The interesting takeaway I got was how badly the Lua developers failed on their bytecode veryfier. Not some complex issues, but simple ones like of by one errors when modelling basic instructions like jmp or the issue that the Lua interpreter would try to interpret anything it got its hands on as instructions, even data sections the veryfier would not touch.
I use Airpods Pro (1st before and now 2nd gen) with Android phones. And indeed no way to update firmware from Android, no way to check firmware version, no way to select modes, no way to change long press behaviour, no way to check battery level (there are third party apps but they work unreliably). Luckily all that can be done on Mac (except fitting test, which requires iPhone only), though the firmware upgrade process is as confusing as it can possibly be - a user has zero control whatsoever and zero information about status/progress.

One of the support team members in an Apple Store once suggested: you need to leave AirPods connected to the Mac inserted into open case, which is plugged and charging for about 30 minutes to upgrade the firmware. Though in my experience there is definitely a random factor in play for such an upgrade. Moreover I have an impression that even Apple Store employees sometimes have very vague idea how Apple products interplay with any other Apple product excepting the iPhone. Two times I had hardware issue with 1st and 2nd gen Airpods they were very confused that I don't use those with iPhone but with a Mac and Android only.
I greatly offended my mother's psychiatrist once with a similar thought. He was using my mother's suicidality as proof that she needed inpatient treatment.

I told him - "She suffers from migraines, and for 3 out of 4 weeks in an average month she must spend the entire day immobile in a dark room. There are no treatments in the near term which are expected to improve her outlook. The pain is debilitating. Doctor, who is "insane" - the person who wants a way out of the constant agony, or the person who says "More, please!""

I believe that the right to life as enshrined in the Constitution (and endowed by my Creator) must, inherently, also include the right to end that life, if a man (or woman) so chooses.
Yeah, but giving too much deference to agencies is also a recipe for peoples' rights to be trampled by a regulatory agency acting unlawfully. Acting in accordance with their policy goals is fine and all, but they still have to do so within the bounds of the law and if they're losing at the District level because they can't rely on Chevron deference anymore, I mean, that's completely fine. Go back to Congress.

Despite its reputation for not passing any laws, the last session of Congress still passed a fair number of laws: https://legiscan.com/US/legislation/2021?status=passed

(The current one seems to be a fair bit behind, but it is also operating on razor thin vote margins and the session is not over yet).
One interesting semi related news item, there's a submission for 6.11 kernel to turn Spectre branch-history-injection mitigation on only for VMs, leaving it off for the host. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Spectre-BHI-VMEXIT

I'm low key excited to see some new security postures evolve, beyond the fairly maximalist stance we've been running with. If there's no one else on the host - like if everyone's isolated to vm's - maybe don't keep all the costly mitigations going on it!
> The article says they estimate 33M people in US to have food allergies which sounds insane to me.

33 million is only about 10% of the population, and the phrasing in the article makes me suspect that there may be some disingenuous motte-and-bailey argumentation going on here -- the definition of "food allergies" applicable to the 10% claim might be vastly more expansive than the one applicable to "life-threatening allergic reactions".

Unfortunately, since the article doesn't reference any independent fact-checking for these claims, and just quotes not-necessarily-disinterested sources verbatim, it's hard to validate any of it. All in all, it's very poor-quality journalism.

Sharpe ratio is fairly useful in roughly apples to apples comparisons, e.g. investment opportunities, and basically useless when it’s applied to broadly to human endeavours. Mostly because people are a) not economically rational in any pure sense and b) not primarily motivated by financial factors.

I drove the adoption of Bazel for my C++ project, which certainly does not have an entire team (nor even an entire person) dedicated to maintaining the build system.

We’re having incredible build performance with it, and I find its language much more readable than CMake or Make. We’re also using Bazel for things like packaging.

I would encourage you to give it another go.
You can analyze the philosopher and their work. Socrates' system of thought can be understood without knowing he fought in the Peloponnesian War, that he was beloved, and that his wife was a shrew. But his philosophy makes even more sense when you know those personal details because context matters. For instance David Hume was an empiricist but accounts of his life make little to no sense. Besides motivations, personal details usually illustrate the limitations to a philosophy. That being said I don't think of Foucault as a philosopher, I think of him as a rhetorician and charlatan.
I think this is a valuable post for those people here that love Z-library and think they should have access to these sorts of books for free.

They didn't just mention it. The explained that it means that they (the courts) interpret the law. That they decided Raimondo on statutory grounds (specifically the Administrative Procedures Act) doesn't mean that they wouldn't have decided it on constitutional grounds if statutory grounds weren't available. Basically they've left the door open for Congress to fine-tune things a bit, but if they try to enshrine Chevron in law then it's pretty clear that the majority on the court already doesn't think much of it.

Calling out stats like this makes me suspicious about the quality of the statistical analysis:

>> A majority of 54 percent of small business owners surveyed by Alignable said that their landlords were charging them more now than six months ago

Doesn’t rent, even at the best (worst?) of times, basically always rise every year, at least matching inflation? Half of businesses experiencing a rent rise in half a year would be normal.
That depends on what you mean by "the landlord problem." Are you alluding to ending private property ownership (communism) or something else?
Chomsky said "he struck me as completely amoral, I'd never met anyone who was so totally amoral". Chomsky doesn't consider post-structuralism, and by extension Foucault system of thought, to be a philosophy. Foucault is a rhetorician.
Absolutely. The problem with trying too hard to be a great craftsman is that you become emotionally invested. Most of your peers will not have this and will not understand it.

Someone else mentioned becoming a 10x developer and yet being surpassed in your career. That is absolutely very real.
Well, first, not everyone is a Millian utilitiarian who evaluates ethics in relation only to abstract aggregations of people. I'm all for helping actual, real-life individuals to have greater means to provide for their safety, but less inclined toward programs aimed to optimize statistical metrics applicable to a vast aggregation of mostly unrelated people without accounting for variation in interests, values, and choices among the actual individuals they aggregate.

Secondly, how do you know a measure like this even does provide for a "safer population" in that aggregated sense? What if it successfully prevents a few extreme allergic reactions on the part of the small handful of people that both have severe allergies and refuse to take responsibility for exercising care in their own consumption choices, but does so at the cost of making food overall less available and more expensive, such that a far greater number of people, especially the poor and marginal, begin to experience malnutrition?

There is a ton more in here than one might at first guess. I happened to scan through it a couple years back, and was shocked to find out power sources (chargers, batteries) and sinks could be reporting all kinds of power telemetry like capacity, current charge, amperage, voltages... Tons of things. There's all kinds of sensors & systems!

I'd always thought of HID as keyboard + mouse, but it's actually quite a broadscale system. It just so happens we - for the most part - never used 98% of it. (Then had to reinvent a bunch of the power reporting stuff for usb-pd.)

The disappointing thing that no one talks about is that all of the vaccines target the spike, which is the part of the virus that evolves most quickly (the spike is also an immunotoxin). Alternatively, vaccines could have targeted the nucleocapsid protein. This would have had the dual benefit of not being as immunogenic/immunotoxin and also likely being a one and done shot with long term effective immunity. Why do you think the folks at Big pharma decided to choose a vaccine against the spike protein? Can anyone say "recurring revenue?"

I like to distinguish investing from speculating. Investing is putting money into a business which actually makes money. Speculating is buying something because you think the price will go up.
Which is completely missing the point. To hotbox a room you need a bunch of the big cylinders. Look at the tare weights on page 3:

The have a volume in cubic feet specified, multiply by the 165 bar that's what's typically used to see how much space it will fill. Looking around our house there's a very odd-shaped closet under the stairs that would be difficult to measure. Of the more typical places the smallest room in the house is a closet. 6' x 5' (minus a 1' x 1' chunk that I believe contains an air duct) x 8' = 232 cubic feet. Suppose you dump 232 cubic feet of material into it--you'll displace half the air which gives a time of useful consciousness of 20-30 minutes. Not good enough. Let's try doubling that, now we end up with a time of useful consciousness of 30-60 seconds. That's probably enough. That's 2 cylinders at 137 pounds each. Or if you use aluminum, 3 cylinders of 90 pounds each.
Yes, the delay and deflect mentality is in full swing in CRE and in the other bubbles as well. CRE has been a zombie since 2008.
> If a client runs a Lua script, why can’t we just run it on their machine and propagate any game state changes (if the script adds an inserted, for example,) as if the player made those changes themselves?

The game already has to run Lua scripts as part of the simulation, potentially as part of in-game events which aren't directly triggered by players. A player running a script from the console is handled by that same interpreter -- making it run in a completely different operating mode where any changes to game state are replicated would be much more complicated and prone to error.

Or, from the other direction: the game's multiplayer model is all based around a replicated simulation where player inputs are fed into the simulation. Treating a player running a script as a special kind of event involving the text of that script is the simplest and most obviously correct way to implement that.

There’s always a performance/cost target you’re trying to hit. Sometimes it’s not about performance at all costs and it’s ok to sacrifice some optimality to get a much cheaper solution.

So while the mirrors are independently adjusted, the there’s a single motor robot on a rail that comes by and custom adjusts each mirror instead of having the mirrors self adjust locally at all times.
Marginal land value taxes, with even higher taxes the longer the space stays empty.

Wonder if enough young/working people will ever wake up to realize earned income tax is penalizing them for working, and flat (and extremely low) land value taxes with myriad loopholes like 1031 exchange, senior discounts, and faux exemptions for things like agriculture are basically a feudal system to maintain the socioeconomic order.
Constant factor so large it's going to be slower than existing (asymptotically worse) algorithms on any practical inputs.

> Frontier has 38k MI250

I know - my group has several 100k hour allocations on frontier (had - I graduated in April). The difference between frontier and aurora and wherever buying GPUs and FAANG buying them is the labs don't refresh every 2 years. That's why I don't consider them "large customers". They're not even fullride customers - you can be sure frontier got a very nice deal, much nicer than FAANG would, because of the top500 prestige.
