No. A riot just a public disturbance involving uncontrollable mobs of people. The Jan 6 mob didn't break into an airport, they broke into the Capitol building overtly seeking to perform acts of violence against the government.

Not all political demonstrations are insurrections, of course. For example, demonstrations for Palestine, or against abortions, or for better worker's rights, or for women's rights — those are not insurrections because they are advocating for a specific cause, not the overthrow of government. If an anti-Israel demonstration turned into an armed mob that entered the White House or the Capitol seeking to bring about their demands with force, then it would be an insurrection.

Intent is important when discussing the meaning of words. Carrying a knife with the intent to chop carrots is not a crime, but carrying one with the intent to chop people is.
A comparison to Zeno's paradox isn't quite apt, because fusion power can (in this metaphor) go very far beyond the wall.

I think it's better to think of it this way: are you a lay person not in the field? Then most of this work doesn't matter to you. But you should keep funding it.
But fusion doesn't produce any waste does it?
The sanctions don't have a goal. So anyone can say anything. Besides Air Transport is a small ass part of GDP. Their MIL complex is on over drive, more than compensating for whatever hits the other sectors are taking. Their GDP is growing faster that all other major Western Economies. The US & EU are not serious about winning this war, mostly because they don't have confidence in themselves that they can.
The script is a few hundred lines mostly dealing with the Discord API and Discourse scraping, written entirely by GPT4 so anyone can do it easily. If anyone wants to take the idea and run with it, all the power to them!

I don't think anymore absolutely 100% sterilization of all life on Earth is possible, we always end up talking about 99.999999% or similar.

Occam's razor? Outside of techno optimist communities made up of people whose livelihood depends on believing in it, AI has become synonymous with slop, hallucination, cheating, and offloading of human labor to shitty bots with cool tech demos but they fall apart going from cursory to sophisticated use.
No, they had the option of having a real conversation in private about what we could do to improve the overall situation.

Instead what I got was "It'd be a real shame if you're no longer around", and other equally dismissive behavior, and considering this was a situation in which a maintainer was pushing for something that would likely have led to security vulnerabilities and was being dismissive of criticism I didn't feel that was something we could let slide.

Priorities, people.
I'm happy to see lots of investment in fusion. As a fission guy, I know that plenty of challenges remain even after you get your first net energy out, such as getting it out economically. In fission, there were more than 20 years between these milestones (first chain reaction in 1942 from CP-1, first competitive power in 1965 from Oyster Creek).

As such, some skepticism in people's timelines is always warranted. I'm reminded of the voodoo fusion article. https://vixra.org/pdf/1812.0382v1.pdf
Oh no, if only it were possible to collaborate without being forced into an office! Hopefully we can invent some sort of technology for communicating asynchronously to make this possible.

Your edit is still wrong!

In context, the person was replying to someone who stated “I have read it all when it comes to RTO”. They stated they hadn’t seen a _blog post_ making _this point_ that RTO would cause more sickness. They were never addressing the claim that it does or does not. They were talking about the novelty of this argument for them.
Honestly surprised he's not bought/started a company to work on it so he can proudly proclame they've cracked it and it's coming next year on repeat.

Admitting to slacking off and leeching your paycheque... this is why the bosses want back to office.
Why would I point you to a blog post with an example when I already provided one in the post, and when the unspoken premise of the term RTO is a reference to the worldwide phenomena of people not going to the office to avoid spreading a disease.

You may not mean to, but you are coming across as intentionally obtuse. Apologies for my tone of that isn’t the case.

I've had an account with them. It looks like in March they quit giving automatic tickets monthly based on funds. Now the app looks much more like a casino, with other games and a separate yottacash balance for playing games including the lottery that use to be automatic and based on cash in the account. Withdrawing isn't possible but it still shows I have a $400 balance. Evolve bank is sending me $0.06 based on my balance because of the synapse bankruptcy. I'm just glad I moved most of the money I had in it to a different bank a few months before the issues started, I had 10k in it at one point.

It looks like the drawings are still happening and it says someone won 33k this month. That's gotta be bitter sweet. They won big but probably won't actually collect the prize considering it's not possible to withdraw. I wonder if they are going to have to pay taxes on that prize despite it not being accessible.

I work on a codebase daily that has multiple threads per app, and two event loops.

"The sqlite3.c and sqlite3.h source files are build products, and the source tree used to build those files is over 50% TCL code."

Always feels silly to have to install Tcl to compile sqlite3,

I use the --disable-tcl configuration option before compiling. After "make" I have a one-liner to statically-link the sqlite3 binary. It takes a relatively long time to link; sqlite3.c is a whopping 8.7M. I end up with a 1.7M sqlite3 binary.

I never do "make install". I do not want to install all the Tcl stuff.
In other areas of tech, companies hire electrical, mechanical, and civil engineers, and not, say, physicists.

Software engineers are analogous to the other engineers. Computer scientists are analogous to the physicists.

Or take chemicals. When the question is "how are the outer-shell electrons distributed", you hire a chemist. When the question is "how do we make the stuff in multi-ton quantities without blowing up downtown", you hire a chemical engineer.

Part of the answer to your question is that schools are producing computer scientists and not software engineers. (It's not the whole answer, but it's part of it.)
As SRE, strongly disagree. On Call is like hiring civil and structural engineers then holding them responsible when their poor bridge collapses under the weight of all the traffic.

Sometimes, yes, Devs get called out for stuff outside their control like infrastructure failing. However, at my job, we just had two devs that quit over on call and guess what, their service was one of worst offenders in "Opps, we pushed bug to production."
It'd get nowhere. The problem isn't money. One could say there's even too much money thrown at fusion research that could have better use elsewhere. There are just too many incredibly hard problems to solve.

In theory yes, in practice deliveries of domestic aircraft have stalled. The Sukhoi Superjet 100 for instance hasn't had a delivery in 2 years and I think the Tu-204 also did not get any deliveries though they expected some this year. It is however also very hard to find out what exactly is going on, because the information regarding civil aviation is quite restricted nowadays.
The fundamental thing behind SPARC is (iiuc) to do this far faster by being drastically smaller. Iter was designed a long time ago based on materials available at the time. SPARC can be much smaller with much stronger magnets.

The argument from SPARC wasn't that iter was incompetent but that being so vast and expensive requires multiple nation states cooperating which is inherently slow. Slow things being more risks as thing a change too (9 years is probably 3 governments here). Making it smaller makes it cheaper, a d cheaper means a smaller collaboration (or single company).

Technically the helium produced is the waste product, but fortunately we have tons of uses for helium.
It doesn't have reaction byproducts, if you don't count the reactor itself, which gets lots of neutrino bombardment and ends up glowing scrap metal.
Historically, you had grandparents or other extended family (which was the case when I was growing up with two working parents). But that's far less common in the US today.
this is all my opinion as a 3rd year phd candidate who is thoroughly disillusioned. in STEM science there are two types of labor: thinking of experiments to do, and actually doing experiments. doing experiments is high-skill, manual labor. you often work with dangerous materials for crazy hours (some experiments take 10 hours to just do and you have no choice but to work from start to finish) and do tasks that are physically and technically challenging. as such, the fair market wage for this labor is actually pretty high. when i was an employee at Stanford, I was making nearly 80k in salary alone and i had fantastic health, retirement, and vacation benefits. oh, and i had overtime as a union employee to boot.

higher institutions realized that they could conveniently circumvent the rightfully high cost of labor to do experiments by hiring "graduate students" who they can pay poverty wages to do the manual scientific labor in exchange for a degree. as a student i am classified as a 20 hour per week worker, 20 hour per week student, and paid 37k a year. to be honest i wouldn't mind this if i actually were allowed to work 20 hours per week but this is not the case. the expectation, is that you will work 50-60 MINIMUM. and don't even get me started on postdocs. the PhD market has become so oversaturated due to the over-training of PhDs that to be competitive you must do an additional 5-8 years of "training" as a postdoc (again at poverty wages around 45-50k) before you get the opportunity to APPLY faculty positions.

this has had some predictable but unfortunate consequences. for one, institutions no longer select for the best and brightest. their number 1 criteria for offers of admission is "ability to finish the phd" aka willingness to be subject to these labor conditions for 4-7 years. of course you do need a minimum level of intellectual ability to get there, but trust me when i say this, the bar is low. and academia has suffered because of it imo. prestigious institutions get by as you mentioned by having their pick of the smartest AND hard working.
I think it would be more accurate to say that, if AI wasn't constrained by the limits to production of compute, then everyone else would have an "energy costs too much" problem.

Foreigners are not allowed to sell on the Russian stock market from the Russian side [0] and they're generally not allowed to buy from the sanctions side. This means that as a foreign investor you're barred from trading in any useful meaning of the word. Buy and hold in the hopes that you might be able to maybe some day sell, whether that's in a year, ten years, or a hundred, is not really a viable strategy. That's also the reason why investment and asset management companies of all sizes are trying to find their exits from the Russian market, see for example Van Eck [1], just the latest addition in a long line of many:

The student was not punished for "using AI", but for plagiarism:

>The incident occurred in December 2023 when RNH was a junior. The school determined that RNH and another student "had cheated on an AP US History project by attempting to pass off, as their own work, material that they had taken from a generative artificial intelligence ('AI') application," Levenson wrote. "Although students were permitted to use AI to brainstorm topics and identify sources, in this instance the students had indiscriminately copied and pasted text from the AI application, including citations to nonexistent books (i.e., AI hallucinations)."
Don't most people take into account requirements to commute when negotiating salary before taking a job? It should already be baked into pay.

I get some people were hired without any understanding of that during/after the pandemic and sometimes offices move, but that seems like when to renegotiate.
They did the same with human-produced art.
Almost zero downside. I knew a student who plagiarized 3x so they got kicked out. His parents sued. It was even on the tv news because they were asking for hundreds of thousands in compensation. He lost and the school kept him expelled.

I was expecting the bad press coverage to hurt his college chances since there were several articles online about him getting kicked out for cheating and then suing.

Nope! Dude got into a really good school. He even ended up texting asking me for past essays I wrote to turn in as his own to his college classes.

And the kicker was he then transferred to one of the prestigious military academies that supposedly upholds honor and integrity.

So. There is almost zero downside for suing even if it gets you tons of negative publicity.
> won't be alive to see the full dream of infinite cheap energy come true.

You won't. Sorry for being cynical, but the true cost of energy is the capital invested in the equipment to harvest it. A fusion reactor would be at the minimum, as expensive as a fission one, which means all that capital will have to be amortised over the years. This doesn't even take into account the cost of extracting deuterium from sea water or producing helium 3 and tritium from lithium. Fusion doesn't even solve the problem of nuclear waste, since it will create radioactive isotopes by bombarding components of the reactor with neutrons.

You want cheaper, cleaner energy ? Solar and wind with battery storage is the best option, and it's already here, no need need to wait for fusion magic that may or may not happen in our lifetimes.
Savings accounts are a lucrative and relatively sticky offering. Many higher-rate savings accounts offer two (or more) tiers of interest, with higher rates applying to months where the customer does not withdraw or otherwise move money out of the account.[ß] The incentives mean that the customer is encouraged to deposit money INTO the savings account, but not take it out. If you don't have a full banking license, all that money is float - and you can invest it accordingly. Your net is the spread.

If you do have a full banking license, you can then use some of that sticky float for loans and earn a bigger spread. From what I have learned, small short-term business loans tend to be particularly lucrative, because the default rates can be impressively low. Big banks don't typically want to deal with those types of loans because the absolute ROI is simply lost in the noise and overall they do not move the needle enough to make a difference.

ß: you get access to better deals with less limitations if you have enough money to qualify for premier (or better) banking. The threshold is approximately the amount where the bank's wealth management unit becomes interested in you. I've told my bank that my absolute ceiling for any ongoing management fees is 25 bps and will manage my personal retirement funds accordingly. As a result they don't bother me, and I simply keep my fraction of investments at that bank in sufficiently low-cost instruments. I'm happy to pay my ongoing, sufficiently low management fees to them for this privilege.
I’ve been in so many meetings endlessly searching for the Best Day for on-call shifts to start/end, and feel I have heard it all at this point, every day of the week seems to have pros and cons.

Massive difference between airliners and aircraft. Russia has not shown itself capable of mass manufacturing airliners. (Or even advanced aircraft for that matter.)

That said, as a petro state, they’re fine running inefficient engines across their skies.
Nope. I just replied above with a similar story when I was in school. My classmate got expelled for cheating and sued the school. tv segment, articles about him, etc.

Zero effect on his college outcomes. Got into really good schools.
It is interesting how you ignore the implications of what has been going on.
