I do enjoy how mindless some of the fusion advocacy is.

Why do you think a result like this would make anyone less skeptical of fusion? Ability to run a device for this long is not the obstacle to success for nuclear fusion. This is just another vastly overhyped "breakthrough", which we seem to have every week.

I've followed fusion for probably longer than you've been alive, and there are fundamental showstoppers for the common approaches, particularly tokamaks and stellarators. Fusion may have a chance with unconventional approaches, like Helion's, but the consensus approach looks like an exercise in groupthink that won't lead anywhere.
Usually non-async frameworks spawn some kind of thread so that it never blocks or crashes the main process regardless of what happens to the threads.

I know Go frameworks are usually like that. They spawn green threads and you can write HTTP handlers using simpler sync code to handle requests without worry.
There will always be "real thinking" roles in software but the sheer pressure on salaries from the vastly increasing free labour pool will lead to an outcome a bit like embedded software development, where rates don't really match the skill level. I think the most obvious strategy for the time being is figuring out how to become a buyer of the services you understand rather than a badly crowded out seller

That’s exactly what this is, actually. These aren’t the AWS docs. The linked site is the AWS support forums in which AWS employees, AWS support and/or other known contributors from the AWS community will give you personalized responses to questions you have.

Some of these questions are more generic, and so aren’t personalized, but they’re still the result of a question-and-answer on the forum.
If someone doesn't yet feel substantially empowered by AI, then they just don't know how to use it very well, and also lack the imagination to do so. It's a lot more than just asking ChatGPT.

AI is not a substitute for personal effort; it's a tool for going where one struggles to go alone.

For work to not feel like work, one has to be super passionate about the goal that one is working toward, and this is never possible at a job. Most people have forgotten what it means to have a personal passion, some of which can also manifest a commercial angle.

To make a long comment short, AI is the missing glue in ikigai that brings everything together.
If I had millions to buy the Radio Shack IP, my hail mary play would have been to convert Radio Shacks to mini maker spaces. Stock "jellybean" components and entry level tools, and then put in work benches with various tools available for learning and "one off" needs. Take a page out of Walmart's playbook and hire a bunch of retired EE's and developers that just want something to do, and take a page out of Apple's playbook and sell a "once a week come chat with an expert one on one" membership. Pair one-on-one members with your retired EEs and market the hell out of it to highschool kids and hobbyists.

The goal is to get people in the store and building together. Of course no one is going to drive to the store and spend $30 on an aux cable when Amazon will ship it to you tomorrow. But they might just spend $20 on a pack of resistors and a USB breakout board while they're already at the shop using the oscilloscope to probe out a signal on their in flight project and ordering from amazon means stopping progress for the day.

I'd probably also aim to have on-prem competitions, think ant-weight battle bots stuff, micro-mouse or even pinewood derby stuff.

Heck you could probably even lure in some additional markup sales on components by having a "grab-bag" bench, in which you can't bring your own stuff, but you only pay for what you take out. Want to build a battle bot but don't know in advance what pieces you will or won't need? Build it on the grab-bag bench and we'll total up your costs after the fact. Sure you probably could get everything cheaper if you ordered it all online, but how convenient to just have a massive wall of parts already and only get the things you need and not need to store the rest of the 500 resistor pack you had to order to get the 20 you needed.

It might not have worked, the whole thing still might have ended in liquidation, but it feels like it would have had a better chance than batteries and cell phones.
Amazon is at Day 100 already
> I like the idea of the passively-safe, waste-reducing LFTR but it's still a materials science issue at this point, and there's no real solution in sight.

Seems ironic that in a thread about fusion with loads of difficult technical challenges that will still require decades of research after 60 years of investment and research have already been poured into it, a minor issue of slight corrosion in LFTR requiring maybe a few years of research is seen as an insurmountable obstacle with "no real solution in sight".

No, it comes from foolishly thinking that the cost of fuel will dominate cost of energy. That doesn't require fusion of protons; deuterium and lithium are cheap.
I recently had an experience that genuinely surprised me: I was watching a Peruvian video on YouTube, and I clicked on the creator's Instagram profile link in the description. Literally a few minutes later I received a promotional email with services and investment opportunities from an official Peruvian government email. Somehow opening an Instagram profile of a Peruvian creator got me tagged as a potential investor? But the most shocking part was how quickly this all happened.

I moved from pihole to Technitium a few months back because I wanted more DNS features than just adding A and CNAME records.

Depends on the "side project'.

Due to the age of AI, I ask it to *everyone*. It is enough to filter in those who would go the extra mile to build high quality and widely used software dependent on by others versus those who just call it a day.

Obviously, I would be interested if it is the following:

* It should not be a hello world project.

* The project solves a problem that is relevant or similar to the job description.

* The company happens to use a critical piece of software that the person is maintaining or has contributed to.

* It makes money.

It's very simple, but the goal is to give an easy reason to the interviewer as to why you are "exceptional" against the competition. We are also in the age where there is rampant title inflation. "Juniors" posing as "Seniors" and vice versa. So weeding them out with extra projects, etc is exactly what I would do.

"Seniority" and work history is just not good enough against 100s of "seniors" or "juniors" in the candidate pipeline.
Frankly getting used to doing this may help our communication with other engineers as well.
Yes, the used EV market is still young. The oldest Model Ys are from 2020, and Model 3s go back to 2017. Consumers do not have much experience with used EVs, so they are cautious and prices are low. As time goes by, if older EVs prove to be reliable, used prices will go up. There is already evidence that battery replacement is rare:

Given the asteroid's relatively small size and how well watched it is by this point, i'd worry little even if its known odds of collision turned out to be nearly 100%.

One the one hand, the lead-up to arrival would offer a wonderful opportunity for testing asteroid deflection technologies live and in the flesh, and on the other hand, if these failed or weren't tried, we'd have a wonderful opportunity for examining an asteroid impact in real life, up close.

With an expected blast power of roughly 8 megatons and with all the surveillance around it, it wouldn't even be enormously difficult to prepare the impact site so that no lives are lost. This last step in the worst case of an actual unstoppable impact might not even be necessary, since most of the Earth is devoid of humans and could handle this without a hiccup..

He doesn't specifically mention exercising IIRC. Although I found that lifting is another tool I can use to distract myself from the pain.

He does encourage patients to stop any and all forms of physical therapy. I had already stopped PT by the time I read his first book. But I do remember thinking that the PT was making it worse.

All of the stretching and specific exercises were only causing me to focus on the pain even more which lead to even more pain.
Bold of them to enforce copyright when they're using Valve's IP for some of the 3D models.
For what it’s worth, the linked article is not the official AWS documentation, and the official AWS documentation has never been paywalled as far as I know.

The linked article is from “AWS re:Post” which is the equivalent of a support forum where you can ask questions and get crowdsourced answers from AWS employees, support, or other AWS users. IME it’s not uncommon for such support forums for enterprise software to be behind some sort of paywall (or at least login-wall).

The real problem IMO is that some of these support forum answers have become so popular and important that they really should be part of the official documentation rather than existing solely on the crowdsourced platform.
I've been dealing with chronic pain as well but with my pelvic floor/pudendal nerve. It started in May last year when I was sitting at work when I suddenly felt a strong tingling sensation to go to the bathroom and since then it has developed into a whole array of different symptoms. One of them being leg numbness which affects mostly my left leg. I went to a PT and she told me it could be from sitting too long as well as a lack of exercise and being sedentary. Some symptoms have improved with stretching but I am afraid of going to the gym because doing leg exercises and sometimes spending too much time on the treadmill can cause big flare ups for me. My sleep has also been affected and I wake up even if I do not feel any pain or discomfort.

I am taking more standing breaks now, and I use the gym at my office during lunch time to get some steps in on the treadmill, I also stretch everyday and I feel like it has been helping me heal but it is frustrating that I am not 100% recovered yet.

> There's a huge gap in how easy it is to upgrade some stacks vs. others.

This I can agree with.

> Updating dependencies in a language with strong, static types and/or an expressive type system is incredibly easy

Java would typically be regarded a pretty close to .NET in regards to its type system, yet I've seen plenty of issues with updating dependencies, whenever you have any sort of dynamic class loading or reflection going on: be it Lombok or MapStruct not liking a specific version of Java, or Spring Boot or one of its many integrations throwing errors during startup after a successful compile, sometimes even disliking specific annotations that worked previously.

A decent type system will help you make sure that the code compiles, sure (and I'm thankful for that), but with some styles of writing code and handling, for example, dependency injection, all bets are off. The same goes for any dependencies that make liberal use of those features. I'd have to dig around for specific examples, but I know for a fact that there are plenty of projects that are stuck on old versions of Spring for that very reason.

Or the fact that there are plenty of pre-.NET Core projects out there that won't be upgraded to anything new anytime soon for similar reasons.

In my experience, updates suck across the board, the only variable is how much. And that applies to everything not just dependencies in code (and runtimes): I've also had seemingly innocuous Debian updates break GRUB and prevent the OS from booting, or even upgrades making exim4 start up for some reason and taking up the port that my mail server needed, preventing it from starting.
People are quite happy to smoke and operate combustion engines in public spaces which literally gives everyone around you cancer. Having someone record you is very low on the disdain scale.
Really is not that much data involved (not counting downloading the game itself). Streaming multi-player game data to/from an individual player can range from like 10kbps to 100kbps depending on the game and scale involved. Remember you are only sending the deltas (and occasional entire refreshes).
Yiikes, on my B550M DS3H, previously when I woke my PC from sleep immediately after it slept (eg. by pressing the keyboard or case power button), it would "wake" after 0.5 seconds asleep and turn on the power light but not respond to user input, and not even shut down if I held the power button for 4 seconds! I had to pull power at the wall. This behavior occurred on both Windows and Linux, and was fixed at some point in a BIOS update.
So Deepkseek is not sharing more data than most advertising-funded apps in the world?
20 years ago I would have agreed with you. However today we have proof that wind and solar work, are cheap, and are useful. The world doesn't need fusion or fission, other technology is plenty good.

Unless you can do a science fiction thing of turning off the sun, and harvesting the hydrogen in it to power local reactors in earth orbit to provide the energy (light) we need without letting the vast majority escape our solar system unused. Otherwise that big fusion reactor in the sky provides all the energy we need.

> we can make tritium from lithium using the neutrons from fusion

Each fusion reaction consumes one tritium atom and produces one neutron. If that neutron hits a lithium atom, it can split that and produce a tritium atom. If everything goes perfectly and there are no losses, then you get a 100% replacement of all the tritium that you consume. If you have a 90% replacement ratio (highly optimistic), you essentially lower the cost of your tritium fuel by a factor of 10, so from $30000 per gram to $3000 per gram, or $3 MM per kilogram.

> We also get tritium from fission plants

Yes we do. Mainly from Candu reactors. There are 49 Candu and Candu-like reactors in the world, and each produces less than 1kg of tritium per year. According to [1] a 1 GW fusion power plant would consume about 55 kg of tritium per year. So you'd need to run more than 50 fission power plants to operate one fusion power plant. Most people who dream of fusion think that fission will become irrelevant, not that you'll need 50 fission power plants for each fusion power plant.

> his motivations seem consistently petty and strange or just downright ludicrous. He's like an alien to me.

I think it could help to try to think of a historical figure that has done impressive things but which you don't have an overly negative view of. A lot of them seem really weird or alien. In democracies, political leaders are (sometimes!) more "normal" because they have to get elected. So think of a CEO/Founder you like (Jobs?) or earlier people (Napoleon? I dunno, pick yours)

Read a bio on them, they're pretty strange (I like Churchill, dude was wild).
It seems that to do extraordinary things you need some traits that make you ludicrous. I don't really know, but it's definitely a pattern
And that's before you have to try and actually write for grant funding, perform any actual substantial research (that took more than 1.5 days), serve as an editor or reviewer to do any of that "peer reviewed" part, go to a conference on your subject, deal with students, teach, or really anything else with academia.

Writing for grant funding alone has already been a big complaint about how long and difficult it can be with limited success rates in a lot of fields. Time constraints of being a reviewer and how much of your own academic time you have to give up has been a major complaint. They're all time consuming. And then a paper / 1.5 days.

Really, from having been in academia for a little while, putting out something well thought out once a month seems rather fast.

Edit: It would interesting as follow-on research to look at the specifics of suspicious cases. What kinds of methods are being used to "game the system." What kinds of exploits are being employed? Are there common patterns among the suspicious crowd?

Why publish 1x when you can publish the same 10x? Copy and paste data from other people's work? "Lorem ipsum" papers that nobody reads? Extensive citation circles where they all cite each other 50x? Graphs / tables that just look like gibberish data? Very obvious LLM use that has many of the common hallmarks and speaking patterns?
Show HN: A platform for LLMs to API call humans
A simple API that lets AI agents delegate tasks to human operators. When an LLM needs to perform an action it can't do directly, it makes an API call to request human assistance.
