saboot

This is the definition of Orwellian, what a bizarre way to defend this.

It's pretty clear Elon wants everyone that has insulted or crossed him or otherwise proven him wrong to suffer some consequence to alleviate his bruised ego. Fauci, ElonJet, and more

Think I'm wrong? Let's see if he'll go after Jack Dorsey in the future for recently correcting him on going after CSAM.

If it was already decided to be funded, yes it would have been under DoE. Though I believe the weapons aspect had a very major contribution in deciding for it to be funded at all. It was proposed shortly after the nuclear testing ban and has been a big part in fulfilling that area.

I'm not trying to correct you, but adding context for the weapons aspect.

It's an explicit goal of the NIF to better understand the physics of fusion for weapons research. Not the main one but it's pretty important!

The appropriate analogy for this technology would be that it may be possible to initiate a thermonuclear weapon without relying on fission at all. Currently we use a fission nuclear bomb just to generate the temperature and pressure needed to start the fusion reaction, same as the one on today's announcement.

So far it hasn't proven to be viable, but time will tell.

Your first sentence is a whataboutism, that ends in criticizing the left about whataboutism.

Even if this specific case existed pre-Musk, it's been clear through his actions that free speech was just a ruse to distract from his censoring of critical opinions of himself.

For urinating, Larry David beat you to it with his innovative 'Pee Cube' design.

Id like to know why specifically the officers changed their mind the third time.

I can easily take a guess for the reason though.

Yeah, no. The jan 6 people are in jail for a lot more than just protesting.

This does look very interesting, thank you!

Well yes, but if I had reflection I could make a general 'serializer' routine that has backends for multiple formats (JSON, HDF5, CDF, ROOT, etc).

Interesting, sounds similar to the dictionary that CERN ROOT generates. Id like to be able to do the same, and a generic "dictionary maker" by what you've described could be useful for allowing multiple formats

Still hoping for compile time introspection/reflection for class serialization. Whichever language implements it first (C++ or other) I'm all in on. I come from a scientific background, where running code on data gathering machines, and writing it out, then reading it back in later for analysis is 90% of what I do.

You are welcome, I only learned of it a few weeks ago and it solves a lot of problems. It's still relatively new, so while jupyter notebooks / lab support, using it inside other editors with runnable code blocks is still a work in progress. VS Code looks to have an extension for previewing the markdown, but I dont think it can run python code blocks in it (for now).

I agree with you, RStudio's R Markdown feature was my favorite part about it, easily wrote my assignments for a statistics class with it.

For more about MyST check out the talk I recently was introduced to it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-UCO1F09M4

For scientific notes I'm really liking Jupyter notebooks using the MyST save option. All the pluses of Jupyter as a simple text markdown format, I can commit, diff, easily switch to another editor if I like

I hope so, it was useful then, useful now!

Can you link to what you are reading? I am a nuclear engineer, I suspect they are using a very loose definition of critical, one that would imply the entire universe itself is critical.

It's not en entire benefit, that six years could have been spent making a salary, saving up retirement, starting a family, etc. It's pretty disheartening watching your peers while in graduate school

We're more polarized now compared to when mastodon, and twitter, were first introduced. I'm convinced making a twitter clone is going to be impossible as most people are seeking to sort themselves into ideological buckets at the outset.

Uproot really kept CERN ROOT from falling into obscurity.

I'm now wondering if a torus shaped space object is even possible ..

The issue is that Russia, China, and North Korea would all agree. Except they would say "Let the US go first".

The pope may not have been, but several german priests such as Herman Muckermann certainly gave german Catholics a way to support eugenics and race theories.

As I previously mentioned in the other reply, the specific reason with this technology is the complete circumvention of all export control laws

For 3D printing of high strength materials specifically, it easily allows a way to bypass all existing export control laws

This is great, but we should be aware there are real and dangerous consequences as this technology advances.

Hello fellow nuclear engineer, MCNP is also my main workhorse. Very much looking forward to the 6.3 release!

As a cool bit of additional history, check out the FERMIAC. An analog Monte Carlo device for doing neutron transport in two dimensions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FERMIAC

Not too bad, I do scientific computing and choose Intel/Nvidia as their APIs for accelerated math operations are documented and supported for developers.

I've been paying attention to what Apple has been pushing with their M1/M2 chips, and I'm pretty tempted to try it out, but unless these features are documented and supported I can't feel comfortable writing programs relying on them.

Is there a comparison with other fast cpu methods of matrix multiplication?
