Catching up, regarding the poverty line, I spend over 23k on housing and I'm in the Midwest in a rural area. What gets me is that all these "experts" never update their formulas even though everything is constantly changing around them. Why do you think that is? View quoted note →

There might also be a lack of staffing angle on all this flock stuff. Police officers are in high demand, at least here in the midwest. Many people don't want to be police officers anymore because the media blasts them for anything they do. Now this might be just in my area but the small rural towns have been becoming increasingly bigger targets for crime by the big city gangs because they can get away with it and then disappear being way outside the jurisdiction of the rural towns View quoted note →

No video for me. I prefer audio because it allows me to think critically about what is being said. Video requires more sensory input which takes note brain power. Plus I listen in during the commute the most anyway so video is not feasible anyway View quoted note →

Regarding multikernels Maybe you have a specifically optimized for gaming kernel run on a few cores so that all the gaming tasks have better performance. Wait, if there's a different kernel running on each core does that mean that things like kernel anticheat won't be able to see other tasks running elsewhere? So do you negate the privacy implications of kernel level anti cheats that way? Hmmmm https://fountain.fm/episode/9gbeU3iOXO0ydFdKsq6R View quoted note →

re: fusion power I'm not an expert, just someone who has been interested in nuclear physics and done some research, so if there's anyone out there in the audience who knows more, please correct me We're actually getting there. ITER is planned to be operational as the first power grid scale fusion power plant in France by 2037, japan has had a working fusion generating station since 2023 called JT-60. So for Helion to be making a much smaller scale fusion generator compared those those projects, I believe it. Smaller and more efficient stations might be the way to go for the future. Would make the power grid more resilient since if there are many smaller systems adding power to the grid, the chance of a chain blackout is less. Also fusion has minimal waste compared to fission. The fuel is deuterium which is Hydrogen with 1 proton and 1 neutron smashed into Tritium which is Hydrogen with 1 proton and 2 neutrons. The most waste producing part is creating the tritium since that involves lithium mining View quoted note →

If I were Linus, I would change the version of the kernel to 7.0 and all subsequent kernels would be 7.X forever. Why? Because why not, I'm Linus. In all seriousness, I do not know enough to make a good decision regarding the direction the kernel should take or what adjustments to make. That is why I'm not Linus... View quoted note →

If family computer counts, the first computer I remember using and learning was a dell dimension 5000. Keep in mind I'm only only 10ish years older than your oldest... Sorry to make you feel old lol The first computer that was actually mine was a custom built machine centered around an A10-7890K because I was too poor for a dedicated video card at the time. This was during high school so what money I did get from the job I had was saved up and I later bought a 1050ti. View quoted note →

A few weeks ago I mentioned I might get a prusa core one. Well I have. It should ship this month hopefully. Now I've began going down the rabbit hole of filaments. Alex what do you primarily print with? Any good brands, places to get it, things to look out for? Any tips or "I wish I knew this before" advice? I'm a total newb so any and all help is appreciated https://fountain.fm/show/LxGQPEpBqTDLxF4d6qC5 View quoted note →
