I often have to hide from folks who want to interrupt me doing my work so I can do their work for them. If I turn them down I get a bad peer review and get labelled a "Jerk" (no jerks allowed!). If I help them, I don't get to

The only way that many people can justify their exceptional success is to assume they themselves are exceptional. It's a nice ego stroking way to look at the world and allows them the rights to create double standards at will.

Unless you're calculating your actuals vs expected variance you don't know if you're right or just unlucky. I've known pro poker players who were down $80k and new from their hands they were just unlucky and to keep goin

The 3rd rewrite of the same application because someone above me in the chain decided we needed to have AppX but on PlatformY , with just slightly changed requirements such that we cannot simply copy and paste it over.

Right, but why rely on LNG when Nuclear sources could provide so much more energy and geo-political stability, and promising investment in other avenues (eg Thorium based) could make it even moreso?

No thermodynamics. Like usefulness. Electricity can be uses for a lot of things. a mass heated to 50c is not, relatively, as useful. Plus low temp waste heat is abundant eg: from computing, or refrigeration, or exhaust pipes of engines.

I actually think the reason we don't have electric airplanes has to do with traction vs propulsion. Eg: spinning a jet engine to propel air backwards is very different than spinning a motor that is (through a series of solid objects) d

Ok, so here you're referring to moving a lot of energy w/o wires/transmission lines? Is that a commonly needed thing?

by maerF0x0 3y ago
I'm guessing you mean high temperature + high energy (ie lots of watts). Cause lasers can do high temp rn, right?

What are some applications where its worth taking the highest grade energy (electricity) and turning it into a lower grade (eg liquid fuels), rather than electrifying the application? Electricity to motion is significantly more efficient pe

Good for you doing a thing! Please understand the community is likely very wary of single maintainer, weekend project, high risk dependencies right now.

Two points I'd be interested in discussing. 1. It seems a lot of people are assuming Jia Tian was compromised all along. I haven't seen a reason to believe this was a long play, but rather that they were compromised along the way
