I agree, but if I had to choose between someone reusing passwords and someone who kept them under the keyboard I’d probably choose the latter

The worst part of the left one is the implication they have only two passwords. The “under the keyboard” part at least requires physical access and (hopefully) means its not something stupid or short like “p@ssw0rd”.

Their LLM usage policy is here ( https://github.com/fluxerapp/fluxer/blob/main/.github/LLM_USAGE_POLICY.md ) . They do not allow LLM authored code. The main dev does sometimes use it for rubber duck debugging according to an old post that I don’t have the link for. One of the other devs says they don’t use it at all.

Gammas might be able to penetrate a little bit of concrete, since concrete has lower electron density than lead

Gamma rays are stopped by things with a lot of electrons, so a sufficiently thick block of lead will stop it

EDIT: higher energy light has more penetration power (so gammas are quire penetrating), but it’s a finite value

If you’re talking about the neutron it’s because concrete has a lot of hydrogen. Alpha particles, beta particles, and light (gamma rays in this picture) interact with electrons, with the probability of being stopped increasing with electron density. Lead has a lot of electrons (its lower on the periodic table, called a “high z” element).

Neutrons, however, don’t care about electrons and instead interact with the nucleus, with the probability of being stopped depending on the spin state of the nucleus and the neutron. This doesn’t follow a specific pattern on the periodic table, but hydrogen has a big chance of interacting with the neutron while lead doesn’t. Cadmium, boron, and I think lithium 7 also would stop neutrons easily (there are more of course but those are what I remember offhand).

I’m a radiation worker, I’m required to wear a dosimeter whenever I go into parts of the building near the nuclear reactor. This dosimeter is measured 4 times a year for radiation exposure. A few years ago there was a big problem because someone’s dosimeter showed a very large dose. It was found they’d accidentally brought it home and onto a flight. So two flights (a around trip) was enough to cause a bunch of alarms at a facility that actually monitors radiation exposure.

Even if they wanted to, a lot of PhDs take longer than 4 years. My program averages 5.5 (with 4 being very rare and considered “early”) and someone I know in physics say 6 or 7 is common. Those programs are going to have a large drop in admission. I’m on my way out and will finish at 4.3 years, I’m the first one in my class to graduate

I’d rather not live in a society where theft is necessary to survive

No mention of the fact that NIST has been on a hiring freeze for about 2 years or the budget crap with Congress. Seems like crippling the government affects their ability to get things done

I’m a PhD student and several of my classmates use computing clusters in their work. These types of computers typically have a lot of CPUs, GPUs, or both. The types of simulations they do are essentially putting a bunch of atoms or molecules in a box and seeing what happens in order to get information which is impossible to obtain experimentally. Simulating beyond a few nanoseconds in a reasonable amount of time is extremely difficult and requires a lot of compute time. However, there are plenty of other uses.

The clusters we have would have dozens of these CPUs or GPUs and users would submit jobs to it which would run simultaneously. AMD CPUs have better performance than Intel and Nvidia GPUs have Cuda, which is incorporated into a lot of the software people use for these.

I’ve personally never used anything more than a desktop, though I might apply for some time soon because I’ve got some datasets where certain fits take up to two days each. I don’t want to sit around for a month waiting for these to finish

I think they’re asking about the government’s refusal to use the money for SNAP they were given in case of a shutdown. I believe it would just be sitting in a bank account somewhere.

Sorry, deleted my comment because I didn’t think anyone saw it yet. Looking closer this appears to be a consequence of them changing the names of the original oblivion. Looks like it messed with SteamDB. Checking the page for the deluxe edition shows it was always $20 (which SteamDB is wrongly interpreting as the price for the base game).

So in this case Bethesda did the appropriate thing and tried to clarify the original is the 2009 edition and I rushed to get upset at them for something they didn’t do.

Same here. Newer versions of Easy Anti-Cheat work fine, but pretty much anything else breaks. Rising Storm 2: Vietnam is an example of a game that uses EAC, but with a version too old to work with Linux

Yes, I’ve run several games native. ProtonDB will indicate if it runs natively (though some people will report using proton on natively supported games out of habit)

EDIT: some games are supported natively, but should use proton for mods. For example, Mount and Blade Warband runs just fine without proton, but if using mods it should be run with proton. This will also be indicated on ProtonDB in my experience
