A working nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) engine was already built in the 60s under NASA's NERVA project. It is one of the highest technological readiness level solutions we have to the dilemma of high specific impulse versus high thrust present in the current spsce engine technologies. Imo we need something like this to make manned interplanetary missions viable.

Trump: Started 0 wars. Caused 0 economic crises. Bush: Started 2 wars (Iraq, Afghanistan). Caused the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression.

Insane it's controversial to expect that other countries pay for their own defense.

$25/hr (about $50k/yr) is nothing for the kind of professional/software jobs typical of H1Bs.

People getting stuck in queues and kids being put in concentration camps have nothing to do with the H1B system. You could give a H1B visa to every sponsored individual and the concentration camps would still exist because the people put in them exist entirely outisde the immigration system. You could give a US passport to every kid in a concentration camp but the Indians and Chinese would be stuck in queues even though they do everything by the book.

This guy is right that the H1B system is unfair. The fact that H1B is a lottery creates a huge amount of problem for e.g. graduates of top US universities who want to transition to work in the US. Other countries (Canada, Australia, UK) have point based systems that prioritize highly skilled immigrants over less skilled ones, which work much better than the US system. Lotteries are inherently unable to prioritize top candidates.

Use argparse instead of input

Check out Solasta: Crown of the Magister. It's another fantastic turn based 5e (SRD) RPG and it comes with a custom campaign editor https://solasta-dungeons.fandom.com/wiki/Creating_Campaigns

Hallucinated frames like DLSS3. Completely unnecessary, just like the hallucinated pixels of DLSS2/FSR2. Dialling a couple of settings down to medium looks much better.

ZFS without having to faff around with DKMS

It doesn't care about copyright or authorship, which becomes a huge problem due to content no longer having a real home in IPFS, everybody can pin, cache or share content on IPFS.

Sounds like a feature, not a shortcoming

Works really well with Flatpak Steam

Unfortunately, I think no. Nvidia sells every AI chip wafer they can get from TSMC, so if gamers won't pay the same margins as datacenter customers Nvidia will simply stop selling to them. As such, Nvidia does not need consumers/home users anymore.

As for AMD, they just decided their pricing strategy is "whatever Nvidia does, but 10% cheaper"
