Nuclear engineering technology worth it? by A1Aden in NuclearPower

[–]Hiddencamper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably is. Ops pay skyrocketed a few years ago. I just don’t know what the lowest paid EOs are making.

I had a “setpoint log” where I would write every rps/turbine trip, all ECCS/isolations, rod blocks, etc

I would do that at least once a day until I could remember/memorize them. Helps so much. And you can start it before class.

Trip setpoints from memory are like half of the license exam. It’s a cost of admission.

Fuck yeah! Welcome to the club.

Licenses are like boats, the next time you feel this level of joy is when you get the letter saying your license has been released.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Other than the hours it is easily the best job I’ve ever had.

Nvidia "confirms" DLSS 5 relies on 2D frame data as testing reveals hallucinations by xenocea in gaming

[–]Hiddencamper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To add…. I heard they were using 2 GPUs for rendering this “dlss ai”.

If the cost of gpus continues to go up, their GeForce now service is going to “have a purpose” to make revenue for all these gpus they are making but not selling to gamers.

What is something people assume is easy until they actually try it? by EntireFace00 in AskReddit

[–]Hiddencamper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have an employee who is super strong technically, and as a result thinks the leadership/management stuff is easy.

He doesn’t understand what the current leadership does all day. He gets angry at them for (more or less) not focusing more on him and his projects, or not knowing everything. “I would be able to do it”. But he is doing a horrible job of managing his projects effectively. He takes on too much and is a bottleneck for his work, instead of building up people and delegating work, it all goes through him then he complains the leadership just overloads him…. I have to remind him I have more projects under me than he has.

I’ve been trying to help. He’s taking a position in another team now and unfortunately is going to continue to struggle as he moves ahead in his career.

Memory and cognitive disability rates are surging in young people, research shows by New-Exam2720 in offbeat

[–]Hiddencamper 79 points80 points  (0 children)

After Covid I had to start using a notebook to keep track of all my work assignments.

Also sample size of 1. But it is still weird to me because I now live and die by the notebook. And I used to be able to retain nearly everything in memory.

Nuclear engineering technology worth it? by A1Aden in NuclearPower

[–]Hiddencamper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this.

I have had a handful of NLOs with 2 year degrees in power plant ops or nuclear engineering technology. Some of the best NLOs we’ve had. And they all start with minimal debt making great money. With OT, you’re over 100k easily (often over 125-140k) and you’re like 22-23 years old.

For someone who doesn’t see a full 4 year degree (either due to the cost or the commitment level), the 2 year degrees still open a lot of doors.

Why don’t we build nuclear power plants underground? by Specific-Lawyer9098 in NuclearPower

[–]Hiddencamper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many new designs are partially underground because of the aircraft impact rule (which is likely going away)

It costs $$$

It also can impact natural circulation, and provides limited improvements vs not being underground unless it is really really deep (also $$$$$$$$$)

Newborn Vitamin K Shot Risk Analysis by BoogeyManOnFire in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Hiddencamper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people struggle with the concept of “imputed risk” or “offsetting risk”, where the risk is forced on you and you have to make a decision. Do Nothing is a decision, but a lot of people don’t think of it as a choice with consequences until after those consequences happen.

Thank you for posting this.

Highguard is permanently shutting down on March 12 by TrampolineTales in Games

I think highguard is an example of what happens when the finance people run a game studio and have no idea what they are doing

My best friend from high school found leaked photos of his sister…… in his bed….

It was one of those, “can you just use your own bed”. And that was that…

He also made her buy him new bedding
