☄️ jskherman<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/EngineerChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EngineerChallenge</a> Day 002 :calculator:Today was a little bit better than yesterday as the afternoon was not blindingly bright nor hot & humid. The rain that came in the morning plus the cloudy weather helped to alleviate some of the annoyances I had yesterday.I continued reading Bettelheim's Chapter 3 <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/NuclearChemistry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NuclearChemistry</a> and was fascinated about the various \(\alpha, \ \beta,\) and \(\gamma\) radiation. I almost went into a <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wikipedia</a> rabbit hole of particle-beam weapons and research into grasers (\(\gamma\)-ray lasers).On a tangent, I noticed that while reading the first few chapters of Bettelheim, these chapters are more of an introduction that I already know. To be blunt, it's incredibly boring since I've come across these concepts a lot of times now and feel like I'm "overlearning". After reading, when I look at the end-of-chapter (EOC) problems, it makes me not want to do them given the difficulty (and not a lot of equation solving there which I mostly need).Maybe I could try a different approach of reading a few chapters first for the understanding, skipping the EOC problems, and then returning back after a while to answer them in a batch to minimize context switching, do interleaving, and actually have a better grasp at the big picture view. This might only apply to the easy or concept-heavy subjects in Day 1/PCP subjects. For Day 2 (CHE) and Day 3 (GEN) subjects where page progression is slower and there are a lot of problem-solving (and mastery of concepts naturally come with the problem solving), the conventional answering of EOC might be more preferable to provide immediate feedback.P.S. Music with little/without lyrics such as Video Game/Movie BGM seem to work the best for focus.

katch wreck`In a few years, TAE says it will finish building a successor, called Copernicus, which is intended to reach 100 million degrees Celsius—the temperature needed for conventional D-T fusion. By next decade, the company wants to build an even more powerful machine—Da Vinci—that could take it close to proton-boron temperatures.` <a href="https://www.science.org/content/article/reactor-experiment-demonstrates-alternative-fusion-scheme" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.science.org/content/article/reactor-experiment-demonstrates-alternative-fusion-scheme</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fusionPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fusionPower</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fusion</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#energy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nuclear</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nuclearChemistry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nuclearChemistry</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nuclearPhysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nuclearPhysics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#physics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/subatomic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#subatomic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/reactor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reactor</a>
