Obviously I listed them right with the other duties. Just like I also listed my role as trainer of multiple departments in use of new networked computer systems, I wasn't hired to do that either but these things things are useful skills that prospective employers will find attractive.
I'm confused why you think there is a problem. Why do you think that people can only list duties you imagine belong under a job. The real world's jobs very different than any cookie cutter description.
For standard plutonium weapon pits, 85 years is known to be fine with 99.75% remaining according to declassified reports , look it up.
you do realize a U-233 pit would only be about 50% bigger (it's a very different beast than U-235) but with 160,000 year half-life would be usable for centuries
people have been thinking of that for over a decade but we have no compelling use case for it. if you want a bottlenecked architecture for cryptocurrency transaction database that makes the thing illiquid under high load it's perfect.
No it doesn't, you have shallow understanding of EE.
Complex numbers are used in EE models.
There is no imaginary current nor potentials in a circuit, those imaginary numbers are a convenient way to deal with stored energies that effect the actual current and potentials.
In fact, that would be great EE exam question, to make the student model the reactive parts with real number functions, then combine them withe the resistive contributions with time phase shifts, but not allowing any imaginary nor complex numbers.
They're a model, a useful construct of the human mind
My job that I was hired to do had nothing to do with systems admin, nor development. At the time I was hired those were hobbies only.
BUT I took those duties on at the employer by my own choice after a couple years besides my regular engineering job. Adminned Unix CADD / CAE systems, later the VAX cluster we bought that became our central server, then customized the CADD system, the estimating system, and the scheduling system. All from my hobby skills, not from any schooling which mostly had to do with pencil and paper calculations.
After seven years I quit that job and truthfully listed those skills and roles to get my next one which was systems admin.
Circuits in this world have current and potentials measurable with real numbers, they do not have imaginary currents nor imaginary potentials. The imaginary components in calculations have to deal with modeling stored energies that change and effect the current and potentials. Those could be modeled with real number functions and added to the resistive contributions with time phase shifts.
In fact, would be good question for EE students to see if they understand how components act under time varying potentials and currents. The voltage across an inductor isn't an imaginary quantity, it's proportional to changing current. The current out of a capacitor is proportional to changing potential. The functions of these reals can be combined with the function for the resistive components, but would need time phrase shift.
Pakistan's wise response would be to rain down nuclear weapons preemptively as that would be declaration of no-holds barred war , how is blinding Indian satellites a solution to anything?
No lies at all. How exactly is it a lie if I took on more responsibilities and used the skills I learned from hobby where I worked, then claimed those skills as used on the job on resume to get next job?
This is how you grow your skill set and become more valuable to employer. Maybe it's so alien to you and many others because you are lazy and rather whine?
People that put in some effort to train themselves get good jobs. Learn a trade, get a diploma, take some online classes, read some books... and opportunity increases.
I'm making six figure salary with skills from my hobby...
Those relations can be described without imaginaries in every case, they are just a tool for a model.
For example, for the reactive components of an electrical system, we can specify current, voltage, stored energy as reals and mathematically combine with the function for measured voltage and current with leads and lags.... using complex numbers we can more conveniently do that BUT there is nothing in an electrical circuit that "is an imaginary number"... only reals.
Ditto for QM probability density functions, aerodynamics, mechanics (energy in springs for example).... the complex numbers are tool for useful model, but are human constructs. The things that actually happen in the real world are strictly in the realm of reals, and in all cases the models can be done with only real functions combined with some less convenient math
No, you are committing the fallacy of asserting the consequent.
I did not say imaginary numbers aren't useful, they are an important part of the models we make.
"You can't explain over a century of physics without imaginary numbers"
Badly phrased, "we've made useful models for three centuries using imaginary numbers" is more accurate.
Does not change the truth of what i said, there are no imaginary numbers, nothing that corresponds to them, in the real world. They are a way of modeling, and really you could reformulate any quantum, electrical, mechanical or aerodynamic theory without them, instead making steps of calculating leading or lagging causes and effects. The complex number plane is more convenient is all.
I am very well aware of the usefulness of complex numbers, I have degree in physics. they are very useful in the models we use for electrical engineering, aerodynamics, etc.
BUT
that does not "make imaginary numbers real".
You have confounded a part of the model with reality. There is nothing in a real word airplane in a real air stream that is an imaginary number.
There is nothing in a real world electrical circuit that is imaginary either. We model things that produce lags and leads of voltage and current with them... but there are more cumbersome ways to model the same things too.
No it doesn't exist, it's a mental construct, an invention of the human mind. There is no square root of minus one in reality, it is instead part of useful models of reality.
Coders like mental masturbation, piles of unnecessary layers of cruft using libraries they don't understand, bogging a processor that could do billions of operations a second to doing less real work than one a decade ago in twice the amount of time...

lolz, would take 350 years for 1 percent of a mass of Pu-239 to decay

if I did systems admin for an employer it become a role, how could it not be a role?

nonsense, this was a very tiny amount of money
solving those issues would require level of money the Indian government doesn't have.

yes don't underestimate agenda driven "climate scientists" and their doublespeak that changes like the weather
you are confused. please tell me what news corporation doesn't pay their journalists? reuters? abcnews? cnn? fox? times?
no luck involved, they don't know I learned skills from hobby and then used them on prior job where I wasn't hired to do that.
yes, but in the common parlance people speak of LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol
and they're not going to change because some autist on slashdot gets triggered by it

We know the models break down under conditions not found in our Earth (inside black holes, extreme energies, times near big bang...)
But they are extremely useful for electronics, optics, for GPS satellite corrections...
hardly nonsense when the computer and monitor you're using is a product of solid state physics which includes quantum mechanics.
Those relations can be described without imaginaries in every case, they are just a tool for a model.

WRONG. You are very confused.

quit thinking on the level of an anti-vaxxer
Quantum mechanics makes useful and provable predictions, it is not nonsense.
No it doesn't exist, it's a mental construct, an invention of the human mind. There is no square root of minus one in reality, it is instead part of useful models of reality.
And a good tech news site with properly written summaries won't make readers use that. In other words, ones not written by autists like you.
