dekken_··on Sweden’s incoming cabinet says new nuclear reactors will be built
Thanks for that

The fact that you can use combustion to generate electricity, means they are interchangeable. The other comment is probably more on point about conversion effeciency.

You appear to be contradicting yourself, but I imagine you don't think you are, so you might want to elaborate.

You can do physics/computations in OpenCL, but not the graphics part

While I hope so, you can't know it will.

> Also, fusion based energy will get a boost.

A boost in funding, or a boost in output? The latter is so uncertain you shouldn't be speaking like this.

Make whatever case you want, doesn't mean anyone has to accept it.
dekken_··on Take a break
Much simpler to compare billionaires to hoarders/morbidly obese.
dekken_··on It's Time to Mandate Treatment of the Dangerously Mentally Ill
Many problems were solved by authoritarianism, if by problem you mean people being alive.
dekken_··on Did an NYU professor get fired because students hate organic chem?
> Your comment is ageist, nothing else.

Nah I just know the difference between reality and generalizations.

Always? Unlikely, can be sure, but I doubt it's always.
dekken_··on Museums on prescription: Brussels tests cultural visits to treat anxiety
Tangential, there's some "evidence" suggesting metalheads are happier (on average), music is art right? ;)
dekken_··on The Big Bang should have made cracks in spacetime–why haven’t we found them?
> Because there was no big bang.

Bingo. Whatever evidence is claimed to exist is only ever indirect. We cannot recreate the big bang, claiming it happened is worse than claiming it didn't happen.

I don't think your black hole points are correct but it's fun to consider.

We do a lot of things other than those just to survive. The thing to talk about these days is "quality of life". If cannabis helps, and a person wants to use it, it's not really my business.
dekken_··on Prenatal cannabis exposure associated with mental disorders in children
The point is that weed isn't just bad for you, it depends on your condition and the dosage.
dekken_··on Prenatal cannabis exposure associated with mental disorders in children
Water is bad for you in sufficient quantities.
