I’m serious I can’t tell what it is. Something with all the benefits of on prem and cloud without the costs of either.

What is their product exactly? It’s a server that is cheaper for some reason?

Russia recently ordered corporations to start funding their own air defense.

Ukraine has been at war for 4 years. They didn’t have the capability to hit Russia this hard and deep until fairly recently. These are mostly home grown weapons developed during the war.

What are you referring to?

I’m not going to bother to check the math but Gemini estimated $20billion/y to generate 1gw with hamsters on wheels so honestly that could be competitive.

Do they have a conventional drill or does this involve some new technology? They aren’t using the microwave thing are they?

It’s hard to come up with any idea that is not easier than going to space for solar energy.

I think they have a lot more reason to keep it around this time. PowerPC was a dead-end and x86 is most definitely sticking around.

But why is it a great idea if solar provides more power, more cheaply without any danger whatsoever?

See reply above. That's my point.

By "free" I mean that you need so little fuel over the lifetime of the reactor the cost is negligible compared to all the other extensive costs of building and managing the plant.

That's my point I'm trying to find a good argument for why modular nuclear is a good idea.

Can modular coal (which doesn't need all of that) beat solar? If not, then I don't know why modular nuclear would be able to.

A nuclear power plant is essentially a coal power plant with free fuel. Today, if you literally built a coal power plant with free fuel it would not be cheaper than solar. My question: If you built a small modular coal power plant, would that be cheaper than solar? It necessarily has to be cheaper than nuclear.

It gave me a list of sources that I could check to read the original laws I was interested in. This is incredibly helpful.

Over/Under how many weeks until a "How can I get away with wire fraud?" query is used as evidence to convict a moron?

But actually at first glance this is incredibly helpful. I got a definitive answer about what counts as preventative care with sources. I could not get that myself from anyone or anywhere in my couple of hours of research prior.

I'm going to think of unreviewed AI written code that the AI swears works, as "happybaked" from now on.

Depends a lot on terrain. Las Vegas to SD is brutal for elevation. Only 332 miles but I had to stop to charge twice in order to arrive with at least 20% charge in my 330mi range EV. Maybe I could have done it on 1 stop but I didn't want to risk getting my family stranded.

Is "happy-baked" a typo or is that an actual term? If it was an accident, I kind of like it.

The above comment’s video explains why.

You lose energy converting the the gas power to electrical power to mechanical power. Constant RPM doesn’t matter as much as you think.

Why do you need that much range and what are you looking at that is anywhere near that?

Hire a CISO and let them build a team empowered to improve your security. Don't depend on a decentralized approach. The most important aspect in my opinion is locking down permissions so that no one has access to everything and each team only has access to the components they need access to. Then one hack doesn't take down the whole company.

Does Eyesight beep at you frequently? My 2020 Outback beeps every time it can't see the lanes, which is about once a mile where I live. I'll probably never by another Subaru because of that issue alone.

If I were waiting that long I’d fly to SE Asia. I got one in Cambodia same week for $1200.

Yes, this is why all discussion about "safeguards" is maddening to me. They are simply committing crimes, and people should go to jail. I guarantee that OpenAI will stop worrying about "alignment" when people simply go to jail for hacking and theft.

Yeah I'm not sure if I would have had the guts to get out or if I would have just curled up on the floor of the vehicle and preyed.

If you have the privilege of a $200k delta then you have the middle ground of buying your parents a house near you.

There are always going to be reasons to not get out of bed in the morning.

It's the same with "The Village" when deciding not to have kids. Everyone is allowed to move back to their hometown, or ask family to move closer. It's not always simple to do, but it's a choice people make not to.

Too many people sure, but it’s doomerism to say third places are “dead”. Bar trivia is still packed, there are still pickup games in the park, and your local library still needs volunteers. I think this online attitude probably causes some people to not even look for third places in the first place.

I really don’t get this “third place” thing. People can still just go do stuff like they always could. Clubs, teams, community events all still exist.
