Well put. I agree.

You ain't seen nothin' yet...

Caps Lock is Cruise Control for Cool, right? ;o)

Dear heavens, being a corporate employee is paranoia and depression-inducing. It's literally like walking into a legal minefield.

I'm not.

I'll make a prediction here: OpenAI will in the coming years turn out just as ruthless and socially damaging as Facebook did.

ChatGPT is a terrible source of info of security related topics.

"IN SOVIET RUSSIA, AGI FEEL YOU

and in rest of world, too!

The Marathon 1+2 engine back in the 90s allowed for "5D space", ie. "Spatial" Rooms that were capable of overlapping each other, because the engine only defined the floor polygon with a given height and these floor polys were connected to each other at the vertices to create the actual level spaces.

So even though you were in the same absolute space coordinate as another player, you were not necessarily in the same room.

Good times. <:o)

I'm impressed that email with POP, SMTP and slightly later, IMAP has served up so well for 30+ years, but by golly, it's an uphill battle running any sort of mail service yourself these days. I starting to understand the businesses that (claim to) run without email to and from customers.

Possibly, but has Shein done any tech innovation remotely like Amazon?

It's not tech, it's clothing & accessories shopping in a sector that's starting to get crowded (Alibaba, Wish and the much talked about Temu...).

This article appears to be AI-created and also, it doesn't answer its own title question.

Update: Checked out the host site. There's zero human fingerprints on any content made there. It all looks AI generated and completely anonymous.

Working set size, latency and pesky laws of economics.

May I humbly suggest that we start taxing the land value?

I wouldn't say that economics is a /pseudo/science, but it and its conclusions/recommandations are heavily affected by politicized thinking. But even Adam Smith also remarked on this phenomenon, so that's hardly a new development.

At this point most of my cerebrospinal fluid is replaced with coffee, so I don't know what my brain is supposed to clear out during sleep.

It depens on the fuel mixture. Some fuel mixtures are more suited for load following operation that base load operation.

>I reject the argument that being against nuclear energy is "partisan".

I'm specifically referring to your extreme rhetoric in this thread. Despite your continued claims, nuclear is experiencing a renaissance these years, and I see that it's purposeless to argue the point further with you, so I'll let you observe the developments yourself in the coming 10 years as they will speak for themselves. End.

Because the big coal & big oil lobbies are massively more powerful than the very meagre lobbying efforts of the nuclear industry. And yes, the greens are of course going for choking off the nuclear opponent, instead of Big Oily, not forgetting that part of the green movement does receive money from the hydrocarbon industry; the Sierra Club in the US has been funded by Cheasapeake Energy from which it receives 25 million bucks between 2007 and 2010.

For example, Greenpeace has recently successfully lobbied the Phillipne government to ban golden rice despite its obvious advantages:

So please don't present the environmental lobby as being selectively powerless.

This is already happening; Ørsted cancelled its two US Eastern seaboard windfarms in the US, saying that the cost of WE power needs to rise considerably for WE to become feasible again.

As for "nuclear being effectively dead"; the story you yourself posted in this thread says this:

quote: "By contrast, Russia, which now dominates the international market for new reactors, has 53 under construction, planned, or proposed within its own borders and another 50 in 19 countries. China is constructing, planning, or proposing to build 220 new domestic reactors, and 20 of its models are being built or are under consideration in 12 other countries."

And thats not even considering the agreement on tripling nuclear capacity before 2050, adopted by 20 nations at the COP28.

Can we stop with the ultra partisan claims, please?

Could you post a link to one or two of the sumissions where these analyses have been presented please?

Land is not a problem in land-rich nations like Russia or Canada, of the US for that matter. It is however a problem in Europe where distances are shorter, population density is higher and so are the land values and thus both direct & shadow costs associated with infrastructure development.

There is no market in the regular sense when it comes to large-scale enterprises, especially one that is so government-entangled as the energy and infrastructure sectors.

That's false. The manufactured nulear scare is a leftover from the Cold War where communists in the West did everything to equate nuclear energy with nuclear weapons and/or ticking time bombs that they advocated the abolition of (at the same time as most East-bloc nations had operating nuclear power plants). The cold war ended but the seeds of angst had been sown and to this day is the bedrock of the "green" anti-nuclear policies in pretty much every "green" movement on the planet, with a notable exception of the Finnish Greens. The Green parties, fx. In Germany have actively used hyper-regulation of the nuclear power sector as tripwires to make nuclear energy operation in the West extremely expensive to do.

Never underestimate Zuckerberg Inc.'s ability to consistently do the bad thing.

Just be sure that you attach the tubes in the correct order.

What you claim is clearly incorrect. First, major news outlets all over the world are still linking to twitter posts daily, not least because most of the worlds journalists are still actively using twitter, so obviously this feature still works. Also, there has never been more product development on Twitter/X than since the Musk takeover. Examples include community notes, creator revenue sharing and the features tied to the purchased blue checkmark (eg. Posts longer than 280 chars).

The major handicapping of the platform compared to earlier is that only the post linked to is now visible to non-users, whereas the whole thread it was part of was previously visible.

I believe you can summarize Mr. Musk's persona (including his speech and promises made or hinted at) as "unreliable".

That is hardly a surprise seeing how some of the most histrionic and self-assured, foulmouthed "big" posters from Twitter were the first to seek it out last year.
