Tbh even in old buildings it might be possible to reabilitate old chimneys for AC (or rather heat pumps).
No, it's from last october, and it probably lasted until at least codex5.3/sonnet 4.6, so it's 6 month old at best, maybe less (You can't say the same with Opus though for sure). I felt faster for sure, but all metrics (except LOC) from my team were worst, and we spend a lot of extra time bugfixing. We're better now, but it's hard to say if it's because the models are that much better or if now the people generating 100% of their code now actually review the code themselves before opening a PR (also we are a bit more coercitive during the PR reviews, what use to be non-blocking like style choices is now blocking, and we dig way more).
Usually LARPers are conscious that they don't have magic or any sword skills. I'm pretty sure the person who you respond too really think what he wrote.
If you are a young man not vaccinated yet and sexually active, you should get the vaccine if you can.
Because until they do, I will consider their comprehension skills limited.
>> The only good point about that is that it makes the regime weaker to domestic insurrections.
But it will make the regime harsher on its population, and cause more suffering.
It's probably too expensive, because the best way to make nuclear cheap is to build it 'at scale', and here I mean, continuously. You need a company that will get a reactor out of the ground every year or so, continuously, to avoid loosing knowledge and build upon failures or success.
I know three persons who work or used to work directly with nuke plants, one my age who is currently working in getting the newest french reactors off the ground, and two who are friends of my father, one who finished his career in China, and the other became a submarine welder. From the discussion I've listened to, and especially from the welder, the technical requirements are very high, knowledge and techniques have been lost and making nuke plants correctly nowadays on the first try would be a miracle (he is also very skeptical of the first wave of french reactors), you need to iterate and build knowledge, which isn't cheap.
Probably not economically viable in Switzerland though.
Also, very dry, so it's easy to loose focus, and you can read a rephrasing of your own thesis as a "he has the same ideas" (also, if you do that, please reference the author?)
I find a few of the example damning (hje should totally have added a citation and build his argument around it). Most less so, and i understand that a reader could not catch them.
Unless america does it _very_ different than the rest of the western world, this is already the case. STEM research receive way more public funding and have way more PhDs than other fields, in my country it's almost two order of magnitude (this has to do with the cost of instrumentation mostly, but not only).
On the "science have turned political", yes, but that has always been the case. You can be political and non-partisan. UNSCEAR has been political from its creation, but is still non-partisan, anybody can use its research to make partisan proposition on nuclear. Same for WHO, it was _obvisouly_ political, advanced the interest of the first world in poorer countries, but it stayed non-partisan. This is probably the same for any medical research: obviously what is researched is political. Non-partisan though. Just because heart attack research was done by, with and for men, women also benefit from the research (although to a way lower degree until like 2010).
The only counter-example i can think of is the GIEC group3. I don't think it is partisan, but i can hear arguments that say that it is, and debate. But it has the lowest amount of funding of the 3 groups, and Group 1 and 2 are not partisan at all.
