Meltdowns are also not the only risk.

That's very recent and not tested enough outside of China, so personally I'm going to wait and see what X-Energy does, but it'd be great if it works out. Meltdowns are also not the only risk. That Wikipedia article says the P

If it's that easy, why didn't Fukushima's plant get the meltdown-proof reactor?
5.
by asdf000333 2y ago
Yep. Personally I'd be happy with a nuclear power plant in my town, but it's not because I read some book proving to me that it's safe. And I don't want to hear the Fukushima partial-meltdown was operator error and we ju

The above comment didn't say that sailboats don't exist.

Earthquakes and tsunamis often go together, and operator mistakes always happen.

"Which other source has cleanup operations going for decades, 1000s of miles from where a single plant operated?" I thought the answer was going to be a coal plant until I read the rest

I'm not sure what else you want beyond my answer, maybe proof that these big tech companies have indeed been hiring bright engineers, but maybe you or someone else can find it on the Internet. I'm gonna go ahead and agree with Dig

I'm still curious what all these companies exactly want genAI for, but I doubt it's about ads. And the other kinds of AI aren't driving the new power usage.

The talent follows the money. Consider what was hottest during the 2000s-2010s tech boom, startups offering free services with the value proposition of eventual data collection for ads. Maybe also look at value instead of revenue, in terms

"Don't be evil," from the very beginning, actually meant "focus on revenue more than profit for the time being."

The assumption is that AI builds momentum in nuclear power to the point where it can be used elsewhere. I've kept hearing that nuclear is very expensive mainly due to lack of scale.

I'm also glad to see that the hot startups aren't social media anymore.

by asdf000333 2y ago
You can look at what percentage of each big tech company's revenue is ads or how much they've spent on their advertising platforms.

Isn't this what they say every time there's a new reactor design? Then somehow there's still an accident like in Fukushima.

Unless it's not actually Google but some shell company Google is technically a customer of. But either way, I don't imagine the intent is to bail on the agreement.

I've never used E4X, but it at least looks like it'd make XML more tolerable. Most XML experience I had was ejabberd and XMPP. Was thoroughly pissed off by the end of it. We ended up sending JSON over IQ messages instead because w

The terminal is iTerm2, but the basic Mac terminal or common Linux ones can do opacity too. Didn't go out of my way to set up auto-reload, so idk how to do it in general, but the default create-react-app dev setup does it.

I'm not really a frontend dev, but React (w/ JSX, and w/o Redux or whatever) is the only web thing I've ever used that made sense. Everything else like CSS, Angular, and jquery made me go "wtf."
22.
by asdf000333 2y ago
I'm glad to have mostly avoided frontend dev, but we've also had some bonkers backend trends like SOAP. It was like closing your eyes and wishing for a full-stack impl to appear if you write enough XML.

I like putting an auto-reloading browser window behind a 60% opacity Vim window.

Yeah this is a good succinct way to put it.

Social media was originally all about connecting with people you know in real life. Nowadays some of them are about followers you don't always know, but one way or another you're repeatedly interacting with a select pool of people

I was antisocial then became relatively social just because everyone else became even more antisocial. It's like that Simpsons episode where everyone starts acting like Bart, and he realizes the problem with that.

The Wikipedia definition isn't complete, otherwise Wikipedia itself is social media too. Basically nobody outside of HN would consider HN social media if they saw it.
29.
by asdf000333 2y ago
What originally set social media apart from forums was that you interact with people you sorta know. Social media apps later drifted to something else, but they still aren't forums. HN is a forum.

But it's via the messaging component of a social media site, which is fine by itself. Nice how FB Messenger is its own app.
