Zipcodes are not great for reliably describing locations. They're collections of multiple postal delivery routes, and that's it. There's no guarantee that any given zipcode lies within a single city, or a single state,…
I think they get to that a couple of paragraphs later: > The idea was good, as were many elements of the execution, but there were also problems: some of its statistical methods needed more work, some of its approaches…
> The reason for cost overruns is simply because NPPs are one-off products But there's no fundamental reason they _have_ to be one-off products. They just historically have been for at least partly regulatorily…
In terms of cost of materials to build a reactor, sure, that seems right. But most of the cost of fission is dealing with its regulatory burden, and fusion seems on track to largely avoid the worst of that. It seems…
Oh for sure, I'm not claiming that CFS (or Tokamak Energy or Type One or whoever else) will for sure succeed, or if they do, that they've already solved all the problems that will need solving to do so. My only…
> It would require a technological breakthrough that we have not yet imagined. Maybe, but not necessarily. The necessary breakthrough might have been high-temperature superconducting magnets, in which case not only has…
It wasn't Airbus yet, so more like: Bombardier had to sale a controlling stake to Airbus to gain access to its Georgia production facilities.
> What is the alternative Other markets in the US are generally energy + capacity markets -- you get paid both for what you actually provide and for your ability to provide a certain level of power, whereas Texas is an…
As have Rocket Lab, Firefly, Astra (RIP probably), Stoke, Relativity, Spin Launch if that counts, and probably others.
The whole thing that differentiates this company from the dozen other seemingly-interchangeable new-space entrants is the novel technology they've developed to facilitate reuse. Even if it were the case that there isn't…
I'm not sure the goal of this competition, in and of itself, is AGI. They point to current LLMs emerging from transformers, which in turn emerged from a general basket of building blocks from machine-translation…
Intent on whose part, though? Like, supposing in arguendo that the company's goal was to make the voice sound indistinguishable from SJ's in Her, but they wanted to maintain plausible deniability, so instead cast as…
I think this is overthinking it. ChatGPT is billed as a general-purpose question-answerer, as are its competitors. A regular user shouldn't have to care how it works, or know anything about context or temperature or…
It wouldn't be 0 dollars, though; the majority of their users are apparently outside the US. So the question is: how does the amount you could get by selling a US-inclusive Tiktok compare the potential future earnings…
If you want to call from Go into Rust, you can declare any Rust function as `extern "C"` and then call it the same way you would call C from Go. Not sure about going the other way.
If it's any consolation, I'm pretty sure the leading edge is the blunt one, not the sharp one.
If you're building a submarine, you don't have to call it a "future submarine" until it submerges; people understand that if you say "I'm currently building a submarine," it has yet to go under water, but the thing…
If SAFs are to be economically viable at all, they'll almost certainly need to be able to run in existing, unmodified engines. So: all engines will be able to run on some amount of SAFs anywhere for 0% to 100%, as will…
They did demonstrate this during their Starship-only bellyflop/landing tests a couple of years ago. This wasn't in space, though, obviously, and wasn't after an extended coast period. So... we know they can relight them…
Orbit is mostly about speed, not about height. Going straight up and down doesn't count, even if you pass the height that some orbital vehicles attain. This vehicle is actually going orbital speed, but not quite orbital…
Yes, the companies targeted here aren't property managers themselves, they sell software to property managers, and have ended up providing services to many ostensibly-competing managers and building owners in some metro…
They broke the story, so I think if anyone else is carrying it, it will be framed as "new report says X" rather than their own independent reporting. But Michael Weiss has written for the Daily Beast, New Lines…
Here's an article: https://newrepublic.com/article/179267/recycling-doesnt-work... The gist: similar to Big Tobacco, etc., internally with the plastics industry, there seems to have been a much greater degree of…
At least in a US context, the proximity advantage is often less about line losses than about the political realities of building transmission. We have way less transmission in the US than we're expected to need as we…
Yes, the gist is that in a fusion device, you've got a chain reaction where the splitting uranium or plutonium is making neutrons, and those neutrons strike other uranium or plutonium, which makes more neutrons, etc.…
