people really dont worry enough about the existential threats involved with ai. there are things that will be possible in the future that we cant imagine today, including being kept alive for millions of years and…
wow thank you.
well for the record i am not saying we should have zero nuclear. i think we need nuclear waste products to power rovers, do certain medical diagnostics and we need nuclear subs to keep the chinese at bay.
ok but i just have doubts. you say that buried nuclear waste is safe but i need more detail. what if it leaks into ground water? can it leak? what kind of containment is necessary? and does it need to be guarded? do…
total power requirement of the united states / amount of average power including weather and TOD produced by a square meter of land + amount of land to store necessary batteries = a corner notched out of nevada. not…
each problem is different. computational chemistry has stagnated therefore AI isnt a concern? its nonsense. first of all, it may be that computational chemistry is much more tractable than we realize because we are too…
this is utter drivel. nobody is saying children should be isolated. they should be isolated from things and people who will damage them regardless of what they do. a stove can harm a child, but a child can choose not to…
this is nonsense. almost nothing is carried over. it seems like you have never been the target of viscous bullying. there is no comparison whatsoever to bullying in school and in the workplace. the differences are…
let me just say how much i appreciate and admire you. people love to look down their noses at homeschooling and homeschooling has been the subject of terrible and dismissive ridicule. a terrible stigma has been created…
i went to one of the best public schools in the states. even then the environment was toxic. heroin was dealt in the hallways, many kids even died of heroin overdoses. kids were viciously bullied and physically…
ok well lets settle it. how much waste would be produced if the whole country ran on nuclear? regardless of the volume of waste, how serious is a breach of containment? is the waste a target for terrorists? can it be…
exactly. fission is great if its run by smart, motivated people. unfortunately, the government is not always populated by the kind of people who are up to the task. and they are not always structured in a way that…
there are many huge packs. tesla has built some of the biggest ones.
i dont want to be contrarian, but this is wrong. you get 150-100 w per square meter. what am i missing?
i just dont buy it. hypothetically, there is a nuclear power plant design that is perfectly safe in that it will never melt down. but there is no nuclear power plant that produces no waste. as long as you are producing…
"you could buy electricity for around 2.5 cents per kilowatt." this is a typo. they meant 2.5 cents per kilowatt hour. i think its really interesting that elon musk has changed his public stance on bitcoin. originally,…
this is the aspect of science that is not talked about in the media and among "science, fuck yeah" "big bang theory" bros. science is full of dogma, politics and downright dirtiness. people who do research are often…

this also frustrates me
i always love a chance to share what i have discovered about dreams. for most of my life i never really thought much about how dreams work. i shared the same notion with most people, that they are a kind of sloppy…
im really sad to say that NASAs website is an absolute dumpster fire... does anyone know of a simple repository of all the images and videos captured by each mission? i just want to flip through the pictures…
i wish they would stream the video and audio from the craft live as it descends to the martian surface
i wish so much they would stream audio and video from the craft live as it descends to the martian surface.
this is so unbelievably cool. the patterns of station concentration in africa are really interesting to consider. its almost like a summary of the entire political/economic situation on the continent. really good music…
thats cool that its also on gemeni. why did ubuntu use wayland and then switch back to X? i think this is a great piece of evidence in the case for all these open source guys to stop wasting their effort on open source…
