I meant run nuclear at 100% all of the time and have it be a mix-in for power, rather than making up for solar and wind dropping off. My wording was poor. With energy storage and natural gas power as an absolute last resort, we could eliminate almost all of our non-renewable power unless there is unexpected demand.

I’m not sure what you mean by storage being solved, but then saying we need to pass laws to solve it. Not sure what you mean there. Most nuclear plants store waste on site at the same location as the plant because there isn’t another option.

I’m typically pro-nuclear, but there are legitimate problems with it:

1. Waste disposal - We STILL haven’t made a good solution for storing nuclear waste in most places.
2. Cost overruns - Nuclear projects almost always run over their budgets by 10-30% or more.

That said, I’m of the opinion that it should be a part of our energy mix, given it’s reliability in producing consistent power. I think we should prioritize wind and solar, but for our overnight and non-windy days, nuclear is a great way to fill the gap.

Proton is a lost cause. Their leadership are Trump ball garglers. I was looking at an alternative to completely replace Google and ended up choosing someone else because of their bullshit.

Yeah fuck this guy for comparing us to antimaskers. We have actual REASONS why AI is bad. People who were antimask were just fucking stupid.

Its basically IMAP, WebDAV, and CalDAV, plus a few other things, in one protocol. It greatly simplifies and unifies communications over a modern HTTPS connection while being an open standard.

JMAP is IMAPs open standard replacement.

Or JMAP, which is IMAP that doesn’t suck.

Lol I knew entering the comments on an article negative towards China was going to be a bloodbath. Seeing all of the deleted comments, it seems I missed it.

Hopefully this will coincide with the bubble popping and we can see a glut in DRAM supply from all of the cancelled orders.

What CPU are you running? If you’re running an Intel CPU, most transcoding can be done using Intel QAT. Not sure metadata or OCR, as I’ve never needed large scale for these.

Otherwise, I 2nd what everyone is saying about Intel ARC GPUs. I saw an A750 for sale for $80 refurbished with a 2 year warranty on eBay the other day, so the older first gen ARC cards sometimes pop up for cheap.

Depends on your settings. You need to reboot for kernel upgrades, so you’re good if you have automatic periodic reboots configured and kernel updates applied unattended.

Yeah that line melted my heart into a puddle. Poor man is probably going through it right now.

Captain Picard was a fictional role model for me as a kid, since I had a shit upbringing. It hurts me to see him gone, so I can only imagine how hard it is for Will.

Oh fuck. Was not ready for this news today. Captain Picard was basically my childhood idol. I had a shitty childhood, but I wouldn’t be the person I am today without Captain Picard and Mr. Rogers. Now both are gone, but I won’t forget them.

Godspeed and Engage, Sir Patrick Stewart. You are loved and will be missed.

Or they’re waiting for a bribe

Yes they have, which is why I specified.

While I fucking hate this man, the title seems to make it out like he blanket said arab culture in the middle east never produced any contributions to science. It seems what he actually means is that modern Arab middle eastern countries don’t produce science and that absolutely has some truth to it. They’re too busy bombing each other and murdering women because of their religious bullshit.

Religion is a poison to all science in society in nearly all forms, regardless of whether it’s Christian, Muslim, or something else. RFK should also point that microscope he seems so happy to wield at a bunch of people, including himself, in the Republican party for sabotaging science, too, though. He can’t throw stones in a glass house like that and not expect to get cut. The same guy criticizing Arab countries while approving peptides with no scientific backing is wild.

Fuck you RFK Jr.

Yeah one thing Wendys has a problem with is consistency. You go to just about any McDonalds and you don’t expect exceptional food, but it’s consistently close to the same quality no matter which location you go to, in my experience. A Big Mac in Kansas tastes about the same as a Big Mac in Florida.

Wendys has some WILD ass swings in quality, depending on location. Some locations would have fresh, crisp fries and good burgers and some you swore was on the warmer for 3 hours and put together by someone who was drunk. Unfortunately, as time has gone on, there is less of the former and more of the latter.

Hmm I find things were pretty good up until around the early years of the 2000s. Once the 2010s rolled around, absolute shit. It may also be that I exposed myself to better burger chains around this time, though, and I simply didn’t know better.

I’m split between Ugandan Knuckles and Doge (and not the stupid US government one).
