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…

If it's that easy, why didn't Fukushima's plant get the meltdown-proof reactor?

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 parti…

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…

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 t…

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…

"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.

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 …

mainly the CSS

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 d…

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 mad…

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…

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

Yeah this is a good succinct way to put it.
