59 different companies including mine responded to MARAD's recent RFI on nuclear powered merchant ships. Many people are realizing that wind, hydrogen, ammonia, etc are falling short for global scale shipping. https://www.fe

This is the type of fuel planned for the TerraPower Natrium reactor and also the Oklo sodium-cooled reactors. Interesting stuff.

How many tokens/second you getting? I have the same CPU but a 5070 and only 64 GB of ram. I just got llama.cpp built and am now hitting a whopping 5-6 tokens/s.

LFTRs make readily-available (liquid-form) weapons-grade Uranium-233 during protactinium separation. They're the least proliferation resistant reactor known to man. LFTR has a far larger core than a PWR. Neutron diffusion length in wat

Frigate is so amazing. The lightweight object detectors plus home assistant automations and notifications are way too fun and powerful. I keep setting up new systems for family members after they see mine.

Their FAQ says they use Public Domain Registry to actually buy the domains. They are a wholly owned subsidiary of The Endurance International Group, who is owned by Clearlake Capital, a PE firm! So while it may shield you a bit, if you&#x27

I spent a long time recently setting pretty much this same thing up. When in my office my Android phone battery rapidly died, I guess because usteer kept trying to steer it or something. I ended up turning off usteer and 802.11r and just de

I always find this sentiment curious for 2 reasons: 1. Radioactive waste gets less toxic over time unlike many toxins like mercury, lead, and cyanide. People seem to emphasize the duration of toxicity for radiation while apparently giving &

I made something like this in like 2007 called Apocalypse Feed. It took in a few factors and aggregated them into a 0-to-100 number that updated and published over RSS. First it pinged debian mirrors around the world and made a map based on

I don't use it and so haven't compared. I'm interested as well.

Tangentially related, I recently had some hand-me-down high-end full tower speakers lose their integrated subwoofer amps. I bypassed them and wired in an external amp but people said the integrated DSP would be missing. That's when I l

I did a book in rst and liked that it had cool admonition, import, glossary, and index features that made it better than markdown for me. Still hate the heading conventions.

The announcement on instagram is here in case anyone wants to see it directly. Pretty well done. Nathan did a bunch of teasers with the other stars earlier. Kinda funny and goofy. https://www.instagram.com/p/DV6Js56jT3F

Ryzen 5950x cpu, 64 gb ecc ram, dual 16 tb drives for zfs, Nvidia 5070 gpu. Way way overspeced for what I listed, but I use it for lots of video processing, numerical simulations, and some local AI too. I have a similar subset of this stuff

Yeah, but autofilling everything down to the neighboring city is still a huge improvement.

That is a common and reasonable sentiment. I can't help wonder if Claude Code will move this needle. Maybe people will stop relying as much on excel?

Note that the headline means it's the first time a C-17 airlifted a reactor. Of course we airlifted many reactors in other types of aircraft: a swimming pool reactor from ORNL to Geneva in 1955, a TRIGA to Geneva in 1958, the PM-1 mili

It'd be cool to write a little script that dumps them out into an Anki deck for spaced repetition.
