It's immune-privileged. There's plenty of access for immune-cells. Some infections like with Gondoplasma are quite survivable. By comparison, even a few bacterial cells in the wrong place during certain bone/joint replacement

I would even say EMG is more useful as a HCI channel, except in the most extreme situations like lock-in syndrome or late-stage muscular dystrophy. EMG is way more easy to control consciously and as Humans we probably have hundreds of degre

As far as I know, surface EEG is almost useful in terms of controlling anything. It can even be quite hard not to make the software cheat and work with the much stronger and easier to control signals from muscles. Stuff like that is useful

Is that actually an issue with current technology? Other implants, like bone replacements or simple screws for orthosynthesis, have higher sterility requirements than a brain implant might have, given that the brain has an easier time fight

Would it be possible to translate machine code directly to WASM? Probably somebody already dunnit.

There is already clojurescript, not much use for clojure to WASM in the browser. I guess there are or will be JVMs for WASM at the very least. And Clojurescript running on Nodejs or Deno won't be that much of a difference.

The only thing that comes to mind is JITs everywhere and maybe that dotnet is trying to do more stand-alone compiling stuff. Other than that, completely agree.

If Starship flies as often as Musk says, one Starship would take one year to bring as much mass into orbit as everything ever launched before. Something like that or so I heard.

That caching layer sounds like a footgun. RTK Query does something similar, offering multiple ways to initiate, update and use the data of the queries.

Something like React Query and other hooks based approaches are fine and very useful for certain scenarios. At the end you always need a hook (or something very similar). But it can lead to defining asynchronous workflows through the nestin

There's nothing stopping you to use Redux Toolkit and RTK Query in Svelte. It may not be "clean" from an OOP perspective, but it is trivial to test, mostly without mocking, it is easy to reason with, and even less code and co

Germany doesn't have the capacity to keep anything secret for long. We're a lot worse than the US in that regard, and even they can't keep such things secret. There were never even rumors anybody wanted a nuclear weapons prog

Finland is a small country with a small population. It is futile to compare small countries with large countries. Small countries are much more likely to get lucky in certain regards, for example with a selection of suitable storage sites n

So you count the Fukushima plant as not modern enough, because it caused a large evacuation right? And what counts as modern? Certainly nothing that has ever been built in Germany. And how fast can we build them? They need to start to come

Ah yes. And you trust your government to do a perfect job stopping power companies from any such intentional miss-management, especially given such dire consequences? I don't, even though I trust my government quite far. Because the Ja

Fossil fuels are already getting replaced by renewables, biofuels and economizing energy usage. That's a cold hard fact you people seem to ignore. Technology is getting better. In fact, technology around renewables and energy storage s

Yes, long term storage has to be "perfect" in the sense that nothing leaks forever. That's a tall order. It also has to be acceptable to the population. Another tall order. You are still repeating the lie that fossil fuels ar

For me nuclear power plants were already sore points in national security long before the Ukraine war. Terror targets in peacetime, hostages in wartime. One way to put it: The entire safety record of nuclear power depends on no major war (c

Then research some more about how "well" it works for France. Germany actually exported quite a lot of energy to France before the transition from nuclear. France has plenty of problems with nuclear power. The only conclusion is t

The fraction that is generated from coal was relatively stable, even declined a little. It only very recently, like end of last year went up a little again - because of the natural gas transition. But that's still a far cry from "

Now you are switching around the argument. Of course you could replace coal with nuclear power. But that wasn't what you are lying about. Your lie is that nuclear is getting replaced 1:1 with coal power. Not the same thing.

You still don't understand that there is a difference between peak capacity and total emissions, right? And that you can replace plenty of total emissions with completely "uncontrollable" energy resources?

It's only a mistake to shut down the power plants if you assume we want to build lots more plants, nothing goes wrong and perfectly long term storage can be found. Really, to want nuclear power you need a high risk appetite. You label

Bullshit. The "Green" party is hovering around 20%, at best. Stop using them as scapegoats for bashing of opinions you don't like. Nuclear power is very unpopular in Germany. People don't like nuclear infrastructure in t
