It is no longer legal to build the kinds of Gen 2 plants France built their fleet out of, so I don't see how inflation-adjusting that cost would be more accurate than looking at the current market cost. As an example, today plants are

For 250B EUR, Germany paid for the learning curve movement that now enables the rest of the world to deploy solar and batteries. If it was not for German investment to drive that 90% drop in price, bills like the IRA would not even be possi

I’ve spent the last decade working with very good EU engineers. If I wrote a list of the top 50 people I’ve come across in EU, I would estimate 45 of them now work remote for US companies or have moved to the US. Anecdotal, but at least tha

The “90% clean grid” back casting model I mention very much includes nuclear! My little sentence there from 2020 is wrong, it should say “90% clean using wind, solar, batteries, hydro and the existing nuclear fleet”.

Assuming your lower estimate of 15B + 60B, that remains two orders of magnitude above the insurance policy you claim "is extremely unlikely" to be exceeded, so arguably my point stands. "Reliable power" is well.. this ke

We are 100% in agreement that societies subsidies of fossil generation far outstrip anything else. My question was about your claim that nuclear has the lowest subsidy of any generator. > It is extremely unlikely that a nuclear acciden

> Of the reliable sources of energy, nuclear is safest and the least subsidized. How do you evaluate this? Do you have a summary of estimated subsidies per MWh for different generators? My understanding is the same as the comment you are

I think it seems like yet another environmentalist that’s realized they were wrong on nukes and is now overcorrecting. This is a “yes, and”, not an “or”. Yes we should build nukes and we should continue the massive ongoing deployment of r

This is how Neo4j clustering works, FWIW. Client gets a “bookmark” - basically an index into the RAFT log - and can opt to include that when querying secondaries, who will block. I imagine variations of this are quite common, vector clocks

One thing I note from listening to my wife talking about her work, which is in molecular biology of human neurons, is that there seems to be so many signalling mechanisms, vs just one in the neural nets I’ve seen in software. Like, there ar

I was heavily involved in the push to switch Neo4j off of memory mapping and on to an in house page cache. In retrospect, I’d say it was something like 50% driven by Java memory mapping having insane issues on Windows, 20% Java memory mappi

As I understand, the comparison doesn’t make sense. ClickHouse is an OLAP db, PG is an OLTP system. I haven’t used ClickHouse, but it seems it’s the kind of thing to back reporting functions, data science workloads etc, not back a transacti
