This is a pretty silly blog post. The complaint comes down to "a Bayesian model will always place a lower probability on outcomes that have not been observed than outcomes which have been observed already" which... of course it wo

It’s fair use because training sets are useless except for creating a new thing which transforms the inputs into something new. It’s not merely selling photos that already exist or something. Stable Diffusion has only about enough bits in t

Actually you can reprocess fuel rods. Typical rods are ~5% U235 at start with the rest U238, and over time most of the U235 gets burned up and turned into fission products. But you still often end up with ~1% U235 and some other stuff like

I don't know how they're made exactly, but one can just edit the code a bit and delete the restriction to just the given audio history prompts. It's literally just enforced, affect, with a simple "assert" command.

I've ran the numbers and based on the actual run experience of the RBMK it will end it's life as a reactor design having killed less than half as many people per TWh as American coal did in recent years using the 4000 expected dea

True, but they say in the article that "Pricing, which has already come down, could match beef as early as the end of the year, [Impossible's CEO] says, as his costs continue to improve with increased efficiency.“ That suggests to

Sort of but not really. If you install, say, an 11kW system only our house and this makes enough electricity to meet your average daily use, then during the day your house will be producing more power than it is using at the moment and then

From the perspective of the grid/utility it is fairly accurate though. They pay for electricity to be made at wholesale rates at every instant of time to meet demand. During the peak of the day in CA, wholesale electricity prices are n

What do you mean by long-lived? Fission products all become harmless ‘ less radioactive than the rocks we pulled out of the ground initially within ~300 years. That is well within the lifetime we can design containment systems for and far t

This is so horrifying I did not believe you and had to go test to make sure. Jesus that's awful. Force a newline on me before a list? Ugh but fine. Force it for every sub bullet? No freaking way, that looks catastrophically bad. This f

I think they should design the walls to make this easier and folks should put wheels on the side. Let’s go crazy, that was awesome.

Well we know that aqueous homogeneous reactors (AHRs) can be very small; we’ve operated them with < 1 meter diameter cores at powers of >5MWth before. A big plant with 380MWth was estimated to be an approximately 2.5m diameter cylinde

This is why I am planning on getting an electric unicycle. Compact and I can wheel it around like luggage under its own power.

Ah okay well yes I see how that might be an issue. I basically do everything in Julia, including calling out to shell commands, running scripts in other languages, Python packages, etc. etc. It's effectively my shell. I think the probl

Can I ask what about your use case would involve starting Julia and importing packages over and over? At least for my workloads, I often write a small .jl script that imports everything I want and then runs some functions on a list of files

It's fairly new. It was announced at JuliaCon last month (early this month? I forget) that it will soon be the default recommended way to install Julia moving forward. I'm personally hugely excited about it (Julia's been my m

I think the idea is that almost all of the costs like management, lobbying, paywalls, etc. are to be done away with, which that article estimates is at least 50% of the cost. Getting rid of a profit margin by being a public non-profit org s

Fracking with water (which is what geothermal would do) has pretty limited environmental concerns, and has enormous gains in increasing surface area and reach, so it almost certainly what we're going to end up doing. Iirc this is part

I knew I'd seen something like this in Julia. Fantastic to see it's already implemented!

The major, important difference is that LVT only taxes the site-value of a property, not the value of the buildings etc on it. More or less you'd be charged property taxes as if your lot was a blank empty lot. So for instance if you

LVT isn't a market distortion. Private landowners getting rich by not doing anything is a market distortion. If you buy a building (say that isn't rent controlled) and over 10 years the market rate for rents in the area doubles, y
