His complaining about the cost of distilling is hypocritical when the cost of writing all that text on the back of which he trained is also far lower than the cost of producing that text in the first place. The moral issue stops at wherever

Given how much ai spending Google need to do, and that the are selling equity for the first time in a long time to do it, no doubt spacex shares are going to be dumped out they moment they can.

The banks are not the ones on the hook here - they no longer lend in a meaningful way as first loss lender on many things. If they lend they do so as a senior financing provider to vehicles that provide the financing. The actual lending is

The banks aren’t the ones on the hook here. Private credit funds are.

The banks aren’t lending the money to these SPVs. It’s mostly private credit. The way banks get involved is that they may be lending senior financing to the private credit funds but that means they have a ton of subordination.

Anyone heard or xsight labs? They are making networking gear for AI and spacex satellites. I'd be curious if anyone can shine a light on: - Does full switch programmability actually matter in production, or is it one of those things th

I don't really see why you think nuclear waste is a large storage problem. If you don't like that website, and as you requested, here's another government resource so i can't be accused of being biased (the government al

yes! Apparently the rate of penile and throat cancer occurs at only half the rate in men as it does as cervical cancer in women, but the harm caused by the male versions of the cancer are worse, so in actual fact it may overall cause more h

I have had another experience with Opus 4.8 vs 5.5 which is along the lines of my prior experience of Opus generally having more common sense, whilst GPT is something along the lines of myopic code execution agent: I was asking them each to

I am not sure you have actually closely read what I have said. Early nuclear builds were cheaper to build: https://gordianknotbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/essay... Spent fuel is mostly reusable:

For the parts of the plant that cannot be put into landfill then storage like any other waste. Given how long they last, and how much energy they output, the waste is still very low per unit energy. Try this: https://gordianknotb

Nuclear used to be built cheaply, before regulatory uncertainty made private construction effectively impossible: https://gordianknotbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/essay...

When the sun shines sure you can power down other power stations, but you still need to maintain them and have them around for when the sun doesn't shine. So when you have lots of intermittent energy it means that you actually cannot s

The reason is that your body has mechanisms to fix the problems of radiation. For example, when you drop a stone in water would you say that you "break the surface of the water"? Our DNA is very similar - DNA damage occurs natural

Ok, in my own words it's something like this: - nuclear waste, after a period of the order of ~10e2/3 years is only dangerous if ingested. So it's as dangerous as any other poisonous substance after that point. There is no ne

The Gordian Knot and Jack Devanney's website is a goldmine of information which will address almost any question anybody has on the subject.

If only that were not just the start of the issue. Regulation means nuclear is probably an order of magnitude more expensive than it could be.

It is depressing reading hacker news threads on nuclear power because of just how misinformed so many people still are. These things are all true, and it's on the reader for not knowing: - nuclear power is expensive by choice. It is no

My experience of reddit forums is extremely poor. I admit to sometimes wanting to see if I can crack the AI on something, but mostly use it like a search engine for topics I'm not familiar with rather than to speak to/debate.
