I like it, I comment exactly like you do. Comments are free, storage is plentiful, why not add comments everywhere?!

Hawaii here, you are right islands are great for electrics as long as you can charge them. No one here without a home with a dedicated charger can use them because there’s so few public chargers. I am lucky to be able to install a charger.

They have Dodge challengers in Germany. Watch some Nurburgring videos and you’ll see nearly every car.

Awesome, thanks!

No worries at all, I hate textual communication for the specific reason that it's hard to express true emotions through it.

I said > but I understand you probably didn’t mean it that way. Which I assumed the person I was talking to originally would see, read, and understand to mean that their comment was rude but I’m sure they didn’t mean it that way. Instead

Thanks, I am also autistic, so I guess we're evenly matched for this battle to the death :) Also, I wouldn't presume to speak for all autistic people, though I am one. Sometimes people can take the same sentence to mean different

It’s kind of rude to equate autism with “insanity”, but I understand you probably didn’t mean it that way.

The spectrum doesn’t work that way, it’s more like a grab bag of traits than a “low to high” thing. High functioning is often just a way to dismiss the needs for certain autistic individuals who can mask very well.

Okay so there is something called TrackIR and it has an open source implementation called OpenTrack. It’s used for simulators like flight or driving sims. I’ve seen iPhone apps that use a neural net to determine the direction your head is f

In what sense? I agree the tech industry fucking sucks right now, but I don't see how this has anything to do with that. A physical computer is still a computer, no matter what it's computing. The only use a computer has to us is

Usually you really don’t need that much experience. There are only a few percent of jobs will need very specialized folks, regardless of that description.

Most grid-scale batteries that large will have bigger inverters (usually it'll be inverters that can dump that energy in 2-6 hours so 500-150 KW for 1 MWh of battery) and require cooling systems and such, but if you're putting tha

I wouldn't want a battery in my basement. if there is a fire in the battery your house will turn into a smoking hole, in the literal sense. Maybe if it was an iron-air battery or something safe, but not the current generation chemistry

OK so how does that reduce the cost of nuclear effectively? That has to be a savings of a few tens or maybe a hundred grand over a year, it's peanuts. I'm asking for big examples, ones that would convince someone that regulations

by ok_dad 1y ago
"Excessive regulation" is always the excuse but I have literally never seen someone show how that is the case. They'll show you one or two low-hanging fruits and then extrapolate that into saving billions of dollars on constr

I am quite rational, thanks. See my other comment. Also, France has a state-owned company operating the plants. I would not be averse to an American version of that, or perhaps just expand and enhance the training they already do for the na

I'm not anti-nuclear, I'm realistic and I understand the technology and it's pitfalls. I was trained to operate nuclear power plants, I understand how they work and I'm not scared of the tech. I'm scared of letting

I don't think humans propogate these using agriculture.

by ok_dad 1y ago
I know because storage of spent nuclear fuel is a pretty big deal, and right now the USA is simply sequestering it on-site with no plans beyond 50-100 years because there is NO solution for long-term (20k years) storage.

Yes, cost was only 1 of 4 factors I noted.

Which specific regulations are halting nuclear construction? Let me know, specifically, which of the safety measures you think we can skip, with your extensive knowledge.

What’s great about the API that you enjoy and do you have anything you hate about it? I’m writing a small library at work for some NLP tasks and I haven’t got a whole lot of experience in writing libraries for NLP, so I’m interested in what

My rebuttal is this: where’s the nuclear plants then? It’s not economically viable. No amount of (ugh) Jordan Peterson whining will change that.
