I find it really doubtful anyone has managed to quantify that in any meaningful way. Seems like mostly an arbitrary number. Also the article does claim that's its actual several times more than 18k if you are fine with using Codex, Cu

To be fair the margins on inference should be pretty good for Anthropic and OpenAI. The token cost for very large open models seems to indicate that. Of course DeepSeek is probably subsidizing their current pricing to a significant extent b

Based on any rational indicator SpaceX is extremely overvalued though. Of course it does not mean that its stock price will crash after the IPO, stock markets in the US especially are not exactly behaving rationally. > Norway is the 5th

Depends how you look at it. In tech its probably a lot easier get a job in most of e.g. Eastern Europe, of course unless you are at the top even (where the competition is higher) even adjusted by CoL salaries are much lower.

Air pollution has a direct negative impact on everyone's quality of life, I don't see why would you chose to decouple from "food-housing-energy". Coal would still be a bad deal even if climate change wasn't a concer

No? It's like saying that its safe to have more zoos with tigers because tigers pretty much never get out of their cages and get a to kill people unless there is some massive fuckup (i.e. you let soviet engineers supervise your tiger)

The fact that it's impossible to estimate the risk because the failure rates are unknown is concerning? Yes, more frequent failures would make it easier for insurance companies to estimate the risk and calculate premiums but I don&#x27

It's not clear the mismanaged massive evacuation was even necessary. In hindsight its like that less people would have died if they just stayed there for a few more days.

All nuclear reactors are massively safer than coal power plants though. If you excluded climate change and Co2 emissions entirely and measured harm/deaths adjusted by the amount of power generated the difference would be astronomical.

> Nuclear disasters happen at old plants. You used plural? What disasters are you talking about? Even Chernobyl wasn't technically first generation (not that it has anything to do with power plan safety in western countries anyway).

So you are implying the current economic mess Germany is in was planned? i.e. they understood the risks of relying on Russia and made a conscience decision to build their plan for transitioning into renewables around it.

Again.. too little and too late and that plan was built around the assumption that they will continue having access to "cheap" Russian gas.
