Good call, here cannabis damaging effects are usually minimised and hidden under the rug. And you will always, always find someone telling you “what about alcohol”

All the nuclear energy production plants in the world ever built have the same capacity as the amount of solar generation built just last year . So your comparison doesn’t make much sense, nuclear is dead in current energy market, it make

There was Sam Altman taking live prompt requests on twitter and generating videos. They were not the same quality as some of the ones in the website, but they were still incredibly impressive.

Feeling the heat? Did you actually watch the videos? That was a huge leap forward compared to anything existing at the moment. Order of magnitudes away from a blog post discussing a model that maybe will finally be on par with chat gtp 4...

Yes, they were. They got stuck with ice and they disagreed in the air speed sent. Because of this the autopilot was disabled and the flight controls were switched in alternate law 2. The pilot that was flying failed to realise that this mea

No way that they are going to ground them now. Last time they were delaying the grounding as much as possible even after the second fatal crash. They grounded it only after a lot of other countries already did it.

Why not? You don’t need always peak power, in the night when there is no solar production the peak power consumption is much lower. And even accounting for average generation, using the capacity factor of 20% for solar and 90% for nuclear i

You are completely wrong. You don’t need only 2 or 3 nuclear power plants. You would need to build again the total global nuclear capacity ever built only to balance the 413GW of solar deployed just this year . Nuclear is dead, whoever s

Nuclear can’t simply be built as cheaply and fast as solar. https://www.iea.org/energy-system/electricity/nuclear-power# “ Nuclear energy, with around 413 gigawatts (GW) of capacity operating in 32 countries” So t

And yet spacex was profitable this year. So if it’s true that they are spending $2B per year on starship while being profitable it’s unbelievably good for them.

A huge amount of advertisers ran away, the revenue cratered and it is probably less than the annual debt servicing (revenue, not profit), the current valuation, accordingly to Musk math ( https://fortune.com/2023/09&#x2F

You don’t really need to go in the millions to appreciate the complexity of a chip. The famous Motorola 68000 had actually 68000 transistors.

I don’t think that the explanation is entirely correct. Inflating a balloon will produce a spherical antenna not a parabolic one. Now I don’t really remember the implication of using a spherical receiver for radio waves, but in case of ligh

The FAA approval is delayed exactly because of the water deluge system: https://twitter.com/BCCarCounters/status/1717561704689668377

Pretty much everyone following the first orbital attempt closely for months could tell that the 3 days delay was just bullshit to appease Musk. I was following starship from the time when was still called ITS or BFR.

You don’t need to work from first principles to understand that the most powerful (by far) rocket built would obliterate whatever concrete you use without an appropriate water deluge system and/or flame trench.

Yeah, right. Strangely you didn’t mention BBBY.

Nuclear is too expensive nowadays and way too slow to build. For comparison we have 368GW of nuclear power in the world ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commercial_nuclear_r... .), while just last year we adde

Exactly. And from the various videos it doesn’t seem diamagnetic at all because it floats in a stationary way on a single planar magnet. Diamagnetic material can’t do that, they need an array of magnets.

Who told you that they are not attempting the reproduction? Even US labs are attempting it, some of them explicitly in the open like the Argonne National Laboratory. Here you can find a non-comprehensive list of reproduction attempts: http

It was exactly one of the point that were criticised in the original paper. I think that the supposed Reddit “expert” that ridiculed it should really be shamed to apologise to the authors. And together with him a lot of other people in vari

No, it’s not. It’s the chemical reaction the limit. In li-ion for example you will create dendrites when charging/discharging too fast or too deep. This is the cause of the relatively short cycle life.

Spacex it’s aiming to launch in 2023 about 100 times per year, and they are not too far behind given that they launched already 49 times. The launch cadence is going to drastically increase once starship is available. It seems a quite big
