what the fuck are you talking about

When state-level funding for SMRs is available, it just makes more sense to build normal, GWe-sized reactors instead. For everything else, look up https://awful.systems/comment/7019440

i think that lack of willingness to handle fresh fission products has a part in this, in normal reactor you can just do nothing and win (bulk of most dangerous isotopes decays completely within 5y, not possible to do this with MSR)

this is toy sized reactor, not even entire technology demonstrator, there are medical isotope/research reactors with power 20MWt and more

skunk works recruitment be like

that's how you know he didn't succeed yet

in this house we obey laws of physics

hey "way too verbose" is a free space

fire up mspaint next time

idk when i'll have better opportunity to post this

Clearly self-driving teslas just need to mill their path through pedestrians

yes, these are not onions either

im pretty sure that fracking was invented by white people

I mean, what has crypto left over? All of that is only useful for sanctions busting and money laundering

amazement at chatbots comes from demographic that did not binge watch how it's made in middle school

it's not if you pay up https://www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-money/

ed paid, and that's what he got. this all comes with caveat that this count doesn't include deepseek chinese customers, but that's barely relevant to sv bubble

wow these prices are fucked. you can reuse glass indefinitely, lids are fine too, just clean them. when lids corrode you can replace them separately because these come in just a couple of standard diameters. for example 0.5L and 1L jars have (one of two types of) 82mm lids, and 0.3L jars have 66mm lids. these come in 50 packs and cost (first offer i've found, not specifically going for cheapest option) close to 7 and 6 euro per respectively. 50 pack of 0.3L jars is 23 euro here

claude has something like 1/30 of chatgpt userbase, it's not relevant and anthropic can't pick up opeai users when (not if) it collapses. also somehow they are even faster at burning their money

all your favourite boutique ocean-boiling nonsense generators combined, compared to openai products, have something like fifth of their userbase on mobile app and something like 2/3 on website. without counting deepseek (data from february - it was very fresh back then), it's closer to eigth on app and third on website
