last time rationalists tried to touch medical field we got metamed

in unrelated news, it looks like drought in hungary got less severe and they started up their NPP again, now with 3 out of 4 blocks running (one of them ran the entire time, for some time at reduced load)

cofnas got suspended for being a racist dipshit

times high education got wind of it all over nine months before cofnas did, but didn’t publish because of SLAPP possibility https://www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/i-was-reported-police-over-arday-case-i-was-just-doing-my-job https://www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/jason-arday-many-things-can-be-possible-same-time i read it as multifaceted shitshow

that shortened link is just redirect to https://dair-institute.org/projects/tescreal/

there might be something in there, any short question about SPPS devolves into gratuitous nonsense mashing together standard peptide coupling conditions, sometimes from three different approaches or more (publicly available from reagent suppliers, there are many variants so most of info repeats) even when it’s not the right tool to use. The more obscure reagent or use case, the faster it devolves into word salad, even if there’s clear analogy to more common one. Which, to be fair, is to be expected

Before i hit usage limit, two different chatbots happily devised schemes for ESD protection for zener diode (it’ll be fine without, zener diodes are used for this)

I see elsewhere on lemmy that it’s old reddit that gets loginwalled, not sneerclub specifically

either way still works for me

Everyone will have an exceptionally capable personal agent that understands you, your goals, and everything you care about. Your agent will work 24/7 on your behalf to improve your relationships, health, career, finances, home management, hobbies, and more.

I don’t know if that man ever figured out what is the point of having a hobby

e: also note how nicely it dovetails with surveillance thing, i guess this is (part of) why EAs are fine with all of surveillance, including palantir, is because how else will their personal ai slave agent know them better than do they know themselves

ai bubble isn’t over until zucc’s skin sloughs off, releasing hundreds of millions of souls he absorbed trying to behave like a human https://www.404media.co/mark-zuckerberg-posts-deranged-6-500-word-essay-about-giving-everyone-ai-superintelligence/

thiel’s lawyers are gonna merc him

There’s plenty shore NPPs cooled with seawater so it’s at least partially solved problem, not that these are right people to solve it. Guess they’ll fail in disruptive and innovative ways. Seawater also only touches one side of heat exchanger, that is until it rusts through. The expensive things should have deionized water running through them

I bet that things will corrode anyway, because of sea spray

which stage of bubble is The Men Who Stare at Goats

It ain’t over until Oracle implodes and Larry Ellison goes broke

Even then that’s extremely charitably assuming that this hypothetical productivity gain is put to good use, with ai-pilled management that’s just adding bloat 10% faster with a side of mindless tech debt

i think that poking a pressurized vessel is a bad idea in general, whether it is attached to a hostile robot or not. it’s gonna be LOUD and perhaps throw fragments, or take way longer than practical depending on what it was made from. (what if only one of two is damaged?) there are so many things that can go wrong with the alleged failsafe (what if pressure drops slower than designed?)

sounds like he took the hedge part out of hedge fund, and then margin call took out the fund part

but you see, in case of accident they can just dump reactor core into seawater which will provide ample cooling and shielding. no biggie, just put multi thousand ton object that requires a village of engineers to work out on high seas

there are normal nuclear powerplants that use seawater as coolant and they’re all on shore. these require a lot of corrosion resistant heat exchangers along the way. there is one power barge like this, it provides power to russian far east, whole 70MW of it, costed 414 million dollars and needs 300 people onsite. your guess is as good as mine how many of them are military. 70MW, aka two or three aeroderivative gas turbines

It’s lowkey expected considering how hard it draws from self-help movements

ah yes famously non-far-right cryptobros and downright woke russian and iranian sanction evaders

both alumina and raw aluminum, it’s alloyed to spec after smelting
