The problem is that humans cut corners for power and profit, and the nuclear industry is no exception.

  • Fukashima happened because they skimped on the wall height and generator placement.
  • Enerhodar is currently under siege in Ukraine, future unknown

Those are two within the last 15 years. I'm glad when things are happy happy joy joy nuke plants are safe, but don't think for a second that it's a steady state. Ready to see what happens when a spent fuel pool gets hit with a bunker buster?

Nomecks ,

Cool, now do solar and wind.

Next up: arranged marriages!

I'd be sucking dicks for NVIDIA stock money.

Who says I don't?

P/E ratio. Penis to Earnings

Why do people still pretend it takes longer than 20 minutes to get a 50% charge increase?

Nomecks ,

You must live in a red state or the middle of nowhere. It's easy to find chargers everywhere I've been.

Nomecks ,

Most cars will charge to 80% pretty fast. 20%-70% is really fast on most.

Nomecks ,

You actually get to meet Allah. World's best pilgrimage.

TIL that it may be faster for humans to run on all fours. ( www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov )

The fastest human on the planet might be a quadrupedal runner at the 2048 Olympics, which may be achieved by shifting up to the rotary gallop and taking longer strides with wide sagittal trunk motion. More generally, investigation of quadrupedal running will not only result in the development of new techniques that allow...

If you want to pay 10x what S3 storage and a free S3 browser/sync util costs

Nomecks ,

So you have no data? You don't use it for backups, or storing videos/photos? Seems like you're paying for the same service I get, you're just paying someone else, and likely more.

Nomecks ,

I use S3 and a sync util to do the same with all my music, photos and videos. I'll be hosting my own S3 soon enough, but for now AWS/Glacier instant retrieval is like 1/10 the cost of Dropbox

Nomecks ,

Congrats, you're an edge case of Dropbox users.

3 people, $1000 per day for park hopper tickets with Genie+ and Lightning Lanes, no guarantees of getting on rides. Food, beverage and accomodations not included.

Nomecks ,

This totally glosses over the fact that they're apparently allergic to overpasses in Florida, and the second you have to leave the Disney property for anything, even by Disney shuttle, it will take you probably an hour to get more than 5km from the entrance.

Nomecks ,

Looks like he's a Ph.D bridge engineer. Good on him.

Nomecks ,

It's even better than that. A lot of companies are taking NVIDIA's pre-built workflows, running their data through them and selling the results as their own AI. "We build proprietary RAG AI!"

Nomecks ,

Stanford is literally in Silicon Valley. It's no shock that the University that cranks out tech bros and is funded by the same group doesn't want anyone reporting on anything unethical.

Nomecks ,

Nice! How have wages at these new jobs been stacking up with inflation?

Nomecks ,

Sorta like how the US runs the petroleum markets? You should go look at how they deal with softwood lumber too. Multiple WTO complaints for unfair trade practices. The US chose where they want to pour their subsidies and so has China.

Nomecks ,

We're talking about EVs and not comprehending my post, apparently.

Nomecks ,

It's not a matter of "allow", it's a matter of what governments choose to subsidize. There's no point in getting pissy at China for subsidizing an industry to the detriment of other countries when the US actively does it in other industries. The US could do the same with batteries and EVs, but there's no political will.

Question about collective ownership

Suppose I have studied for years to become a pastry chef. I set up my own bakery, investing my time, energy, and labour into procuring equipment and building up a reputation as a delicious place to eat. I run the entire operation myself as the sole worker. Eventually, after years of turmoil, word of my exceptional pastries...

Nomecks ,

Well if you're talking in an idealized world, where capitalism hasn't driven business ownership deep into the psyche, it would be easy. You're working for the greater good and you have no concept of what business ownership is.

Nomecks ,

With no profit motive I would assume the people who work with you are there because they either like the work or they wish to learn from you. In either case I'd imagine there would be disagreements, but that the intent of them working with you is to actually work with you. It's not like they have to. I can't speak to malicious intent, but I would believe that any sufficiently advanced socialist society would have a framework to deal with those scenarios.

Nomecks ,

Windows is such a tiny piece. The real question is: will companies ditch M365 for Linux? Anyone who has used Teams on Linux knows how much it sucks.

Nomecks ,

There's a lot of bureaucratic delays in large enterprises and public sector. If you're doing a job right you're likely waiting on other people 80% of the time.

I do all kinds of free training when I've got downtime. Psychology, the sales cycle, dealing with people, project planning etc. Can all help with almost any job

Series: Conservatives of Lemmy: What do you think has gone awry in modern society and how might it be constructively addressed?

I'd like to start a series seeking viewpoints from across the political spectrum in general discussions about modern society and where everyone stands on what is not working, what is working, and where we see things going in the future....

Nomecks ,

The truth is that nobody ever really cared about anyone else, but social norms kept people in line and slow communications made it hard to organize. The internet taught everyone that they're always right, and it's ok to argue about anything and everything with as mich vitriol as one could muster. It also allowed the worst among us to organize and communicate easily. COVID showed us how much people truly don't give a shit about almost everything until it's truly a disaster for them personally.

Nomecks ,

Two, because lemmy.world broke my mfa somehow.

A carbon capture project will eventually suffer a catastrophic leak and suffocate everything in a 5 mile radius

Nomecks , (edited )

Fantastic. So no carbon capture projects will be grossly mismanaged to maximize profits in areas with low reulations or be abandoned to rot until they blow? That sure as hell happens with gas wells.

60 year old house. They used to use this stuff called "no corrode" pipe for sewage. It was made of tar and straw and had around a 60 year service life. Mine finally collapsed, backed up and caused $30k of damage to my basement + 25k cost to dig up my back yard to replace it.

Feeling lost and with no direction, what skill should I learn?

Hi everyone. I am feeling like I've lost any direction after getting laid off earlier this year (was working as an analyst in telecom and very recently landed a much lower position in healthcare data entry due to necessity). I already have several hobbies but I am either burnt out on them or they have lost their luster (similar...

How about taking a trade?

Nomecks ,

There's no more room in the NYSE datacenter. They can't frontrun properly without a new exchange!

Turn on any upstairs bathroom fans. I find it gives the hot air an escape and allows more cool air to flow upstairs

14% global BEV growth YoY. It's an American car company probelm.

Wall framing question: stud spacing between openings

I'm framing up a non-load-bearing wall that has two closet doors on it, close together (the king studs for the two openings are 13" apart). Unfortunately, they are aligned such that one of the 16" OC common studs would fall within that gap. In fact, it would only be 1/2" away from the left king stud, so not even anywhere near...

Nomecks ,

Just to throw a wrench into this post: 19.2" is also valid spacing, as indicated by the mark on your (newer) tape measure.

24" spacing will likely require 5/8" drywall to prevent flex.

Nomecks ,

Chevy Sparks. They pack well and hold their value

Nomecks ,

They're partnered with NVIDIA, and their main competition, Intel, is shitting the bed. I'd bet Caterpillar since AI is giving coal power a boost.

I used to rebuild laser printer fusers for the same reason

Nomecks ,

I would argue that most people are almost completely oblivious to the world around them. This lady has been fed pro Russian propaganda her whole life so of course the real world is shocking. How could everything she was taught be wrong?

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy's massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It's been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let's say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they're what's colloquially referred to as...

Nomecks ,

No, they control their content and you control whose instances you sub to.

"Money printer go BRRRRR" was originally a joke about the US Federal Reserve printing money to make all the financial problems go away, usually paired with something like Wojack screaming about how economics work.

It got co-opted by the GameStop stock movement (Apes) saying GME was the money printer. Whenever the stock went down people would post memes of apes asking "Where money printer?"
