I assume the unstated premise you are operating on is that we can supply our entire energy needs with cheap renewable, but that is NOT the case, especially as we use more computing and electrified transportation in the future.
I stopped reading there.
Drop the attitude and provide sources to back up your claim like I did or quit wasting my time.
Read the rest of the article, focus on the LCOE section. I’m not here to hold your hand.
Alternatively, just admit you don’t know what you’re talking about and we’ll leave it there.
I already did. New nuclear isn’t economically viable.
Solid rebuttal, good job 👍
New nuclear is dead in the water, there’s just no economic argument for building it.
Pretty much. He has the attention span of a toddler so he’ll find a different target soon enough.
I’d happily finance another Dredd movie with Garland and Urban working on it.
Boot time isn’t as important to me as the time it takes to be ready for use. I notice this more on Windows machines where it gets to the desktop and it’s still fucking around with a bunch of stuff in the background for a minute or two.
Ok.
Somewhere along the way we decided punching Nazis wasn’t cool. I worry it’s too late now.
In my head Mad Max and Judge Dredd live in the same universe.
Can anyone explain the benefit? I would’ve thought putting the motor in the wheel would subject it to way more wear and tear from being only a tire wall’s support away from every pothole and bump in the road. Mounting a motor on the vehicle frame and using a driveshaft offers much more protection.
I remember there being a lot of innovation in all kinds of directions. The tech looks old and crusty these days if you look back on it but at the time it was exciting, it seemed like something cool and interesting was happening every week.
I think that’s the difference. Back then it was diverse and small companies could quickly gain market share by doing something new and different.
The current bubble is mostly based around a disconnect between what a LLM can actually do, and the hype, VC money, and established tech giants trying to sell a vision of what it might be able to do with more time and investment. There’s little diversity in the tech this time, it’s just LLMs being stuffed into various roles, some of which have utility and many which don’t. That’s why the bubble will burst soon. For every interesting use, like summarizing code there’s an AI powered fridge nobody asked for and nobody cares about.
The other big difference is that while the dot com bubble had the big players participating, many of which are still around today, there was potential for a startup to come along and eat their lunch. Now we just have a bunch of massive tech corporations who are out of ideas, so they’re pushing AI because that’s all they have left to hype because growth must continue at all costs, even if the average consumer couldn’t care less about ChatGPT or CoPilot.
That’s just so sad.
You don’t make LLMs with the enormous amount of training data they require to work well without theft/piracy.
Are you starting to understand why people are upset about this?
If you worked hard, learned a craft, and spent countless hours honing it and I took your work without asking you and used it to enrich myself and my talentless tech bro buddies, how would you feel?
I really don’t get this. Nuclear isn’t dispatchable. It never was and never will be. You have to create heat from the fission reaction, use that to turn water into steam, and use the steam to drive turbines to generate electricity.
All of that takes time to ramp up which makes nuclear non-dispatchable. Compare it with a battery or pumped hydro where you can get power flowing anywhere from milliseconds to seconds.
Furthermore, nuclear is so expensive that it makes no economic sense to build new nuclear that would run as close to 24/7 as possible, let alone as a dispatchable source.
So this begs the question, did you already know this?
