xia@lemmy.sdf.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How level is "level" to the naked human eye?English6·2 months agoI recall a carnival-type installation, were a whole house was built at an angle, and at the end of it they had a water spigot they turned on, and the water flowed “uphill” (to the human eye).
Nah… when you re-gift it, just say you drew it to keep THEM from regifting it.

Could you imagine an artifical mind actually trying to obey these? You can’t even get past #1 without being aware of the infinite number of things you could do cartesian-producted with all the consequential downstream effects of those actions until the end of time.

xia@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’English819·3 months agoAccording to GPT-4.1:
In 1959, Norway achieved a notable milestone by starting up its first nuclear reactor, the JEEP I (Joint Establishment Experimental Pile), located at Kjeller. This reactor was primarily used for research purposes, including early experiments with alternative nuclear fuels such as thorium. While JEEP I itself was not a thorium reactor per se, it laid the groundwork for subsequent Norwegian research into thorium as a nuclear fuel. This early phase demonstrated Norway’s scientific interest in thorium, leveraging its domestic thorium resources and contributing to later thorium reactor experiments.
