People who aren't you, but who are near you. They also matter. We all know quite well you don't care about those people, as you've let us know on numerous occasions, but they do matter.

Suck them both.

"buildings won't be moved and created just because of your romantic notions. Juvenile delusions."

You just replied to a well known bot some clown has created by training a LLM on rsilvergun's posts. And you did it by saying something really stupid. Nice work there, sport.

I am not allowed to install software on my work machine and there's an approval process. IT can have a real text editor but I can't.

Granted this is partly a problem with my employer but it wasn't a problem until Microsoft ruined software I was using daily.

And why do they keep giving them?

At this point it's natural to conclude that B1zX is run by literal Nazis.

Some bitch came along and down modded my last three comments again. What a shock. It's too bad slashdot is now anti fact and anti science.

That would be the Sanyo Shinkansen then, and it's 100% grade separated, and always has been.

If it was near the Marine Corps base it would have been the Sanyo Main Line. I don't know what the historic speeds were, but these days the maximum is 130 kph. The Shinkansen line is some distance from there.

130 kph (about 80 mph) might not seem like much, but it can appear pretty quick when you are very close to the train at a crossing. The Shinkansen line was around 250 kph when you were there I think, now up to 300.

Meh, this kind of crap is what peer review is for. As long as he learns his lesson I'd be fine with letting him keep going. I mean he's still going to MIT so he's not an idiot.

I mean we all act like he got away with this but he was caught during the initial process of peer review. The system really does work.

We all like to complain about how there's thousands and thousands of papers that are just garbage but here's the thing so what? If the papers aren't doing any harm and they're just sitting out there then it's not a big deal. It's not like we are spending all that much money on any of this crap. I'm sure you can come up with a number that sounds big because we have a 33 trillion dollar economy so yeah you could find somebody who maybe got a grant and did some bad research for a few hundred thousand. But in the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal

I mean think about how much money we waste on other crap. Human beings are just wasteful creatures. And we kind of need to be to keep our civilization and economy going anyway.

It would be kind of neat to see the algorithms for AI hand it off to a GPU or one of the fancy cores on a modern CPU.

But I can't see that really happening because machine learning algorithms requires so much processing power and modern graphics do the same so you just don't have a lot of head room.

they'll do the same with this shit.

Yeah, us old farts won't cave, but the kids will just grow up with AI Slop as normal. They won't know what they're missing.

The same Technology that made the "white man" more fit is also now destroying the environment and making us all unfit.

Ukraine can't be Nazi because it is not operated along Nazi ideals, and because the majority of the population is not made up of Nazis, not because of who sits in the big chair. Having Nazis in it doesn't make it Nazi. Nazis went all over the place, and there are descendants of Nazis who may still hold Nazi ideals all over the place. Ukraine has a neo-Nazi problem, but so does the USA. Do you call the USA a Nazi country? It sure does look a lot closer than Ukraine right now.

Probably they are tired of people's stupid fucking responses. This is approximately the first time I've pointed that out without getting downmodded, and it's not too late for that to happen either. Only one of these proposed reactors has received type approval and then NuScale decided not to build one because it wouldn't be profitable even if someone else split the costs with them. My only question is, are the people I see frothing for SMRs invested in the scams, or just so dazzled by promises of shiny shit that they will attack anyone who points out the emperor's lack of clothing? I suppose that this can only be answered on a case by case basis, but I'm having trouble imagining a credible third option.
