Looking at the budget today, the UK is in managed decline. They are just slowly winding the country down, letting things age out and deteriorate. Keep kicking the can down the road for the next unlucky chancellor to deal with.

Theoretically, but in practice SMRs won't be useful for that. They still need a large and robust containment building, and nuclear grade security around it. They need a cooling pool or guaranteed supply of water.

A more practical idea for small fossil fuel stations is to turn them into spinning mass, to help provide inertia and a bit of energy storage. Or turn the site into a battery.

Automated but they have options for manual control and setting parameters of the autopilot. The window helps them be sure it is working as expected, and that instruments match what they can see. It's also very useful when they land.

They will just throw Rolls Royce some money to muck about with SMRs, before realizing what everyone already knows - they aren't better than traditional reactors, and nuclear in general is the most expensive form of energy we have.

Naturally the taxpayer and consumers will be on the hook for all this.

European standards do also award points for simply having certain safety systems installed. The top 5 star ranking is only available if the car has certain systems and they are enabled by default every time the car is started.

If that was the case then a) why would they go to American influences when the cars aren't even sold there, and b) why aren't the American companies doing it too?

They are just really good cars, and the fact that Americans can't buy them makes for some good rage-bait engagement.

It's not a solution for non-technical people, but can you use Cloudflare Zero Trust or similar for Plex?

I have my own Subsonic music server at home, using Navidrome. I set up Cloudflare Zero Trust so I can access it remotely via the web, with a secure Google login in front of it. You can use other authentication methods, it doesn't have to be Google. Passwords, 2FA, certificates, other providers.

For desktop, any browser works. For mobile I use Symfonium. It's not free, it's a cheap one-time purchase, but it works great with that set-up and means I can stream my music anywhere, without the need for a VPN.

They seem to have bought into the SMR hype, despite nobody having even demonstrated a viable prototype commercial design yet.

They need to be able to see outside, and glass is the most reliable way to facilitate that.

I'm not sure it has much effect on the value of the company... At least not in a very predictable way.
The buyback directly reduces the market cap of the company, but also directly increases the EPS.
I imagine it comes out to about a wash. However, what it does do is create a great opportunity to greatly enrich the people who are in charge of the buyback when the share price increases, at the expense of the corporation's viability, which feels like a breach in fiduciary responsibility to all the other shareholders.

But then again, maybe a majority of shareholders would agree on it, since their share prices are going to increase, because let's be real. Few people are investing for the purpose of having ownership of a corporation. They want those gains. They'll never be The Greater Fool.

Fixed.

Also more tolerant of you treating them like a moron, and more tolerant of you being a moron.
But ya, in terms of actual support for you problem? I'd say they're about even.

Spot on for Trump, but I'd call JD Vance anything but vacuous. He has a mind, and it's fucking malicious.

Oh ya?

I jest.
Of course the real problem is that you didn't understand the tool you were playing with.
You weren't using GPT-5, you were using GPT-5 mini.
I can replicate the behavior on GPT-5 mini without problem. On GPT-5, I tried 5 times, and not once did it invent a word.

Selecting a specifically dumbed down distilled model as evidence of an overarching concept is problematic for several reasons. Would you like me to explain them to you?

What's the difference between weather, and a simulation of the weather?
Simple- the weather can get you wet. The simulation can't.
But what if I place you in a box, and let the simulation pour water on you, or blow air in your face? Is it real then?

Words- are they real, or are they artificial? Either way- an LLM produces them- they are not simulated. They are real.
If you and an LLM produce the same words, are you real, and it fake?
Are its words fake, but yours real?

You're quick to try to claim that people who reject your magical-brain hypothesis can't tell the difference, but the fact is- you can't even define the difference in any way that passes scientific muster. When you know, you know, amirite?

The problem here is that you're trying to cram all that it is to be human into one word that it simply does not fit into.
My 21 year old niece is intelligent enough to understand this- why aren't you? Are you fake, and she real?

Why do you think every word that applies to a human is "human sounding"?

Do dogs have attention?
Do they become confused?
These are not "human sounding" words- they are words describing the behavior of something that considers.

You keep trying to redefine words to be anthropocentric.

Not remotely. Neither is the word attention limited to them, or the word intelligence.

The cascade of firing neurons that occurs when your attention shifts can be called attention, so I think we're just fine here.

I'm deliberately correctly using terms and refusing to let you claim them as exclusive.
Your illiteracy is evident.
