A lot like those pictures of monkeys also.

Likewise with *BSD.

Not sure if I should mod that insightful or funny so I'll leave it to others to decide. Seems a little of both.

Much of the world's nuclear fleet is some form of government owned or operated. I have no particular problem with this. I'm not a fan of big government at all but providing necessities of life like power and water is one thing I can get behind. Same deal with other big engineering projects like hydro dams.

The cost of renewables obviously varies widely with how much storage you need, and that differs with the various deployment scenarios - on-grid, island and industrial - envisioned in the analysis I posted. For the latter two I think CCGTs are still the benchmark for cost, but battery backed renewables are certainly competitive in the former nowadays.

It's also just an app. Much easier to replace than physical infrastructure, and much lower barrier to entry. There won't be a ride-hailing vacuum for long.

Is that the burden now? I'd be real careful with that one.

Reality is that people who own a car can generally jump in and go anytime, whereas people who don't own a car have to rely on public transit, taxis, Uber, rentals or friends. This is not rocket surgery and should not really require explanation. Personal transportation is one of the greatest manifestations of individual freedom in the modern era. Maybe try talking to an older person who has lost their ability to drive and see what a huge loss of independence it represents. It is easy to discount other peoples freedoms that don't matter to you. That is not a left or right thing, everyone does it nowadays but that does not make it better.

Anywhere the airlines go I can go too, with suitable advance planning. A lot of people consider asphalt optional too.

Yes, no man is an island, but I was not speaking in a philosophical sense. Can't rely on others to understand context either apparently.

Yeah, I figured. I'd expect the press has to be in the same facility or very close to the steel mill for logistical reasons.

Waaay too much freedom being able to go wherever you want whenever you want. Much better to have to rely on others, in keeping with the "you will own nothing" ethos that is so popular nowadays.

No prob. Open source was certainly first to get the AI debugging treatment. I'm sure all the most critical code - OpenSSH, OpenSSL, Netfilter, etc - as well as the Linux kernel have been gone over pretty thoroughly by now. Other widely deployed code like nginx and ffmpeg likewise. The large companies with a lot of closed source code like MS are using the same tools and doing what we are discussing here in this thread, so hopefully they will be caught up soon as well. I have heard experts say they expect the frontier models to get much better at decompiling closed source binaries in the near future, so I'd expect another spurt as those come under closer scrutiny soon.

That's how the Republicans are targeting him.

Do you have a reference? Those are very different from the numbers I've seen, but those were calculated at the very beginning of what is admittedly a big project.

See, they rationalize too! Enjoy your climate change.

Interesting, thanks for that. I guess for whatever reason those are not suitable. I'm not an expert so I don't know if there are significant differences in the processes to forge aluminum vs steel but it looks like they are currently used to make aircraft parts. No mention of ingot sizes so that might be the difference as well. Did find this link interesting also;
