I make of that ... Finland = paradise. New England s' puritan self-reliant virtue has been corrupted by Boston , New York  & Philadelphia migrants.  And loss of the cod/salmon  industry.

I thought Finns ran their fireplaces 24/7/365. I mean, you need something to do < snow-melt --> water >  or scald ice off the blueberries even in August

I'm with you ... mostly. Those very very "old" star(systems)  at very very great distance(time) cause plenty of wonder. Maybe ( t< 0 ) turns out to be trivial ... kinda like students get hammered with "limits" when  learning calculus ... and then jump into difference equations where " --> 0 "  tran sforms into  "approached 8.57".

Logic is over-rated ... has been since Aristotle. Human intuition is based on transformations of sensory  data ...  which transformations lead to evolutionary advantage, No higher < valuator > of "truth" exists as  ( long-time average ) only those obeying this constraint get to tell stories and write books.

So,  you would "mechanically" model this anisotropic gravitation  as a {round) spongy-ball -- uniformly compressed : then released  --  with coefficients-of-stiffness varying with < r, theta , phi > ? Given a dose of spherical harmonics,  a  hungry grad-stud might whip that out over a weekend for Mondays tea & cookies lecture.

In a similar vein: the speed with which NOBLE prizes were given for "DARK"-energy and "INFLATION"  ... so-to-speak analogies of analogies ... always made me suspicious . Me suspects some < old boi > network was really hauling-azz.

Your comment about "limits" borders on a < know-nothing > agenda. Anyone who masters  a tool has probed the limits/edge-cases of that tool. The master knows his own tool limits and modifies behavior or changes/develops new tools accordingly. Discovery of a new constraint  ( or application of ) on a tool is welcomed by all users.

I read the paper. Perhaps / certainly AI does NOT understand what it produced. But ... I doubt any single human can understand the paper & its proof. Non-linear  NS equations are THAT bad. Bet some grad-stud already has his Zimm Crothers ( digital/mag-lev ) viscometer already purring ...  looking for the divergence.

They won't be doing it themselves. They'll have to contract out. Most nuclear plants use Bechtel, Sargent and Lundy and like a dozen other NRC certified contractors. People work their asses off to get into those programs, but you can easily get stuck in a situation where you're moving every 2~4 years to a new nuclear plant. People who want families often try to get FTE positions.

The big danger is draining people from TVA or other power providers. Data center electricians are pulling in $200k/year right now! A loan like this could draw out people from other plants for that big payout. But in reality, unless they plant to build new plants and use this to train up new nuclear workers, they're just going to hurt the existing energy industry.

But that's the big issue: no one can build a new reactor today. And no, not because of NRC regulations. America literally has no steel plants large enough to create a nuclear pressure vessel. These things are massive, and historically had to be transported by river or have specialized roads put in to move them. The last steel plant that could make these closed decades ago. The smaller reactors people are talking about are totally non-viable. Nuclear works because of the scale. Each pressure vessel and reactor core can provide 1Gw ~ 1.5Gw of power. All three TVA nuclear plants (max of 7 reactors between SQN, WBN and BFN plants .. I think only 6 are operational) produce between 6Gw ~ 7Gw of power. Keep that in mind when you hear about data centers needing like 20Gw. That's a fucking insane amount of energy!

American autos reached perfection in the  late 1950s &  1960s.  Everything you could want. from AC  to 6-speed std to dual 4-bangers to oil-float ride. Start with the 1956 Chevy convert ... and end with the 1970 GTO convert.  And those convertibles didn't leak in storms. All current   auto innovation is degeneracy.

My sister-in-law is in Telluride now .... and I  pray her  traveling companion  protects her from this toxic waste.

The argument is ... a culture does not want "digital heroin" to drive behavior.  Self-directed & self-disciplined yeoman is the gold-standard  cultural goal  ... as self-financed "subsistence" is the economic gold standard.  Who/what/how the < rent seekers / drug-pushers > are driven "underground"  varies with the culture , environs and leadership. For example -- a well-maintained monarchy has a straight-forward solution for a toxic klad, while a constitutional mercantile republic must endure huge complexity.  Let's see long-term how parliamentary  Auzzis do ...  with-out guns or righteous hate or digital felony or a real Navy.

Probably better USA choosing the Germans  rather than Stalin in WW2. We could still have supported the Brits & Finns (  actually Hitler initially did ! ) and suppressed Japanese expansion. Stalins' Kommi Russia was worst-of-the-worst ... just as American Neo-progressives / AOC-Demorats  are worse than home-grown fascists.

Why so many racists? Worldwide.   Because straight white Christian  "seers"  built the modern  Western world. And that Western world is more humane ,  more farsighted and more productive than the people who created Oceantic, Asian , South American and African worlds. Westerners really gave bitch Gaia a good azzwhole fucking ...  for the first time ... and all other cultures have rushed to emulate us. Were cultures other than  SWCbuilders first in ... yes in many things. You DO understand that ... "white" has nothing to do with skin color ... "straight" has nothing to do with sex ... and "Christian" references no spaghetti-monster in the sky.
