You could also just send it to the moon.
You could also just send it to the moon.
It does not need to get to the sun.
It just needs to get out of orbit and on a general, slow trajectory into space.
You can engineer around that. Its actually not a hard engineering problem at all to design a safety shell for the payload.
The solution to getting rid of waste of all kinds is to continue to reduce the cost of escape launches.
Starship is targeting $20/ kg and under.
The annual cost to store nuclear waste starts at $200 / KG and goes up to $2000 / KG.
IE, it is very soon going to be 10x, to 100x cheaper to just launch this stuff into space with a general solar trajectorm, than to store it.

OpenAI is not even a market leader anymore.
Most enterprises are using Anthropic as it is superior at most tasks. Meanwhile, Google is mopping up the consumer space.
How is that question relevant anymore?
Almost every action this administration takes is illegal. They don't care.
Er wait... they did?
Why are they suing Midjourney and not Google or OpenAI? A bit weird.
Point #1: Global population has for all meaningful purposes has already peaked at around 10B and is going to start rapidly shrinking. Technically, the UN thinks the ACTUAL peak MAY be in 2080 - but guess what, every time they look at the data, the peak moves closer.. because population growth is shrinking exponentially, the slowdown is not measured well. https://ourworldindata.org/un-...
Point #2: We already have way more food and resources that needed. It is just not evenly distributed. Every day 20% of the food we produce globally is wasted for one reason or another. The idea we do not have enough resources for the population, is pure fiction.
Point #3: AI is going to destroy all of the jobs, regardless of the population. Either we as a society will reinvent how the economy works, or we won't.
Ive been coding for 30 years.. I was never taught to touch type, and can't. I type exclusively with 2 fingers (pointer and middle) and thumb on each hand. I can manage about 40wpm and don't need to look at the keyboard.
You figure it out.
International students are how most universities balance the books.
They are not subsidized in any way - in fact international students pay 2x, 3x, sometimes 5x the tuition of domestic students.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS FUND UNIVERSITIES. FULL STOP.
There are only 2 possible alternatives
- Dramatically raise tuition for domestic students to cover the shortfalls
- Get more grants and government handouts from taxpayers.
Pocket is still extremely useful for travelling. Being able to have a whole bunch of content I can read on my phone OFFLINE without an internet connection is very handy.
Pocket is a valuable IP and tool that has millions and millions of users.
Sure, maybe Mozilla can't afford to run it anymore and can't figure out how to make it proitable. That doesn't mean it should just die. WHy can't they either sell it off, or at least offer to donate it off to the community to run somehow?
It's nuts how organizations just constantly EOL tools. It's bad enough when someone like Google does it, but I find it even more egrigous when a non profit for the public good like Mozilla does it.
Meanwhile we can't even make a "smart thermostat" last more than a decade.
