I mean yes, Microsoft and slopcode probably plays a role, but it only got really bad once the LLM mass scraping started, for which I assume Github is also a major target.

And running your own public git forge is a real PITA these days for similar reasons.

The calculation is wrong by a factor of 1000, and even if it were correct, that’s like a week of typical container imports to the US 🤡

Humans have been around for 100,000 years or so, in various forms, so why in all our the known history, have we not been better yet?

Uhm, for like 95% of that time people have usually been better? There is little opportunity to become a dictator in a small group of hunter and gatherers and anthropological and archiological evidence points to many of these groups having been strongly egalitarian.

Hmm, yeah. Old burned bricks can be too powdery for regular anchors to hold well. There are anchors meant to be used with an special putty you put into the hole first and which seep into the brick to some extend.

But an 8mm screw is fat enough to rub sides of the anchor as it is inserted because I suppose the anchor is only 1mm thick at the opening.

It is really unclear what you mean by this.

Using these plastic anchors is basically a destructive process, so I don’t see an issue with the screw cutting into the plastic.

Another issue is often that you have hollow core bricks and thus the anchor ends up partially in the air, maybe double-check that this isn’t the case?

If you base your argument on fan-fiction then there is little point in discussing this further 🤷

The safty regulations were put into place because they proved to be necessary due to serious (and costly to repair) construction defects found in all of those reactors that were put up in such a short time. And not a single operator of a nuclear power plant will ever pay for the storage costs of the nuclear waste, because as with fossile fuels that is almost entirely externalized to the society at large and future generations.

I wish nuclear power operators had to accout for all their waste, but that isn’t true at all. And the rest of you comment is equal levels of ignoring reality.

We need to get off of dirty energy ASAP.

Exactly, and nuclear energy is the opposite of that. It takes decades to build and those non-existing micro-reactors are the latest investor scam that make evel less economic and technical sense than regular sized reactors.

The project description sounds very interesting, but the titles of the research papers they published don’t seem all that related? Maybe I am missing something 🤔

Some Countries don’t have Uranium and have to buy it from Countries like Russia

It’s actually the urainium processing that is outsourced to Russia. The nuclear fuel processing is complicated and basically only makes sense to have if you need it for nuclear weapons production.

But another issue is that urainium mining is quite damaging to the environment, so countries like France like to outsource it to former colonies like Niger, which tells a lot of about power dynamics at play. Germany for example has sufficient uranium deposits that were mined in the past, but they abandoned that long before shutting down their reactors.

Aside from it being simply outdated and uneconomical, and given the community you are asking this in: there is an well studied argument that nuclear power is inherently authoritarian because of the necessary security requirements (and to a lesser extend centralisation of power production).

It produces unmaintainable code that is of dubious legality aside from a whole lot of other reasons why LLMs are doing more harm than good.

My recommendation would be to not vibe code 🤷

Not personally involved, no. But I think they are mostly based in Berlin?

Have a look at https://karrot.world/ which does the community aspect of some of what you propose quite well.

You are in violation of Codeberg’s ToS if it is vibe coded.

You can buy a special dishwasher cleaning powder that can better deal with fat build up in the internal drain. Sometimes that helps and it is the least messy option.

I think this article goes into some details why what you describe is happening: https://hermit-tech.com/blog/ai-mania-is-eviscerating-global-decisionmaking

And yes, LLM written code is the asbestos of our time that will take decades to clean up.

he article’s discussion of “Workism” encapsulates some of this, but all the problems it describes were still there many years ago before the “threat of AI”.

Yes, that is kinda the point of the article, no? All these problems are not new, but the AI situation might boil it over to the point where people quit all together and never look back in mass (as opposed to the occasional burnout that caused this so far).

This is just a rebuttal video for responses to this short one: https://youtu.be/ZRJgYCi1vvY

It’s for example explained in length in Graeber’s last book The Dawn Of Everything (with plenty of archeological evidence). Worth a read 👍
