It looks at the cost of power generation
Yes.
But then you added the requirement of 90% uptime which is isn’t how a grid works. For example a coal generator only has 85% uptime yet your power isn’t out 4 hours a day every day.
Nuclear reactors are out of service every 18-24 months for refueling. Yet you don’t lose power for days because the plant has typically two reactors and the grid is designed for those outages.
So the only issue is cost per megawatt. You need 2 reactors for nuclear to be reliable. That’s part of the cost. You need extra bess to be reliable. That’s part of the cost.

This is old news now! Here’s a link from 5 years ago. forbes.com/…/new-solar--battery-price-crushes-fos…
This is from last year: lazard.com/…/2023-levelized-cost-of-energyplus/
As to uptime, they have the same legal requirements as all utilities.
I was pro nuke until finding out solar plus grid battery was cheaper.

Solar with Battery grid storage is now cheaper than nuclear.

We can’t have access to these things now, but we used to.
??? There was no change. It was always illegal. This was a petition to change it to be legal and the petition was denied.
Despite it being illegal, Internet Archive has hosted and I hope will continue to host roms collections like tiny best set go.

Agi and LLM are two different things that fall under the general umbrella term “AI”.
That a particular LLM can’t be censored doesn’t say anything about its abilities.

If you are bothered by those complaints, try Arch.

Physical rentals are still legal. This is only about the legality of online rom downloads.
- Comment on AI are like shitty palm readers/fortune tellers 2 weeks ago:
Starting off with an insult, nice.
“claimed” ??? As if I’m making up a story because I’m being paid by Sam Altman?
“Trusting their future to hallucinating”
My sales support engineering friend of course didn’t just copy whatever chatgpt wrote. He proofread it and fixed it. It still saved hours over starting from nothing and then still needing to proofread.
I SAID IT WON’T THINK FOR YOU.
- Comment on AI are like shitty palm readers/fortune tellers 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure what you are trying to get out of AI? Therapy?
I used it to help write an Excel script for my wife because I didn’t want to learn VBScript. It worked amazingly. I’ve talked to other programmers who have done the same. Another friend won a multi million dollar contract with a bid where chatgpt filled in all the boilerplate saving him hours of work.
AI is a time saver like a pocket calculator. It’s not going to think for you. But the productivity gains are real.
- Comment on Militaries Are Rushing to Replace Human Soldiers with AI-Powered Robots. That Will Be Disastrous, Experts Warn. 2 weeks ago:
It’s a nice thought but they referenced land mines. The idea that an AI shooting a soldier could cause a conflict spiral could happen with a land mine. Not to mention humans make mistakes too. A human soldier could the same (and has). Automated sentry guns have already been around for over 10 years.
- Comment on Danny DeVito is an absolute unit. 3 weeks ago:
I’ve never seen Danny Devito in person. He could be over 6 feet tall like John Rhys-Davies in Lord of the Rings and everything is camera tricks to make you think he’s short.
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
Show me where I said that you were wrong.
You called my comment, which contained no insults, an insult.
If you can say the 7 day creation of the Bible isn’t literal, then Jesus’s resurrection can be non literal too. That’s not an insult. That’s pointing out hypocrisy.
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
You dismiss anyone who believes in the entire Bible as reading it wrong, yet find it insulting when it is suggested that you are the one reading it wrong.
I’m only pointing out hypocrisy.
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
Have you ever considered that I do believe in a literal Jesus that lived and died.
I know. That’s why I brought it up and you reacted so hostile.
You pick and choose what to believe. You believe in Jesus only because it’s in the Bible but don’t believe in the parts Bible when it’s inconvenient.
Science memes is for science jokes, not Christian apologetics.
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
It’s science memes. It’s not serious. I can reply with whatever I want.
Funny how you think only your posts are appropriate.
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
You want it both ways.
And I see the insults are starting because you have no reasonable reply.
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
It’s fine if you don’t read the Bible literally. As long as you also accept that Jesus didn’t actually die and resurrect. You didn’t read it literally, did you?
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
You handwaved away glaring inaccuracy in what is purported to be the word of God with “it’s just a few paragraphs before the story”.
If you get to pick and choose what is truth, then anyone else can do it too.
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
Got it close? It’s wrong in almost every way possible. Plants before the sun? No insect pollinators until after the sun and birds before land animals.
It’s completely random.
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
The excuse that the Hebrew word for day could mean an extremely long period of time doesn’t work because plants and trees were created before the Sun and insects (pollinators).
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
So you are saying when the Bible says Jesus died for our sins, it doesn’t actually mean he actually died, it’s only a metaphor.
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
The Bible has a long list of names with birthdays and who begat whom. It came from Irish archbishop and scholar James Ussher.
If you believe in the Bible, you get a 4000 year old Earth.
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
That still doesn’t work because plants and trees are created before the sun. Not to mention the lack of pollinators because God hadn’t yet created insects.
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
If it wasn’t a day then how did all the plants and trees live without sunlight?
- Comment on Eat lead 3 weeks ago:
The original wording can’t be read as eon instead of a day because plants and trees can’t last for an eon before the sun is created.
