Narayama Murthy was a mistake.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
Tens of thousands of radioactive fuel fragments escaped from the Dounreay plant between 1963 and 1984, polluting local beaches, the coastline and the seabed. Fishing has been banned within a two-kilometre radius of the plant since 1997.
Since 2008, over 2,300 radioactive particles have been recovered from the seabed, with 351 removed by a remotely operated underwater vehicle this summer.
The most radioactive of the particles are regarded by experts as potentially lethal if ingested. Similar in size to grains of sand, they contain caesium-137, which has a half-life of 30 years, but they can also incorporate traces of plutonium-239, which has a half-life of over 24,000 years…
The plant’s operator at the time, the UK Atomic Energy Authority, was fined £140,000.
Oh that’ll teach em.
I still think we should replace much of our fossil-fuel energy with nuclear, but let’s never call it “green.” Energy comes at an extremely high cost. This kind of thing makes it hard to advocate for nuclear (although I think we have safer methods now).

I’m curious about what this had said.

So it’s like he’s been vaccinated.

there is a bubble of “USA” around him.
I like this visual. It’s like a force field.

That’s really amazing. Their joke article was hilarious even as a joke. But the fact that they really bought it is beautiful.

I thought that was a joke. But regular news sites are running the story. So maybe it’s real?
- Comment on Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? 5 days ago:
Best answer yet IMO. The cohesive experience is essential to the branding, and low threshold for entry.
- Comment on Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? 5 days ago:
Imagine if there were two twitters, and you only sign up for one but you can read and comment on posts for both.
Now imagine if anybody can install their own Twitter, and anybody else can sign up on either one, and they can all talk to each other like that.
- Comment on Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? 5 days ago:
Star power. High production values. Less complex (appears to be more centralized, immediately easy to conceptualize as “twitter but not right wing”)

That’s partly why I’m here. I don’t want a big place where every normie shows up, and it just becomes facebook. Does this specific sever want to become a mega-platform?

I wonder, if I specialize in fediverse development, would that help me get a job? Is there work in the fediverse?
- Comment on Microsoft and OpenAI ‘bromance’ begins to fray 4 weeks ago:
No they’re not, guy. I aggressively dismiss any legal vomit that claims they are.
- Comment on Microsoft and OpenAI ‘bromance’ begins to fray 4 weeks ago:
I don’t care what Altman said. Microsoft isn’t a “bro” and cannot take part in a “bromance.” Same with OpenAI. These are megacorporations using buzzwords. No need to mutilate ourselves into idiotic commercials for them.
- Comment on Microsoft and OpenAI ‘bromance’ begins to fray 4 weeks ago:
It’s not a ‘bromance’ if they’re not dudes. They are companies.

Yeah Microsoft should take the risk here, not American citizens.
- Comment on Three Mile Island owner seeks $1.6 billion federal loan to restart nuclear plant for Microsoft AI facility 1 month ago:
So let Microsoft pay to restart it.
I guess it the government gives them the loan then the gov’t gets interest payments, which must help inflation over time. Assuming that they make those payments…
