Isn't fusion power not as clean as people say it is?

The Practicalities of actual fusion reactors make this seem a lot less appealing than I think I grew up hearing.

I'm happy to see china continue to pump resources into their clean energy mix, but at the same time it feels like this entire concept might end up being more of a meme than we think.

SLS is on track to be more expensive when adjusted for inflation per moon mission than the Apollo program.

You do realize that Artemis III requires 15 Starship launches just to fuel the thing enough to get to the moon? Why are you comparing it to Apollo?

NASA still has the SLS.

NASA is Already changing it's plans because of a lack of a starship to test so I would say whether or not the Artemis mission gets delays by another ten years or if SpaceX gets shitcanned and they use the SLS depends entirely on their next flight test

Hopefully between this and the mess they've gotten themselves into with the FAA and EPA and Texas Environmental authority, the US government will get their head out of their ass and take the Artemis contract away from this idiot and SpaceX.

If the primary way they "save taxpayer money" per launch is skirting regulations and law around the environment and labor, we don't need to keep supporting them.

I don't think it would last long as a clean implementation.

The problem with having a completely open algorithm for discovery, you give spammers an instruction manual for how to consistently get to the top of the rankings.

Eventually these systems would always get abused and become completely filled with useless nonsense.

An alternative is to have the discovery completely exist on the client side, but I'm not sure how that would even work given the way activitypub works.

Personally I think any social media recommendation/discovery system is a dark pattern.

There's a major section of mastodon users who like mastodon because it doesn't have any recommendation algorithms. Both from the side of "I don't want to be told what to click on" and the "I don't want an algorithm surfacing my posts in a way I'm not in complete control of"

This might curse it to forever be the platform with the smaller number of users, but the nice thing about activitypub is that there may be other services/clients that will be willing to take up that mantle for those that want it.

DirectML sucks but ROCm is great, but you need to check if the software you want to use works with ROCM. Also note there's only like 4 cards that work with ROCm as well.

[–] WalnutLum@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

ROCm is comparable but very few applications work out of the box with it.

Most of middle-Florida is going to go away. If we’re lucky, only for a few days or weeks.

The tinfoil hat in me is telling me this is a play to give them reason to not certify the election
