Technology@lemmy.world•A major watchdog says data centers are wreaking havoc on North America's power gridEnglish
61·8 days agoLike the “hasnt left the lab in 75 years” thorium reactors (Which current designs still need enriched uranium)? and the recycle reactors that produce weapons grade plutonium (Of course, also via enriched uranium)? Id love to see you
No I dont mean those, I mean the CANDU’s, a viable system that has been operating for around the same amount of time thorium has been in development hell (again, 75 years).
Are you trying to say america has never had a nuclear disaster on record? Cause its pretty easy to google that US has had more nuclear accidents in the 2000’s than canada has in the past century. The Three Mile Island meltdown was probably the worst nuclear accident in north america, its hardly reasonable to ignore it. Unless you count uranium mining accidents, cause then the Church Rock uranium mill takes the crown.
And which country has ~2000 nuclear reactors? I must have missed this in my research, with those numbers they account for approximately 4x the total number of reactors in the world, a surprising oversight. (Or are you doing some football math that 94/19 = 100x? Cause even if 94/19=5x then per capita america is still lacking)

2·8 days agoDamn, I still see some available on aliexpress but it looks like they aren’t stocking any more.
Probably taken out by the ram shortage like everything fun.

61·8 days agoAnd developed a reactor that doesnt need enriched uranium, removing the risk of weapons development.
And have been one of the few countries to deploy reactors under budget and on time.

Canada is a world leader in nuclear and number 3 for hydro for example.

2·9 days agoGet an orange pi 800?
Admittedly it is pretty confusing, but its spec describes it as “json with functions”, and once you get a handle on the recursive aspect of it (and that it kinda smushes multiple imported jsons together), its not too bad.
Stupid useful too
Am I having a stroke or are you intentionally describing nixos
Well yeah how am I supposed to fit systemd on a milkv duo of ram? My gen z brain can only handle compiling a kernel to minimize its footprint, hardly even scraping the surface of linux experience.
(Non sarcastically though, why would anyone under 30 not know about systemd? Sure mainstream OS’ have more users than ever, but thats cause the world is techier than ever - growing up with fiber makes getting distro and tutorials trivial. I theorise youre getting pulled into the boomer mindset of “this person online does this so is an accurate representation of an entire generation”, which is kinda foolish.)
(PPS I know some gen z’s who dont even know what a file or folder is, so I’m not saying everyone is techy, but just that is almost statistically gaurenreed some people will be with a gen z population of almost billion people).
(PPPS, yeah Im talking about the 64mb milkv duo. No its not fun. But fuck is it informative.)

Programming@programming.dev•What We Lost the Last Time Code Got CheapEnglish
2·9 days agoI mean its more like self driving cars than cars themselves; it can work, but also steering wheels were created by the devs for a reason - even if most are too lazy to understand that reason.
Like I’d agree hand coding in assembly is (mostly) useless these days, but honestly I feel like the efficiency problems ai is trying to solve were largely solved 50 years ago with compilers.
(and like isnt digesting large outputs the entire point of being an engineering level dev? like if youre just there to pray to the software gods, you’d do much better as a CRUD script kiddie anyways)

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How likely is it that there's an animal on earth that's smarter than human beings in key areas?English
21·10 days agoPhysics is a mathematical model with the most proven utility to humans.
If you have a model more applicable to a situation, youre free to use it, but its pretty unlikely to be as broadly applicable as modern mathematical physics (A thousand times so when considering computers).
But yeah the study of physics is 100% math (And its not 100% a perfect model of reality! Thats why we study it).

Technology@lemmy.zip•Roses are Red... I read the front-page... Microsoft quietly deletes Windows 11 doc pushing 32GB RAM for gaming after outrageEnglish
2·13 days agoTheres a couple options from the past 5 or so years, you can find most of them here, most notably DRM native context virgl can approach native speeds.
There is some concerns about isolation, so its not an enterprise solution - but I believe chromeos currently uses DRM native virgl to run a steam gaming VM, and its android subsystem within a VM.
Theres also another couple options that are less async, more secure but quite a lot slower, and less optimised to each device.
(of course there is also passthrough and vGPUs, but like you mentioned these have higher hardware requirements)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why aren't Linux-based mobile operating systems (apart from Android) used more widely?English
13·15 days agoThat and an actively hostile hardware environment to open source dev in the aarch world.
OS’ on x86 are also a nerdy niche, yet Linux numbers are growing by the day, even seeing large vendors moving to first part support. None of this is allowed to exist in the mobile market exclusively for the profit margins of a few companies.
Side note imagine how cool it would be in a world without that enshitification, old phones could be recycled for 90% of pi projects, with better specs than the most expensive pi.
Finally, the first negative efficiency solar panel

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•I'm sure the AI will make it run even faster.English
3·19 days agoThe only substance I can see to it is when do you draw the line from a modified Debian (or Ubuntu) setup to a “new” distro?
If you start with an Ubuntu image its technically possible to ship of Theseus it right into an Arch image, but you could argue the default config of both is best representative of the actual distro maintainers goal (even if irrelevant to power users).
(Saying this all as a NixOS user with a system that hardly even looks like Linux sometimes so maybe I’m a bit biased on how blurry all the lines are lmao)

You may not realise this, but a historical problematic influencer called Adolf Hitler was actually an oxygen addict, and so by referencing a breathable atmosphere youre being incredibly antisemitic.
Hope this helps!
