I mean no harm.
You should look at mitochondria:
Oops… it’s turbines all the way down.
The scientists didn’t joke about that tokamaks will be a great neutron factory/highest neutron flux available. Yes, neutron activation of the reactor walls/components is a problem that we need to solve. However, transmutation of lithium to tritium is required for the reactor to work in the long term, so having a high neutron flux source is a plus in this regard. (and a negative in all aspects of structural integrity…)
The volume amount of activated material that would come out from tokamaks is a fraction compared to the literal tens of tons half-burnt uranium that takes way too long to decay to safe level. The more angrier the radioactivity, the less time it takes to decay away.
Be in one fraction at once. H2O consist of differerent quantum-mechanical portions: para-water and ortho-water.
And it only gets weirder.
No. Don’t google para-hydrogen. You will break your brain.
Now, provide an example that you cannot, is impossible, to translate into French.
And I’ll accept your claim of unknowing is better than knowing.
Every technology invented is a dual edge sword. Other edge propulses deluge of misinformation, llm hallucinations, brain washing of the masses, and exploit exploit for profit. The better side advances progress in science, well being, availbility of useful knowledge. Like the nuclerbomb, LLM “ai” is currenty in its infancy and is used as a weapon, there is a literal race to who makes the “biggest best” fkn “AI” to dominate the world. Eventually, the over optimistic buble bursts and reality of the flaws and risks will kick in. (Hopefully…)
Sure it’s terrifying, but you can start a sparky plasma show in a resilient enough container and keep it going for hours and the microwave won’t break. (except maybe overheat.) The microwave will be fine as long as the arcs don’t reach the waveguide cover. (which would risk burning/shorting the magnetron.)
I have done the microwave grape plasma trick myself and started an arc in a microwave. The current between the two objects goes through a very narrow point, which is enough vaporize the contact point to plasma. This then can grow as the microwave continues to pump more energy into the spark.
Two new hobbies to keep me in the realitytm.
It’s just art and music. Plus a likely revival of old skill.
So this is it. The enshittification has reached slowlorris levels.
I spent solid 10min writing an useful answer and then looked up. Now I want my 10mins back.
Just wipe the screen clear from the goo, dummy.
Oh, this is a good one.
Do you know about ortho/para-H2O? It only gets weirder.
Nah, I’m not that paranoid and I need the mic for calls.
This might just push my fear of targeted ads enough to give in to my idea of a nearly soundproof box for my phone when I’m not using it. :(
Send it through the earth, you can reduce it theoretically to 42.5ms
This isn’t as ridiculous as it sounds and you just need a neutrino-beam… which has a horrible bandwidth (of 0.1 bits/s) plus the ridiculous upfront cost of running two particle-accelerators for a full-duplex link. (Google it up, this exists.)
Sugar is half bad, half good: the glucose part causes no harm and whole body can use it. The fructose part on otherhand is bad and has to/can only be processed by the liver first.
Yeah, it feels like I blinked and it’s now October already…
(2024 was and still is a heck of an year for me. I have almost climbed out of the ditch on this year. Yay!)
100% Nope: A episode from supernatural, where ghouls half way succeed to eat Sam. (I consider it as the most gruesome horror I have ever seen, and I don’t think I have the stomach to see it ever again. The blood draining is a … no.)
Yellow brick road on otherhand hits the weird places spot of SCP, which I can’t get enough. (not horror really, but still)
The point when the AI hallucinations become useful is the point where I raise my eye brows. This not one of those.
Fresh PWR fuel is ~4% U-235 and the rest is non-fissile uranium/cladding. ~95% of the potential energy still locked in the “waste” after spending ~2 years in the reactor. Breeder reactors would mean converting greater fraction of this mass into usable energy.
Running PWR core has be at +150 Bar to have +300*C outlet temp - so if something goes wrong it goes wrong like Fukushima. The fuel can stay in the core only until economics say running the plant at less than 100% design power isn’t profitable. Every 18/24 months the plant is needs to shutdown for maintance few a weeks to months. I don’t like PWRs.
“regular, i.e. non-breeder” MSRs that would just use uranium would be a massive improvement - both in safety and efficiency. Heat a massive silo of (secondary coolant) salt to +500*C with MSR, do the reactor repairs while this reserve runs the turbines, resume MSR. The issue is - politics, fear, and too little research in handling molten salts.
