Technology and workforce are not the limitation of nuclear.

Likely condenses into dust in midair and gets blown out.

I don't think TBMs (tunnel boring machines) have the same problems as mechanical deep-well drills. For instance, you can replace worn components of a TBM without extracting the entire mechanism from 100s of meters of earth. Whereas vaporizing a 10-meter wide tunnel would require an insane amount of energy. Plus you'd have to deal with the slag trying to flow back toward your equipment.

55 is a tiny number in manufacturing.

Why not also a multi-array List?

It is buried while it runs. At end-of-life, you dig it up and properly dispose of it (whatever that process may be).

Nuclear fuel is about 20x cheaper than diesel (per unit energy).

You don't need distribution for a small enough reactor -- you use the electricity on site.

Ideally, the reactor would not need service until end-of-life (e.g. ~10 years). That way, it can be encased in concrete and buried.

"Too Expensive, Too Slow, and Too Risky"

Because they are still too big. They must be very small. Fuel efficiency is less important than creating economies of scale in manufacturing.

I suspect that you mean "Police told me they didn't have any way to track it." Maybe they had a way but no motivation.

It might only be viable if the majority of materials come from off-Earth, like the moon.

All nuclear power is also extra heat for the earth.

"hopefully the price of this rocket to get stuff off of earth is dirt cheap"

This is not a launch technology.

Plug-in hybrids, that is.

Just because memories are not persisted? Or some other reason?

True, but they win despite that.

Another option is to do N sequential candidate tests for each fresh random candidate. Where N is something that gets you most of the speed advantage of doing all sequential tests. Maybe like N=16.

Nice write-up!

It's easier in space. I suspect it will happen there first and predominantly.

Interesting title by justice.gov. Tax evasion is illegal regardless of your background / investment portfolio, so why relevant? Sowing sentiment?

Your comment suggests that you believe crash-only software to be inherently less reliable than the alternative. But that is opposite of the stated goal and supposed benefits.

Idempotent APIs + sane timeouts + retries.

I just watched this interesting Node.js doc (Open-source Node.js was purchased by a corp and there was some drama along the way).

CO2 emissions are ripping and will continue to do so in China and India. You can't stop that train, either. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-co2-emissions-per-...

You can't stop this train.

It would be nice to see a demo video.

"Sagittarius A has the combined mass of several million suns. It lurks at the heart of the galaxy and formed not from an exploding star but the collapse of vast clouds of dust and gas."

How is that known? Isn't "dust and gas" also how stars form?

If this is really fusion, is it not a possible avenue for a fusion power plant here on Earth?

Yet most murders go unsolved.

So silly to call it engineering.
