agarwaen163on Please don't rearrange our shoes when we turn up, paramedics in Japan urge

if you do need them you're not going to have time to go get them as an Emergency Responder. I think the pragmatic course then is to disregard etiquette and tradition for safety and practicality in a general sense.

agarwaen163on Smaller reactors bring nuclear power closer to fulfilling its promise

Sounds like you're the one who's been lied to if you still believe the anti nuclear rhetoric. Study it more, it behooves you.

agarwaen163on Smaller reactors bring nuclear power closer to fulfilling its promise

The people protesting nuclear honestly shouldn't be allowed to vote if they claim they're clean energy due to the apparent lack of critical thought. Seriously, if you're an actual engineer or scientist, this statement is self evident.

Your last point is entirely backwards and missed the scaling concept entirely. I suggest you watch a documentary on the Model T. The point being that these aren't civil projects once it's modular. The prices and material are what's being optimized. To compare to large RPVs and BWRs efficiency is idiotic as that's the only place they beat SMRs and the known downside to SMRs which is the point of scaling it.

It has always been a regulatoryu issue. As given by the fact Valar has a microreactor currently running just to disrpove your thesis.

Your point is moot, it's the plan with almost all SMRs other than like the Deep Fission type of lazy ideas.

What about Valar Atomics?

Except Valar already did it earlier this year.

Are you forgetting Valar Atomics exists buddy? Or Aalo, or Antares or Radiant?

agarwaen163on Psychometric Jailbreaks Reveal Internal Conflict in Frontier Models

I'm not shocked at all. This is how the tech works at all, word prediction until grokking occurs. Thus like any good stochastic parrot, if it's smart when you tell it it's a doctor, it should be neurotic when you tell it it's crazy. it's just mapping to different latent spaces on the manifold

agarwaen163on Rust panics under the hood, and implementing them in .NET

I have had the same issue writing rust libraries for things like performant (Gb/s) network log analyzers. Agree this is one of the weak points of the language in my relatively amateur Rust experience. I also faced the rare cargo dependency bug, but still better than alternatives.

agarwaen163on Training of Physical Neural Networks

Well, this is particularly frustrating because PNN is already taken as well, by the (imo) much more novel idea of Physics Informed Neural Networks (aka PINNs or PNNs).

Why this isn't called Hardware Neural Nets is beyond me.
