arez··on Secretary Granholm to announce major scientific breakthrough by DOE [video]
it's not about powering something powerful, I'm not sure if you're actually a "kid" like your username suggests, but when generating energy we're looking about the input and output of Watts or Megawatts. So how much energy do I have to put in to get to which output. What you do with that energy doesn't matter, it can be a server farm, it can be your grandmas kettle

> If this is really a long term issue more air cooling could be installed. if this is actually possible, nobody knows. I never heard anyone suggesting it

> nuclear waste is basically a non issue anti-nuclear people bring up when they don't have any serious arguments.

so what about the Hanford Nuclear Reservation leakage, Chernobyl, Fukushima. In fukushima they just put their waste water back into the ocean, it will just diluted right?

> This is another one of these basically fake issue that anti-nuclear people use to spread panic. how is it spreading panic when there're actual concerns and evidence about the problems caused by nuclear. We can use nuclear power plants but everyone should be aware of the issues that come with it and not argue based on ideaology. Calling it a none-issue and delusional fantasies of anti-nuclear people without giving arguments doesn't give much confidence in the claims you make.

arez··on The five-year engineering feat Germany pulled off in months
france can probably fix their maintenance issues with their nuclear power plants, but I don't think they're able to fill the rivers with enough cool water to keep running their plants and that's not the only problem. We didn't even start talking about nuclear waste. Germany tried to find a good place for that for decades without luck and most containers start to leak after a couple of years already.
arez··on The five-year engineering feat Germany pulled off in months
exactly, it might not have a big CO2 footprint, but that's not the whole picture, we just don't have any container that doesn't start leaking radioactive shit after some years, so is it really an alternative
arez··on The five-year engineering feat Germany pulled off in months
and how does frances choice of going all in on nuclear but having higher electricity prices than germany go down?

It really doesn't make much sense of speaking is superlatives, sure Germany did a mistake here with relying on russian gas and so did most of europe. Problem is, you have to rely on someone, is russia better than saudi-arabia? Irak? You have to rely on something and europe sees now the consequences

arez··on The price of ‘sugar free’: are sweeteners as harmless as we thought?
drinking 4 cokes a day is an actual problem in itself btw
arez··on Stable Diffusion 2.0
depends on your wallet but RTX 3080 or RTX 3060 are good graphic cards with which you can create these images. If you just want to dip your toes and not spend much you can use Google Colab and rent out googles graphicscards either for free or for $10. Here's a link to a google colab that you can just run for free and that is used a lot https://colab.research.google.com/github/TheLastBen/fast-sta...

P.S. if you want to buy a graphics card, make sure to have at least 12GB VRAM

does this mean that stuff like artstation and deviantart doesn't work anymore as prompts? That would be a huge change

arez··on Musk’s first email to Twitter staff ends remote work
that's the same steps to fuck it up btw
arez··on Hey, GitHub – Waiting list signup
what's the reason?
arez··on Hey, GitHub – Waiting list signup
one thing that changed that you can see in a demo, that it's speech recognition paired with a neural network. He doesn't have to say "write titanic = titanic.dropDuplicated()" he just says, "drop duplicates from titanic" so you "in theory" have to write less. It probably falls apart when you have more complex things to write and then you have to fallback to speaking it out word for word, but it is an interesting development
arez··on Ask HN: How to deal with regret of not having kids
sry, but the picture you're painting might be rational but I don't agree with it. Just because the divorce statistics might be bad doesn't mean you should breakup, just because he is unhappy now doesn't mean he will be unhappy in the future, same goes for the marriage, just because it's bad now doesn't mean it will be bad forever. Just because I want something doesn't mean I should go for it without looking left and right. You also lose something if you decide to change things. He could just adopt or maybe he would just like kids around him, so he could work in a soccer club, kindergarten or something else part time.
arez··on Codeberg: A GitHub alternative from Europe
I talk about europe and the jurisdiction ofc I mean the european union, I don't think I have to spell that out
arez··on Codeberg: A GitHub alternative from Europe
It's not so mich about the continent more about the jurisdiction, europe has GDPR which seems to do an ok job. You don't have to switch to a more privacy focused service but it's good that they exist and you can see that more and more of those services are popping up, protonmail for mail, duckduckgo for search and so on

arez··on Workerd: Open-source Cloudflare workers runtime
What is the endgame here? Do I run all my backend stuff at some point as workers that are closer to the customer or do I mostly use it for server-side redering?
arez··on Who killed nuclear energy and how to revive it
tell that to france and their inability to generate power with many reactors because either the rivers are dry or too hot. How is that a sustainable solution

arez··on How to fuck up an airport
what? Tegel was the best airport ever, you could literally be there 20min before check-in and still get your plane. Nowadays I have to arrive 3-4hrs before, tegel was a blessing a true king of all airports, all hail tegel
arez··on EU vote to ban all sales of combustion engine vehicles by 2035
Q.E.D, lol :D manufacturing vegetables and meat? I'm talking about cars, screws, machine. Nobody manufactures vegetables or meat :D but you mean packaging, ok, but germany is not big in that either, that's only some but mostly for the domestic market
arez··on El Salvador's Bitcoin Buys Tracker
it's just so refreshing to see people come to realization that their shiny tokens are worth nothing, it gives you hope that in the end, all the scams, lies and tricks are finally revealed
arez··on What’s Going on with Sriracha?
there's still enough inventory, this news has no value because nobody is actually affected
arez··on EU vote to ban all sales of combustion engine vehicles by 2035
first you say there was no agreement and then you say there was a sharing agreement, how does this fit together?

Also germany needs some cheap labor but manufacturing isn't the main part, manufacturing is actually quiet expensive due to strong unions in germany especially in car manufacturing etc.

and yes, brexit happened also because of these things, but as you can see now, letting foreigners in doesn't need to be bad, it's more the other way around, you can't find truck drivers, bus drivers etc. anymore in the UK.

arez··on EU vote to ban all sales of combustion engine vehicles by 2035
in 2015 it was agreed to let people in. Luckily we don't have gates that we open and close, but the countries in the EU agreed that this was a humanitarian crisis and decided to take some amounts of foreigners in.
arez··on EU vote to ban all sales of combustion engine vehicles by 2035
- foreign affairs are mostly coordinated with each state, not so much with the EU as a whole

- They police their borders sadly quiet heavily, if you think about pushbacks in greece and the whole frontex operation.

- EU is not a military alliance and doesn't have an army, even though they thought about it. So most states rely on their own army and NATO.

- So why do they care about IC engines, dongle size and cookie? Because the EU is about trading policy, consumer rights, privacy, worker rights and much more.

Is it inside out for you because you misunderstood what's it's role is maybe?

if you think that you just need QA and then you don't need pentesting anymore you have no idea what pentesting is.

QA doesn't find XSS, SQL injection, CSRF, IDOR

arez··on How can I get my boyfriend to stop digging his tunnel?
I'm in too, doesn't even matter if we live in different cities, we can just dig a tunnel and meet in the middle
