Russian Academy of Sciences petitions for a new HAARP-style system to replace Sura https://iz.ru/1841985/2025-02-20/v-rossii-postroat-superantennu-dla-izucenia-kosmiceskoi-pogody 60 antennae in 700 m x 700 m grid, 2,5-6 MHz, effective power 900 MWt How does it compare to HAARP - because I'm seeing givawatt claims for an array that is a fourth of the size - and how excited should the tin foil salesmen be?

BREST-OD-300 (fast neutron, lead-cooled)of Project Breakthrough for the sheer madness of coming bundled with its own on-site fuel fabrication facility. Yep, it's a breeder. Late-model VVERs have sold like ice cream in July, comparatively speaking. Truly unstable parts of the world tend to be too unstable for a large, long-term project in the first place. That's why the various mobile options might be a simpler way, and putting them on a barge expedites a lot of politics. Yeah, I'm talking about Akademik Lomonosov.

It's a warzone less than 1% of the time, so the task of clearing the airspace on short notice isn't that dissimilar. I do agree that the selection of the airports actually shut down in 2022 was not entirely consistently logical (e.g. Elista but not Sochi).

b. 1993, already working alongside a sufficiently large sample of freshly graduated Gen Z'ers, and they are fine. Yes, one of them complains he can't resist the gravitational pull of his gaming laptop when working remotely, another one wore her Slytherin pin to the office a rather stodgy client... and yet another one went through ROTC as a BM-21 Grad gunner last summer. It's not a chasm, they aren't any less bright, and the mythical PC illiteracy isn't there...

The case of Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243 indicates rerouting inbound traffic in time can be a very non-trivial task. Especially if, as suggested by at least one interpretation, the controllers think they can narrowly manage to get it to land in time.

You are one stubborn [redacted]

You wouldn't expect me of all people to disagree, but when it came to foreign policy and arms control, this guy was very consistent in his positions for over half a century. I'd like to put forward my own grandfather, whose entire career in education was him rattling off from notes with other people's ideas. Same age, polar opposite politics, of the hammer and sickle and Mauser variety. (Whereas his mother actually took kulaks behind the barn)

I don't know. Certain regions known for aggressive mining are also known for flagrant disregard for power grid regulations. You just tap in and mine away. Where's what @Nuke is asking is fundamentally contradictory. The tall requirements for mining are a built-in mechanism for limiting inflation. Without it, the unsupported currency would get debased pretty quickly, I think. Two fairly untelated factors are causing its gradual death. One, in an age of intense surveillance over finance movements, its basic concept is utterly unwelcome. The crypto industry thus must be reeled in until it's indistinguishable from regular banks... at which point, where is the advantage over CBDCs and various Fast(er) Payment Systems? Two, I think the memecoins are making the whole thing too ridiculous to consider, to the point where money itself becomes a joke. It's being made from pure speculation, out of thin air... I feel less ridiculous owning one-millionth of RCC Energia. I don't know. Certain regions known for aggressive mining are also known for flagrant disregard for power grid regulations.

There are whole genres of books that tell you your thinking is wrong, your experiences are defective, misleading, perhaps even engineered, and must not be trusted, and that we the smart and enlightened ones will tell you exactly what to do, and whose face to crush with your jackboot, forever. Once again, you're creating a false dichotomy. People have been rewriting history quite swimmingly without AI.

Depending on what you mean, it's either impossible or wrong. The neural net itself is the sum total of the training dataset subjected to an aggressive form of compression. The GPTs simply rebuild the relevant bits much like decompression algorithms do. More elaborate ones, like phind.com, use an Internet search to augment the original net. I find this particular thesis to heavily resemble arguments against... all sorts of automation, mechanization, and even division of labor. Seriously, why do we let people go to supermarkets when they should know how to hunt on their own with only the tools they're able to make for themselves? The problem, as you would likely put forward, is that AI automated cognition and thought instead of labor. But we already do that on a whole multitude of other levels! How is an AI worse than adopting a received wisdom from a book of questionable quality (that is, the majority of them)? If anything, AI seems to be an attempt to respond to the maladies of current society: an information aggregator to skim over impossibly many web search returns, a writing assistant to help a generation that was already quite hopeless at writing, a virtual companion for the age of hyperconnected loneliness. I know what you're getting at. But when children outsource homework to ChatGPT, the AI is not the problem, and those who put it out into the wild aren't at fault.

Well, color me shocked, I didn't even remember about Vinnick. The guy was sentenced by a Greek court to be extradiated to France, followed by the US, followed by Russia. I am not entirely sure that his modest charges weren't just a ploy to invoke extradition rights, but it will be a very odd prisoner exchange where the recovered party is, theoretically at least, a wanted man.

...which seemed to appear seemingly out of nowhere in the 1970s, when past growth of energy consumption - a key correlate of economic productivity - hit a mysterious ceiling. From https://www.overcomingbias.com/p/elois-ate-your-flying-carhtml Interestingly, these captains, as you call them, are rarely the ultimate leaders, as they should be. There's often an additional layer of abritrator-coordinators that we generally used to call 'kings', who are wary of these omissions and seek to dampen impulses and mitigate hard - through what may seem to be obtuse and antiquated restrictions. Going potentially off-topic, I generally blame many of our maladies on this additional layer forgetting their ultimate responsibility, hiding behind bureaucratic procedures and checks and balances, which lack true agency but are run by a combination of ambitious, very interested captains and disinterested living cogs.
