You can build fixed power reactors where they don't go critical if cooling is lost. It's just the cost more and they have a capped output. Pebble bed reactors are like this.


I mean, you probably want multiple layers of safety ...


CRUD work, Boilerplate config for network stuff, converting lots of oracle stored procedures. It's saving me days.


Enjoy having brown outs to keep data centers running guys.


Maybe. But zyn is a thing breathing new life into tobacco companies


It's not about control. It's about money.


The AGI doomerism was a marketing strategy. Now everyone gets what AI is and we're just watching a new iteration on search, ai's read all the docs.


i get about 90km of range from a 500Wt Bosch battery. Thats running at full power the whole time.


With 600Wh battery and Shimano Steps E5000 in lowest support level I can easily ride 250km/charge


That is amazing performance. I usually get about half that.


I usually ride faster than the motors limit, so it's really just acting like a push, and most of the battery is spent dragging me up a really big hill i live on. Everywhere I ride down in town is pretty much flat.


To a degree yes, however I have an ebike and the bosch battery with a it has a 500W battery which is about equiv (if my math is right) to a 28 Ah ryobi drill battery. Those don't exist btw, but if i wanted one and bought 7 4Ah batteries to get the same effect they would cost more than the single ebike battery.

As a single item they are pretty well priced for the power they offer.


I think those batteries have their own BMSs, plus casing etc, that adds to the cost. The story as I can understand it is about being able to swap out individual cells which won't have those overheads.


This is why the systems like what Australia has, with mandatory superannuation (401k accounts but better) is great. It makes the company pay the retirement plan amount for each worker, each pay. Then if the worker quits, they take their benefit with them. It's a 4 Trillion dollar industry in our country.


If we look back at all types of mechanization, all that happens is we keep our jobs, they get more complex and the jobs get harder and more technical. in 2-10 years if my job as a software engineer is speedily porting and upgrading banking code with AI assitants then cool. But I don't think we're going to see a crash. Human development doesn't stop. We're going to keep making new stuff and that takes people.
