Like the “hasnt left the lab in 75 years” thorium reactors (Which current designs still need enriched uranium)? and the recycle reactors that produce weapons grade plutonium (Of course, also via enriched uranium)? Id love to see you

No I dont mean those, I mean the CANDU’s, a viable system that has been operating for around the same amount of time thorium has been in development hell (again, 75 years).

Are you trying to say america has never had a nuclear disaster on record? Cause its pretty easy to google that US has had more nuclear accidents in the 2000’s than canada has in the past century. The Three Mile Island meltdown was probably the worst nuclear accident in north america, its hardly reasonable to ignore it. Unless you count uranium mining accidents, cause then the Church Rock uranium mill takes the crown.

And which country has ~2000 nuclear reactors? I must have missed this in my research, with those numbers they account for approximately 4x the total number of reactors in the world, a surprising oversight. (Or are you doing some football math that 94/19 = 100x? Cause even if 94/19=5x then per capita america is still lacking)

Damn, I still see some available on aliexpress but it looks like they aren’t stocking any more.

Probably taken out by the ram shortage like everything fun.

And developed a reactor that doesnt need enriched uranium, removing the risk of weapons development.

And have been one of the few countries to deploy reactors under budget and on time.

Not all of north america.

Canada is a world leader in nuclear and number 3 for hydro for example.

Get an orange pi 800?

Admittedly it is pretty confusing, but its spec describes it as “json with functions”, and once you get a handle on the recursive aspect of it (and that it kinda smushes multiple imported jsons together), its not too bad.

Stupid useful too

Am I having a stroke or are you intentionally describing nixos

Well yeah how am I supposed to fit systemd on a milkv duo of ram? My gen z brain can only handle compiling a kernel to minimize its footprint, hardly even scraping the surface of linux experience.

(Non sarcastically though, why would anyone under 30 not know about systemd? Sure mainstream OS’ have more users than ever, but thats cause the world is techier than ever - growing up with fiber makes getting distro and tutorials trivial. I theorise youre getting pulled into the boomer mindset of “this person online does this so is an accurate representation of an entire generation”, which is kinda foolish.)

(PPS I know some gen z’s who dont even know what a file or folder is, so I’m not saying everyone is techy, but just that is almost statistically gaurenreed some people will be with a gen z population of almost billion people).

(PPPS, yeah Im talking about the 64mb milkv duo. No its not fun. But fuck is it informative.)

I mean its more like self driving cars than cars themselves; it can work, but also steering wheels were created by the devs for a reason - even if most are too lazy to understand that reason.

Like I’d agree hand coding in assembly is (mostly) useless these days, but honestly I feel like the efficiency problems ai is trying to solve were largely solved 50 years ago with compilers.

(and like isnt digesting large outputs the entire point of being an engineering level dev? like if youre just there to pray to the software gods, you’d do much better as a CRUD script kiddie anyways)

Physics is a mathematical model with the most proven utility to humans.

If you have a model more applicable to a situation, youre free to use it, but its pretty unlikely to be as broadly applicable as modern mathematical physics (A thousand times so when considering computers).

But yeah the study of physics is 100% math (And its not 100% a perfect model of reality! Thats why we study it).

That and an actively hostile hardware environment to open source dev in the aarch world.

OS’ on x86 are also a nerdy niche, yet Linux numbers are growing by the day, even seeing large vendors moving to first part support. None of this is allowed to exist in the mobile market exclusively for the profit margins of a few companies.

Side note imagine how cool it would be in a world without that enshitification, old phones could be recycled for 90% of pi projects, with better specs than the most expensive pi.

Can’t mount networked filesystem’s in android, but you can use a file browser app to emulate the same thing.

You can mount /var and /tmp to the ssd, lot of tutorials on doing this for Pis SD cards if your googling.

The only substance I can see to it is when do you draw the line from a modified Debian (or Ubuntu) setup to a “new” distro?

If you start with an Ubuntu image its technically possible to ship of Theseus it right into an Arch image, but you could argue the default config of both is best representative of the actual distro maintainers goal (even if irrelevant to power users).

(Saying this all as a NixOS user with a system that hardly even looks like Linux sometimes so maybe I’m a bit biased on how blurry all the lines are lmao)

SElinux blocks this for aosp and its forks.

I largely agree, but I could see having a prebuild iso/img including uboot for most common boards being a lot more user friendly than doing it by hand.

That and a binary cache could make things take a couple mins for a download vs a couple days to compile the kernel + all packages for any user with lower end hardware.

Kinda like what armbian provides for the arm space, but with a lot harder initial curve by hand rolling their own distro.

Modular custom single-program kernel running in a VM live migrated across a cluster?

Have you thought about giving Godot a try?

Its much more suited to your PC’s specs, and can be downloaded/ran through a much easier methods like flatpaks.

Its a tiny thing but god I couldnt get passed the obvious Ice Age ad in like the 2nd episode. We’re supposed to be 80s sci fi not “has full access to modern CGI with path traced lighting but only choose to put shitty old 8bit terminals on our expensive interstellar ships” sci fi

Distribution throughout the vehicle would be laughibly trivial, and calling using batteries ‘generation’ is weird, but they are still like 99% efficient.

Probably means the efficiency loss burning gas (in power plants much more efficient than cars) is counted for electric vehicles, but ignored for gas vehicles through some crazy mental gymnastics.

Its also a US study published in 2018, so this is an expected bias.
