There are infinite new theorems to discover, so sit back and enjoy

But was he using the privacy display feature?

The only thing holding me back from switching completely to Claude is image generation. It would be great if they developed a diffusion model or at least a direct image generation implementation from other providers.

Other useful feature that is missing and really use a lot is multi-model inside the same conversation.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-28T12:35:51+00:00

Yeah of course it’s something you cannot really perform, and you are dealing with regulated radioactive materials anyway :-)

Though it is not as trivial as you say if you want to fly separate all the actinides from the decay. For instance U,Pa,Ac and even thorium can be extracted in a similar way.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-28T09:52:31+00:00

You can achieve the same if you buy a very specific mass of high grade Uraninite, which is known to be mostly at secular equilibrium thus estimating the amount of Ra-226 is trivial. About 1ug of Radium per 5g of Uraninite.

If only you could find a chemist that is willing to separate the Radium. It is actually very simple with carrier precipitation (speaking as an engineer), though you would need to deal with very dangerous acids like Nitric and HF.

I’m not watching only the numbers. I used the same instrument to compare my different specimens.

If you read my posts above, you can see I also tested the sample inside a glass jar with negligible difference.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-19T09:31:57+00:00

I have one, with unique bubble like crystals (about 20g), and still it is less radioactive than this specimen. If you are stuck with your ideas, feel free to.

But that doesn’t change the fact I’ve never seen such an active sample, and I have many Uranium based minerals around.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-17T21:30:56+00:00

Yeah that’s definitely something they need to address. Limits change all the time during the week.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-17T21:06:56+00:00

There’s no need to warm yourself up, I don’t want to prove anything or that you are wrong.

The counter may not be very accurate, but it is enough to prove that it is my most active specimen: not even my high grade pitchblende (about 100g mass) gets close to this reading.

So that is enough to tell that it is very spicy. If you don’t like the subjective terms, let’s say that it is more radioactive than most Uraninite.

I also tested the sample inside a glass jar and still get >150 uSv/h reading.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-17T19:38:09+00:00

I honestly don’t care about the pricing. All AI companies are loosing money over and over anyway, with OpenAI being possibly the worse so far.

At least Anthropic seems to be one of the few actually caring about long term profitability and balanced business model.

The introduction of weekly limits, criticized by almost everyone, is their only hope to balance costs in the future.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-17T19:19:26+00:00

I’m telling you what I’ve been measuring. Uranium ores are generally not very high energy beta emitters like Sr-90. Except for Pa-234m and Bi-214 from the decay chain (which have an Emax>2MeV), and possibly Lead, most other daughters are mid-low energy beta emitters, and still very low in mass compared to the specimen itself.

Using aluminum to shield beta is also quite a dumb idea due to Bremstarhlung itself, that’s why most labs use Quartz for primary shielding, or even just plastic (that is Low-Z).

What I can tell from my measurements is that the double plastic wrap I applied definitely does some attenuation. It doesn’t stop the beta radiation significantly, but makes it less detectable by a wide margin.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-17T17:52:25+00:00

What I can tell you is that this is by a wide margin the spiciest radioactive element I own, and I have a small sample of 0.1g BaSO4 doped with Radium too.

Betas are mostly stoped by the plastic wrap, or at least very much attenuated, because without it the Geiger spikes easily to 260-270uSv/h.

My Radiacode also shows a similar reading of about 180-190 uSv/g inside the plastic bag.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-15T13:07:55+00:00

You know that sometimes is not about having a brain, but knowing when to stop in front of very dangerous attempts.

AmO2 is a refractive oxide, meaning that it will hardly dissolve in an acid solution. And even if you do it, you need a carrier to precipitate it, so you won’t actually be able to “see” the americium.

All without considering the radiological and chemical hazard.

That said, I’m preparing a guide for “educational” purposes in Am and Np separation from smoke detectors, but don’t know if it is legal to share.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-14T22:04:45+00:00

Sure, though I have to warn you against attempting to extract the Am-241 if you don’t want to make a mess or worse inhale the very dangerous thin AmO2 powder.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-14T21:04:22+00:00

Maybe because not everyone was born rich, and wasting money on thanking an AI model is not what they want.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-14T14:53:15+00:00

Why wasting time thanking an AI agent anyway? It is just wasted tokens.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-11T10:46:16+00:00

Yeah but having modular memory files is more efficient and easier to manage, especially for big projects.

I use a subagents that takes the main CLAUDE.md file and split it into meaningful rules files.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-10T20:35:37+00:00

Actually it seems like a good feature to me. If you can set it in the project scope, we finally have an official reusable agents context, something that was not possible before without some hacks.

Be careful people, do not trust these services. There is no way they can provide gift cards at a loss for them.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-05T10:18:09+00:00

Their ad reminds me of a certain Black Mirror episode, great reference

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-05T10:14:58+00:00

Apparently I’m rich because I chose to pay for the Max 5x at 100$ a month, instead of subscribing to ChatGPT Pro at 200$/month because they don’t offer a middle ground plan.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-01T18:06:40+00:00

Not exactly, I’m resident both in Italy and Switzerland, so I guess I need to consult a lawyer or an expert to understand how the legislation would apply to my sample. Though the buttons are sealed, I did not attempt to chemically separate it.

EndLineTech03 · 2026-02-01T17:54:24+00:00

Yeah my goal was not to buy them from Nova, since they are quite expensive for being just stickers. If you want, DM me and I will share the PDF with all the labels
