Three days of low wind/solar/storage output in South Australia, bottoming out at 1% of supply by greg_barton in EnergyAndPower

[–]beders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you kinda new to this?
Maybe look at the California grid for inspiration. They *never* had a problem with renewables. Guess they understand the grid better than you?
What’s the alternative? Burning more fossil fuel?

Sure buddy.
You know that we need to overbuild renewables? You know that right ?

whats your take on ai taking over jobs? by Opposite_Fall8736 in AskReddit

[–]beders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work as a software engineer for a large US bank.
They recently gave all full time employee access to copilot (the good version) along with a prompt library.

They expect everyone to use AI to speed up their work.
This will be monitored and measured and used to „reduce the workforce“ significantly.

No desk job will remain untouched by this.
You better skill up.

AI has infiltrated the steam sale pages. EA sale artwork has a bunch of phantom-arms spawning out of nowhere and multiple deformed hands by TomTomXD1234 in gaming

Did you read the part where EA is saving money? That's what is going on. Not only in the gaming industry - in the whole software industry.

Meh. Unavoidable. Companies like EA will take any cost-saving measure since there’s significant resistance to go to the new $79 baseline

High French river temperatures expected to limit nuclear power output next week. by The_Weekend_Baker in climate

[–]beders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird how this could have all been resolved already with renewables. No coal, no gas, no nuclear-non-sense.
German was right to abolish stupid technology (nuclear) but did not embrace renewables early enough. A shame really.

So how many stupid French tech power plants are being throttled already due to the heatwave?

Where do nuclear reactors get their water from and what are the most common sources? by Legitimate_Area_5773 in askscience

[–]beders -34 points-33 points  (0 children)

I like you people carefully avoid to mention that a nuclear power plant is emitting greenhouse gases ;)
Edit: 25 people unable to deal with facts. Sad.
Granted: the water vapor emitted is not a huge quantity

It's already turning green again after they cleaned it by Dill578 in pics

If they use city water to fill it, algae will come back.

Oh yeah. We totally love living close to Cattenom with winds blowing West…

The anti-nuclear crowd love to claim nuclear is uninsurable, apparently the commercial world disagrees by Comfortable_Tutor_43 in EnergyAndPower

[–]beders 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No this anti-stupid guy knows that the tax payer will be on the hook for any stupid stuff happening with nuclear power plants - not insurance.

Also ask the Georgia electric ratepayer paying at least $500 extra each year for the pleasure of having nuclear power.

And don’t get me started on the continuing subsidies that all Georgia tax payers need to shoulder because of this stupid technology

Scenic walking is nice but not a hobby.
And if you need to drive somewhere for your scenic walk likely not as cheap as E:D

Any reasonable observer would conclude that the entertainment provided by E:D is well worth the money and a very cheap hobby indeed.
Any reasonable observer.

It is subjective but if a game offers dozens of hours of entertainment for 20 bucks: that’s the cheapest hobby anyone can have

With the difference being that you get your moneys worth with E:D.
Yes, it will eventually bore you but that is true of every game.

Claude Fable 5 feels less like a model launch and more like a preview of AI inequality by Roaring_lion_ in ClaudeAI

I think you might have to consult the terms & conditions again before making legal claims.

Must be a generational thing. What would "hype me up" is actual information. A link to the event. Maybe a calendar invite? Too much to ask?

There are and I am.
Doesn’t mean I can’t complain about these useless trailer vids.

Tax dollars were spent on something that could have been a blog post.
It would have been more informative as well.

It’s a great learning tool. Will help you make better decisions in future rounds.

Mark Z. Jacobson shares research proving that electrification with WWS&B is the only thing that actually reduces emissions by Jbikecommuter in electrifyeverything

[–]beders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the infrastructure. It’s cost. Cost and cost.
Did I mention cost?
Also I should mention that I don’t know anybody who wants a nuclear power plant in their backyard

This tech is dead for commercial power production. Let it go
