my favorite part of ai is that i can shitpost to it about stuff that is way too nerdy to find irl people to talk about. like the archeological evidence supporting or opposing the poggio brocciolini theory of tacitus forgery. who is gonna listen to me talk about that stuff? only the robot waifu can slap back. sure she's retarded but that's cute!cc @pimage.png

@p @nanook @fluffy I think if you had to have a girlfriend that's smarter than you she'd have to be at most within a standard deviation (~20 IQ points). Much higher than that and it'd be difficuilt to establish a rapport.

@fluffy @p that is a good point. I think this is a net positive. It's not depriving another human of interaction, since that interaction would not have happened with another human anyway. It's more like 'talking to yourself+' where the + is an entity with encyclopedic backup but limited sense-making (we're not calling it intelligence, AI has no intelligence). It's a good combo if one adapts to it.

@p @bajax @j @nanook @pwm ```Meng Qiu Zhen continued to spout nonsense: “Nine is the perfect number, nine times nine represents the concept of countless and boundless, the multiplication method is the rule of all beings, the extreme profundity of the natural order, those who lack aptitude cannot comprehend it. Come, let me teach you the first killer move — One Times One is One!”The young man held his breath, he listened attentively and muttered to himself: “One times one is one, one times one is one, one times one is one.”Not long after, at the final scene....His disciple was constantly suppressed, without a choice, he had to give up on his strongest raging emotion killer move and use the nine-nine multiplication table method instead.Immortal killer move — Eight Times Eight Is Eighty-Eight!After a long time of fighting, his disciple finally used his killer move.Cough!He had just activated the killer move when it failed immediately, he suffered a backlash and became gravely injured.“This killer move is wrong! Master, don’t tell me you…” The disciple looked at Meng Qiu Zhen in disbelief.“Oh my foolish little disciple, I’ll tell you the real name of this killer move — Eight Times Eight Is Sixty-Six!” Meng Qiu Zhen snickered coldly as he attacked viciously[1].````image.png

@fluffy @p Ha ha, actually I do believe nuclear plants are a large part of the short term solution but one particular type of nuclear reactor, a molten salt fast-flux breeder reactor. The reason being a combination of inherent safety by the very physics of the plant, it's relative efficiency, it's lack of need for water, it's lower physical land requirements relative to other plant types, and it's ability to use long term actinide waste from existing plants as fuel, recover more than 20x as much energy from the waste as the original plant did from the fuel, produce waste that isn't bomb grade or readily made into bomb grade material, do reprocessing on site so little opportunity for terrorists to intercept transport, among other things.

@p @judgedread Yeah so, it has a few they recommend running that seem to work ok. Although one thought Nixon was still president lol.Its fun for what it is, you have a little pi with some relatively decent capabilities. The hat it self has 8g or ram on it so combined with a 16g pi it so its surprisingly powerful all things considered. Unlike that nvdiia dev board I cant do certain things like having hashcat play with it and such.Ive actually got a pretty high end camera for the visual stuff that so far seems to work...idk I need to get my head around it a bit more. It can recognize my cat tho.I also picked up one of those arduino uno Q boards....no idea what to do with it but its cool.>Let's talk business before too longyeah well do biz

@p @fluffy I think it part of the reason until recently, but I think at this point the major powers have enough nuclear materials, too much waste, and the public's discomfort with unsafe boiling water reactors are changing this. China has one in operation now. Also, metals with sufficient corrosion resistance and temperature tolerance have only recently been identified.

@p @bajax @fluffy No not the case, friendica and hubzilla are both long form macro blogging platforms, the maximum post size is configurable and also a function of your PHP configuration but on my site it is set to 5GB, the Bible is around 14MB of text for contrast. But aside from the site configuration, the maximum post size of your PHP configuration is also an issue and I think defaults to around 8MB, but I have mine set to 5G to allow attachments as large as a full DVD.

@nanook @fluffy @bajax If the entire pipe on the dedi has been saturated and normal operations have been not just impeded but effectively DDoS'd, and if I blocked 500k uniques in a month (not counting the blanket ban on all PRC IPs a few days ago) and I'm still blocking at least one per second, 24 hours a day, I'd say it's extremely aggressive. A high number of reqs/second isn't necesarily aggressive, a low number isn't necessarily innocuous.They are way more difficult to stop than BoardReader was ( https://blog.freespeechextremist.com/blog/fse-vs-fbi.html ) but they are somewhat less aggressively DDoSing.

@nanook @fluffy @bajax Well, there's post size and there's thread structure. Mastodon attempts to show a thread as a single, linear thing; it does this by hiding other subthreads. PleromaFE links up and down so you see a linear (chronological by the order the server received them) string of messages, but you can navigate threads in terms of the thread's structure.

@nanook @fluffy @bajax > Consider some UFW rulesI don't use UFW, just iptables; ufw is like a set of barely working filters in front of iptables. But it's not a matter of correctly blocking, like...why would I be blocking 8443 if I'm not exposing that port to the world?I mean, have a look at that blog post, I'm a little ahead of the game on this one.

@p @bajax @fluffy Mastodon is a Microblogging forum, in the same vein as twitter, and is limited to 500 characters per post. Friendica and Hubzilla do not have this limit, max is configurable, and replies are threaded, but the number that appear on a post and the number of posts on a page are both configurable items, I have mine set to around 100 each but many sites set the values lower if their machine is not robust enough to format and display a large number.

@nanook @fluffy @bajax @mkultra @DiamondMind> mariadb-repair databaseGuaranteed not to work, because I'm not using that database (it's Postgres, and it doesn't have the same issues that MyISAM/InnoDB have), and if it were a database error, probably someone else would be seeing it by now. Error rate for the last 100k requests is 0.82%.What is happening is probably some bullshit issue we have on occasion where a malformed post causes the frontend to give up. Usually what fixes the issue is filling up the timeline to bump the problems out of the first page.

@nanook @fluffy @bajax UFW rules turn into iptables rules and I it has some sort of fail2ban integration and I have never seen UFW work properly on any machine where it's set up, so I don't use it.As noted, though, it's not really got to do with "too many connections on 443" but differentiating between legitimate traffic and the problem traffic.

@nanook @fluffy > The Chinese pattern has always been build one, prove it works, built a thousand so I am confident that they will.That is how scale works, yes. That's not the Chinese method, that's everyone's method."It works" and "It works at scale" and "We can build the scale" are all different questions and they did the first one. If they do the rest, sure, that's great. I'm interested in cheap nuclear energy. As far as the likelihood that they do or do not do this, a nuclear power plant is not like building a cell phone. Maybe unforeseen problems occur. Maybe they don't.Right now, though, no one has built thorium salt reactors at scale. That's it. I understand you would like them to be real and viable and I would like them to be real and viable but that has yet to be demonstrated so I am waiting. I am not building nuclear power plants at present so I have no influence on the outcome.

This is exactly my point. Pleroma can display arbitrarily large posts as well. But the difference between a warehouse and a junkyard is organization. Data is not different: it can be architected such that it is easy to follow a thread or not. Compare the way mutt/Thunderbird/sylpheed/etc. structure email threads versus the way GMail structures them.Case in point, the thread seems to you like a stream of non-sequiturs rather than a branching conversation. And I say "Threads seem to confuse a lot of Friendica/Hubzilla people." and I think this is the UI.

@p @SilverDeth @bajax @fluffy The only thing a refresh is going to do is resend the same request, so if not dropping packets, something else is intermittent. It does suggest a resource exhaustion of some sort. Perhaps run dmesg after a failure and see if the kernel is bitching about anything.

@p @fluffy This may be generally true but the physics of a nuclear plant are not all that difficult to understand, the main challenges are material and chemistry and those have been mostly worked out by third parties (chemistry Kirk Sorensen), materials (Copenhagen Atomics), so not really any exotic problems.

@nanook @fluffy I have heard you say that you think it is going to be easy. If it were easy, they'd already have a thousand plants. Unless Kirk Sorensen stood up a thousand plants, it's all unproven.Making one of something is very different from making a hundred of it. I will believe that they can make a hundred when they make a hundred. Right now, it seems possible, it may even seem plausible, but it is not *done*. Telling me that they can is not going to affect my belief in whether or not they will do it, and there is no reason to convince me, since neither of us can affect the outcome.There is also no reason: if you are reasonably convinced, then I will agree with you in a couple of years. There's no reason to hurry, is there? Do I need to have a positive belief in the practicality of scaling up thorium reactors *before* the thorium reactors are scaled up?

@p @fluffy First, we built and operated one at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1965 and operated it for four years, during which time on experiment that was done was to pull the control rods for maximum reactivity and turn off the cooling. It was allowed to run in this mode for 24 hours, no damage resulted. So since it's already been done 60 years ago physically it is not that difficult. That said, this was a military test reactor and it was decided to pursue a uranium fuel cycle rather than thorium because we just didn't have enough plutonium to blow enough shit up quite yet. So to be clear it's already been done but not scaled up to commercial power levels, the Chinese will be the first to do that.

I'm fairly convinced that the reason we don't have cheap power is more or less entirely a political matter.If you try to build one in a 1st world country, there's so much regulation that it's just not going to happen.If you try to build one in a non-1st world country, you're gonna get bombed because "muh nuclear proliferation".China is working on it, but they're probably facing quiet international backlash because once the cat's out of the bag, everyone is going to want one...It's basically like Free Energy suppression, except it actually happens.

@cjd @p @fluffy Regulation is a big issue but regulation that was appropriate for a boiling water reactor is not appropriate for a molten salt reactor because the former is an inherently unstable and only marginally safe by automation design with several explosive failure modes widely distribution radioactive material, where as a molten salt reactor is a reactor design safe by physics with no manual or automatic responses necessary and no explosive failure mode to distribute radioactives.

@nanook @fluffy Okay, here, like, this is the clearest I am able to be on the topic: I am not going to agree with you that a thing that I do not believe to be certain is certain. I hope that thing works out but it has not worked out yet. The only thing you can say to change my mind on the topic is "They have just built the 100th thorium salt reactor". So far, what we have is a viable prototype: that's good news. If it's trivial like you keep insisting, then we'll have a hundred in no time flat. I will believe it when I see it. I hope I see it.> So to be clear it's already been done but not scaled up to commercial power levels, the Chinese will be the first to do that.Maybe. It doesn't look like anyone else will do it before they do. The first energy-positive fusion reaction just happened a the big fusion reactor in Europe: that's encouraging, too. A lot of interesting things are happening and if any of them pans out, it'll be really cool. None of them have panned out yet.I do not see the urgency. My belief does not influence the outcome. So there are no stakes, there's no urgency. I have no reason to form a belief in either direction. It is definitely possible based on what I currently know, which is why I say "I will believe it when I see it" and not "That's bullshit and will never happen."

@fluffy @cjd @nanook @p How much of the cost could be mitigated by a smaller and safer build? I bet if we get the trailer sized reactors that can be built in a plant somewhere and dropped into a sarcophagus on site à la modular housing, they can become extremely affordable. Perfect way to power a remote city or building, no?

> if it was possible to make cheap power, you could just do itAnd then men with guns come and take away your house.You were doing the math on a pressurized water reactor, and all of the safety equipment that is expected when you have hot radioactive stuff under high pressure.If you use molten fuel (not even a thorium breeder, just plain old boring uranium), you have no pressure to deal with, you could use ceramic pipes, a ceramic Archimedes pump, so basically you need beryllium and lithium fluoride, ceramic clay, u233, high purity graphite, a boiler & steam turbine, and lots and lots of concrete.None of those things are that costly. They're not *cheap*, but they're not expensive in comparison to being able to crank out like 30kw of power all day and all night.If it weren't for regulation, there'd be youtubers doing this, I'm sure of it.

@cjd @p @fluffy When you consider Chernobyl, Fukushima, this is questionable. The emphasis is on the wrong things however. One of those is US regulations require radiation to be as low as possible, as low as possible trends towards infinite expense, but there is no indication that exposures to low levels of radiation is hazardous to human health. The cancer rates in Denver are not higher than Seattle. So one thing that would reduce expense considerably is if rules were re-written to allow low but non-zero radiation levels.

@cjd @nanook @p >if it weren't for regulation>guys with gunsi can tell you what it looks like on our side: you model it the way you model something like an earthquake, it's just a risk priced into the operational cost. from what i recall, this risk-adjusted cost was not substantial. this directly contradicts your thesis that "guys with guns" regulation is the barrier.>if you use thoriumi've long been aware of internet guys talking about thorium reactors. it wasn't something we had data for. the tech is interesting, and i hope it takes off and is everything people promise. i also really like the idea of a fusion reactor.one thing i will remark is, if thorium is as good as people are saying, why is nobody building more of them? you can just build power plants: it's not any different from building an apartment complex or running a machine shop, anyone can do it. regulation or not, if it was as incredible as people bill it, people would be building them en masse, you couldn't stop me from building ten thorium reactors, it's literally free money. but that's not what we see happening.

@fluffy @cjd @p This is another area where the risks for a molten salt reactor are totally different. In a boiling or pressurized water reactor, a large earthquake could break plumbing resulting in 300 atmospheres of pressure in the reactor instantly dropping to zero, all coolant flashing to steam and the reactor melting down. In a molten salt reactor, if plumbing breaks you spill some fuel / salt mixture on the floor, it solidifies and goes nowhere, and since fission products are continuously removed, without the chain reaction there is no heat and the radioactivity is much lower which means someone scoops it up, places it back in the reactor tank, repairs the plumbing and life goes on.

@fluffy @cjd @nanook @p I've been fucking around with solar power of about 20 years. Nobody is rushing out to slap down solar farms they are doing it because they are farming other people's money via government grift. Outside of Arizona, some parts of southern California, and maybe New Mexico they make no sense even as a peaker plant at the current cost (and constant availability) of natural gas.Its the same people that have a boner for heatpumps - for most of north america in winter below ~37F it costs less per therm to just burn methane in a furnace than it does to try to work the corner of the COP graph.

> thoriumThere are two different things here, one is molten fuel and the other is thorium breeding.Molten fuel is a really big deal because you lose the pressure, so then you don't need any pressure vessels, containment, etc. If it's a slow reactor like the MSRE they ran in the 60s, you have a graphite core and hot molten salt with uranium dissolved in it. When the salt passes through the core, the graphite moderates the neutrons which causes reaction and it gets hot, when it's not in the core, it doesn't.The other really big deal about molten fuel is that it's a liquid, so chemists can do chemistry on it, like for example extracting the waste (and just the waste) and then putting the other 95% good fuel back in to run again. PWRs retire fuel pellets when they're no longer good for reacting, which is when they're about 5% degraded.The challenge with molten salt is it corrodes things, and that nobody can get permits to build it. There are like 4 or 5 companies trying to build them in the west and it's all just held up on permits.Thorium is a whole other topic. The thing about thorium is that it's really really abundant, and if you bombard it with neutrons, it will transform into uranium 233. So people have the idea of surrounding the reactor with a layer of thorium to absorb the wasted neutrons and convert it whilst running the normal uranium reaction. But this is not necessary for molten salt, it's just a stretch goal. Uranium is already like $60 a pound which is basically dirt cheap for the amounts you actually need.The MSRE did not breed thorium, but Alvin Weinberg (administrator of the MSRE and also inventor of everybody's favorite PWR) suggested that it could.

@cjd @p @fluffy That said I favor fast spectrum because although thorium will breed efficiently with slow spectrum most even actinides require faster neutrons, so to burn up existing actinide waste we need fast spectrum.Second advantage, fast spectrum doesn't require a graphite moderator, which is flammable and potentially a chernobyl.

There are like 4 or 5 companies trying to build them in the west and it's all just held up on permits.at the risk of being called SO AMERICAN yet again... if it really was very profitable, permits wouldn't be holding them up. in the united states at least, there is a lot of corruption. you can lobby and get the permits you want. these investments would not be held up on permits if they looked to be an avenue for cheap power.that's not to say that you can always bribe and lobby, in some places you just will have bad luck, but someone would find a place to build one.of course, i don't have some specialized knowledge of the state of molten salt reactor lobbying, maybe it really just is a massive barrier, there are industries like that. but there is not a lot that promises of huge bags of money will fail to accomplish, i am somewhat skeptical that the improvement is very substantial if they cannot even successfully bribe bureaucrats.

@nanook @fluffy > I'm familiar with the physics and tech. I have no idea what your background is.Also familiar, and also aware of the difference between "we have one of something" and "it's everywhere". You ever read the early RFCs? Took a long time to go from prototype to production, and the early RFCs are more or less the transition period between production and ubiquity.> Logically you only need one instance of something to prove it possible, we've got two so far. *Logistically*, a prototype is not production. The physical principles have been demonstrated: building a production model is a different thing and building at scale is yet another different thing. It's the difference between a team of guys finely tuning a single thing versus an assembly line cranking out a hundred finely tuned things. Multiply this by the number of finely tuned things you need to put into a nuclear plant. Nobody has made a hundred thorium salt reactors yet: there exist unknown unknowns. Maybe there are no black swans and everything goes smoothly; maybe there are and it doesn't. Nuclear engineering is, at present, an extreme field of engineering: it's not a dude trying to figure out how to make the bridge stop galloping, it's closer to the dude trying to figure out how to get LIDAR to Europa. (Really fascinating: https://hackaday.com/2017/01/19/steve-collins-when-things-go-wrong-in-space/ .)If it's trivial, they'd already be everywhere. Process doesn't scale yet. When we dropped the first nuclear bomb, that was one of three bombs that existed. The first one we had tested in the desert, then we had two more, we dropped one, then we dropped the other, and we said we'd keep dropping them but that was a bluff: estimates were that it would take about a year to build a fourth. Process didn't scale yet.

A lot of plants just supplement with gas generators for peak hours and use the nuclear plant for the base level.

@DemonSixOne @fluffy @cjd @nanook > southern CaliforniaThe San Francisco occupiers have seized control of the sun in California. You may not run a solar array unless you are selling power back to the grid. So you would be able to run one to avoid brownouts, but they want the brownouts (get a good UPS). So you sell electricity to the grid. Homeowners don't have a huge reason to install them, and most people are renting anyway so the person that pays the power bill and the person that pays the property tax are not the same guy, so the incentives are misaligned.So, you know, Antarctica. If you could do something without NIMBYs, it's Antarctica. They use diesel generators for the most part: they have some solar panels and some wind turbines, but for most of their power, they use diesel.

@fluffy @p In a boiling water reactor you have two sources of hydrogen, neutrons occasionally split water into hydrogen and oxygen, this is a minor source and a catalytic combiner keeps up with this source, but when you flash the water to steam it reacts with the zirconium cladding in the fuel rods and this was the source in Fukushima and a problem that can't be designed out of boiling water reactors.

@p @BowsacNoodle @cjd @fluffy I extremely don't like modular designs, they are nearly all pebble bed designs in which fuel is encased in silicon carbide. The problem with this design is burn rate is low because there is no way to remove fission products, there is no way to recover actinides are reprocess them, and so you waste 99% of the fuels energy capacity and end up with a million year waste product.

I concur on the pebble bed stuff... GE and Westinghouse always making things more complicated than they need to be in order to bill support.But the promise of modular is orthogonal to whether the fuel is solid or liquid. Being able to assemble a plant out of shipping container sized parts that are built in a factory is a game changer for construction cost... Also for replacement or decommissioning, you don't need the army corps of engineers to move the things...

@cjd @p @fluffy They are two different things but they are best together. The reason, U235, the fissionable isotope of Uranium is only .7% of Uranium, and Thorium is 3-4x more plentiful than Uranium, so energy available if you breed thorium is 4000x+ that available from U235, add U238 and make that 5000 times, add all the actinide waste from existing nuclear reactors and even more.And it is the actinide waste that in my view is the greatest reason we should build fast spectrum breeders, we can power civilization for 1000 years on the existing nuclear waste because 95+% of the fuels original energy potential is still present in the waste. And doing so converts ALL of the actinides into short-lived fission products with the sole exception of technetium which is the one fission product with a longer than 30 year half-life. Even so this reduced the long term waste to only one isotope, much easier to keep isolated and much lower in total bulk.There is the issue of neutron economy which is less in a fast spectrum reactor,but there is a solution that is between thermal and fast spectrum that has all ofthe advantages of both and that is to use a beryllium or lead neutron multiplier, this takes one fast neutron and spits out two slower but still faster than thermal and in a range readily usable by even numbered actinides. (the odd numbered actinides can be fissioned by thermal neutrons so they are not difficult).The other reason I don't favor thermal designs is the moderator is either water or graphite and then you have either hydrogen explosion and corrosion, and water is not really compatible with high temperature salts so that's no good, or graphite, and graphite is flammable and leads to Chernobyl type fire instances. Particularly this happens because graphite captures some neutrons and becomes contaminated with time and occasionally has to be heated to high temperatures to be purged, and this presents a fire hazard if oxygen somehow leaks in.,

@nanook @fluffy All these reactors running 50 years and I'm in favor of thorium salt reactors. I like them. I'm just not super worried about something that's only happened to one reactor after it got hit with an earthquake two orders of magnitude higher than it was supposed to.Friend of mine worked in an oil refinery a while and I think *anything* is safer than California's oil refineries.I support your efforts but I remain unconvinced that conventional reactors are so terrible and thorium-salt reactors are still in the design phase.

@p @fluffy I'm not suggesting worrying, I am suggesting if we can make it absolutely safe, and at the same time more fuel efficient, and at the same time eliminate a long term waste issue, and at the same time increase the available fuel by 5000+ times, we should do so.

@tard @p @fluffy Hydrogravity shortage is limited by geography and we've already exploited most available geology, sun doesn't shine at night, and it takes up a hell of a lot of land, and it requires rare Earth's in short supply. If we had a world wide supergrid, we could better match intermittent generation to demand and somewhere in the world the Sun is always shining but this would require that we get along.

@tard @fluffy @nanook China's got a lithium surplus, which we do not have. We have Venezuela. Until we have solid-state hydrogen fuel cells (another thing that we have worked out in prototypes but have not turned into mass-produced devices; I think 10-20 years back, right, the guy used some alloy that was good at binding hydrogen to store energy in a stable state; right now hydrogen fuel cells are like nitroglycerin and ideally we can develop TNT).

@p @nanook @fluffy TMSR-1 or whatever its called in chinese works. They literally copied, scaled down and continued the work from Oak Ridge labs 60 years ago, complete with the same FLiBe coolant primary. They succeeded in the first fueling with thorium in late 2024. As far as I know its the most successful Gen IV prototype.The reason that MSR/LFTR tech hasn't been worked on much is two fold. First is the corrosive problem of the fuel, now mostly solved with modern superalloys. The second being that it is impractical to make a bomb with the thorium cycle because inevitable that any U-233 created during the fuel cycle will be significantly contaminated by U-232 which is a real cunt to handle.

@p @fluffy Six years ago, Friendica.eskimo.com didn't exist, I had an account on Farcebook and Twatter. I was 60-61 around that time, diabetic, and I lived in Shoreline, WA. A half mile down from me there was a FEMA tent hospital treating victims overflowing the regular insurance profit, er, hospital system. A half mile in the other direction a crematorium that they were stuffing bodies in as fast as they could and I could smell the burning flesh at my home. So do I get vaxed or not?I spent some time on VAERS, reviewing the reports, I saw quite a few anaphylactic shock cases (bad allergy reactions), and quite a few neurological side effects as well as regular deaths, severe organ damage, and other issues, and given that I had recently largely recovered from bad peripheral neuropathy and I had allergies to half the known universe and an immune system that was generally over-reactive, I opted not to.My oldest son meanwhile worked for Fluke and was told, get vaxed or get unemployed, he caved. So time goes on, he gets a booster, gets heart issues that require a CPAP where before he had been fine.And then the actual disease came, I got it twice, both times for me it was essentially a common cold lasting five days, he gets it three times, one of those times with a fever of 102 something, don't remember 102.7 or .9, something on that order, and nearly needed to be hospitalized.So at this point it was clear the vax wasn't protecting him, he got it more times than my 25 year old older unprotected self, and much more severe.I further found not only were most of the people around here who died from it 80+, but also many 80+ getting vaxed were dropping dead.So I post about this in both Farcebook and Twatter and got banned. This seemed to be some sort of human culling they didn't want interrupted. So ok, I run an ISP, I have hosting resources, and so I tried various platforms that were federated, and finally settled on Friendica with BookFace theme as a replacement for Farcebook less the nazi administration and Mastodon as a replacement for Twatter.Initially I ran it on an i8-6850k machine, this is a 6-core 12-thread machine with 128mb and clocked at 4Ghz. Performance was inadequate, database could only handle around 300 transactions per second, and so could not keep up with incoming messages and response was sluggish. One of my i7-6700k boxes bit the dust so I opted to replace the motherboard with a x299 gigabyte aorus master and replace the power supply with a 1200 watt Seasonic, and increase RAM to 256GB, add two nvme drives for the root partition setup as RAID one, and equip the rest of the machine with disk that was also setup as raid 1 array. I moved the database to the RAID 1 array, made the innodb cache large enough that the entire database could operate out of RAM, created a tempfs system for overflow tables so even they would happen in RAM.The result, a database capable of more than 10,000 tps and a Friendica and Mastodon node that were responsive and pleasant to use. So now I have a platform that the deathsquads can't censor me from, or other users who choose to use it and right now that's about 4500 users.So the fact that something isn't done yet doesn't mean that it can't be, and I'm not shy about doing it or at least contributing to it. Hopefully others will find encouragement.

@p @fluffy Again, I've tracked most of the players and tech involved, I disagree with you with respect to how much is unknown, the pieces are all there they just aren't in one place and I'm working on that.

@bajax @tard @p @fluffy I think solid state batteries have much promise but there is the issue of adequate ion mobility in a solid material. That said what I've read about these batteries is more rumor than actual test data so I haven't a lot of concrete data upon which to base an opinion but I will note that most commercial solid state batteries aren't completely solid and are some sort of hybrid designs because of the ion mobility in solids issue. That said, I am hoping something positive develops, I personally would love an electric car as a primary city driver since the majority of my trips are under 100 miles in a day, but lithium fires dissuades me. But as grid storage I don't think conventional batteries will ever scale sufficiently. Redox flow batteries I believe are about the only chemical battery technology with enough scalability to be useful at grid levels, but thus far they rely on vanadium and vanadium although about as abundant in the Earth's crust as copper, rarely exists in concentrated form and thus is expensive to extract and most comes from China, Russia, South Africa.

@p I think we need to keep technologists away from our precious bodily fluids @nanook @fluffy

@Leyonhjelm @fluffy @p I won't go that extreme but I think unproven experimental technologies that have no control for dosage, no adequate control for what organs they go to, and no knowledge of what damage they will do when they get there should be avoided.

@nanook I must ask why you wouldn’t go that far. Your actual post seems to suggest you would go that far but are afraid to say so since everything they do is what you describe. I can drink whisky without them @fluffy @p

@Leyonhjelm @p @fluffy Because many artificial things have benefits and relatively low harm, penicillin, blood pressure drugs, etc, and I do believe MRNA tech has potential, but I think its' ten years away from being mature enough to be safe. I'm not a Luddite, not afraid of new technology, but I also understand things need to be tested outside the human body, then double blind placebo control safety tests first on a small number of cohorts, then if successful on a larger, then efficacy testing, finally when you roll them out you monitor and if people are dying you take the item off the market until the issues can be resolved. But what little testing was done on Covid vax showed it wasn't ready for prime time, but deployed widely anyway, then when people were dying en masse and being maimed, it wasn't withdrawn from the market, or not even restricted to use in very high risk patience, it was even forced upon young children at virtually no risk from the virus and many of them died or were severely injured, and all of this done with the manufacturers exempted from liability, and WHY was liability exempted? Because they KNEW these things weren't ready but the billions of dollars overrode their better judgement as massive amounts of dollars are won't to do. I think for it to be safe several things have to happen. First off the effective dosage varied wildly because individual humans vary wildly in terms of how much protein they generate from MRNA, so to be safe either pre-testing needs to be done or some method of self limiting once a certain concentration of target proteins is generated, and the artificial nucleotide that causes this to be present in some peoples bodies years after vaccination needs to be removed. Lastly the nano-lipid delivery system carried the MRNA to organs that don't regenerate resulting in damaged hearts, kidneys, brain, and nerves. This needs to be addressed. Lastly bodily autonomy ALWAYS needs to be rejected and having something forcibly injected should never be an option.

@Leyonhjelm @p @nanook is there some way to mute a particular 'branch' of a thread tree? i only see the option to mute the entire conversation, which is undesirable.

All good points. I'm approaching it more like an engineer than a scientist. I'd rather copy the MSRE because it's already been run once and so we know a lot about the pitfalls already (e.g. impurities in the graphite eat neutrons).The concept is just so rich that you can afford to use expensive fuel and antiquated methodologies, and still come out on top.

@fluffy @p There are up front costs and costs of operation. I am interested not only in a very extendable energy source but also burning existing actinides from waste so that we don't leave our descendants a nuclear legacy.
