In China, 9 new nuclear reactors started construction in 2025, up from 6 in 2024. China's state council approved 10-11 reactors per year over the last 4 years.
Restarts of Three Mile Island (819MW) and Michigan Palisades (805MW) are both in progress.>>16885590Interesting that there happens to be a hole in 1979 as that's the year of the Three Mile Island incident and the anti-nuclear movie 'The China Syndrome'. Given the lead times on planning, construction, and starting operations, that's certainly a coincidence. Those lead times like do show up about a decade later as all of the plants that had been in the pipeline completed and no new ones were started.
When's commercial scale energy positive cold fusion?
>>16885581No, China is actually anti-nuclear energy. Of course any nation with great power ambitions must have a nuclear workforce but they realized long ago that cheap solar rollout will far eclipse anything nuclear can do. And there is no sign that fusion will be cheaper than fission either.Still cool they're working on it though.
>>16885581We are going to reach from 1b internet users to 5b 2034 before Moore's law with silicon ends and they start building up nodes on CPU/GPU. All that energy wasted on updating infrastructure.

>can get an entire degree's worth of knowledge free online at your own pace What have you guys been studying in your spare time? A few years ago, I had a unique opportunity to follow a master's degree in AI engineering at JHU. Now, I'm about halfway through MIT's finance theory I for grad students. It's a total trip that this class was taking place in the midst of the 2008 financial crisis.

Basically the only way this film remained in popular culture is people bringing up "idiocracy wasn't supposed to be a documentary" and everyone laughing at people who thought it was realistic. If I try to go "back in time" to try to see what people used to say on the subject, the only criticism I find are comics like https://xkcd.com/603/ that nitpick some tiny detail that's hardly even mentioned or implied at best (also saying "worrying about the problem causes more harm than the problem", I wonder how he felt about covid years later) or making fun of the movie's depoction of future America, which is obviously exaggerated and stylised for comedic effect. I feel bad for being the only guy around who didn't get the memo on how the central premise actually got debunked. The central premise in my view being "as of right now, the smart, well organised people who have their shit together and can form healthy, happy relationships tend to have few or no kids, where as the abusive drug addicted idiots, often only kept alive by welfare, charity or crime, who bumble through life and never consider planning for the future are the group that tend to have the most kids (especially since you can count on there being kids out of wedlock). Like I said, this just seems like common sense to me, it matches what I see outside perfectly. Most of us could pay for an abortion if it came to that, the people that don't have a few hundred dollars to their name could be just jolly good poor people but most of them are likely just retards who spend money as it comes in, never even considering the idea of saving or planning ahead.

>Exact size, position, and distance to perfectly eclipse the sun to a ratio of 1:1>The odds of this happening astronomically for any given planet+moon+star configuration is approximately 0>It JUST HAPPENED to also happen on the one planet in the entire universe with life, at precisely the point in geological time that that life is in existenceYeah ok
>>16885913tidal forces mean systems like the Earth and Moon evolve with the moon increasing its distance from the Earth over time.eventually any system like the earth and moon will at some point be able to have the apparent size of the moon be equal to that of the star.
>>16887263>it's perfect 1e24x more than any other arbitrary configuration of celestial bodiesWhat is your definition of ‘more perfect’ in regards to eclipses? Triton has one of the lowest eccentricities of any moon of the solar system which means no annular eclipses, but its high orbital inclination constrains eclipses to a narrow season in Neptune’s orbit? Is that more perfect or less perfect than our annular-ridden eclipse schedule? All four of Jupiter’s Galilean moons can produce total eclipses and actually because of the orbital resonances it’s possible to get many combinations of spectacular double or even triple eclipses. Is that more perfect or less perfect than our own? What is your criteria for judging the perfectionality of orbital configurations?Or are you, maybe, talking out of your ass?
>>16886576The orbital was based on a metaphysical relationship with our people beyond, and the moon was a female person that took to orbit from a people grouping to think more about herself. It's an elliptical egg orbit from far beyond.
>>16887368Right out of the ass, then, got it.
>>16887371No, after extensive quantum jumping, I went to places outside of our universe where people had meaning over us. Being here felt like being underwater with people, and I expanded to be a huge person. Aliens ventured in fluorescent-lit ships of different colors and buzzed around me in celebration with the gods, like little glowing sea creatures.

I'm a novice, so I'd like some perspective on this, not only from people who agree with this, but with people who disagree with this especially.Is it possible we don't see evidence for Out-Breeding Depression in humans because modern medical intervention supersedes the consequences of Out-Breeding Depression, i.e. Asian Mothers with non Asian Fathers having a 33% higher rate of Caesarean birth, mostly due to skeletal mismatches between their Pelvic Bone and the Cranium Size of their children, an issue that in the natural world would likely result in reduced fertility within that demographic, but due to C-Sections this issue can be circumvented, and the genetic mismatch can continue to breed and spread, necessitating further dependence onto modern medicine in future generations.Given the numerous racial distinctions:>Fat distribution>Muscle Anatomy>Bone Mineralization, skeletal structure, skull shape>Pore size>Larynx and Speech comprehension geneticsEtc. Is it possible that more instance of out-breeding depression exist that are flying under the radar, and this is possibly one reason why the modern populations have so many health related issues?https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2008/10/asian-white-couples-face-distinct-pregnancy-risks-stanfordpackard-study-finds.html
>>16881343I highly doubt asians are prone to depression even if its public reproducible data given they have higher IQs and cognitive ability correlates pretty high with emotional stability its nearly normally distributed following a gauss like FSIQ in major nations
>>16887006There were some follow up discussion papers, either challenging the conclusions or expanding on the data, but they aren't as easy to find or add much. I've got them saved on some drive but can't remember exactly where.I really ought to reorganise but it's a couple of terabytes......
If you want good data, look at racing horses.There's a huge amount of money thrown around to create the next big winner, but they're working within the constraints of constricted founder populations to achieve that goal.A lot of information is readily publicly available.
This is interesting.https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/how-supergenes-help-fish-evolve-into-new-speciesCichlid fish invert large sections of their DNA to maintain coherent gene combinations when they can't avoid the risk of interbreeding with other cichlids
>>16887118You'd think, but given the state of modern Japan, Korea, and China, they aren't the most stable places right now, and they struggle with just as many issues as the rest of us. Though generally yes, monoracial Asians have the lowest prevalence of mental illness, but biracial Half Asians have twice the prevalence of mental illness as their Asian parents, which tracks overall with the Mental Illness rates of biracial people in general.>https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/biracial-asian-americans-and-mental-health>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0165032723014088>>16887212The research is legit, I'm honestly surprised I've never heard of it before now. I suspect Iceland and its role in our understanding of genetics will play a pivotal role in the coming ideological shift towards ethnic homogeneity. The more mindful of these new intentional communities will adhere to some kind of genetic practice, and Iceland has provided a decent rubric.
what if black hole just expand the universe? like they swallow matter and then expand the visible universe using that matter
Why the scientific consensus says that women and men have the same iq if imperial data contradicts this statement?

women have literally smaller brains with less dense connections between emispheres, did you rly need a test to base the assumption of their lesser intelligence?

Why was he reading philosophy when we know it's useless?
metaphysics, the first abstraction
>>16887210Albert Einstein famously rejected a personal God but expressed deep awe for the universe's rational structure, often speaking of a "God" revealed in natural laws, like Spinoza's God, not a being who intervenes in human affairs. Key quotes highlight his admiration for cosmic harmony, his disbelief in a punishing God, and his famous "God does not play dice" comment about quantum randomness. Spinoza's God is a radical concept, identifying God with Nature itself, a single infinite Substance underlying all reality, rather than a transcendent creator. This view, often called pantheism, posits that God is not separate from the world but is the world, possessing infinite attributes and expressing eternal essence. For Spinoza, everything that exists, from humans to objects, is a "mode" or modification of this one divine substance, leading to a deterministic universe where God acts necessarily, not arbitrarily.
>>16887210Looks like someone hasn't read enough Descartes and Karl Popper, or this thread would never even exist.(protip: focus on Descartes letters and personal communications)
>>16887210"I ought never to act except in such a way that I could also will that my maxim should become a universal law."Sounds like a snotty little German kid.
>>16887314>le categorical imperativeDid it never occur to Kant to ask what would happen if everyone dedicated their life to philosophy instead of toiling in the fields?
>Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them.
>mathematician>objectively rightevery single god damn time
>>16887222Yeah that's basically how the brain already works. Consciousness externalizes information analysis onto a hugely bottlenecked mental workspace. It's our superpower as a species but also an incredible weakness.
