Ugh, this SCOTUS case really worries me. Trump just gutted the endangerment finding and federal climate legislation, and now it seems quite possible that SCOTUS might say states can’t do anything about it (i.e. sue the fossil fuel companies)

@carnage4life @shanselman instead of seniors spending their time coercing the desired outputs from an LLM, they could be reviewing the code from juniors instead, and helping them learn, something which is seemingly impossible for this generation of LLMs
France, which set records for Europe’s most expensive electricity in history during a widespread outage of over half of its nuclear fleet in 2022-2023 due to design and construction flaws, just saw exciting new lows in its electricity prices.
The reason?

@brad aah, well the *other* context of this thread is the recent Air Force press releases about transporting inactive SMRs on airplanes, which… also seems like a bad idea
@brad I’m not going to watch a video right now, but did you see the full context of this thread?
There’s a reason we stopped putting nuclear reactors on airplanes and it has nothing to do with technological limitations.
What’s really funny is Trump is pushing nuclear power hard and the Air Force is putting out press releases about carrying a non-operational 250kW reactor on a C-17 Globemaster as if it’s some kind of unprecedented historic first.
Did you all forget when you *operated* a reactor four times as powerful on a plane? Nearly three quarters of a century ago back in 1955?
For the first time, a US Air Force C-17 Globemaster III has airlifted a complete, 5 MW nuclear reactor and reassembled i.

A concept from atmospheric science I keep looping on:
The Clausius-Clapeyron relation says that the saturation vapor pressure of water increases exponentially with temperature, allowing for roughly 7% more water vapor per 1 degree C of warming.
Water vapor is also a greenhouse gas, making this a positive feedback loop.
More water vapor in the atmosphere means less liquid water on the surface, so this effect leads to continental drying, which is happening at a rapid pace.
Mike Johnson, the racist piece of shit who supports “great replacement theory”, just denied the request for civil rights leader Jesse Jackson to lie in honor in the Capitol
House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office has denied a request to have the late Rev. Jesse Jackson lie in honor in the United States Capitol Rotunda due to precedents that such honors are usually only designated for presidents.

@Viss @tychotithonus I don’t know what a Moltbot is, but your experience sounds similar to mine with LLMs.
They generate bug-ridden code, and you can point the bugs out, and it will fix them but then forget bugs you previously pointed out and generate code with the same bugs as before. And at that point they’re just wasting your time.
I do find them effective as a rubber duck, but I sometimes get similar rubber ducking effectiveness out of unresponsive chat channels.
@tychotithonus wouldn’t that just be taking its existing code and regurgitating it with errors?
Apparently I missed it was the 25th Anniversary of All Your Base Are Belong to Us a few days ago:
TIL: the US operated a nuclear reactor on an airplane (though it wasn't used to power the flight).
The NB-36H completed 47 test flights and 215 hours of flight time (during 89 of which the reactor was operated) between September 17, 1955, and March 1957
