  • What are your thoughts and feelings towards nuclear power?

    Jump

  • It's the least bad option for generating the base load. Although properly managed wind or hydro can deliver some, it's usually not enough.

    That being said, I do think some of the fears are justified. It's about tradeoffs: do you want a low level of constant pollution (coal), or a catastrophic disaster once every 100 years (nuclear). Then there is also the waste, which is "solved" only if you permanently sacrifice some area, and hope geological movements or underground water don't touch it. So it's should definitely be an important part of the mix, but the risks shouldn't be dismissed.

    France can serve as a positive example. Imo they are doing energy policy right.

  • Not really. I do think it's posible to love multiple people at the same time.But being partnered on a daily level takes time and effort. Context switching it a huge mental load, especially when combined with emotions.So - one primary partner for me.

  • Ironically if you really want employees to be motivated by more than money, you need to pay even more.

    Only people who don't worry about money can afford to be motivated by other things.

  • what will happen to all the datacenters when the bubble bursts?

    Jump

  • It's kinda hard to reuse datacenter hardware for home use. Many connectors are different, form factors too. Not to mention the noise, in servers noise is about the last priority.

    Selfhosting enthusiasts will get great deals, but I doubt it will become mainstream.

  • Some will continue working just drop the compute price by a lot. Others will be mothballed for a while until someone can figure out how to run them profitably.

    Expect a lot of new (or even resurrected old) use cases to pop up. For example I expect cloud gaming to make a huge comeback driven by cheaper prices. Us mortals won't be able to afford our own GPUs for a while, but there will suddenly be a surplus of data center units for rent.

  • Depends on communities you join. Some do, especially on the .ml instance.

    It takes a while of browsing around, joining and unjoning different coms before you find a good balance. Lemmy is a very disjointed place without a good search engine and multiple instances of the same thing. It's what makes it good, but also frustrating sometimes.

  • Cars are like horses: people will soon realise EVs are just better, claims VW boss

    Jump

  • We need to separate the feeling of driving from practicality. EVs are pleasant to drive for sure. Having to plan your trips around charging is annoying, there isn't really much progress there.The only reason I want a car is to do spontaneous trips to less populated areas. I already have range anxiety, I top up as soon as I'm below 1/3 of the tank. Batteries make it worse.

  • Good luck out there.

  • Surprisingly not completely out of touch, companies suffering from middle management long predates AI.

    Of course he falls into the same error as most corporate people assuming that people are born with skills rather than trained for them. Why not retrain that 20% into builders and sellers.
