  • TURKEY POWER

  • They're over by a factor of 6 which would add up to 21 hours, not 24. I don't know what they've done to get 2.5 million, it should be 417 thousand with those numbers.

    Edit: Oh dear. They said each oven could completely cook 6 turkeys in a day so they rounded to that number. At least it no longer reads GW/day.The source

  • 1500 cubic meters

    Did you really pick the figure from the RBMK reactor type?

    For PWRs, 250 m³ of LILW per GW annum is 28.5 m³ of LILW per TWh.

    2.5 million turkeys in a 2.4 kW oven for 3.5 hours uses 0.021 TWh.

    So 2.5 million turkeys and 0.6 m³ total low and intermediate wastes generated. Most of this can be released after ~300 years with negligible activity over natural background. That is a long time but not "basically forever".

  • They're talking about recycling the fuel and putting it back into the reactors. Unfortunately it's cheaper to mine fresh fuel than to reprocess used fuel ... as long as you just ignore the waste problem.

  • No permanent storage location for the waste has been found, to date.

    to burn the unburned fuel you would have to breed the material

    France reprocesses spent fuel. With increased scale it would be cheaper and cut down on the volume of waste that must be dealt with regardless of if there's a nuclear industry in the future.

  • Too right. They wanted to show off the design of the Apple I so much, they didn't even put a case around it. It's all about the aesthetics with Woz.

  • Tesla Has Highest Rate of Deadly Accidents Among Car Brands, Study Finds

    Jump

  • I expect (hope) it's a small factor, but I wonder where pedestrian fatalities fit in. Several of the worst models seem to be large SUVs or sports cars - alongside these Teslas and some rather cheaper compact cars.

  • Go to the actual report. There is one table for the top fatalities by vehicle model and another for the top average fatalities by manufacturer.

  • As a note, it looks like the data they used is publicly available from the NHTSA. They mention that "models not in production as of the 2024 model year, and low-volume models were removed from further analysis." I wonder where the Hummer and Rivian show up there since they are not mentioned in the report whatsoever.

  • Yeah the Rolling Stone article is written really weirdly. I don't think it's technically wrong anywhere but it reads really misleadingly when you compare it to the actual report.

    Like it leads with "the group identified the Tesla Model S and Tesla Model Y as two of the most dangerous cars" - meaning they are in the list - at sixth and twenty first places respectively. The mix is really weird though. As you mention the top of the list is cars like the Chevy Corvette and Porsche 911, but also things like the Mitsubishi Mirage and a load of Kia models. So it seems like there's a lot to interpret there.

    Certainly it's somewhat damning that despite the driver assistant technology, these models are not particularly safer. But I think other manufactures have a wide range of vehicles at different price points that also vary in safety, which brings their averages below Tesla's in the final rankings.

  • Oh boy what a beautiful regex. I'm sure it does something logical and easy to understand.

    “abbabba” doesn't match the original regex but “abbaabba” does

  • It's Cannonical. They prefer implementing everything themselves fast, rather than developing a more sustainable project with the rest of the community over a longer timescale. When they do that, there will be very little buy-in from the wider community.

    Others could technically implement another snap store for their own distro, but they'd have to build a lot of the backend that Cannonical didn't release. It's easier to use Flatpak or AppImage or whatever rather than hitch themselves onto Cannonicals's homegrown solution that might get abandoned down the line like Mir or Ubuntu Touch.

  • It's Cannonical. They prefer implementing everything themselves fast, rather than developing a more sustainable project with the rest of the community over a longer timescale. It makes sense that when they do that, there will be very little buy-in from the wider community. Much like Unity and Mir.

    As you say - why would others put time into the less supported system? Better alternatives exist. If Canonical want their own software ecosystem, they'll have to maintain it themselves. Which, based on Mir and Ubuntu Touch, they don't have a good track record of.

  • Firebrick thermal energy storage could reach 170 GW in the U.S. by 2050

    Jump

  • They're not converting it back into electricity, this is for industrial process heat. They have 100 units of electrical energy and 98 units go into whatever the industry needs to heat.

    Lots of industries use ovens, kilns or furnaces. Mostly fueled by gas at the moment. Using electricity would be very expensive unless they can timeshift usage and get low spot prices. Since they need heat anyway, thermal storage is pretty cheap and efficient.
