damn i wonder if he had a PMC

nvidia at least sells shovels, they already made some real profit unlike openai

How do you know that Threads won’t inject ads as posts?

Still no reason to defederate, huh?

But when i say that Netanyahu did his own variant of strategy of tension i get comments removed on reddit

I don’t know about going downhill in general, but there are some that use regenerative braking (regular braking, on flat terrain) so maybe

wait, 55 years old satellite still has fuel for thrusters?

yeah it’s replacement for google only if you don’t care if any of information received is accurate at all

for now we can dazzle the most probable adversary with invoices

eight years ago war looked very different

please not seals, pick any other sof unit

seals will get book deal before even they’re done

The Most Insane Weapon You Never Heard About

looks inside

an insane weapon that i have heard about

anyway teller just wanted to make biggest boom possible and had a bad habit (for a scientist) of clinging to his original idea even when it was proven unworkable. “just make it bigger, then it’ll work” it never worked and never could. he also stole credit from ulam and was personal enemy of oppenheimer

this story was out almost a month ago https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/oct/16/russia-suspected-of-planting-device-on-plane-that-caused-uk-warehouse-fire

societies in turmoil find it easier to acquire both lunatics and explosives

i’d just want to notice it’s much easier when you can just pick them up from field and melt them in a kettle

That’s nine dead by now

ah yes it’s reactionary to checks notes not support the righteous biggest bubble since dotcom era

you okay out there bud?

what neutrons? we’re talking about shielding of spacecraft moving out of earth’s magnetosphere, not a spacecraft travelling through core of active nuclear reactor

the kind of radiation that is relevant are high energy protons (and alphas and electrons, with a sprinkle of heavier nuclei) from sun, mostly. there’s no relevant source of neutrons

(and incidentally water is pretty good at absorbing neutrons too)

water does not expand upon irradiation, what the fuck are you talking about. you can’t reflect high energy protons (what would be important in radiation in interplanetary travel) you can only either absorb them or let them pass, there’s no third option, same for anything above uv and electrons

to a first approximation (rather good one at that) (for gammas) absorption is proportional to how much mass per area unit is used as a barrier. 1 g/cm^2 of water is just as good barrier as 1 g/cm^2 of lead or steel. this means that you can absolutely use completely normal, regular potable water as a radiation shield

Water in its purest form would have to take on mass to “absorb” radiation, expanding a hull and destroying it over time.

i’m not even sure what it’s supposed to mean, unless your understanding of ionizing radiation is uncut nonsense

chemically speaking, it’s completely fine to irradiate water because whatever is formed as a result of radiolysis would just most of the time form water back, with the rest becoming very weak solution of hydrogen peroxide. this is big part of the reason why water is used as a coolant in nuclear reactors

there are also specific nuances to stopping anything that is not gammas, like secondary x-rays, gammas from neutron absorption etc and this actually favours light element shields, like water or liquid hydrogen, for this kind of radiation shielding
