We all build models of the world based on the information we're exposed to. Majority of the information we have about the world doesn't come through direct experience, and that makes it difficult for us to evaluate the accuracy of the information we operate on. As long as our direct experience doesn't contradict our model then we have no reason to question it.
What we can be said to know fundamentally is what we have genuine experience with. Somebody working in a particular domain or studying it for personal interest has fundamental understanding of the problems solved in that domain.
Reading books. It's a completely different experience from consuming media online or watching shows. I think that books are a unique medium for communicating ideas, and it's tragic that reading long form narratives is becoming less common.
Absolutely. Most non-fiction books I've read averaged about 9 hours for me to complete. 9 hours listening to an expert is such a trivial investment compared to a lifetime of half-baked speculation on a topic one doesn't really understand. In 9 hours an expert can provide proper context, break down complex topics, and they have the space to fully explain their perspective and the stories that brought them to it.
The only content as informative and concise as a good book is a good lecture.
💯
yeah I'm partial to triple backtick syntax as well
I was saying that HramonyOS is a fork of Android. Linux is obviously a separate story from that. And here are a couple of article about China ditching Windows for a homegrown Linux distro
This is a national security concern for China, so I expect there will be a sustained push to move everything to homegrown platforms.
It's actually happening. HuaWei pretty much switched to their own HarmonyOS that's been forked from Android, and China has an initiative to replace Windows with Linux on the desktop as well.
Android fork isn't Linux. I mean actual linux, with actual freedom, and taking advantage of the open source community and existing software.

Can you tell me about this?

Yeah, it's promising and even MacOs numbers are a positive because it takes away from the Windows share. I think the future is looking up for Linux if these trends continue.
We just have to push ChromeOs and develop android apps and it's done
indeed
Doesn't seem to be on sci-hub yet unfortunately.
Presumably this could go the other way eventually as well to construct sensations directly in the brain. That'll be a whole new level of VR. You could potentially share mind states as well using this kind of tech. You'd encode an experience from one brain and then decode in another.
What part of nuclear power is very clearly being utilized for electricity production and heating are you not able to wrap your head around. The fact that the same plant is providing both is a net positive. Both electricity and heating are needs that have to be filled. So, not really sure what point you're trying to make regarding the fact that waste heat is being utilized for heating. The alternative is to do what Germany is doing and burn coal instead. I guess that's what you must consider to be preferable.
The use case in this article cannot be fulfilled effectively using solar or wind power sources. The fact that you evidently can't understand this is truly amazing.
Presented with a non-electricity production use case for nuclear power continues to claim that non-electricity production use-cases for nuclear energy are unrealistic. 🤷♂️
What about "waste heat utilisation of nuclear electricity production" is too hard for you to understand? I still challenge you to find a single non-military, non-experimental nuclear energy use example that is not done for electricity production. Good luck finding one.

I distinctly recall @poVoq confidently explaining to me that using nuclear plants in this way was fantastical and unrealistic because nobody in the west is doing it.
District heating was not among the non-electricity use-cases you talked about that time. But this is still nuclear electricity production, just with some heat recycling added, so I stand by my point that non-electricity production use-cases for nuclear energy are unrealistic 🤷♂️

@poVoq@technology The nuclear salt water rocket would probably work, but you’d need orbital or lunar construction to build one.
