My big issue is that a lot of the Aussie subs went full right wing (Murdoch media type stuff.
I don’t even bother browsing it anymore.
Really hope we keep the click bait out of here and keep the more scientifically oriented community

It’s nothing to do with Microsoft really… clickbait
We had a solution for that though. Things like the carbon tax would have had a meaningful impact. And then the libs managed to make it toxic so it can’t be reintroduced
There’s a lot of problems with nuclear
We know it’s expensive, and it takes so long to build that if that’s the only plan, it makes no sense not to install solar. So ultimately my the time it is built, it will be even less economical
Same problems as coal. You can’t simply turn it on. It can take hours. That’s part of the reason for recent blackout in Vic (turbines need to sync up same speed and phase as the grid or they shit themselves, and that can take hours). Solar/batteries take 100ms and will always get the contract. Cheaper too…
It’s still centralized so power in rural areas will still be crap. If you put batteries and solar in those areas though and treat them as microgrids, everyone will have more reliable power. They can stop whining about their blackouts
The cost of solar and batteries right now is irrelevant. In 15 years by the time this plant is built, based on the current price drops, i think I calculated that batteries and solar are 66% - 90% cheaper. It would be stupid to think this technology doesn’t drop in cost, and improve in efficiency.
We have a lot of space here in Australia for solar. So, energy density doesn’t matter like many countries.
Instead of wasting all this gd money on nuclear, they should be using it to build manufacturing factories for lithium batteries and solar.
Nuclear doesn’t solve any real issues here in Australia.
I’m on beehaw. I think maybe that’s already blocked 😂
This doesn’t have much to do with Microsoft. They simply used their software. Microsoft wasn’t responsible at all for this. It was the websites
It seems the age of click bait has arrived at lemmy
Yeah. Biden said after “it’s hard to win a debate against a liar”.
If you’ve ever argued with someone on Facebook, it’s the same. Because it doesn’t matter what you say, they’ll simply claim you are lying and it’s easy to make up bullshit. Coming up with facts, supporting them and recalling your policies is a lot harder.
Whereas, Trump doesn’t need to worry about his policies. He just makes them up and throws in racism.
Trump wanted everyone to know he is a racism piece of shit. If anything, that was his only policy . I’ve never seen someone be so racist
What’s weird is that you hear Biden on different mics soon after, he sounded fine, so I think the mics may have needed adjusting too. But maybe the rules dictated both levels were the same or something
It wasn’t a great debate, but I’ve had a brainfart when talking too before.
Also, the policy is what matters. What matters is also that Biden obviously was doing the right thing. Just because he doesn’t scream at people doesn’t mean he’s not a good choice still.
Whereas Trump was clearly obviously lying constantly
I actually disagree. I feel it’s best to use for languages you’re good with, because it tends to introduce very subtle bugs which can be very difficult to debug, and code which looks accurate about isn’t. If you’re not totally familiar with the language, it can be even harder
My workmate literally used copilot to fix a mistake in our websocket implementation today.
It made one line of change… turned it it made the problem worse
Sorry, what’s malus?
Yep, maybe if you abuse me, it will add credibility…
Your post specifically was correlating the two. But, seems more like since you don’t have any real justification for your response, you’re resorting to calling me a “STAN” or whatever. If you want to do that, I prefer you stick to Reddit, where that behavior is commonplace.
Google have done very little to block other app stores or other ad providers on their platforms… That’s why they’re likely far behind. Apple on the other hand have a long history of blocking apps, or delaying them, and blocking App stores.
The proof is, most popular Android products aren’t even made by Apple (Samsung). And a lot of android products don’t even ship the Play store.
Complaints for IOS and Android developers are remarkably different. Many Android developers are complaining there are too many variants of devices, whereas many Apple developers (particularly bigger ones) complain about Apple business practices.
Getting locked out of the App Store, means your product is dead. Even worse, Apple used to ban entire products from their app store, explicitly if it replicates some of their functionality too (or even not even tell the developer why). If that’s not anti-competitive, I don’t know what is.
That’s true… Apparently 90% of their profit is ads
But they don’t block other ad providers in the google play store, and they don’t block other hardware using Android to show their own ads. In fact Apple could technically adopt android and put their own app store on it. You can’t do that on IOS.
In fact, Google is getting penalised simply because their search engine is dominating the market (but they’re not doing anything to prevent other companies in Chrome for instance for putting their own search engines and such). Whereas Apple is getting penalised for hostile behavior.
They actually are.
They’re literally NOTHING alike. Apple literally treats everyone like crap, but sugar coats it. The only real bad thing you could say about Google is privacy related honestly (and the fact they keep killing their own projects).
In fact, name any type of Apple user who they treat well?
I use a Mac Studio, and I’d love to work at Apple simply to help improve things on the inside. The crazy thing is that the problem isn’t the Apple developers, but select people in their team
Not a single person is surprised.
The reality is that Apple has been anti consumer and anti developer for 20 years. I was selling apple gear, and can practically pinpoint the moment they started screwing everyone
Nah… He’s offering it because he probably plans to leave politics (since he’s getting nowhere fast), and needs a cushy job. Guess who will be working at the firm involved with the nuclear reactors?
So you propose building a reactor that doesn’t have anything actually working beyond demonstration reactors yet?
It still has many of the same issues coal and gas has:
The only real problem it solves is that its more reliable than solar, and cleaner than coal. But… In two and a half years, solar panel efficiency also increased by 5%. So, in 10 years, that could be a 20% efficiency increase too… And in 6 years, the cost halved.
In the unlikely case the thorium plant does need to be shut down (natural disaster as an example, similar to Fukashima), we’re basically screwed. Microgrid’s wouldn’t have this trouble… Also, it basically requires that we just do nothing about the pollution for 10-20 years whilst they’re building it, or the extra power requirements we’ll need to transition to non-fossil fuel cars.
In 3 years, solar panel cost has mostly dropped in half (you can buy a 10kw system for the same as 6.6 a few years ago). Battery cost dropped 25% over the past year.
Nuclear can’t dispatch any power (incrementally or otherwise), until its fully built. Nuclear is also expensive power, and it can’t be dispatched as quickly or cheaply as solar/batteries (so the nuclear power station will remain offline). Don’t forget that generators need to sync to the grid fully, and can even lose sync and take hours to come back online (which happened to Loy Yang recently, and there were huge blackouts in victoria). When more despatchable power is needed, batteries will win EVERY time (because its cheap and instant).
Its reasonable to think that even 40kwh batteries will be cheaper and safer than even 10kwh batteries too and much higher efficiency solar panels (and possibly solar windows), so people will get off the grid and can have days of solar eclipse too.
Battery capacity is limited by cost still… It won’t be in the future (don’t forget, residential is about $ per kwh, NOT density)
One thing that is also misunderstood, is that panels still also produce power when its cloudy too… Solar panel efficiency in 10 years will increase rapidly, and this will only improve…
Nuclear is like an average olympic athlete who isn’t allowed to start a race for 10 years. Sure it looks competitive now, but there are so many other athletes around, that by the time Nuclear gets to the starting line, the other athletes will be finishing.
Thing is, Renewables are already cheap. By the time Nuclear is built, batteries and solar will be hugely cheaper than the price they are now (and in 10 years, its reasonable to expect more than half the price again).
The same thing that happened to NBN will happen to nuclear (basic Game theory). With NBN, competitors undercut the NBN with 5G, because FTTC and FTTN was so bad, and it wasted everyone’s money.
In this case, if they start building, everyone knows that power costs will be expensive, so renewable energy companies will target the prices, and encourage people to install solar and batteries anyway… If batteries are 1/5 of the price they are now, everyone will simply install 5x more batteries, more panels (because they’ll also be more efficient and cheaper than they are now, and work during worse conditions) and remove themselves from the grid. From a game theory point of view, Solar/batteries have a 10-15 year head start and are already cheaper. At the moment 12kwh seems to be the common capacity for batteries… However, if batteries drop a lot, 30-40kwh might be the normal. And it’s likely by the time Nuclear can be built that Lithium will no longer even be the norm for batteries (or if it is, they’ll probably be solid state and low risk). Sodium batteries were already introduced last year and are 25% cheaper instantly. Battery density doesn’t matter for houses (only cars), which really opens up options (all that matters is upfront cost and $ per kwh)
I bought my 6.6kw panels maybe 3 years ago, and 10kw is apparently already cheaper. If I wait 5 years, 15-20kw will probably be cheap (and I have more than enough roof space, so the only thing limiting me would be weather the power company allows it)
I have no idea why anyone would want a centralised grid. Last major power outage here in Victoria during storms was triggered because Loy Yang coal fell offline, and non-solid state power generation takes ages to come back online (it needs to sync up to the grid). Solar and batteries sync up immediately, so if its available, they will always beat Nuclear, and nuclear will simply be sitting there burning rods increasing our taxes and power prices (because nobody wants to use it, and its ultimately taxpayer money)… Similar to what happened with NBN (they ended up having to replace a lot of the copper anyway, and now yet again, they’ve had to upgrade to fibre)
If nuclear could come online tomorrow, it would make sense simply to get rid of coal. However Nuclear is basically playing a game where the competition has a 10 lead, and any innovation can be introduced to the market instantly. With Nuclear, whatever we start building now, we’re stuck with. You can’t simply just start incrementally updating parts
Someone made a good point on YouTube. What does Trump mean by “black jobs”? Aren’t they just jobs?
He can’t even not be racist at the best of times
