I'm in favor of making the NRC more receptive to novel reactor designs - as I understand it, it's currently extremely expensive and time-consuming to certify anything that isn't an LWR or PWR. But this is absolutely not the way to go about it, and the LLM craze is absolutely the wrong reason.

I bought a 2019 Shield in late 2020 and I still love it. Kodi with a Jellyfin library served from my NAS will happily eat pretty much any media you throw at it without complaint. That said - AV1, VP9.2, more RAM and some more CPU grunt would be welcome, and I'd probably pick up a successor in...

"Strap the person in question to the roof of an SSTO piloted by Joel Kinnaman" seemed to work okay.

That new platform will probably be Rednote, starting this whole dumb saga all over again.

I agree with your sentiment, but the issue there is that what he said is supposed to be true, but currently is not, and imo cannot be remotely true in a two-party system. Labeling oneself as one or the other and voting accordingly means tacit approval of everything that comes with that. At the...

Fixed. And even then, I'm not sure that necessarily follows since their costs presumably increase per query.

This article is uncomfortably charitable.

I was about to say something about these people looking at Hanlon's Razor and going "por qué no los dos?", but then I realized the only kind of razor they might be familiar with is the one kept in the bathroom.

If they really wanted to show some effort (not suggesting that they do), couldn't the newly-delivered Soyuz 5 be used for at least the upcoming cargo mission to the ISS? Seeing as their other pads are either not configured for Soyuz/Progress missions and/or located at latitudes that make...

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. On topic... well, no surprises there, really. I do regret that the pad wasn't disintegrated.

Ah yes, an article about orbital rockets and y'all made it about defining dictatorships in less than one page. Impressive, Ars.

It could enable an infinite number of so-called "new artists" and save an infinite amount of time for professionals using it to do actual work, and it still would not be worth the cost to humanity in terms of environmental, societal, and cultural damage. Nvidia et al are now talking about GPUs...

I'm certainly not opposed to paying for things with money instead of my privacy, but as it stands Kagi would be way too expensive for me. If I could get a hundred searches a day for five bucks, I'd be interested.

This thread is the perfect example of why I don't spend much time on Ars anymore. I miss the days when we stuck to the subject matter, at least for the first ten pages. I think more aggressive moderation is in order.

The drill is actually a very angry Joel Kinnaman with a hammer. On topic, this is the kind of mission I like to hear about - the kind that enable or enhance actual operations once you're there. Most are still so focused on the upgoing and I feel like we rarely hear about what comes after.

"Any complaints, take it up wit welwala bosmang, sasa ke?"

Between Denuvo, the microtransaction bullshit, and the reportedly shockingly poor CPU performance across all platforms, this is an easy skip.

Indeed. Seems they really do like playing dial-a-rocket with all these variants.

From what I can tell, the LM8 also differs in that it uses a hydrolox second stage that is typically the third stage of the LM7A. So it seems to be an LM7A without the kerolox middle stage and with fewer boosters.

What will this do to subscriber counts? There are lots of channels that have heaps of obviously inactive subscribers, and honestly pruning those so as to better represent reality wouldn't be so bad imo, though I'm sure the channel owners would disagree.
