OK, my bad. I was thinking about scenario like this: https://eneroutlook.enerdata.net/total-electricity-generation-projections.html

If you assume doubling of electricity production by 2050 (development + electrification) then 10% of that would mean more than double nuclear production.

5% would not really be a massive increase, my mistake, but would still mean more builds than retirement.

Could be, I don't follow that closely. I'm not aware of any that come close to the level of shitshow of say, Hinckley Point C. That matters.

Yeah, I found his credulousness about "AI"quite amusing. Like when he went to a wrong station in Japan, because he asked ChatGPT. And posted about it, not realizing how much of a dumbass it made him look like. But it's starting to wear off.

But hey, he at least admits there is a bubble.

And also, I haven't unfollowed/muted/blocked Mike Masnick yet. And he's at least twice as annoying about AI.

Unrelated: Did chrome just detect me writing about AI to shill Gemini to me? (puts on tinfoil hat)

If we're talking about the general West, then there new nuclear is probably fucked. Rest of the world still builds for reasonable costs. Not nuclear bro amounts, but still.

I think we could see a future where nuclear makes 5-10% of the world's electricity, which would technically make it a niche source of power, but it would also be a massive increase from today.

Looks like a hobby project of someone who has very particular views about computers.

I'm not sure what kind of neural network are they planning to run on a custom FPGA based GPU with 4GB RAM shared with CPU

He're hoping that the more he spends time gooning the more he'll leave the rest of us alone. crosses fingers

If I find a cool piece of driftwood and frame it, did I do art?

Kinda? I "found" a defective injection molding part, where the color of previous batch seeped in in a pattern that looks like a flower. It's really pretty. That there is no intention behind it makes it more interesting to me. It wasn't trivial to put it on a wall. I had to use nails and iron wire and then balance it. I am fine with not calling it art. On a scale 1-10 it definitely is not more than 2.

YAML is great if you need to make simple configuration files

... which is why no one uses it for things like Kubernetes /s
