The article mentions Kairos Power but doesn't mention that their reactors in development are molten-salt cooled. While they'll still use Uranium, its a great step in the right direction for safer nuclear power.

If development continues on this path with thorium molten-salt fueled and cooled reactors, we could see safe and commercially viable nuclear (thorium) energy within our lifetimes.

To my layman's knowledge, using thorium molten-salt instead of uranium means the reactor can be designed in a way where it can't melt down like Chernobyl or Fukushima.

Edit: The other implication of not using uranium is that the leftover material is harder to make in to bombs, so the technology around molten-salt thorium reactors could be spread to current non-nuclear states to meet their energy needs and reduce reliance on coal plants around the planet.

And police officers

Agree with the automakers that the tech isn't ready.

The article doesn't mention how many times these cars slammed the brakes in false positive situations.

The cars I've driven with this are too conservative with braking in a lot of common scenarios like driving curvy mountain roads, or parallel parking in the city near pedestrians or taxis. I've had it brake multiple times in normal driving scenarios wtirh false positives.

The car takes over and decides to full stop immediately, almost causing me to be rear ended multiple times. Eventually the dealership turned off the feature, but only after multiple complaints from customers and media attention.

I vowed to never get another car with this system because of how bad the experience is. But looks like that may be an option only with used cars, due to the bew mandates.

Sounds good to investors

Would it be feasible to make an activitypub based successor?

It was a great service to find people with similar worldview, values, and interests.

I hate Pinterest lol, best thing about Kagi is being able to block whole sites and it remembers your preferences. I may come back to Kagi but I didn't feel like funding their AI features development. Now Im using Searx and 4get cause they're free.

When your GPU is from 2017

In 1873 Japan changed from the Chinese Lunar Calendar to the Western Gregorian calendar during the Meiji Restoration, but kept the Chinese Zodiac.

Meaning a Japanese person born at the beginning of the year (between New Year's Day of the Gregorian calendar and New Year's Day of the Chinese Lunar Calendar) will have a different Chinese Zodiac than a Chinese Person.

For example, someone born between January 1st 2025 and January 28th 2025 inclusive would be considered the Year of the Snake in Japan, whereas in the rest of East and Southeast Asia, someone born on those dates would still be the year of the Dragon.

In China and the rest of East and Southeast Asia, the Lunar New Year January 29th 2025 would be the beginning of the year of the snake.

Edit: Living in Japan and dating Japanese people, they really don't like when you tell them this lol.

Leaderboard here for anyone curious

Yep everyone blocking Pinterest.

Also the most prioritized website is Wikipedia. Guess everyone wants facts in the the age of hallucinatory AI

We're all just donuts. Run the connector mouth to butt with a really long flexible hose.

Can't blame people for assuming the worst after YouTube removed the star system and then dislikes.

There's no good way to see if a video is trash. Especially if comments are disabled.

Right looks like instagram DM in dark mode, and left looks like a list of accounts he doesn't follow (looks like they are a Blue rectangle with the text 'Follow' inside)

potato.jpg idk I'm speculating.

Maybe he thought he could hide it if he didn't follow the accounts and only stuck to DM's lol

I think it's legit. Some of the big bois had shoulder heights of 4-5 meters, and if the human depicted is 1.5~1.75 meters, it looks ok.

I cancelled my Kagi subscription for a similar reason, didn't wanna fund their AI tool development.
