The two nuclear developmemts I’m watching closest are the test molten salt reactor in Oak Ridge, TN and just recently heard about a new permit to build one for Abilene Christian University in Texas.

I was at my company’s booth at a career fair earlier this week and it felt like every other student was looking for an internship in “machine learning”. When I asked follow up questions about what sort of experience they’d had or projects done or what they wanted to do with it in their career, crickets.
To be fair, 2nd most popular was “CAD” which is also not a job.
I’m not entirely sold on the argument I lay out here, but this is where I would start were I to defend using chatGPT in school as they laid out in their experiment.
It’s a tool. Just like a calculator. If a kid learns and does all their homework with a calculator, then suddenly it’s taken away for a test, of course they will do poorly. Contrary to what we were warned about as kids though, each of us does carry a calculator around in our pocket at nearly all times.
We’re not far off from having an AI assistant with us 24/7 is feasible. Why not teach kids to use the tools they will have in their pocket for the rest of their lives?
Nope, I work in STEM but not IT nor software.
I’m a serial hobbyist and actively pursue projects outside the scope of my job and education background.
FlightAware shows their departures looking pretty typical for on-time 🤷
So will people pay to have Nicolas Cage in their dreams, or will they pay to not have him in their dreams?
Careful there, bud, you’re singing the siren song of bank bailouts.
Could one just swap the credit card and email associated with the Pelaton account, and transfer the account to the new owner of the used machine? No “reactivation” fee needed if it never goes idle.
Caution needed if handing it over to a rando from Craigslist, ofc. But if I were selling to friend or family, I’d be willing to put in a little effort to save them $95.
The few people I know who are into the Pelaton community do it for the competition/gamification element. They watch their status against global leaderboards and are highly motivated by it.
For those that it works for, great. I am highly motivated by competition, but those prices are too rich for my blood.
Maybe there are also people into Pelaton who are like those who pay a monthly gym subscription even if they have space at home? And could buy a home setup that saves them money. The monthly pay makes them commit financially and motivates them to go to the gym consistently.
I interpreted it as you don’t heat the pot while the frog is still in the pond. You only apply heat slowly once the front is already in the pot.
Don’t load up the ads until the users are already on Threads. Wait until they are active on Threads, then crank up the ads when it’s more difficult for the users to leave.

Not Ello!
Jk, I was the only person I knew with an Ello account. I know more people on lemmy and mastodon and fediverse stuff than I did on Ello. It didn’t take much to predict it wouldn’t work out.
Couples going through a rough patch can open-source their marriage.
Aw man, the six-figure salary alpha dude bros are still going to be the only ones getting girls because they’re the only ones who can afford multiple subscriptions.
I was given one of those. I tried the app once and immediately uninstalled it. It’s worthless. The “let’s put AI in your computer mouse, toothbrush, and toilet scrubber!” of ten years ago.
13 ft Sunfish with Lateen rig. I’m thinking about swapping it to a Bermuda rig just to try it out.
marriage with chatbots
Subscription- based, I’m sure. We got a divorce because the $7.99 per month plan got jacked up to $12.99 and they started inserting ads!
My extremely progressive by American farmer standards uncle, who has driven a Prius for non-farm travel for over a decade, would probably stare at this article silently, turn, and walk out to the barn to continue working. Just about the harshest response that man ever gives.
“Post less” isn’t going to help a platform that’s still in early days that needs more active posters.
Best I can think of with a 30 second investment of time and thought is:
when you post about your perspective/experience, post knowing it is only your perspective. You speak for no one else.
when other people post with perspectives that differ from yours, default to believing them
(I also feel like these two cover not just blackness, but women and LGBT+ and even white men who don’t have the same perspectives as the majority on this white-and-western platform)
Edit: In response to the four guidelines:
Listen more to more Black people
Sounds good but I don’t see how this works in practice here. Anyone claiming to be black on an anonymous platform is 50/50 or more likely to be not black. Reddit had an entire “as a black man” sub making fun of people posing as black and the same problem will exist here.
Post less – and think before you post
See above, not what fediverse needs.
Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it
For sure.
Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects
I have literally never seen an instance identified as black-led, so not sure who to be supporting. It also seems like it would have a similar problem to a topic that starts getting a bit niche. Like, a movie community will do fine, get more niche to a horror movie community and momentum dies out quickly. Horror aficionados are best off posting to the movie community and non-horror people can deal with the occasional post that doesn’t inspire them.
Post something to the movie community about black actors and directors in the horror film industry, or about black characters, or about a horror story that is built on (or appropriated from) a black story, hell yeah, I’m in. Don’t spin it off to a different community or instance because most will never see it.
Do you just do CAD though? Our Mech Es do a lot in CAD but not solely. Even our drafters do a lot of things not in CAD. If anyone ever asked me what I do for work, “CAD” would not be my answer.
I categorize it as a tool, not a job. And personally, I would find a job that is, say, 75% or more CAD to be boring as hell.
