Science Memes@mander.xyz•If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky.English
171·9 days agoIt’s massively impractical. You’re never gonna believe it.
These things require silicon (good luck finding sand!), but they’re mostly glass and aluminum (ridiculously rare substances that we can’t use willy-nilly on stuff that only lasts for 25 years, and then how are we gonna recycle that? we have no idea how to recycle glass and aluminum!), and then to make it scalable you’re gonna want some safe battery technology like sodium-ion (but where are we gonna find a bunch of salt on this blue planet?)
Looking at the state of the world… you might be right.
Of course it is! We’re just animals, after all. Is documenting the behavior of different species of beetles a science? The only difference is that we can replicate behavior through culture, not just genes.
Chronologically, sure. But are years really the appropriate measure of accuracy here? Biological evolution moves a lot slower than cultural or technological evolution does.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is there a way to automate ad-free podcast downloads?English
5·30 days agoNot sure about Apple-mediated payments, but you can usually support the creator more directly and get an ad-free RSS feed that you can plug into the Podcasts app and it Just Works™. Usually ends up being a better deal for the creator, too.

Nix, but I’d only recommend it if you share my same brand of mental illness
if you want to, say, stop LLM server if available mem is under 8GB and start it again when it’s over whatever LLM needs (in my case it’s 64GB):
So this is the guy that bought all the RAM.
Why is that image giving the same vibes as:

All of the needed words. Gotta be careful here. LLMs don’t deal in information. But yes, they are good at stringing together tokens if that’s all you need.
It’s stabs all the way down

Linux@programming.dev•NixOS 25.11 "Xantusia" Ships with GNOME 49, Linux kernel 6.17English
16·3 months agoAnd unlike a regular Linux distro, you’ll have zero leftover systemd units or config files floating around in your FHS dirs. (You’ll have the binaries for Gnome sitting in /nix/store until you do a GC, so you can still quickly switch back if you want to.)

News@lemmy.world•Following months of trading insults, Trump offers Zohran Mamdani nothing but praise after their first meetingEnglish
50·3 months agoHe pulled a similar move with “Bernie bros” back in the day. He sees the rift in the Democratic party and thinks he can scoop up some disaffected leftists by aligning himself (in words alone) with a popular socialist.
He has no policy positions. It’s all posturing. He’ll fit whatever mold is necessary for that moment. It’s amazing he can posture this much without a spine, tbh.

Not for PFAS though?
