this was before we figured out that you can use stranded aluminum wire and it’s fine this way

that, or copper clad aluminum

only residential wiring uses copper, everything from 350kV down to 400V lines is aluminum, and even in houses aluminum can be used too

most of pleroma instances are packed with nazis, go figure

also nostr is mostly altright and cryptobros (but it’s not activitypub)

old power supplies used transformers, which when not loaded behave like inductors, and this causes reactive current to flow. not a problem for the last 15+ years because everything uses switching mode power supplies now

both of them are cryptobros

ai can’t generate anything that is not averaged dogshit made by grinding every political cartoon to pixels and compressing it to paste. it categorically can’t generate caricatures, for example. it also shows a degree of creativity and familiarity with literature unlikely in average propmptfan. and also text is legible

you would need something silly like 50x more interceptors than ICBMs and SLBMs and these are more expensive and technically harder than either

The NMD program is limited in scope and designed to counter a relatively small ICBM attack from a less sophisticated adversary.

also ground-based interceptor is more expensive than ICBM, and you need one for each warhead and maybe also for decoys, and probably more than one to be reasonably sure. since everyone operates under MAD it doesn’t matter if you destroy most probable adversary’s nukes on the ground or in the air, so that’s one of reasons why ICBMs are a thing, and then SLBMs as a second line. cue arms race. ABM are considered destabilizing and are limited by treaties

ai could never make this

it’s not solved, it’s just companies saying that they think it will be solved in the future

none of that shit works and won’t work for a good minute, cryonics is rapture for nerds that take scifi way too seriously

what we already know tho is that because there’s one payment to store meat popsicle effectively forever and this shit is ran by true believer techbros, it tends to run out of money pretty regularly. that means they run out of liquid nitrogen and meat popsicles thaw, and this already happened more than once

there’s no practical defence against nukes

rocket lab is 4x too big (that’s quarterly revenue, not annual)

now that i’m thinking: would be 4000 VMs enough for spacex? maybe it is some smaller organization. i also take it is state-owned or similar, which narrows it down to a handful of countries that launch satellites

and probably not government agency, because these would have people competent enough to do a git pull

wait, i missed that, but then idk why it got called “semi-governmental”
