In terms of energy produced, triple the nuclear generation would equal about 20% of Canada's current use of fossil fuels. If population growth continues at 2% (which is slower than it's been recently) and per capita energy use declines a little, it might be roughly one third of the additional new energy production expected to be demanded by 2050.
Much time has passed since Canada was a "nuclear technology leader." If it's to become one again it will be a very long journey.
Factiverse’s success rate is around 80%
That seems pretty close to useless even if we assume that the criteria they've used to define success are spot on. Funny how they don't mention it until the second to last paragraph.
Step 1: Get magic rocks.
Step 2: Now design the rest of the nuclear reactor.
And then there's Lemmy, where you can always count on some helpful stranger who's completely missed the point chiming in to tell you why you're wrong.
That's not how it was as of yesterday when I signed up just to see what all the fuss was about. (I don't think I'll be participating.)
Bluesky: You are immediately and automatically welcomed into the warm embrace of an algorithm that entices you into a parasocial relationship with the synthetic community it has created.
Mastodon: If you're lucky you'll stumble across a warm welcome for new users explaining how posts are called toots here, likes are called florps, and our version of Grok is called Garfiald.
It's the culture of an instance that makes the difference, not which software it runs, but there is often a correlation. Misskey tends to get more people who appreciate cute emoji and comfy vibes.
Calculator is next. What does the CE button do? That depends on what the AI thinks you want it to do.
I thought maybe it was just my imagination that it's been really slow since Wednesday, but you can see it clearly on the charts at the bottom of the page there.
Maximum rationalisation mode: Maybe Conservatives will now be so confident that they've already won the next election that those of them who are just feigning the hate for trans people, gays, immigrants, refugees, socialists, liberals, opponents of fascism, and whatever other scapegoats they can find in order to win popular support will feel that they can safely tone it down a little and just coast to victory without needing to stir up even more fear and anger.
We need to overcome those obstacles, otherwise we'll get so soft and stupid and distracted by nonsense that we willingly opt for fascism.
Is that "party" as in political party? Because I don't know about the rest of the world, but in Canada it seems like the main polarization is between the Conservatives who have their shiny new Conservative party on one side, versus everybody else who doesn't really have an official party they identify with all that much on the other side. It's not yet like the USA with its seemingly-eternal two-party system. I wonder if it looks like that if you view it through Twitter.
