Nuclear power reactors built after the 1970's. New generation (5?, 6?) for baseload. Mox, msr, lead moderated... Renewables can bicker over the transient loads while reactors provide the 'always on, always needed' bulk of power load.
Fuel reprocessing to close the loop would be the grail at this point.
It would be nice to not need to worry about having a safe power source. Working remote, power blackout kills my ability to do my job
That one day they will harvest my brain and let it live a vat of dopamine
Just a happy brain in a happy jar
Who's excited for ai???
Perverted executives looking for an excuse to lay off their entire workforce.
Yep. And really just the media and general. Not to mention every company seems to market ai for something.
Itβs cool tech, but itβs covered everywhere, that is why I wanted to hear what other tech people are excited for
Regenerative agriculture
Efficient apps, everywhere. For example the COSMIC desktop is modern AND fast.
Not going to happen I don't think not while hardware is cheaper than development costs
I disagree. But these improvements are often low level, so that Meta can save costs doing the shit they do
All well and good but at the higher end they're writing applications in JavaScript and electron and using many times more system resources than C or rust, and it will always be cheaper for them to develop in higher level languages (especially when the performance problem can be offloaded on the user's machine instead of their own servers)
This. I think laziness is a huge problem.
It's not laziness it's economics.
It's cheaper for companies to have their developers spend less time developing in higher level languages and just throw more hardware at the problem than spend more money developing in a more difficult language
They aren't concerned with energy or material efficiency, only financial
Only their own specifically. Our economy wants people to only care about themselves. Even though this doesnt make sense as polluting the earth will directly impact you.
E and S band fibre data transmission. 300+ terabit speeds using fibre already in use
Differentiable programming. Differentiable ray tracers for example can be used to reconstruct the geometry of something you took a picture off.
