Could be very high, even the waste heat from the compression could be used to achieve more compression and turbines get to above 90%, that all depends on the scales they’re building this at. 70% overall doesn’t seem unrealistic as an educated guess.
Anime and japanese (and chinese?) culture often uses German or French imagery or words in ways that either lack some context and sometimes it’s complete gibberish. The “Frieren” anime uses German words for names that would not be names in German. (Frieren is a verb means, “being cold”, but actually not the kind of emotionally cold that the character Frieren is either, it just means being physically cold).
The use of latin is actually deeper rooted in mysticism and religion. Nobody really used it as a spoken language after the fall of the roman empire, but the chatholic church still used it it’s ritualistic language until the bible was translated to German by Martin Luther. That’s not the only case of that happening either, if you look into the sumerian and related languages, they shared an alphabet, but the actual grammar and pronunciation and use shifted and it evolved in a way that the older language grew to be exclusive for religious rituals, while the more common language was a different one.
Another example that might have slipped your attention is mathematic’s use of Greek symbols. We don’t speak Greek. We don’t have those symbols readily available on keyboards or anything.
Programming languages of course. They’re basically exclusively in English. Some of the concepts in programming are actually cumbersome to translate and make the most sense if you have an understanding of English.
If you write something that you base on your previous work, but you don’t cite your previous work, that’s a problem.
How is the peer reviewer supposed to know who the author is, I thought obfuscating that was the whole point…
Highly recommend it. Although slight warning, you go to 4 new planets with different mechanics, and one is a “hate it or love it” situation. I loved it, but clearly a significant number of people didn’t.
Sounds good, good luck to the dev!
All the stuff I enjoyed is gone, and everything they make now seems so empty and pessimistic now.
Eeeeeh. First of all, all the stuff you liked is still there.
But also good stuff is rare. You really need to know where to look and which tips to follow. For example, if you disregard anime as a whole, you’ve probably missed absolute 10/10 media experiences you can’t find anywhere else. Sometimes it’s about leaving your comfort zone and trying something new.
But then also, about the only really good star wars content we got in the last… 30 years is Ep. 3, the clone wars animated series (later seasons) and Andor. And they made SO MUCH.
Also, maybe you should make your own. If you like the old stuff so much, try to make it yourself and give it a spin. get close to it, recapture, reinterpret, re-imagine. Maybe you’ll do that for 15 years, go back to your inspiration and find that your “imitation” has surpassed it.
Necessity is the mother of invention. If you’re bored make your own.
You have all the blueprints for the stuff you like. What else are you going to do? You can watch reruns, of course… not sure if it will be equally satisfying though.

Not sure about “hate”, but it’s clearly a bubble and all the billions are going into AI and not things that could prevent an economic downturn.
Even if you’re not opposed to it for copyright or environmental or social reasons, AI is currently wrecking markets and finances for the next decade.
The thing that’s crazy here, and that imo clearly shows that this is a 100% political, manipulative move, is that it’s a court. They don’t just grab people and declare people guilty or flip coins or something. A trial can end in a “not guilty” verdict. That’s the point.
There is only one reason to threaten a court: if you already know beyond any doubt that whoever is accused of something is guilty AND you don’t like the outcome and consequences of a guilty verdict.
I mean, you have to modify it of course. You can’t literally blame cloudflare.
But you can modify everything so that it’s a funny joke that still looks like the cloudflare error that people know.
Theoretically yes, but in practice nuclear is very complicated technology that requires a lot training, expertise, care, maintenance and oversight.
Putting it into military ships and ice breaking ships makes sense because of their unique circumstances.
With cargo ships there are a lot of additional complicating factors: cargo ships regularly break and sink. Not a lot, but frequently enough that it is a legitimate concern. We already have trouble regulating regular cargo ships sea-worthiness and issues like environmental pollution through ship breaking, notably in india. That’s another issue btw…
The biggest problem is the sheer number of cargo ships. Any risk of an accident gets multiplied by that.
You can browse the wiki page on nuclear propulsion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_marine_propulsion (btw, if it was economic to do it they would have done it already) It’s “obvious” that the number of ships with nuclear propulsion are in the low hundreds. Meanwhile we have more than 100.000 merchant ships in operation at the moment. https://www.ener8.com/merchant-fleet-infographic-2023/
Operating “a few” ships safely is one thing, doing it with literally hundreds of thousands is something completely different.
We can’t replace it fully.
We can replace it with cars. We can replace it with trains as well, but electrified track is more expensive than just plopping a diesel engine there and filling her up. Track for that is just steel+concrete and rocks and stuff.
We can not replace it with air planes, helicopters, rockets. At all. We could reduce air travel and stuff like fighter jets.
We can also not replace it for cargo ships. And that’s pretty bad news. Luckily ships are crazy efficient, so the actual CO2 and other pollution per ton and kilometer is very very low. If you get a delivery, that delivery comes in a fossil fuel truck to your doorstep, that truck will emit more CO2 than the ship will, going either from china to Rotterdam or the US westcoast. And also global transportation is probably more than necessary.
Anyway, the big problem we can solve are cars and planes.
There are also a bunch of chemical and industrial processes that need coal. Fertilizer and steel are two big ones.
No I was trying to explain what bitcoin lacks in terms of backing, in comparison to “traditional” currencies. We don’t “need” need the dollar or euro or whatever. Dollar in particular is in for a rough ride.
The US dollar technically isn’t backed by anything either
No, it is. it’s not “hard backed” by X dollars to Y grams of gold, but it absolutely is backed in the sense that McDonalds (and hundreds of other companies) does it’s accounting in USD and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future and doesn’t expect wild fluctuations in ingredient prices or wages and wants to prevent those from fluctuating, because when that happens, their business math gets harder.
You can go outside the door with 100$ in your pocket, vanish for 3 months, come back and it’ll still be usable to buy food, a hotel room or a transportation ticket.
Not much to say. I’m glad one more person got out.
Crypto is still an interesting concept. Maybe not the exact same way that bitcoin does it, but nevermind that. The problem with bitcoin is, was and probably will be, that it is not actually materially backed by anything. Could be real estate, could be agriculture, could be some kind of industry that says, you can always get our product for exactly _______ many bitcoins and we change prices every 6-24 months.
Doing it doesn’t make sense because it would drastically over or undervalue the thing and without that kind of backing the currencies will never stabilize enough to be useful.
The concept of having a single mathematically verifiable, unchangeable record of ownership that doesn’t depend on a nation state is still theoretically useful and interesting though. But obviously none of the current implementations are all that useful. Or they would have “won” by now.
I came ready to hate with bias because I often don’t like wrappers, but at least the .format seems like an objective improvement.
But I never understood why matplotlib insists on ax, fig and that’s still in there…
Directly working with matplotlib classes tends to be more clear and concise than pyplot, makes things easier when working with multiple figures and axes, and is certainly more “pythonic”.
I disagree.
Looks like a solid project overall! Thanks for your effort!
Oh yeah. My favorite (and only) plugin so far is the https://github.com/twibiral/obsidian-execute-code
Let me explain: Obsidian is basically a very fancy wrapper around a folder with markdown files in it. (which makes it git compatible, which is one of the upsides). In Markdown, you can define codeblocks, with syntax highlighting, because of course you can, programmers will improve their own tools first. Now, there are two cases when you would do this:
“new”?
The fediverse is really nice. Some cool advances in programming, but nothing major.
Obsidian is really nice, with plugins can do virtually everything you’d want from a note taking or even writing app.
localsend is a syncing/sending solution via wifi for smartphones or computers in the same network.
Don’t confuse how you think it works, what people say how it works and how it actually works.
Funnily enough, there is a harry potter fanfic “…and the methods of rationality” that put it very succinctly:
The coverup protects people, but if everyone is expendable at any time, they would not need to do that.
If they are doing it anyway, to protect people, that must mean those people aren’t expendable.
If people in corporate or democratic systems are replaceable and these people aren’t replaceable, the actual system at work can’t be corporate or democratic.
Put differently, even if Trump is a figurehead and replaceable, the structure behind him ultimately isn’t. It’s very specific people in very specific positions of power and wealth, who want to increase their power and wealth. Having one of them replaced (forced to give up power or wealth or both), is the opposite of what they want to achieve.
Also, the whole “coverup” is theater. It’s been theater since Epstein died. Everyone already knows, there is no amount of proof that will make people do things now, especially not after ICE is already doing what they are doing, and especially not after the different hints at war and annexation of Greenland, Canada and other issues and the whole military leadership staying silent and signaling at least tolerance if not agreement.
Having it made public may actually have the opposite effect than is intended and expected of a just society. “Look at the crimes you can get away with if you follow us.” “The legal apparatus can’t touch us, what makes you think you can do anything.”
