  • Paid off old nuclear is cheap but unsafe. New nuclear is the most expensive power there is, and takes forever to build and the result is not guaranteed to be reliable. Unless you're Russia, or China.

    And it's unclear where you'll be getting your fuel, nor is it guaranteed in future.

  • I never understood how programmers had no clue how the hardware worked. How can you write high performance code without understanding memory access optimization and opcode pipelines? Why even attempting rewriting old Fortran array code to C and then to C++ without understanding that Fortran array code fits cache lines just fine, while your newly shiny refactored code doesn't, so now you wonder why your code performance sucks?

  • You might have heard of these fossil fuels we're busily running out of. And fossil is still 80% of primary energy use so there is no renewable energy transition, and renewable infrastructure is being built almost exclusively using fossil fuels.

    So this means future energy rationing. What's the business case for AI?
