If a couple percent of the population stops shopping there, Amazon will miss it’s quarterly numbers and the stock price will fall sharply.

There have already been resignations over it. Not quite sure how many

It’s a gift link; few people need that.

The existing large-scale batteries are largely lithium. There are a bunch of iron-chemistry ones and sodium-ion ones which have been deployed over the past year, with factories going up to scale them up. I’m not expecting to be limited by lithium availability for stationary batteries.

They’re talking about 5+ years on the new nuclear in these. And they haven’t done it before, so a 30% deadline slip is realistic.

You can put up a lot of wind and solar in that time.

Mostly:

• New nuclear is really expensive
• It also takes a long time to deliver
• The new reactor examples in here consist of reactors from suppliers who haven’t done that before

So it has the feel of a plan to promise to spend a lot of money several years from now, and get a lot of PR points today, and quietly cancel the project later.

Mind, you, they reportedly set the permissive action link code to all-zeros for decades.

It’s both - I’m well aware that it’s not just pressing a random button behind a curtain, and it’s a bit of an issue that generals under Trump were thinking seriously about disobeying a military order because the considered him to be potentially erratic around the use of nuclear weapons.

We’ve merely had generals trying to insert themselves into the chain of command in order to prevent Trump from launching nuclear missiles for no reason.

I figure it’s the spray-tan which doesn’t go on right next to the eyes.

4.2 is tiny; other platforms are getting hundreds of thousands per day.

It’s small enough that the Mastodon use stats show it as noise.

I’ve seen the follow-around thing a couple times. Rare because we’re small. Become big, and it becomes a bigger problem

People can follow from a Mastodon instance and drop troll comments on all your posts

What it has going for it is a nuclear block; when you block somebody, their trollish response no longer shows up in the feed of your followers, and your post no longer shows up in feed of their followers. This basically kills trolling as as sport.

The fact that on Mastodon & Lemmy “block” means “I can’t see their posts, but they can still summon followers to harass” makes them much less attractive as a platform.

Yes — also non-native speakers of a language tend to follow similar word choice patterns as LLMs, which creates a whole set of false positives on detection.

“filter out” is an arms race, and watermarking has very real limitations when it comes to textual content.

It doesn’t take people on the internet saying it though; just an association with people saying something and the name, which happens to people who write news articles about something.

The bots are not reliable summarizes like that. They often can’t tell the difference between the author and the subject of a piece of writing.
