ByteJunk@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Arizona resident dies from plague, health officials say6·22 hours agoThat’s really hard, which is why they went with preventing people from being able to access healthcare.
Yes, that’s the second arc.
In the first accident there were no half-spheres, the neutrons were being reflected back using bars of tungsten carbide placed around the exposed core.
Wiki photo from a recreation of the first incident:
In the second accident, a year later, the reflective material was the two beryllium half-spheres. Shims were used to ensure the two halves were never fully closed, which would trigger the nuclear chain reaction.
Supposedly, this guy liked to show off and had done this demonstration a dozen times in front of different audiences, wearing jeans and cowboy boots and using his screwdriver instead of the shims.
Some report that Fermi told the guy and others that “they would be dead in a year” if they kept doing that… and voila.
The good thing is that he at least was hunched over the core, so he mostly shielded everyone else in the room from the worst of the radiation by absorbing it himself. 9 days later, he was dead. The guy closest to him was in the hospital for several weeks with severe radiation poisoning, but at least survived but died fairly young, in his 50s, which may or may not have been related…

Here’s my 15 second, god awful taco:
That was hilarious. Also kinda spooky to think that, if Japan hadn’t surrendered, Demon Core-kun would have been the 3rd nuke dropped over them.
The cartoon only covers the second story arc though, the one with the screwdriver.
In the first arc, the core is “nude” and they’re stacking neutron-reflecting bricks around it to bring it close to criticality. A scientist drops a brick by accident on top of the core and boom, blue light and you’re dead (takes 2 weeks for your body to notice though).

Memcpy from a file to a screen buffer is as much a UI as pouring water in a pot is a soup.
I never understood the fixation on IPs. For a kick ass universe with amazing lore etc, ok sure.
I mean I love Jeb and the gang as much as the next guy, but they’re not core to my enjoyment of KSP1. The mechanics were.
ByteJunk@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani leads general election poll for NYC mayor6·4 days agoAh I missed that, sorry. But that’s hilarious, I can imagine the Republican-level mental gymnastics that many democrats are now required to pull off so they can still support Cuomo.
You’d get bored.
Some assumptions:
- A tablespoon holds 15 milliliters (= 15 cm^3 = 15 × 10^-6 m^3)
- The density of the sun is 1.41 g/cm^3 = 1410 kg/m^3
- A spoonful of sun is 1410 * 15 * 10^-6 = 0.02115 Kg
- The mass of the sun is 1.989 × 10^30 kg
1.989 × 10^30 kg / 0.02115 Kg = 9.4×10^31
It’ll take me around 94,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 scoops.
ByteJunk@lemmy.worldto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Terms for our Times (artist: Jen Sorensen)3·4 days agoI think you’re right and that is how the word is most often used, but at least merriam-webster gives a broader definition, as the “practices or pretensions of a quack”, which it then says is the same as a charlatan, so I guess it would be acceptable. I’m not a native speaker, however… :)
That’s because it’s lifted from an actual security flyer, edited for funnies.
The original is probably this:
- Consumption of alcoholic beverages will help target selection in target-deprived environments.

ByteJunk@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani leads general election poll for NYC mayor23·4 days agoBy this point, the world is like that, eagerly watching if the guy can upset such a corrupt, biased system.
So he will definitely be the democratic nominee, right? And now he’s going against a republican in the general election? When is it?
Everything is edible. Some things, only once.
Fair point, but I’ll raise the counter argument that they were trained with a lot of internet data, where people slapping each other is the norm, and that seems suspiciously absent from AI interactions…
You really took the bit between your teeth blaming the lycan there, didn’t you Mr Fox. The lab guys are pulling teeth to get the results, but we’ll soon know who’s bite marks are on that girl who bit the bullet. You wouldn’t be lying through your teeth now would you? Because I’ll sink my teeth into you and bring you down if it’s the last thing I do…
…said some detective with a hyperfixation.
ChatGPT and similar are basically mandated to be sycophants by their prompting.
Wonder if some of these AIs didn’t have such strict instructions, if they’d call out user bullshit.
Moms have superpowers, obviously.
