    It’s condensed content with simpler terms and plain English, which is helpful for those who aren’t native speakers, like Gamba said.
    Simple wiki also comes in handy in topics like biology, which can have very specialized vocabulary.

    But in this context, the people who unironically believe in things like the moon not being a reflector can’t be reasoned with. They won’t change their mind no matter how simple English you explain the fact.

    Google search results are often completely unrelated so it’s not any better. If the thing I’m looking for is obscure, AI often finds some thread that I can follow, but I always double check that information.
    Know your tool limits, after hundreds of prompts I’ve learned pretty well when the AI is spitting bullshit answers. Real people on the internet can be just as wrong and biased, so it’s best to find multiple independent sources

    thankfully modern ones like molten salt reactors have passive safety, where they stop the reaction if overheating occurs.
    edit: My mistake, there’s no active commercial molten salt reactors.
    But nuclear power is very safe nowadays because of the multiple fail-safes, which some can still be passive like emergency cooling.
    I much rather get electricity from magic rocks than destroying rain forest in developing countries drilling oil, gas or mining coal.
    The biggest risk in nuclear is environmental disasters like in Fukushima’s case, which is the last significant nuclear incident in past 13 years






  • I genuinely thought symlinking these files was standard because how many people I have seen suggesting it. I have had this issue so many times when I needed to that one program updated but there’s no newer libraries in AUR. Surprisingly, I haven’t had issues and I’ve been doing this past 5 years on my personal system. So I guess I consider compiling from source next time.




  • Yes, my parents used to have chickens. It’s unlikely that the incubation period would be 9 months and being oviparous has It’s own challenges. If humans did evolve that route I’d imagine that we’d have overcome most of the issues. Dinosaurs being one example, it’s possible humans would be cold blooded and have learned the joy of regurgitation. It comes down to speculation whether human like intelligence could have evolved with these limitations.
