  • When we measure calories in food we are speaking of bioavailable chemical energy. The energy listed for Uranium here is not chemical, it’s the nuclear potential energy released during nuclear fission which is completely different.

    That was probably obvious but ackshyually if we include the nuclear potential energy that could be released from fusion, I would wager the water in that food has enough hydrogen to give the same amount of energy, since hydrogen carries far more nuclear potential energy.













  • It’s not even primitive, just communism. The idea that peoples without civilization are held back or stuck in the past is a problematic worldview as well, and doesn’t hold up well with the archeological evidence either.

    edit: I strongly recommend the Book “The Dawn of Everything” by Graeber and Wengrow, on this very topic

    Well the one thing that kinda wrong about it is the immense energy usage of most LLMs. But you aren’t putting an artist out of a job or anything like that.
