Yeah apparently it is a major part of employees' jobs to know how to present good ideas to this fool in a way that he won't shoot it down because he thinks he knows things.

I would amend that to "What specific problem that users have reported does implementing AI solve".

Most airports have separate controllers for taxiway coordination and for runway and air coordination. Many larger airports separate tasks further, like having a separate approach controller. So, usually different people.

Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding demands to be blasted at full volume

One of the risks is the fuel getting jammed. Since they're spheres, they should have very low friction. But they already saw that defects in the coating can raise that risk. They would need very strict QC on manufacturing the pellets, and the entire system must be designed to mitigate the chance of wear causing damage. There would naturally be a buildup of debris over time, but fine carbon dust usually serves as a lubricant anyway. They would need to prevent contaminants entering the core.

Even if there was a jam, is there a foolproof way to stop the input, even during a power failure? Can the pellets sit in the reactor forever without getting too hot when the cooling is down?

Is any of this human controlled? Part of Chernobyl was someone ignoring a failure and choosing not to shut down until it was too late - is that a possibility here?

So yeah, saying failure is impossible is literally what they said with the Chernobyl-style reactors when they were new. They did safety tests on those to see what would happen if the power failed, which was itself the catalyst for the failure. Just say that you have a new, extremely safe design, be open about how it works, and don't tempt fate?

The Wikipedia page has a decent graphic. Instead of dropping graphite rods between the fuel rods, the fuel is a pellet permanently encased in a tennis ball sized coating of ceramic silicon carbide. The core is a funnel that pellets are continuously fed through, with an inert gas cooling the funnel and transferring the heat to the water for generating electricity.

The main point of the bill is to provide grants to organizations that provide resources for pregnant people. The bill specifically excludes organizations that offer abortion services from receiving those grants.

This is why "divide by half" and "divide in half" are two different things

Any positive number?
