I got a lot of them from very pro-nuclear guys too, but ones who can count

you'd almost think they were literally the same fucking guys

even if you're ardently pro-nuclear, SMRs are just a failure purely on the economics and always have been. And that's before wind/solar/battery made them just obsolete. So SMRs are the perfect tech when you don't want to do anything useful.

fig. 1: how awful.systems works

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 8 points 1 month ago

XML works fine for what it is, it's just a bit verbose. Not sure it'd be my first choice for a new thing, but it's not a toxic waste dump if you're allowed to do it properly.
