Journal Journal: My Journal Is Almost Old Enough to Drink

Journal by karniv0re

There is something odd about this journal. And that is, who the fuck reads this? I don't write it for anybody but myself to read, years down the line. And I have become an increasingly reclusive, privacy-seeking individual. So why not just make this private, or write it in a Google Doc? I guess because something gets lost in the story telling if I don't at least pretend I'm writing it for a broader audience. So I guess, read this. Comment. Like and subscribe. I don't care, I don't read your c

Government is after these companies for encryption, which the companies claim it is about privacy. But this really should be about security. By using these services, you are nearly guaranteed that end user is who they say. What is needed is for governments to hand out a packet of vetted digital certificates and then use these in various services/applications.

China is pushing massive amounts of effort on AI for industry and military. Doing this should not be an issue. However, these ppl are likely to be a detriment to this. So best thing would be to do a NASA/USAF kind of thing. Split the group into 2 with those that fighting military involvement and put them in a group devoted to industry, pure development while other group continues to do pure development but in all areas including military. For this 2nd group, put in ppl with security clearance.

Journal Journal: Operation: Hades' Veil

Journal by karniv0re

It's taken me some time to adjust to the new digs, but I'm starting to get a feel for things. And that means I'm getting a little more serious about the change I want to bring to the org. Historically, when I get serious about something, I give it an operational name. This puts me in a tactical mindset. So now that we're over halfway through the year and bonus time will be coming up before we know it, I need to have something to show for myself.

It used to be that we had intelligent ppl and postings on /.
Nuclear power plants do NOT have hires in their cooling towers, ESP. BLACK ONES. Only idiots bought off on this.
They burned a bunch of tires in the cooling towers to play to the anti-nuclear idiots that run around in the west, so that do not pay attention to things like Ukraine taking a chunk of Russia.

reagan and W focused on spending large amounts of $ on DoD fast and wastefully. These are NOT the ones to emulate.
We should be looking at IKE and JFK. Both of these men spent money with a dual use to them. It is insane that we waste money on buying shells (both ammo and missiles) when instead, we should spend the $ on automating the lines and getting the costs of shells very low and fast to make.
Likewise, when doing that, it should be required that the automation equipment work on regular ammo and other manufacturing goods.

Add the costs of Wind OR PV to a new fossil plant that is then ran at 2/3 to 3/4 of the time, AND subtract the massive subsidies for wind/PV as well as FF.
Then compare that to the cost of a nuclear SMR while subtracting the paltry subsidies that America uses on nuclear.
You will find that Nuclear is a great deal cheaper. Nuclear SMR is even cheaper.
