the man who decided to end german nuclear power production getting a seat in gazprom doesn't inspire confidence in reality-based discussion of this subject

they also last decades and are cheap to run with extremely low carbon emissions

most of costs are costs of construction. french and koreans don't seem discouraged and some plants in japan and china were built under budget. finland energy supply has large fraction of nuclear and they have extremely cheap electricity

it's more turbines, not sure if it's the same site or another

Terrorist adoption of AI has thus advanced further and more systematically than prior analysis has recognized

salafi extremists that declared western education sinful are now world-leading AI-first village-burning-as-a-service jihadist startup. okay whatever

It has aided in attack planning, weapons troubleshooting, and the design of explosive devices, as users have successfully circumvented some safeguards.

surely their contacts within ISIS or any number of other islamic militias couldn't have taught them that previously, no they have to rely on movie plot ideas from chatbots. it probably helps that some people heard about them but peak years of their activity were in 2014-20 before ISWAP eaten their support base whole by not raiding villages and trying to replace state instead

also, when trying to make sure that i got this right i've learned that apparently al-qaeda pivoted to app development

it's not even known yet and they say so:

The primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS) assessed by BICR per RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), and safety profile. (...) The OS data were immature.

it was also only for late stage metastatic patients with a very specific mutation. now, since AZ has the rights, and they have money for trials, they can try to get a trial for earlier stages, and so this new better drug might be used for larger patient population while still patented. and that would be money printer

there are drug trials that cost more money than that. also this is not +4 months comparison new drug vs nothing this is new drug vs old drug. if AZ also got their IP then it's a fire sale

here is study: https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO.2026.44.17_suppl.LBA8500

i'm looking at electricitymap rn, sicily is 79% renewable with 65% solar, other regions at least 50% renewable too, on country level 35% solar and 54% renewable (+ 7% nuclear (french)). this not that far away from spain (51% solar 60% renewables + 15% nuclear). it's not bad, you've got a bunch of solar and wind farms. in poland there was for many years very restrictive law on wind farm distances from populated areas, it got better but buildout is not as large as it could have been and so reliance on coal is still there. no such restrictions on solar

your guess about what he actually did is as good as mine. gold salts are toxic and corrosive so it would be pretty obvious early on. small gold particles would occlude capillaries so that would be very obviois too. there is colloidal gold and gold nanoparticles are probably not very toxic. that discoloration could be some infection or irritation from whatever injected thing (not medical advice)
