  • Honestly sounds like you might be a bit on the spectrum, maybe mixed with some anxiety.

    But none of us here are going to be able to give a professional diagnosis, just reccomend exploring that avenue.

    My best advice would be explore things as much as you can safely, but honestly dont worry about doing it and doing it wrong. Absolute worst case you look like a fool for 30 seconds in front if some strangers, but gain knowledge you can use for years (even about something as simple as ordering food).

    Wearing headphones, especially noise cancelling can also help cut out a lot of the, well, noise in the environment and discourage others from focusing on you (by looking busy), so make things like exploring a new library easier to approach as well.

    All anecdotal though, so take it all with a grain of salt and recognise if any of this feels like its not working for you - dont force it! You’ll figure out what works best for you in time.







  • Like the “hasnt left the lab in 75 years” thorium reactors (Which current designs still need enriched uranium)? and the recycle reactors that produce weapons grade plutonium (Of course, also via enriched uranium)? Id love to see you

    No I dont mean those, I mean the CANDU’s, a viable system that has been operating for around the same amount of time thorium has been in development hell (again, 75 years).

    Are you trying to say america has never had a nuclear disaster on record? Cause its pretty easy to google that US has had more nuclear accidents in the 2000’s than canada has in the past century. The Three Mile Island meltdown was probably the worst nuclear accident in north america, its hardly reasonable to ignore it. Unless you count uranium mining accidents, cause then the Church Rock uranium mill takes the crown.

    And which country has ~2000 nuclear reactors? I must have missed this in my research, with those numbers they account for approximately 4x the total number of reactors in the world, a surprising oversight. (Or are you doing some football math that 94/19 = 100x? Cause even if 94/19=5x then per capita america is still lacking)




  • I mean its more like self driving cars than cars themselves; it can work, but also steering wheels were created by the devs for a reason - even if most are too lazy to understand that reason.

    Like I’d agree hand coding in assembly is (mostly) useless these days, but honestly I feel like the efficiency problems ai is trying to solve were largely solved 50 years ago with compilers.

    (and like isnt digesting large outputs the entire point of being an engineering level dev? like if youre just there to pray to the software gods, you’d do much better as a CRUD script kiddie anyways)




  • That and an actively hostile hardware environment to open source dev in the aarch world.

    OS’ on x86 are also a nerdy niche, yet Linux numbers are growing by the day, even seeing large vendors moving to first part support. None of this is allowed to exist in the mobile market exclusively for the profit margins of a few companies.

    Side note imagine how cool it would be in a world without that enshitification, old phones could be recycled for 90% of pi projects, with better specs than the most expensive pi.






  • I largely agree, but I could see having a prebuild iso/img including uboot for most common boards being a lot more user friendly than doing it by hand.

    That and a binary cache could make things take a couple mins for a download vs a couple days to compile the kernel + all packages for any user with lower end hardware.

    Kinda like what armbian provides for the arm space, but with a lot harder initial curve by hand rolling their own distro.
