I like #fission #boiler #steam #power but if you start putting blocks of #solar panels down and connecting them to substations you can do it in many places and in sequence, and each 1000 kW you do is another 300 kWh per day. Add a #battery here and there, and you spread that through the whole day.

Fission takes a #decade, or perhaps 5 years (or 30) before a turbine spins a generator, and yes, all day and a GW but power next #winter is highly valuable.

And #wind, onshore...

US tech to turn nuclear waste into power, cut radioactive life by 99.7%

Researchers aim to transmute long-lived nuclear waste into shorter-lived materials while generating additional carbon-free electricity for the US power grid.

Happy birthday to #physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968) who explained #nuclear #fission. She worked with chemists Hahn & Straßmann in 30s Berlin, investigating whether there were any stable elements beyond uranium. They discovered bombarding nucleus of U-235 with neutrons actually triggered it to fission, or break, into 2 nuclei of roughly half the size & some free neutrons! 🧵1/5

#KnowledgeBit: Lise Meitner, called the "German #MarieCurie" by Albert Einstein, was a brilliant Austrian-Swedish physicist who made significant contributions to the field of nuclear physics.

She is most famous for her work on #Nuclear #Fission, a discovery for which her colleague Otto Hahn received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1944.

@rogueamoeba.com #Fission: Is is possible to change the new color scheme? The low contrast is not eye-friendly.
Nuclear startup Deep Fission goes public in a curious SPAC | TechCrunch

Deep Fission had been seeking to raise $15 million in a seed round as recently as April. The reverse merger will raise twice that amount.

Erosion is one approach, do we know how trickling away Vs newly joining moves size?

Recruiting is a sub-class of that - make an instance designed for 10 000 mastodon.social users, tell them in waves, see them move.

Fission is a more obvious approach, where at some size the members of big instance.maybe suddenly find they are either members of biginstance1.maybe or biginstance2.maybe

You'll have to do something mildly clever with the admins of course.
