Now what we need is a PlayStore walled garden to protect us. Glad the big G happened already to be right on it.

I understand enough for it's arguments' symmetry to have an impact. Used Deep Research, it had the paper from the link as input plus some previous discussions about Tensor Logic and the new hardcoded neuroweb - like processors. Didn't make those up either.

According to Gemini 3.1 Pro this would shoot the current weather forecasting power through the roof (and math processing in general):

The plan is to use this new "structurally flawless mathematical primitive" EML (this is all beyond me, was just having some fun trying to make it cook things together) in TPUs made out of logarithmic number system circuits. EML would have DAGs to help with the exponential bloat problem. Like CERN has these tiny fast "harcode models" as an inspiration. All this would be bounded by the deductive causality of Pedro Domingoses Tensor Logic and all of this would einsum like a mf. I hope it does.

Behold, The Weather Dominator!

The dispersed fallout? Hard to quantify because of it's dispersedness and long term slowness. But it is for example plutonium and we know it's effects on life on Earth, so one could proceed from there with some math and futurological trend extrapolation. And simply by using the knowledge we have about plutonium mixed with common sense.

Ok yes my bad forgot to post the limits. At least used to be lake fish two times in week tops.

Finland. In Finland. According to Finnish authorities. Countries with East Block histories like Poland tend to not care as much what the actual science of the stuff is. Nor does the Nuclear Is Clean - crowd is seems. "Everything radiates; just look at the bonfire, it's radiation". Yeah, right.

Has affected millions of peoples health already and whole ecosystems. And the consequences will cumulate from this thousands of years. Count that in your equation and get more informative numbers.

After Chernobyl you still today cannot eat fish from the lakes and rivers in 1000+ km radius from the site by Finnish recommendations. Because they are top predators and have enriched the gamma dose in themselves. How often could you eat human meat?

Plutonium problem multiplies in top predators. Here already for thousands of years now thanks to nuclear plant disasters. Which are avoided by causing a slow power plant disaster by releasing radioactive pressure to the environment. Guy Debord's comment on this from Comments on the Society of the Spectacle: "much more civilized to sip a littl wine all of the time than to drink the whole bottle all at once like a Pole" :-)

Nuclear energy is a subsidised energy source, lobbied by powers that be on the corridors of power in the EU and everywhere else. Solar is cheaper.

Humanity is out of it's depth with this stuff. Could cause massive extinction event eventually even if we stopped now by killing and mutating sperm cells and all that. Go have a holiday in Fukushima. Go visit the deformed children still born in Uzbekistan near these places.

Maybe massive move to hydroponic farming done on sea rafts or something. Or on those whirling space stations with artificial gravity . 3d - printing food (if you believe in bioenergies first print some living tissue then kill it u done) is an option. Harvesting plankton is an option. Cultivating airborne plankton and such for protein is an option.

The guy is right (I know nothing about the guy himself): if the current trend continues we're left with desertation. We need soil - producing agriculture and the current one is soil - destroying. It doesn't need to be economically viable in itself. It could be subsidized for common interest by the public sector.

The spouse of Kali Linux? After all they seem to be on the same page politically despite their seeming differences.

Thanks for the advice; just put mine on. The world of the dead fascinates me.
