fullsquare@awful.systemsto News@lemmy.world•US confirms no casualties from Iran’s attack on base in Qatar47·3 days agothey were still a party to NPT the entire time, and they didn’t meet obligations of that treaty for over 20 years. NPT also includes inspections by IAEA
say what you want, they can’t unbomb Fordow so any discussions about future iranian nuclear program are pointless
fullsquare@awful.systemsto News@lemmy.world•US confirms no casualties from Iran’s attack on base in Qatar413·3 days agoah yes, the completely civilian nuclear program that for last month+ was busy using up 5% enriched uranium (on upper range of enrichment in normal reactors) and 20% (usual in research reactors) to get 60% enriched uranium (no civilian applications)
fullsquare@awful.systemsto News@lemmy.world•US confirms no casualties from Iran’s attack on base in Qatar26·3 days agoneither. the same kind of propaganda activity targeted at iranian internal audience like after assassination of qasem soleimani. like in 2020, it’s pretty obvious that trump takes this offramp
but also, this time international response is wildly different
in 2020: UK and Qatar called for deescalation, Saudis said they stand with Iraq, Turkey offered diplomatic support for deescalation
today, Saudis, UAE, Qatar (obviously), Bahrain, Kuwait, (countries directly impacted) but also Oman, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, Lebanon, Turkey, Yemen (Aden) and Palestinian Authority all condemned Iranian strikes
today also iranian proxies are much weaker, and we already know how incompetent their air defences were

fullsquare@awful.systemsto Technology@beehaw.org•Another Dumb Electrical Code Change Could Ban DIY EV Charger Installs44·6 days agoif it’s permanently installed high power device, it only makes sense to wire it directly, like it’s done with ovens, and EV charger draws even more power. why there’s even plug on the way there? it’s not gonna be moved anyway. and while we’re at, why you people don’t have three phase circuits for big loads like this? standard euro five wire three phase 32A circuit (or plug) gets you 22kW, that plug tops off at 9kW
80000 hours are the same cultists from lesswrong/EA that believe singularity any time now and they’re also the core of people trying to build their imagined machine god in openai and anthropic
it’s all very much expected. verbose nonsense is their speciality and they did that way before time when chatbots were a thing

fullsquare@awful.systemsto World News@lemmy.world•G7 leaders: ‘Iran can never have a nuclear weapon’English121·10 days agoit also helps if your air defense network doesn’t collapse immediately because it turns out that in order to guard these nukes you need also regular capable conventional military
fullsquare@awful.systemsto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Cluster submunitions from one of the Russian Kh-101 missiles that attacked Kyiv today.14·10 days agoNeither Ukraine or Russia are on that list, and a couple of countries that do have a possible defensive war against Russia in mind withdrew from that treaty. That and Ottawa treaty (banning AP victim-triggered landmines)
