i think this post may have finally broke my nuclear reactor apologia https://circumstances.run/@hipsterelectron/116576265214764952 you actually can't make them without safety investment, and safety investment is necessarily expensive, which makes the technology inherently expensive. arguing otherwise is essentially to argue against safety regs, which i refuse to do
in the case of nuclear reactors, this actively makes them less desirable than alternatives. sometimes you have to give up the splice() system call because it can't be made safe
