apparently ww1 era british soldiers figured out that cordite works like amyl but shittier (more specifically, nitroglycerin part) https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/abaf/009c8713aadd8accbb03b2b40a93b5c3c77a.pdf

Sr-90 that was involved in cases you mention is strong beta emitter, but Pu-238 isn't, it's mostly-alpha emitter, so it'll only get dangerous if somebody ingests it, but it's a piece of ceramic inside a strong case

it's not the type of plutonium that is fissile, 40% of it decayed by now, and it was formed into hard, chemically resistant ceramic in the first place

have you read the article

it's hacky and wrong. or you could use different hardware, maybe from competition, because result isn't worth electricity it used

gpus as used for genai aren't really suitable for normal loads like aerodynamic simulations, genai uses low precision data like fp8, fp4, blackwells and such are optimized for it so hard that you can't really do anything else on this thing

"article" is entirely too charitable, this is a substack post

nah. loam is, for example, 40% sand, 20% clay, 40% silt and it's close to middle of that polygon, on top of letter O

for example, draw a line from 50% sand point on edge to 50% clay point on edge, the first one is 50% sand 50% silt because that axis for sand is also 0% for clay, the second one is 50% sand 50% clay because it lies at the line that is 0% silt

at this point just leave your phone at home or get burner for this exact purpose
