My company looked at them, and we were very impressed with the product. The only issue was that they are built for general compute and we really needed the option for faster processors.

I'll check it out, not sure I'll use it much but I do like to stay in the terminal. The TUI looks good, bubbletea seems like such a neat library.

I love the typescript definitions! I do have to say the way that pasting anything into the URL bar deletes the existing URL is super painful! I just wanted to change the variable case :(

The fact that you also have typescript defs for the URL parameters is a nice touch though.

The Natrium data sheet[1] says that it is "Molten salt energy storage", so based on the diagram[2] it appears that salt (not sodium) is being pumped to to the reactor and stored in large tanks, similar to thermal mass solar installations. I assume the sodium is internal to the reactor only, but can't say for sure.

I'm pretty sure you can actually configure the windows firewall the same way, but you would have to it up front, instead of having it prompt you.

Set-WindowsSearchSetting -EnableWebResultsSetting $false -SearchExperienceSetting NotPersonalized

Strict export control restrictions mean we have actually been unable to use ANY cloud provider so far.

If you did run it in "our" cloud account you would still be on the hook for very expensive audits and background checks for everyone involved.

It not even close to worth it :/
