- Comment on Wireless EV charging hits 90% efficiency in Swiss real-world trials 6 days ago:
Of course it’ll be awhile before anything like that, this is just one engineering problem solved. But self driving within a confined space like a parking lot (especially a parking lot that doesn’t normally allow humans) is a lot easier to solve than the general case. I think you’d see adoption happen first with fleets of cars or buses, before it would become common place for just regular stuff.
Physical connections are really rough, they require millimeter precision, Tesla has been trying to do this for ages
- Comment on Wireless EV charging hits 90% efficiency in Swiss real-world trials 6 days ago:
Not having a cable unlocks some interesting potential. Right now an inconvenience of driving an EV is that the chargers may be full and inconsiderate people may leave their car plugged in for longer than needed. Take away the need to plug in and add some self driving and you could have your car automatically charge then move itself to a regular spot once it’s done. Could make a setup like this a lot more simple.

Yeah that’s a deal breaker for me too. But the flexible and non-full time hours could make it an attractive side hustle or student job. Good luck getting anyone senor though.

Nah someone could potentially pick up the book and
readsteal it. The proper way to respectfully buy a book is to burn the book itself and stick the empty sleeve on display to give the publisher the ad they deserve. - Comment on 🔥🔥🔥 3 weeks ago:
Yeah if a women blew clinton people wouldn’t mene about it at all, it would barely even be a news story.

I strongly disagree, I don’t think act 2’s reveal would hit nearly as hard without all the build up. ::: spoiler full game spoilers Act 1 is how the player is allowed to empathize with maelle, letting you love the gestrals and npcs is what makes the final choice of the game interesting and gives the whole 3rd act stakes. :::

My oven already heats up in 2minutes? What is the problem with trays?
- Comment on Tabletop convection oven 1 month ago:
Otoh tho 2 uses of the airfyer is almost certainly worse than a bigger single session with an oven. Personally I find meal prepping to be important way of saving time and energy alike.
also in winter both waste no energy since whatever energy is not used for cooking ends up warming your house.
I dint want to yuck anyone’s yum, but I dont have a lot of use for a tool that only has a benefit half the year when doing small batches.

I despise how sprite changed to clear bottles claiming environmental reasons, when that reason was that they wanted to be less indentifiable in trash heaps and microplastic samples.

I got this bad boy when we needed a new sink anyway. It’s definitely overpriced, I could probably diy a system for way less, but i use this every day and it is awesome having sparkling on tap.

- Comment on US will complete TikTok deal ‘in coming days’ and control its algorithm, White House says 2 months ago:
I think it’s even more ominous. From whta I’ve read the american version of tiktok will be entirely cut off from the international version. This means even people circumventing the algorithm will not have access to non-american opinions and will not be able to either cry for help or get outside (less biased) perspective. From a selfish non-american perspective I think it’s really good that the rest of the world will be isolated from the source of facism, but it sure does suck for americans and it also gives china what they wanted in the end. Trump did build a wall, a great firewall.
- Comment on I Was Scammed Out of $130,000 — And Google Helped It Happen 2 months ago:
I dislike Google as much as the next guy and I agree that you really shouldn’t use Google authenticator cloud sync, but the real problem here is the large amount of crypto. A scammer would have a much much harder time extracting it from a bank and even if they did it would likely still be reversible.
- Comment on A month remains. 2 months ago:
That turned out to be because of some prerelease ssds with nonfinalized firmware that shouldn’t have been in the wild.
techspot.com/…/109370-windows-11-cleared-all-char…
The group speculated (and Phison later confirmed) that this early firmware was the real cause of the instability. Unlike the finalized firmware shipping on retail drives, the engineering preview caused crashes under stress. To prove the point, Phison ran the same stress tests (100GB to 1TB sustained writes) on consumer-available SSD models and reported no failures or crashes.

This energy would then be transmitted to one or more stations on Earth.
They spent exactly one sentence addressing the biggest hurdle to doing this.They also don’t link to the paper. Then they have this quote
Although the feasibility of this technology is still under review,
Which kinda makes me think this paper is bullshit.

Video games got this figured out, most difficulty screens say something like “Choose your difficulty (you can change the difficulty at any time in Settings)”
You could also add a checkbox that says “remind me later” or “never show this message again”

There’s a few places that use the water runoff from a nuclear power plant to provide hot water or heating to surrounding homes. Apparently they only have a lose about 3% of the heat and can supply a 100km area.

x!^(n) is the product of the positive numbers congruent to x (mod n) and less than or equal to x. put more simply x*(x-n)*(x-2n)…
so 10!!! = 10*7*4*1
