Pretty sure that's the tag line for Gemini

Separate accounts for the same site is just about the only use case nowadays since Firefox started implementing isolation per-site.

LLMs are not designed to give you objective factual answers. They're designed to guess what you want to hear, like a middle school student writing a book report for a book they never read.

I'm thinking the best fix here may be to see a psychiatrist, get a diagnosis, and some medication. Then close the tabs.

Thousands of BBC jobs at risk

Horny MILFs everywhere gonna be in shambles, according to my pornhub feed.

What's "the word" and does it make you literally so angry?

Somewhere out there a goblin and a tiefling are about to throw down.

Can we just not do both? Thanks.

Also, alternatives to flying include cars ($$$ + muuuch slower + only slightly less bad) and public transit (requires collective buy-in and can't happen overnight).

Most people can just drop meat on a whim, but I can't just magic a US High-Speed Rail network into existence. I'll continue to support the CA HSR with my vote and my tax dollars, and continue to take my rare vacations to locations within driving distance, but these aren't really equivalent changes.

There is a much more robust set of existing alternatives to meat than there is to flying, at least in the US.

A lot of shaky stuff in here that has a long way to go before it makes it out of the lab.

3.5 cubic meters of material ought to be enough to make quite a comfy house

OP, a 3.5 m-wide cube is not 3.5 cubic meters. That's the size of a decently large shed... Of solid concrete.

would have enough capacity to store about 10 kilowatt-hours of energy, which is considered the average daily electricity usage for a household

No mention in the article about round trip efficiency, self-discharge rates / storage duration, etc.

Storing 10 kWh doesn't mean much if it loses much of that to internal losses, leakage into the environment, etc., before you can use it.

Capacitors generally tend to be designed to store very little energy but can charge/discharge repeatedly at a high rate. Is this designed to discharge quickly? If so, what happens if someone touches the giant Borg cube in your yard?

Concrete is also prone to cracking, which last I checked, is not good for electronics.

That said, this is an interesting concept, and if it can perform at a useful level / scale, I could see industrial uses for large systems with high peak loads / energy recovery / regenerative braking, as a cost effective way to smooth grid loads, but probably wouldn't expect to see it in use at people's homes for a loooong time.

Less "you can make a super capacitor at home", more "innovative material uses may one day make super capacitors more cost effective for certain applications, if it can be scaled out of a lab"

How about we actually wait and see how the game turns out before we crucify everyone?

Why does it matter how the game turns out if the stance is "we don't want to fund shady developers fucking over content creators"?

F-Droid 2.37.2.

But also it's been a feature for like 6 months.

"A sustainable diet leaves room for 2 chicken breasts a week"

(Really, 2 servings of fish / poultry per week. No red meat.)

The average person outside of developing nations vastly outpaces this consumption rate.

The small, single-digit percent of the population that's vegetarian/vegan, as well as people who are experiencing food insecurity and do not have consistent access to meat are ahead of the curve from a sustainability perspective.

When 95+% of people who have the means to dictate their meal choices do not achieve the target reduction it's generally safe to say everyone who eats meat needs to cut back.

In Voyager, tap a username to view someone's profile, then 3-dot menu > edit tag

Oh, really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

Unrelated - tagging in Voyager is really handy!

I recommend everyone give it a try, helps you identify, say, people who might be talking a big contrarian game without providing any of their own peer reviewed sources to back themselves up. Very interesting feature.

restaurant burners can hit 30KW

It’s pretty rare to find that in a residential setting

Apple, meet orange.

But reminder gas appliances are generously only ~50% efficient, so this performance is matched with a 10-15kW induction wok, which is a hefty electrical load, but doable.

Current administration seems to like aligning their priorities with Sauron's notoriously unintelligent underlings.

You can set uBlock to run in incognito tabs, so it'll hold if you let it.

Both sides win in this arrangement.

What about the third party (you the user), and fourth party (everyone whose creativity was fed into the machines, and everyone who has to accept your LLM generated slop like it's useful and/or contributing to the conversation)
