Agreed about the data farming, but I would recommend reading this if you haven’t already. Not properly implementing the conventions is basically step 1 in that article.

But the dashboard looks like this
When they’ve reached end of life for the car, they are still useful.
EVs require high energy density so they get replaced when they don’t store enough energy for their weight. However for grid storage, weight doesn’t really matter (at least not as much) so a battery with 80% of its original capacity is a good (and cheap) solution.
When the market is mature, it will good for car owners who need to replace their batteries because the old one still has value.
This is a massive waste and is effectively a subsidy for the fossil fuel industry. There are already existing laws for battery and electronics manufacturers to be responsible for their waste. Why isn’t the fossil fuel industry responsible for paying to clean up its waste (CO2)?
The technology sucks too (no pun intended), even carbon capture at source isn’t that efficient when the concentrations are high. Trying to capture CO2 from air where is around 400 parts per million (0.04%) is a complete waste of time and money.
For those interested, these guys have done the math. Using Exxon’s target for future cost of this technology ($100/tonne which is already 1/10th of todays costs, $1000/tonne), it will cost $3.6 trillion a year to absorb how much CO2 we produce. More if we want CO2 levels to come down.
The only effective way to combat CO2 is to stop digging up fossil fuels.
I mean the idea for WEI is to combat bots and AI so it isn’t really surprising AI is going to be against it.
But seriously, Bard is just consolidating what it finds on the internet (it’s not intelligent), so all this really says is that there are plenty of web articles against AI in its search database.
I remember international flights that had several outside cameras, one looking slightly down and forward was the best by far, although most of the flight it was just clouds and during landing that one turned to face forward so you couldn’t see the runway. Haven’t seen them recently though.
91% on Chrome mobile behind PiHole. Fairly good for a minimum effort whole network solution.
Nobody’s mentioned it, but the main thing for me is that the screen aspect ratio isn’t any good.
I’ve always preferred bigger screens and bigger phones and willing to pay a bit extra for a foldable screen now they’ve been on the market for a while. I doubt they’ll last as long as a normal phone screen, but they generally review well and I get they impression they are more durable than most people expect.
But… the main benefit of a big screen (for me) is for watching videos. If it’s not 16:9 (or close to it) then what’s the point? I don’t need to multitask on my phone, I’ll switch to a laptop for that - I’ve had phones that do split screen for years and it was a cool gimmick for a while, but I’ve never really made good use of it.
If anyone can tell me of a phone with a big screen and 16:9 aspect ratio then I’d be willing to reconsider…
My car is off the road at the moment so I’ve been looking into public transport alternatives. For reference, driving to work is 10 miles, takes 25 minutes and costs about £2 in fuel each way. I pay around £1.20 for parking at work.
To go by bus, it would be 3 buses, take 2 hours and cost £4 each way (there are a few different options but they all work out the same). The train could replace one of these bus journeys and reduce the time to just over 1 hour but would cost £10 for a day return.
Both of these are only available once an hour so depending on what time I need to be at work, I might need to leave up to an hour earlier for my commute and it would still cost me twice as much as driving.
I’d be willing to pay a little more because I could work/read on public transport, plus getting rid of the car would save maintenance, tax and insurance costs, but double for the bus (or triple for the train) is excessive.
However, the major issue for me is the time - I already spend the best part of 1 hour commuting and this going up to 5 hours is not workable.
Alternatively, I could move close to my workplace, however house prices in the city are at least double what they are here and rent would be 40% of my salary after tax.
The issue stems from everything public transport being in a star network, I have to get a bus to the nearest town, bus/train to the city of my workplace and then bus to the workplace. Even though I live in the next town over on the side closest to my work. My workplace is also on this side of the city.
How does that work out in terms of energy consumption though?
If NVMe is at least 10x faster, but consumes 5x more power, it will use less energy to read or write the same amount of data overall.
