I mean maybe, it’s just a back of napkin calculation i didnt spend more than a 5s search, think of it as a lower bound I guess. I don’t think my conclusion really changes if it’s 40% vs 20%, point is that it’s more than enough to power peak usage. I tried digging a bit more but couldn’t find anything that contradicted or confirmed it. Here in Canada 1MWh per month is typical for an electrified house (ie electric heating, cooling and stovetop), but our houses are big, our electricity generally cheap and our climate different.

Wikipedia lists avg consumption per capita for China as 5MWh/person/yr, half that of the US, Canada and Australia but that doesn’t take into account household size which imagine is higher in china. Also worth noting China has been adopting evs relatively quick and they generally take a huge amount of power.

I got it from here

So an average Chinese home takes ~1MWh/mo of electricity, they have 100Mwh and they say 300 discharges a year and support 12000 people. So they expect this to cover about a fifth of the energy usage, which seems pretty great.

IIRC the canon reason they are above the clouds is because of smog.

It’s not common but the pixel 8 has an infrared sensor in the camera that they advertise as being able to measure the temperature of stuff. Apparently it’s fda approved to measure body temperature.

I think it’s more likely that ppl will simply become the more expected way to spell it. When was the last time you saw someone write out etcetera, and ASAP is common in all but the most formal of settings.

it is practically essential for space travel/colonization in the long term.

Seems like it’s pretty important we not burn through our finite reserves of it if we can help it. I’m not saying we should reach zero nuclear, but I don’t think we should be relying on it too much either.

That’s a lot of work on twitches side to keep it hushed which makes this weirder.

I don’t think that’s weird, twitch really doesn’t want the pr of being wrong or having a pedo on their platform, its a lose-lose and I would expect them to try and cover it up regardless.

so why not rm -rf folder/.git/* then rm -r folder/*

You wouldn’t neccesarily need to pay attention to the master and all, probably easier to request the video twice from youtube, detect the bits that don’t change, skip timestamps around to only play those bits. Might have a bit of a failure rate if the same ad is served twice, and youtube could fight back by letting creators make slightly different video versions but still better than nothing.

While dramatic, a single engine failing on a commercial flight is not really all that big of a deal, there is a reason they are built with a large amount of redundancy.

According to this the failure rate for the whole industry is about 1 every 375000 flight hours.

This is very back the napkin math, but there are roughly 100k commercial airline pilots in the usa alone, and about 3 pilots per plane. So if they are doing more than 9hours of flight each you’d except one of them to experience an engine failure.

I’m not saying Boeing doesn’t have some problems, the 737max should put some key decision makers in Jail, but these sorts of articles are just feeding into confirmation bias.

Nothing with a recent AMD gfx Card or APU will officially support S3, and I think Nvidia is the same. Just because it isn’t supported doesn’t mean they’ll intentionally break anything, but over time you’ll have more and more bugs related to it and one day it will break and never be fixed.

Personally I use S4 (hibernate) more or less exclusively.

I know people hate Linus tech tips and everything, but they have a great guide on how best to save wet hardware https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNm2g4Tkf3E , skip to 30s if you don’t like their comedy

If this application is legit it’s going to get snatched up by Apple/Amazon/Google to make their voice assistants better, right now they can’t handle cross talk at all.

I think this is the only time excel hasn’t decided something was a date.

Fair enough I thought I was taking crazy pills for a bit there!

I’ll admit I don’t know much about apple products, but I can’t find any reference to a camera on any apple watch. It’s not mentioned on the spec page or in any reviews I can find. It would also make features like remote camera kind of redundant.

Could you show an example of one of these smart watches? I use a garmin vivoactive and it most definitely does not have a camera, and is their premium line. It’s 5 years old now, but the new models don’t have it either.

Most smart watches don’t have cameras so Machine vision-y things.

Obviously the pin is way off from where it would need to be for that to be useful though

I think steam deck is a pretty good choice from that perspective.

1. There is little vendor lock in, you could upgrade from a deck to a competitor and so long as it uses steam you won’t really be missing out on anything

2. Valve has gone in pretty hard on repairability. so while it may become obsolete (and I don’t think it will for a while, Moores law isn’t what it used to be) it should still be able to run very far down the line.

3. The steam controller and ecosystem planned around it was a financial failure. While there were a hunch of enthusiasts into the steam controller (myself included) it never gained mainstream appeal. The steam machine that it was meant to synergize with did even worse. Otoh the valve index did pretty well and still is quite a popular pick if you wanna get into vr today despite being 5 yrs old, while vr wasnt as successful as i think some wanted (I blame meta for that!) It did carve out a niche for valve that helos there long term plans. The steam deck has been a run away success and also brings a big boost to a lot of valves long term strategies (decoupling from windows, competing with consoles, giving people a reason to stay on steam), and its already seen a refresh. I would be very surprised to not see a steamdeck 2, although it may be a while (valve has stated as much, because they want to make it easy for devs to target steam deck for recommended specs)
