It's a shipping container, same type of footprint and install as the tesla battery packs. They have pictures and videos if you google it.

The keyword in Small Modular Reactor is Modular. 5mw is not "too small for actual usage." You can connect many of them together in one plant to produce however much power you want. Just like wind turbines, a typical design include

There is no "correct" name. You only see things from your standpoint, and so does everyone else. There is nothing about your opinion that is any less arbitrary than all the opinions that disagree with you.

Mycroft was the first thing I thought of when I read the first press releases from OpenAI about Whisper! Mycroft has historically used Google for voice recognition. Exciting to see self-hosted alternatives like Whisper coming out.

Fallout, and the particles captured in the belts are essentially the same thing from different sources. Yea it's not "blowing up" the field, it's dispersing the captured particles. The earth's magnetic field is not

Those aren't the same parts of speech though. The subject-object relationship is different.

These are all just terms for slightly different perspectives on the same thing. Like diff is the summary of changes in a commit. the person who wants to affect the change submits a pull request. Another person reviews the pull request and d

You can write C++ code in C, it will still compile the same way. Anything that is "written in C++" can also simply be written in C. One of the most interesting cases I've seen is artists that work with addressable LEDs writin

I think the objection is about a functionalist perspective. Is it more accurate to call TSMC a chip manufacturer, or an Apple chip manufacturer? If I happen to be the person who buy's the most Starbucks at my local cafe, does that make

Cars are made by robots. Marginal labor cost is not a thing for car manufacturing.

Solar panels don't need direct sunlight to produce power.

by cjtrowbridge 4y ago
You don't seem to understand the argument. Your car is covered in body panels; those panels could be producing the power to recharge the car. It doesn't matter what the car looks like; any car could work this way.

Recouping daily commutes with solar is trivial.

by cjtrowbridge 4y ago
As someone who worked at America's only electric vehicle charging manufacturer, the average commute is about 30 miles. With EVs like the Bolt getting 3.9mi/kwh, that comes to 7.6kwh/day. At an average daily solar production o

Of course not. Crypto is a vehicle for tech founders to do all the unethical things that are banned in traditional finance without technically breaking the law.

The belts are filled with captured charged particles which deflect cosmic rays and protect the earth from them. If you blow them away, those rays will get through. One of the Project Orion proposals outlined in the linked wiki is about how

Read the wiki. This idea has already been explored and rejected.

This has always seemed like the most stupid-obvious idea to me. It's amazing to see some recent examples getting closer to production! There are also mod kits available for some EVs which allow you to attach solar body panels that char

There are a lot of reasons why this is a bad idea, not least of which is the effects of the resulting electromagnetic pulses on satellites, the earth, and the equipment on board the vehicle itself. There is also the radioactive fallout that

The answer is nonprofit Community Development Corporations. They get lots of special funding sources which allow them to buy or develop housing and rent it out affordably. I recently finished a degree focused on this model at SFSU. There ar

I know this is an MVP but it seems unclear what meaningful structural improvements you're making over more feature-rich alternatives like Tox?

Why does it have a 3.5mm charger jack, but only one USB-C port which can also be used for charging? Like Just put two USB-C ports and no 3.5mm port.
