It's a fairly straightforward physics question, and Gemini Pro thinks the thrust to weight ratio is too low, by more than an order of magnitude, even before adding the weight of the frame and propulsion system.

Sadly, an LLM rejected my idea of building an enormous helicopter drone from wind turbine blades. They can't spin fast enough to generate sufficient lift.

Perhaps one company buying 24/7 CFE won't make much of a difference in Europe, but it would make a difference in places like Singapore, where the existing grid is incapable of providing 24/7 CFE to anyone.

Were they buying time-independent blocks of carbon-free power, or 24/7 carbon-free power? The latter is significantly more difficult.

"In 2024, we increased our 24/7 CFE percentage from 64% to 66%, and nine out of 20 grid regions with Google-owned and -operated data centers achieved at least 80% CFE." Look at those numbers. 100% still is a very ambitious go

The biggest problem with carbon offsets is that they're not pinned to a particular time of day. If you buy a 1 GWh block of wind/solar energy for a month, you're not doing anything to supply clean energy when it's dark a

"24/7 carbon-free energy" is actually a much stronger goal, because (for example) it's physically impossible to buy solar/wind energy on a calm night, so they would need to pay more for an alternative like batteries

PWAs can't use TCP/UDP sockets. There's probably other interesting stuff in WASIX worth supporting.

I think banning developers just for giving users freedom would be bad for PR. Google would have to admit that they are fighting their own users, not fighting malware.

It doesn't need to be on the Play store, as long as they allow sideloading apps from known developers. It would be challenging for Google to argue that the app should be banned entirely, as it's basically a web browser with extra

The community could work around this problem by creating an open source general purpose app runtime for Android. A user would install the runtime, signed by a developer who shared their government ID with Google, and then use the runtime to

The point of HRV is to provide fresh air, not cooling. An air conditioner provides 0 m3/h of fresh air, so 350 m3/h is a substantial upgrade.

That makes about as much sense as "laptops are simply better than computers." They are implementations of the same technology.

It would probably make sense to build an end-to-end encrypted sync library using S3 for storage. Then users can choose which cloud to use, or self-host. https://yjs.dev/ seems like a useful building block.
