High voltage DC is effective above ground, too. At high enough voltage, it's actually cost effective and has fewer electrical losses than the AC equivalent. China has been doing some cool investments on high voltage DC in the past 15 y

It's vastly more expensive to put cables underground, and high voltage cables underground is in the realm of Bad Ideas because you're putting a high voltage physically near the electrical ground (the earth's crust), which add

So much THIS. And people wonder why their kids go bonkers after using screens on smart devices. Imagine how much faster they get disoriented because they have zero experience dealing with user interfaces, and get presented with this glowing

Say more? Is trifluoroacetic acid useful for other things? Also does it come out as liquid or gas in these reactions? I don't know much about organic chemistry but this approach seems like it produces byproducts of "value", a

Third line of the summary: > Gases found are the same as those produced by algae on Earth AIUI, the sensors used for this discover don't look for just _one_ gas, but as many as possible. So Oxygen is probably included in that list.

Why? I am not the biggest fan of needing a whole VM to run CLI tools either, but it's a low-enough friction experience that I don't particularly care as long as the runtime environment is self-contained.

I wish I wish I wish Google put better marketing into these releases. I've moved entire workflows to Gemini because it's just _way_ better than what openai has to offer, especially for the money. Also, I think google's winnin

Yeah seems like you'd want to either copy, poach, or acquire the talent at Oishii, no? They look like they know what they are doing, although it's not consumer cheap yet, and the economics might never be.

Did you read lesson one? TL;DR They want to squeeze every drop of performance out of the CPU when processing media, and maintaining a mixture of intrinsics code and assembly is not worth the trade off when doing 100% assembly offers better

There is a lot of R&D predating mass cheap solar where proposals do things like have it captured at the production site or arbitrage cheap off peak energy to store it since the grid capacity is there anyway. Modern solar definitely make

Engineering/inventing ways to emit less CO2 is fixing the root cause of the problem. Spending energy that likely came from fossil fuel burning to "capture" CO2 is like saying you've found a perpetual motion machine. The
