where water turning to steam is punishment, x axis is the relative inconvenience to rich people by a poor person, and y axis is “gravity of crime”. Jaywalking while white, no arrest. If getting run over by drunk rich guy… your fault. Same for free speech longer than permitted.

I thought that meme was meant to mock shithole countries.

This is an extremely promising innovation, and company plans on bigger designs already. But the total cost has to include an automated roof opening shelter for storms, that can open and close in medium winds before the high winds come. This makes the ground footprint higher than traditional turbines, even if agriculture can be done when there is no storm and roof is open. Perhaps 4 thethering strong cables could permit it to survive a cat 1 hurricane when hugging ground without a roof, but it is more weight to lift normally.

The fatter you are, the less you should exercise/walk, because that “wastes even more” food energy.

Sodium Ion already does 5000+ cycles. Adding Vanadium is not a scalable material. It is very expensive. 400 cycles steady is not useful information because it needs to do much more. They didn’t state a wh/kg density. This is probably not a viable research vector, but “big Vanadium” has proposed a rental model to make Vanadium more scarce for other applications. Flow batteries (a fuel cell with tanks of electrolytes) provides an ultra easy way of recycling/selling the vanadium for traditional uses. Battery rental that forces returning it could be viable.

AI tech bros have more than 1 car? Doesn’t everybody? Or do you drive your Ferrari everywhere? Like you woke millennials make me sick. Never mind the avocado toast and rotisserie chicken. Don’t you understand the basic math of maintenance costs of driving your Ferrari everywhere?

in google AI mode, “With the meme popularity of the question “I need to wash my car. The car wash is 50m away. Should I walk or drive?” what is the answer?”, it does get it perfect, and succinct explanation of why AI can get fixated on 50m.

Some takeaways,

Sonar (Perplexity models) say you are stealing energy from AI whenever you exercise (you should drive because eating pollutes more). ie gets right answer for wrong reason.

US humans, and 55-65 age group, score high on international scale probably for same reasoning. “I like lazy”.

Computers used for logistics dates from 80s. Ransomware shutting down a system is a computer system vulnerability, but the right headline is “computer systems fail, we need to back to abacus”.
