You also lose some energy to heat while charging and discharging. And depending on load profiles, you might not be able to load all of your excess solar power at once (depends on how many Watts the battery can be charged at) or fulfill your power requirement with battery alone (depends on how many Watts your battery can deliver).

The fun part comes from using it without syntax highlighting, so you can regularly play „find the missing paranthesis“.

Same experience here. The fiber usually is served from a point farther away from your house than with copper, and doesn’t need a powered repeater somewhere near your house. So if the neighborhood looses power, the last active fiber repeater before your connection might be far enough away to not be affected by the outage.

Still requires Mutual Authentication — how would Phil be sure about who he is talking to?

But how safe is this really? These things sell to have quite some power and torque, so could probably maim someone by accident. And if they run with AI, I’m not sure there are actual safeguards in place that would be reliable? Just telling the AI to not do something doesn’t work with other AI approaches either…

A story I read about a company (?) creating an AGI which for safety reasons is disconnected from the internet. It then creates business plans or something for them, and they give it more and more compute power, until it can generate fantastic movies and series for people to enjoy. They publish those stories which become instant successes. The AGI slowly uses these movies to make society a better one by influencing the viewers subconsciously. I don’t remember the ending, but it was quite a good story.

Duh, the arrow clearly points to the US.

Would this count as a retaliation, which Trump warned them against?

One of Otto‘s oldest jokes.

I would argue Garfield is very literally true.

Well, they did say they never shared it.

Her hovercraft is full of eels.

What about the child’s friend who is visiting for a sleepover?

Wait, can anyone invite them in? Not just the people living there?

Unless you have aphantasia. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

4x10 is tough, I don’t wanna imagine doing 4x32… scnr
