First click the link. Then manually type 12ft.io/ in the URL bar, before the https://
I’m honestly not sure how it works because it doesn’t work when you share the link, but if you type it manually it does. Works on all sorts of sites too, but some sites have already opted out. Honestly the Firefox reader view that the other guy posted is even easier and more useful, assuming you use Firefox.
Oh cool. I’m using Firefox and I didn’t even realize that. Good tip 👌
Wow, this is so dystopian. Late stage capitalism at its finest.
Btw if you can’t get past the pay wall, add “12ft.io/” in front of the URL and it should bypass.
That’s good to hear, I agree that Lemmy is wholesome. Ngl I braced myself for the worst when I read the post title though 😅
PieFed! That’s the only other threadiverse project I know of.
Master, forgive me, but I have to go all out just this once 🤺
I assumed it was speech-to-text. “Off and” = often
118.7 mph? That’s nearly Stantonian
And I am calling Amazon’s “just walk out” service also a con because it was touted as automatic, even if also being mostly human labour.
That’s not what a con is. A con is a deliberate scam. Amazon’s automated checkout simply didn’t function as effectively as intended. They presumably lost money on the venture because the automation was unreliable. Nothing about this situation was a deliberate attempt to pay over 1,000 employees to check an automated system’s work.
The Mechanical Turk is an interesting story and I’m glad you linked it, but it’s not all that similar.
Gunned down. Soto got that dawg in him
Same. The spirit of the pre-corporate internet lives on here, and I find it very comforting and cozy.
As far as I know, clock speed is still pretty nice to have, but chip development has shifted towards adding multiple cores because it basically became technologically impossible to continue increasing clock speeds.
Why does it say share more_vert and volume_up after most of your paragraphs?
Generally, it seems like you’re projecting events fairly far into the future without much certainty.
Gods are seen as higher beings that create lesser beings. But if we create a higher being than ourselves, does that make us gods? The higher being created would be even more god-like than us, the gods. So who is god then?
I think it’s an interesting hypothetical. However, the problem comes in defining higher and lower beings, which is subjective. Furthermore, there are fundamental qualitative differences between biological and artificial intelligences, so it may be a case of comparing apples to oranges.
Again, it’s all so hypothetical that it’s nearly impossible to make any meaningful argument.
We have been experiencing problems with email verification in the past week. Apparently there is an issue with our email sender provider. Sorry about that.
Is this the account?

If so then it should be fixed. If not, please DM me the email address you are using to register.

Totally agree with what you’re saying, but I still think the way the article explained it is more appealing to the layman, even if it’s an oversimplification. It’s a publicity piece on the fediverse, the only goal is to get people in the door and then they’ll figure out for themselves if they belong here.
Btw a lot of discussion already happened on the original post, this crosspost was kinda unnecessary imo
Yeah I totally believe that they break easily and are way too expensive. But that applies to any cutting edge product ever. Assuming the flaws can be engineered out, the fundamental benefit of having a large screen on a small/portable phone is definitely a killer feature.
I was thinking that you would need increasingly beefy motors and cables/cranes as the size of the rocks scales. But for a reservoir, you could use the same pump over a longer period of time to store much more energy. It’s also easy to utilize a body of water with a volume much greater than the volume of a vertical cylinder.
That’s a miniscule amount compared to PSH facilities, whether it’s 2 MW capacity or 2 MWh storage.
It’s a cool concept but practically seems limited to niche applications due to the small capacity. Granted it is a prototype, but it also seems intuitive that pumping large amounts of water would be more efficient than moving solid blocks of heavy material for a gravity battery design.
Great news, he was absolutely terrible
