I mean maybe, it’s just a back of napkin calculation i didnt spend more than a 5s search, think of it as a lower bound I guess. I don’t think my conclusion really changes if it’s 40% vs 20%, point is that it’s more than enough to power peak usage. I tried digging a bit more but couldn’t find anything that contradicted or confirmed it. Here in Canada 1MWh per month is typical for an electrified house (ie electric heating, cooling and stovetop), but our houses are big, our electricity generally cheap and our climate different.

Wikipedia lists avg consumption per capita for China as 5MWh/person/yr, half that of the US, Canada and Australia but that doesn’t take into account household size which imagine is higher in china. Also worth noting China has been adopting evs relatively quick and they generally take a huge amount of power.

I got it from here

So an average Chinese home takes ~1MWh/mo of electricity, they have 100Mwh and they say 300 discharges a year and support 12000 people. So they expect this to cover about a fifth of the energy usage, which seems pretty great.

It’s not common but the pixel 8 has an infrared sensor in the camera that they advertise as being able to measure the temperature of stuff. Apparently it’s fda approved to measure body temperature.

Obviously the best choice to switch search engines. But isn’t pressing page down or adding a ruel to your adblock easier than editing the URL?

If this application is legit it’s going to get snatched up by Apple/Amazon/Google to make their voice assistants better, right now they can’t handle cross talk at all.

Fair enough I thought I was taking crazy pills for a bit there!

I’ll admit I don’t know much about apple products, but I can’t find any reference to a camera on any apple watch. It’s not mentioned on the spec page or in any reviews I can find. It would also make features like remote camera kind of redundant.

Could you show an example of one of these smart watches? I use a garmin vivoactive and it most definitely does not have a camera, and is their premium line. It’s 5 years old now, but the new models don’t have it either.

Most smart watches don’t have cameras so Machine vision-y things.

Obviously the pin is way off from where it would need to be for that to be useful though

No some of them are the marks.

But if we want to play bad faith statistics games then 5% is roughly the percent of Americans who have gone to prison.

All the ‘advantages’ to crypto seem to me to really be ways of avoiding regulation (or are only advantageous without regulation)

Well apparently it’s programmed to bypass the safety system after 3 attempts under the assumption that the user knows best.

This seems like a really dumb choice, but I can see why an engineer would want to point out that it’s not incompetent engineering but an incompetent business department.

Bonnets cover the engine, evs don’t have engines, and their motors and other important components aren’t always centrally located nor do they need much regular maintenance so the front is sometimes made into a storage compartment, the frunk.

I genuinely think he’s trying to scuttle the site to hide negative press for him and other billionaires.

Sure he could have just shut it down immediately as he bought it but if he did that, everyone would go to a single alternative, doing it slowly means that the people leaving go to a myriad of smaller (weaker, less likely to survive and less influencial) sites instead.

It takes a weekend to setup initially but a radarr/sonarr pipeline is way way easier to use than a sketchy streaming site. Just add the show when you think of it (even if it hasn’t come out yet) and it’ll handle the rest. You can also share instances easily among friends

That’s not what the article is claiming though is it. The article is conflating putting a phone display 6in from your face and putting a vr headset on. These are not comparable.

Earlier in the event, Apple showed off a new feature for iPhone and iPad designed to encourage users to move their screens a bit further from their faces to reduce eye strain and the risk of developing nearsightedness — but those concerns appeared to have disappeared by the time the Vision Pro and its two screens directly in front of users’ eyes took the (virtual) stage.

VR and AR headsets use lenses that make the viewing distance equivalent to about 1m.

So my bad, this video is not made by the creators of the song, but by an anti-AI person, they added the subtitles, the cutaways to evil robots and the weird message at the end. They are also called “Big Data Analytics”.

Here’s something that looks more legit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l71Hh1gPkE

To me the biggest problem with it is that it doesn’t understand the relationship between the meanings of the words and the melody of the song. It kinda makes it sound like a bad parody song. I think if you looked at just the lyrics or just the melody they would be quite convincing on their own.

Statements like this make people take privacy less seriously. I don’t see how a music streaming site could possibly function without at least indirectly collecting the information displayed in the wrap up.
