I’m all for building out infrastructure for bikes and teaching car brains to share the road, but this isn’t sharing. It’s a slow moving vehicle monopolizing the road rather than sharing it.
It’s no different than pedestrians on the sidewalk making room for faster walkers to go by. It costs you nothing to be more accommodating to other people’s needs. There should be at least one bypass lane when there are this many lanes.
It just makes sense for efficiency since the faster moving vehicles will clear the road more quickly when infrastructure is available for their use.
It actually makes a great case for having bike lanes as this would reserve infrastructure for the separate uses without making a value judgment about who’s more important or whatever the fuck you’re on about.
This CO2 is acting as a reusable fluid in a closed loop. The initial capture of the CO2 costs energy, but the battery keeps using the same CO2 over and over again. So the question of efficiency should be more about land usage and maintenance of the rest of the parts and the labor needed for each megawatt stored vs what other grid scale energy storage costs in materials and labor.
The rough reality is that batteries aren’t going to be up to the task of grid scale energy storage unless they have a couple huge breakthroughs. Something like this is a far less materially expensive way to store energy for later use.
Currently most grid scale energy storage is just pumping water up a hill and letting it back down through a generator. It is extremely limited in where it can be used and requires tremendous space to be effective.
Has anyone ever tried to communicate to open AI support? Their support is basically nothing but chat GPT with a filter on it. I am trying to help somebody set up SSO with Open AI and it’s been two weeks of back and forth sharing videos showing screenshots that their AI system completely ignores and asks me if I’ve tried clearing my cache for the umpteenth time.
I’m helping a company set it up but they are wholly unprepared for how unreliable and shitty it is. So often I hear people excited about all of the things they can do with it and I worry that they actually believe it works as advertised.
In fairness a government should be the only entity surveilling people in its own borders under most any circumstances.
I’m pretty opposed to most any kind of surveillance outside of warranted due process, and I don’t think that any domestic surveillance needs privacy for longer than it takes to do an investigation and prosecution.
It’s when governments are allowed to do things in secret and outside of the law that the whole concept of the law is undermined.
Boot lickers and fragile snowflakes like to report videos on topics they don’t like.
Automated systems go with the flow and take down whatever they brigade.
What’s ironic about this particular video is that they delisted it from his page, removed links from the homepage, but still put it in my auto play…
One way or another I bet they aren’t paying him for it. YouTube is such scum.
