You've used Tesla voice control I see.. :p

It still has the issue that joining a popular channel can bury a server for a couple of hours whilst it downloads the entire history since it was created (hillariously trying to connect to thousands of servers that no longer exist.. the error log was.. impressive).

The new protocol was announced on here recently but synapse is stull running the old protocol with a proxy in front and the proxy just means clients can log off whilst it's updating, it doesn't fix the issue.

It's probably fine if you don't federate it, but I could just use my IRC server for that..

If it contains energy, there's probably a way to make that energy release in an uncontrolled fashion. As energy densities increase, so does the risk if that happens.

Luckily batteries are built such that it's actually quite hard to ignite them. As are fuel tanks for the same reason.

Yeah with car manufacturers the usual tactic is 'concept' cars of 'the next model' containing every single thing a consumer could wish for.. which of course never get built.

I wouldn't want to calculate what it'd cost to replace all my switches with 25G capable ones.. then all the network cards.. You'd have to have a really specific application to justify it.

10,000 years is kinda hard to prove without a time machine, but sounds useful for long term archival storage.

To put some numbers on it..

I don't think anyone in the US tests EV like TeslaBjorn to make a spreadsheet about it, although I guess you could find out the EPA ranges of all those cars, convert km to miles, and get a reasonable one.. percentages would be different as WLTP is a different test (it tends to exaggerate ranges, so will be higher, although nothing like the clusterfuck that NEDC was).

Polestar must be worried too.

It gives google access to all the traffic statistics for users of chrome, not just those going via google. That's valuable marketing data. They also have made sure that nobody else can get that data - they have to buy it from google as they become the sole source of it.

That's why they want to do it.. nothing to do with 'privacy'.

The last guy died after 2 months and didn't show any signs of rejection either.. I wouldn't break out the party yet.

Wars are already simulated like crazy. AI battles will be going on right now working out if various ukraine battles are winnable, what will happen if Iran gets too riled up, etc.

The bit we currently do wrong is then verifying the results using real people..

It'll happen in games first.. nobody cares if 'background NPC #15' is generated by AI, and mostly they voice a few sentences at a time.

Suddenly, voices aren't special.. Voice actors have to have something else, like movie or book fame (Audible books seem to be mostly voiced by the authors, and I can't see that going away). But only a few % really have that.. I bet there are thousands of voice actors we wouldn't even recognise the names of.

Get a Laser then.. Inkjets dry out if not regularly used, which on the cheaper printer often means 'throw it away and buy a new one' because they don't have replaceable heads. A laser will happily sit for months idle then spring into life.
