I wonder if there were already some early prototypes he could have drawn inspiration from.

Is this a thing now? You’re trying to turn it into a thing, right?

Haven’t I read this comment somewhere before…

Is the decade long transition period really over?

These numbers seem really small compared to all the headlines I’ve seen over the years. I expected Chile to be closer to 99% if it’s the leading country in solar power.

It’s a tradition at this point. If you post an infographic about unix/linux system folders, you’re obliged to avoid all modern sources. Preferably, you would use material that is at least 20 years old.

If the system works and makes financial sense, then it could help with energy storage, which would be awesome.

The material appears to be cheap, but obviously you would need a lot of it. Storing meaningful amounts of hydrogen in anything other than a high pressure tank takes ridiculous amounts of space.

If this technology was applied at an industrial scale - and you should - a storage facility could be as large as an open pit mine. Large scale production of renewable energy already requires plenty of space, so many such facilities are already located in remote places. If you also add energy storage to the plan, you’ll just need even more space than initially expected, but that shouldn’t be a problem, right? I mean, you’re already building in the middle of nowhere, so there’s plenty of space.

Here’s an idea. Once you’ve already split the water molecules with electrolysis, you should throw those streams into separate mass spectrometers, but without the detector obviously. The idea is, that with ions flying in a magnetic field, their mass would determine where they land. Anything that isn’t the right kind of isotope, let alone right kind of atom, would be separated into the waste stream.

There’s also a huge 0-wheels market. Just think how cool wheel-free skates and boards are.

Your skin can (kinda sort of) sense temperature, but what about the muscle, fat and bone that sits below the skin? If those parts get suddenly heated up, would you even notice before it’s too late? If not, this could lead to some serious damage.

That keyboard thing was pretty clever. I would not have thought of that.

They said that people would start dying like flies in no time. Why do I care? You see, currently houses and cars are so expensive, because there are many people who also want to buy those things. If the population was cut to a fraction, as was promised, the prices would crash accordingly due to massive oversupply of everything. I’m still waiting for the day when I can buy a house with 1000 €.

Humans aren’t always very good at that, and LLMs were trained on stuff written by humans, so here we are.

An LLM needs to evaluate and modify the preliminary output before actually sending it. In the context of a human mind that’s called thinking before opening your mouth.

Aah, the classic Soon™. The gaming industry has taught you well.

We were all supposed to die by late 2020. What’s taking so long?

I think we could send robot farmers there to grow some food for the people living in orbit. Maybe low-G carrots could be nicer than the ones grown on earth.

Humans are very picky. Must have certain amount of gravity, need to see green stuff, can’t handle radiation etc. it’s is as if they were built to be on a specific planet and nowhere else.

If all else fails, use “significant at a p>0.05 level” and hope no one notices.
