They are of the order of 60% thermally efficient,
Simply nope. Theoretical limit is 42%
You are mixing up "combined cycle gas plants" which use a combination of gas turbines together with a steam generating boiler
However 30% efficiency, is not considered particularly inefficient.
The inferencing is happening on the satellite.
Only question and result is bound by latency.
No idea where you get your numbers from.
Rice harvest in Thailand is not even 50% of what it used to be 10 years ago.
We have constant switching between super droughts and super flooding.
Perhaps somewhere they started to grow some, and it evens out a bit. Who knows? In North East Thailand - Isaan, the current rice situation is a CATASTROPHE!
Either this year this area has a drought or a floor, or the other area next year.
A day to day device with account access could facilitate that.
It can not do anything without you.
So: nope.
From what I can tell most middle managers hate their employees - especially those who are smarter and more skilled - and can't wait to replace them.
They all probably think they'll be one of the last humans at the company.
It'll be funny when AI supplants middle management.
The right way is for a manager to be the advocate and ally of his subordinates. It can work really well but there's little place for ego and envy.
It's just used an excuse for censorship is the main problem.
Like every single South Park episode has its own page but several public intellectuals who spoke out against lockdowns suddenly became "not notable".
"Trust the Experts" / "You're no longer an expert"
Abuse is inherent in the system as currently defined.
They could use some proxy like view counts, but that would be objective, not subjective.
Yet every once in a while I look up some obscure biological molecule or plant that hardly anybody cares about, mostly for the external references because the articles are so short, and I'd hate to see those get purged. I've found some odd and rare flora growing in my forest and appreciate the information.
Say what you want about LLM's but they could probably be tasked with policing for defacement.
> that old computer or phone that has had a factory wipe
Don't trust old phones with too much value.
There are hardware bugs on Bluetooth, WiFi, and SS7 that are fairly easy to hack with the right setup and SS7 especially is built into the same baseband controller so main memory can be exfiltrated over cellular even without an active SIM.
Keeping it turned off most of the time reduces the attack surface, of course.
A few phones do better - switchable modems, etc. but very few and even some phones that meet GrapheneOS specs are imperfect.
An old ThinkPad with LibreBoot is probably OK if you want to get really nerdy. Yet 0.00001% of the population can handle that.
Hot/warm/cold is of course another layer of protection. But again, very few people can manage this.
Still, if you are transferring $200 to your dedicated phone to go out shopping, it's not very tragic if it gets lost.
We really don't have a good solution for the 99% yet. So companies like Binance step in and make a profit (as long as they can assume liability and responsibility for losses).
It sounds like that devops laptop had
It seems more likely that what they're looking at is 'nobody' who reads Reddit posts without logging in will ever need to visit Reddit.com because they can just get all the answers they want from a Gemini query.
I can see their conundrum while noticing that it will suck for humans more than AI and that AI - as currently [not] enforced by law - is the primary culprit in this round of enshittification.
The current economic situation is that all profit from the current web will accrue to the Mag7 while their datasources will foot the bill for making it possible.
If somebody doesn't invent a better economic model soon there won't be much content left for AI to scrape and injest.
Verify that you're human [ ].
Here's a tip if you ever want to ruin a Halloween party. Seek out the most squeamish-seeming adult or child you can find in the act of consuming candy corn. Then tell them they just filled their mouth with bug secretions. If this fact alarms you — or if you’re an inveterate hater of candy corn and thus think that you have been spared — I regret to inform you that by eating many classic Halloween candies, you are, to some extent, eating bugs. More precisely, you are eating a bug by-product that is in many cases listed on the package as "confectioner’s glaze." This glaze is used on jelly beans, Milk Duds, Junior Mints, Whoppers, Lemonheads, and Sugar Babies, to name a few.
Proton used to let you buy an account with Bitcoin. Then they started requiring a credit card number or an outside email/phone.
It was clear to me that the perception of security replaced privacy.
I'm not sure what I need Proton for that needs my banking information tied to it.
The article is actually reassuring that I didn't misperceive what was going on.
Most browsers actually have an API for AI, or have a "sibling" supporting AI.
No screen capturing or fake mouse clicks needed.
There are worth
I worked for one Deutsche Bank had acquired.
And they dropped the bar even lower.
I do not know what your phone app does.
But mine is for transferring money from my account to any other account.
For that I do not use a card, but my account. How else should that work?
On top of that, I top up my phone.
Do QR code payments
making the bank's own app unnecessary, and one less point of attack.
That is silly. The point of attack is not the app, but the backend of the bank.
