Sure, it works great during the way with, y'know, 5-10GW (actually, double (and a little bit more) that to charge the massive battery UPS) of solar powering your favorite AI's DC.

So, everybody has a Tesla power wall or something similar in their house/hut? If there are still power utilities around, to cover when that battery pack runs down, that power is going to be at a premium (because they can't charge premium during the day because of all the renewables, night is gonna end up being the new 'premuim price' time).

The answer is: fund fusion! It runs 24/7!

I remember that.

I know it's "hard to dismiss that as an unreasonable step" for TSA to destroy your phone and smartwatch, toothbrush, take scissors to your clothes, and so on.

It's not Trump's fault that we don't make crap-all in the US anymore... you can thank people wanting higher and higher wages (and tons more privilege's) (which has jacked up prices on everything, also) for tons of companies going overseas or reducing headcount at the places that stayed here.

Much cheaper to build stuff in Asia and Pakistan and such... and over there, they can give the whole family a job (including the kids)! Pay them a dollar and a handful of rice; in an area where there are no other jobs, they'll take what they can get.
Check the labels for all your clothes... how many were made in an area with high labor costs? How about tech? Where did the wood in your house come from?
And, you're going to say that nobody does child labor... to which I post:

(Bing)
"Child labor remains a significant issue in many poor countries, with millions of children engaged in work that hinders their education and development.
Prevalence of Child Labor
Child labor is defined as the employment of children in work that deprives them of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend school, and is harmful to their physical and mental development. According to recent statistics, approximately 160 million children worldwide are engaged in child labor, with the highest prevalence in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia."

"Just as if you are not interested in "technology" anymore." - Said to the person with two laptops and a big tower (9 harddrives in that alone), and three more on a shelf, 3D printer, surround sound, Blu-Ray player... you were saying?

And, the citizens didn't put Trump/Vance in office... you can send thank you letters to the Electoral College.

It's not up to United, it's up to the TSA.

Don't worry, soon they'll be tearing your glued together phone apart to check for bombs, and then making you reassemble it before you board (if it'll even go back together), and they'll cut your toothbrush apart to make sure it's not a weapon (which will make it a weapon, so they have to confiscate it).

And... stealing your data to use for training and so AI can balance your checkbook and buy your Wishlist on Amazon.
The stock price bubble bursting won't get rid of the AI in every aspect of everybody's life, it's just cost more than it does now (when the dot-com bubble burst, did the internet go anywhere?).

Bet ya it'll be a thin client that network boots, and when you're not using it, the AI compute power gets shared with the world without you getting any kickbacks.

I can only assume MongoDB is kicking a bit to /. to keep the lights on.

Sorry to tell you, LLMs/AI (their stuff) anything is (as far as they are concerned, are), in fact, cancer.
You're not going to get away from it, it's going to work it's way into your life... you toaster and fridge will need replacing someday, what do you think you'll find?

What's the highest voltage you're held in your hand?
Mine was 200KV at 100 Amps... yeah, 2 megawatts... fun times making fulgurites (2x 100KVA pole pigs, 100Amp breaker)... on the end of an 8-foot chicken-stick!
(we also set our fire-proof high-voltage lab on fire... overachievers, much)

I'm biased because of my first world privilege? In what way?
I know my US dollar isn't worth much more than the atoms it's printed on (same as the rest around the world)

No, I know my computers (which my office laptop charges my cell) is powered by nuclear and hydro, same as the rest of my apartment... it's not a special outlet or anything.

The 'hopes and dreams' and energy storage fantasies are your crowd, unless you have a legit argument. The woke vaccinated shit is a total insult to people, not just me. Oh, and the vaccine must've done something because I never caught COVID (despite never wearing a mask unless I had to to enter someplace) ;-P (it's nice to go to the store and buy my food in person).

Well, if you're not a Star Wars fan (I know Star Trek fans are Trekkies, what are Star Wars fans? Warries?), what're you doing on this post?

Ahh... and now, you're comparing a movie character to someone on here... do you have the swingin' pair to email the admins about them?
Didn't think so.
So, you're not reporting them, not emailing admins... but, you're trying to call them out as being equals as far as Jar Jar's stupidity... drinkypoo is much more intelligent than that.
Or, are you _yet_ another rsilvergun clone?

Yes, I did... and your post, while it showed creativity for it's content, the basis that 'everyone is good and isn't gonna steal, and everything is totally renewable'.
(Underlines designate me, so does the following)

1) Not tied to frequent fuel deliveries _(Coal and NatGas don't need delivery... must be active coal mines, and active NatGas sources in-country.)_ If you manage to go 1,000% renewable someplace, anyplace, on this spinning rock, we all wanna know how you did it, because there's this thing called heat that some areas need, and charging BEV cars that are being forced.

2) Does not require much that humans don't already need - sun and air. (Variability will affect your power storage needs) _(2) Fallacy... how's the solar power at night? How's that wind on a no-wind day? Guarantee that those things aren't gonna vanish in the middle of the night to be sold online or to a ganglord?)_ So, hire 100 security guys to watch the place 24/7, 3-shifts? If you leave your car unattended, in parts there, the rims and tires and probably more, will be gone in a minute, so expensive stuff like solar panels and wind turbines aren't gonna have a long lifetime there.

3) It can be deployed almost anywhere, and even be portable. _(3) So, you can carry a house-sized solar panel to recharge your dead cell phone? I highly doubt anyone is gonna be trucking around solar panels to set up someplace, simply following where people go. I know you'll bring up battery storage for the excess to use overnight... what excess? Do you really think they're gonna build one set for daytime and one to charge the batteries? Are the batteries mobile? Who's going to clean the panels of dust? Who's going to guard the whole she-bang?)_ There is no excess... if there's excess power, toss a data center there and we'll just drain the countries wells to cool it!

I hate to tell ya, companies like this don't play softball... they're pitching over the mound at 500MPH, and if you're not paying attention, your farming community gets the bulldozer.

If they would be so beneficial, then why haven't they built them there?
Oh... the DC supplies it's own water and power? You expect the DC outfits to pay for those? No wonder they aren't being built to pay those few cops' salaries.
The DC outfits don't want to spend a fortune to build all that infrastructure... they wanna mooch off the existing stuff.
Why wouldn't they?

I wouldn't have known about the YouTube post (I'm not subscribed to the whole ecosystem)... my primary news sites are here and HaD, local news (KNSI), and CNN, BBC, and occasionally Al-Jazeera... I take what they all say into account and average them out and get damn close to the truth.
And, I'm not starting any big stuff by saying that.

Maybe, the mysterious whoever's behind the server here should look through submissions more often.

Honestly, I didn't know that... that could've been interesting. Jar Jar starts as a supporter of Jedis, and later on does the whole Dark Side transition... done right, he could've been as terrifying as the Mouth Of Sauron, or even worse.
But, to just shove a character into the universe, then just vanish them, that's just bad practice.

Unfortunately, that kind of thing is becoming the new 'norm' in movies today.

That'd be like deciding to continue the original Master And Commander movie, but you replace the Captain with Radcliffe and the Doctor with Weasley (I do, so, wish they had continued that movie... that would've been awesome!)
