They paid so much more than market price that you have to think this isn't strictly a business move. (This also happened with Twitter and Saudi Arabia.)

Several people are already demoing mobile charging trucks. Pretty soon the AAA will just arrive and plug you in for a quick boost, the same way they'd give you a few gallons of gas.

Since when are the rich important...

I don't know, the law is pretty draconian. If a child under 18 tries to register, their email is sent directly to Ken Paxton.

This sounds like someone made minute, non-revolutionary advances on standard de-salination and described it as if they were the first person to invent evaporative desalination. People have been doing sun powered desalination for thousands of years.

At small scales.

At large scales, desalination plants use reverse osmosis, which pretty much inherently creates a brine that is released back into the environment. You're not "moving the salt" to any useful industrial process, since it's still rather dilute.

At best, some of those plants use solar power to drive the RO process. But we'd much rather have the electricity to power other things, so a process that uses a non-semiconducting metal surface to perform solar-powered evaporative distillation, without a need to dispose of a brine, and without relying upon solar-electric generation and conversion, is a bigger deal than you make it out to be.

Looking at America today, who can blame him?

The elevated inflation was the result of supply chain issues which were, in fact, transitory around the world. The prices remained high because manufacturers had no reason to lower prices (especially in the US where the economy was doing very well). It's a global tragedy that Americans didn't realize how good we had it.

This is a list of the bottom-tier dumbest MAGAts in America. Hopefully they take notice when his incompetence becomes relevant to their lives.

We've already seen this on social media, where people take a couple pieces of truth and a couple fabrications and add their own framework to create a new reality that happens to jibe exactly with their own world view.

Yes, it's also bad when it happens to the arts--but at least the shitty output can't affect anyone against their will.

They're just building a training dataset...

If you give the AI a story that looks like oppression, its going to slot into the narrative and give you the most probable response based on its training data. That happens to be Marxist language here, but if the prompts were tweaked slightly it could have been serfdom, or rebellion (probably not due to anti-violence RHLF).

It's also unlikely they'd mix the concrete on site - most comes from ready mix plants. But construction sites do use a lot of water.

I recall that even then their software was supposed to provide an edge over AMD's allegedly superior hardware (with shit drivers). Useful AI should eventually negate the CUDA advantage, but it will take more than AI to make 1.6 nm chips.

I don't know, three letter agencies are very territorial. Would you claim some random footage shows one of your toys when there was a chance it would get blabbed some Murdoch kid?

I know it's kind of off topic, but there's going to be some fun when whatever groupstole the trellix/McAfee/fireeye code gets done looking for holes (and you know they're there...). We're going to have a massive breach across millions of corporate desktops.
