I'm not sure if the 1800kWh is correct here. I'm guessing it's one of these two:

- You're talking about what heat pumps use in electricity. However, the system would store heat. If a heat pump uses 1 kWh to get 3 kWh of heat into the house, a heat based storage system needs to store the 3 kWh.

- You're confusing gas & electricity. 1800 m3 in gas would be about correct. However, that's about 9,5 kwh per m3 in heat.

There are interesting heat storage methods though, there is a long term basalt heat storage system in 'Ecodorp Boekel' in The Netherlands. It uses solar to heat during the summer and heats the homes with that in winter.

Due to size though, it only really works in 'collective' communities. The bigger the size, the more heat it can store per size.

It's possible to store energy for full seasons, just not electricity.

It's been done with heat. Using cheap electricity in the summer to generate heat and store it in basalt. There's a small block of houses in The Netherlands that gets their heat that way: https://www.ecodorpboekel.nl/basaltaccu-is-opgebouwd-uit-duu...

There's more systems like this around the world, although they use different storage methods.

I agree it's not the equivalent, but the file could've contained things like Minecon attendees. That would still mean it's badly secured of course, but putting a huge community effort behind it and youtubers making 'Biggest Secret in Minecraft' videos about it would suddenly turn into very bad taste.

That's turning locations into coordinates (ip geolocation). It's to be expected that the gps log only bases their logs on the coordinates from the GPS from the phone.

I experience this a lot. I have a Fairphone 5 and helping provide answers to questions in threads online is a minefield. You answer questions of someone, and somebody else comes along and starts shouting they want feature x.

People seem to flock to smaller phone companies and demand they fill in their one feature. Whether it's USB-OTG display functionality, headphone jack, slider to kill all connections, etc, everybody is convinced their one feature is holding this phone company back, just because they want this one feature.

It's just disappointing. I'm just happy with my long-lasting repairable phone.

There's two types of built-in LLM's:

- The ones the user sees (like a sidepanel). These often use LLM API's like OpenAI.

- The browser API ones. These are indeed local, but are often very limited smaller models (for Chrome this is Gemini Nano). Results from these would be lower quality, and of course with large contexts, either impossible or slower than using an API.

I don't understand the 'human verification' aspect.

Your docs show a simple image where the user can choose to keep a new object or not. [0] Afterwards it says: "The ones you chose to keep will be uploaded to OpenStreetMap using upload_osm.". This is uploading features automatically. The fact that it asks 'are you sure' is just silly. We all know if humans have to click yes 90% of the time, and no 10% of the time, they'll miss a lot of no's.

The image also proofs that:

- You don't see any polygons properly. You just see a an image of where the pool is. Already on the image I can see that if the polygons align to that image, it will be a total mess.

- You don't see any polygons further away from the object.

Both these points are in stereo's reply that the resulted data was a mess.

Please consider pulling the project. This will generate a lot of data that volunteers will have to check and revert.

If a Kwh of power costs $ 0,30, then 1 watt = $ 2,63 a year. (0.001 kwh * 24 hours * 365 days * $ 0,30).

So, it goes quite quickly. Savings of 20 watt save you $ 52 a year.

Based on previous articles[1], it's either return them on Starliner or bring them home as part of the SpaceX Crew-9 mission[2].

So the timeline is irrelevant to embarrassment. The Crew-9 mission has been rescheduled to 24 September, a decision needs to be done way beforehand. If the decision is bring them down using SpaceX, the Starliner crew will then stay until the end of the Crew-9 mission in March.

Be careful here about confirmation bias. If you only spot 10% of the AI-written code, you'll still think you see all of it, because a 100% of the ones you spot are indeed AI-written. And the 10% you see, will indeed be painfully obvious.

The ones you don't notice aren't obvious.

If you mean, technically, I can't help you.

But for users: You install Ventoy on your USB drive, and then you can drop ISO files in a folder. On startup, Ventoy opens and you can choose the ISO to boot.

This means you just have one bootable USB, and no more using tools to create bootable usb drives.
