This might work on the scale of a building to even out its own power usage throughout a day, but to make a difference on a city grid scale, you need an insane amount of height and/or weight.
Check out Pumped Water Energy Storage. It's the same concept but uses water as the weight. Doing the math on the Ludington Pumped Storage Power Plant's active capacity, it stores over 100 billion pounds of water.
Is that using numbers for carbon capture from the atmosphere? Carbon capture directly on the exhaust of a fossil fuel power plant would probably be an order of magnitude more efficient. Obviously you can't sustain everything by only using fuel combustion, but you could probably reduce to total emissions per kWh quite a bit without even looking at renewables.
They don't have to explicitly ban the Cybertruck if it doesn't pass the existing regulations. It's not legal to drive in UK/EU. You could buy one for display-only or something I'm sure.
Vinyl is lossy in that any dust or scratches on the record can be heard in the output, so this is only true if you've got an absolutely pristine vinyl.
I've realized that for a lot of things that a phone does, e-ink is too slow to refresh. Even web browsing becomes painful to navigate sometimes.
Maybe a dual-screen approach would work with e-ink on one side and a regular screen on the other?
I will say, you can't beat the satisfaction of tracking down the root cause and actually fixing the bug.
I don't understand why so many people meme about covering up bugs with crazy hacks. It's not fun constantly looking over your shoulder to see if that bug has resurfaced. They start to pile up.
they built a model specifically to work well on the benchmarks.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure that's what everyone is doing. If you're not measuring against something, there's no way to tell if you're doing anything at all.
Another point is that if the dam is 10m tall, it has to be built to withstand 10m of water. just because it sits at 5m most of the time doesn't mean a heavy rain couldn't raise the level, and if the dam collapses that's going to be catastrophic vs just spilling over the top.
Personally I'd be happy if I never had to touch a micro-USB device ever again. Mini-USB is somewhat acceptable, but USB-C blows the rest out of the water. It's unquestionably the better USB standard
That would be USB 2.0 and is pretty safe to assume that all USB ports and cables support this (If you can find a USB 1.0 or 1.1 port I'll be impressed). Why bother with a 480Mbps logo if it's the default minimum?
