Plug-in systems are built around a microinverter that feeds solar energy back into the home via a standard wall jack.

What the actual fuck?

The PowerStream has three proprietary ports: one that connects to your MC4 solar panels

Disqualified.

This.

But also a bit of awkward silence, as a european who’s grandparents, when I think about it retroactively, suspiciously often bashed jews as part of a casual conversation, and who’s grandparents used to utter a german word here or there, despite not living anywhere near germany or austria, oh jesus christ, am I a nazi descendant? 😮

Almost every paragraph is it’s own, self-sufficient, malignant cancer. How did this even get published?

Why would you punish my innocent budget with filthy ideas like this?

The only thing worse than unskipable ads are the waiting screens (press a button to continue) in front of the loading screens.

I mean, the machine is capable of billions of operations per second. Why is it waiting for ME to push a button?

Any relation to this guy?

They totally are. It was quite surprising, because I’ve only ever watched an HDTV rip before, and the scene looked fine there.

Lot of us don’t have to be businesmen. We can just get hired and delegate the networking to our bosses.

I swear to god, if the aliens flew by and nuked half of the globe, you fuckers would rebuild society and mass media for the sole purpose of blaming capitalism.

I HATE to put on a tinfoil hat, but this is the best thing that could have happened to the ruling party. They are already in the middle of dismantling the media and justice. This will accelerate the process.

I wouldn’t say he’s a fascist. He only ever presents what the majority of the voters wants to hear.

Every time the party needs a new demographic on board, he either changes the rethoric, or, if it’s a taboo topic, allies himselves with people not afraid of breaking that taboo.

Nobody is going to upgrade the grid, if there is no prospect of increased demand.

I’ve noticed that media tend to bitch equally about both surplus and shortage of certain commodities. Expensive power? Horrible! Cheap power? Catastrophe! That way the world seems even more depressing than it really is.

I still have this, but suspect it’s bricked after I’ve pressed the “do not press” button on the side. (i’m a filthy button pusher) If anybody has some firmware dumps or at least documentation, I’d appreciate it.

Never managed to use the brainwaves, but it was sensitive to the facial muscle movement. Good enough to play pong.

One would think that polish is all jokes and laughs, but the course on duolingo is just “The boy is eating the bread”, or “The woman is drinking the milk”

No lagun or bober in sight.

Pretty amazing… that apple allows access to the sensors, and provides an option to mirror the screen over HDMI! Given how touchy feely they were about openning the NFC stack, this is truly unbelievable.

If the only way to a revolution is making lives more miserable, is the revolution even worthy? Something, something, accelerationism…

Luckily, the patch won’t install for me, because the default size of the recovery partition is too low.

I’m confused by this revelation. What did everybody think the box was?

The best way to do on-device AI would still be a standard SoC. We tend to forget that these mass produced mobile SoCs are modern miracles for the price, despite the crapy software and firmware support from the vendors.

No small startup is going to revolutionize this space unless some kind of new physics is discovered.

What we call intelligence is largely a genetic trait. Otherwise I’d be able to have this conversation with my dog.

I think the main point is, if the genetic predisposition to what we call intelligence does not positively affect the reproduction rate, the process of evolution could phase it out at any time. The “goal” of evolution is adaptation in order to reproduce. The intelligence is not THE strategy to adapt, its A strategy. It could be replaced by something else, like faster reproduction rate, or the ability to survive in harsh environment without a need for clothes, housing, and medicine.

Didn’t mimblewimble suffer from a disign flaw where the transactions were anonymized in the blocks, but traceable for anyone listening for the mempool chatter?

13 years, and there’s still no feature parity.
