Any competent organization better not be able to articulate 5 years worth of work in anywhere close to 2 weeks. What even is this headline? Clickbait

how often do I have to buy a new one? Batteries are one of the highest cost and most consumable items I can think of.

won't this just make the sound cancelation teams at the tech companies work hard to "improve" their features?
Re:The Oxford Comma – Why and Why Not on Thursday March 26, 2026 @04:12PM (#47535118)
It is important to use the Oxford Comma because it is commonly accepted, fits with tradition, and is just correct.

Now if only Apple shipped an AI model that could be used on it......

This is the dumbest idea I've read about in a long time.
This is a pretty dumb idea. This article is from researchers at a University. Has anyone done this for real without a grant subsidy?

I understand the interest in maximizing space utilization, but this just doesn’t make any sense.

Some replies indicate field setups for solar should take priority and tractor/equipment systems should adapt to these new systems.

Crazy stuff.

Re:Heat Pumps Take on Cold Climates on Tuesday February 27, 2024 @11:08AM (#39525725)
No, I think you got it. You either have a lot of work to install ductwork or you're going to be doing lots of mini splits with ugly lines all over the exterior.

Re:A Canadian payroll dependency chart on Tuesday January 02, 2024 @02:32PM (#38845920)
incorrect.
and that should be obvious right? Let's say you're familiar with how fast your car eats gas and you drive around on flats all the time.

When you take it into the mountains, it's not surprising that your gas gauge goes down a bit faster when you're pushing that gas pedal a little further than usual.

Perhaps the takeaway is that EVs shouldn't so prominently display the range as part of the "gas" gauge the way they tend to do.

I'm floored that people are willing to keep accumulating debt at these rates. I have a feeling it can't go on much longer...

Re:Everything I believed about nuclear waste was wrong on Friday February 10, 2023 @01:37PM (#34743777)
I would like to see a MASSIVE increase in the amount of nuclear power in use around the world. AND, I appreciate calling out conflicts of interest, astroturfing, and artificial "viral" information campaigns.

Thank you for outing the author.

Re:Why curl is used everywhere, even on Mars on Friday December 03, 2021 @11:15AM (#29431619)
I mean, isn't this less about how good curl is and more about how HTTP/S is likely the most popular and most invested-in protocol in the history of the networked communication?
