Further, theoretically the point of the tariffs are to push Americans towards American-made goods. So stopping the sale of imported Framework laptops would seem to be something that the folks who have posted here so far should applaud.

The effect of the tariffs is to highlight goods that are American-made only on paper but not in reality. And I think this is intended.

Comment What counts as "written by a human"? (Score 1) 76

Let's suppose that I wrote a story and then asked the AI to criticize every part. And it criticized the part where the professor looked at the parrot reproachingly, and all feathers on the parrot turned red and then fell off one by one. Allegedly, that's too evil. So, I changed this so that the feathers don't fall off. Does this still count as human-written?

Amps, volts, or ohms are still useful here, in order to describe the optimal load. For a completely overexaggerated example, if the battery has an internal resistance of 1 teraohm, it means that, for practical output voltages, it acts as a constant current source of 0.026 microamps, no matter the voltage, and the majority of energy is wasted. To get the claimed 170 microwatts, you would need to allow the output terminals to charge to 13 KV (which would then reduce the output current by half), something completely impractical to work with.

In other words, I don't know how to convert 13 KV and 0.013 microamps DC into 1.3 volts and a bit less than 130 microamps DC.

When you go past 8 TB, ignore M.2. Use enterprise-grade drives, which come in the U.2/U.3 factor, plus adapters. And you can already have 60 TB on a single QLC NVMe drive (Solidigm D5-P5336, available now for 7200 USD). Or, if you don't want QLC, there are multiple 30 TB SSD offerings from other manufacturers.
