400g a day of fruits and vegetables is out of touch? Good god. And the hope for flickers ever more dimly...
There was also that article a couple of days ago about how more than 50% of them don't read even a single book in a year. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.slashdot.org%2Fstor...
Yeah, we're screwed.
"...a prediction rooted not in some exotic technical breakthrough but in the basic math of electricity supply: chip output is growing exponentially, and electrical output outside China is essentially flat."
Chip output has nothing to do with "electricity supply" and growth in "electrical output" in space is worse than "essentially flat", it's nonexistent. It's not clear what this "basic math" is, but's it's clear who's saying it.
From all of the above it seems like the "basic" and "clear" solution is to build more power stations. It would be much, much cheaper to slap the SpaceX branding on some new nuclear power stations. Or to just buy Westinghouse and vertically integrate.
You cannot believe what you see on YouTube, any more than you can believe what you see on TV.
This. A thousand times this. Even the YT videos that are supposed to be a "how-to".
airbags are debatable as in some situations they can be more dangerous (I.E. if you drive with your hands in the "douchebag" position, meaning one hand at 12 o'clock, airbag goes off and you will eat your radius and ulnar and be lucky if it doesn't cause a lot of damage).
Not to mention they will sometimes explode for no reason. Remember that huge Takata recall?
" Not so distracting to me as the lane-keeping steering hints...
You mean when the car pulls at the steering wheel and it feels like you have a flat tyre? I had a rental which did that. Felt dangerous as hell.
Decent article and mostly useful comments when this was written up on Hackaday last year: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhackaday.com%2F2025%2F11%2F2...
As far as the wind/solar industries go, it's hard to see them lasting much longer assuming market players like Commonwealth and Helion get anywhere near their milestones.
Yeah, electricity production from nuclear fusion will be DOUBLED next year. The next year it will TRIPLE! Hell, why not increase it by a MILLION PERCENT!
Google is a search engine, an advertisement company, and has a video company, so I don't think they should be trusted for medical anything.
This. Google owns search and Youtube. It's hardly surprising that their search site recommends their video site. What is surprising, and concerning, is that people give them any credibility.
This is insanely inefficient as a way to store energy for any use except low-grade heat.
The sand is really hot. Hundreds of degrees C. While the thermal battery in Finland is presently used for district heating, it absolutely can supply high-grade heat or steam for industrial purposes. Presumably you could use the steam to generate electricity too, but if it's electricity you want, you're probably better to charge a big battery or pump some water up a hill. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iflscience.com%2Fthe...

As usual, the Betoota Advocate is pretty insightful: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.betootaadvocate.co...
As for the speed issue, you are dead right. Isaac Newton told us that kinetic energy goes up with the square of velocity.
Around here (Canberra) the kids aren't too bad. They do plenty of burnouts and sick jumps but they give the pedestrians, "normal" bike riders and toddlers plenty of space. If they stray onto grown-up roads the police and courts tend to stomp them pretty hard.
To be fair, the
There was some editing (Which probably did improve my submission) but there was definitely a link in my original submission. When you submit to Slashdot there's a big box to paste the link into! I assumed the link would be displayed with the story... or, if not, that the human editor would drop it in there with all their other changes.
Next time I submit a story I'll make sure to stuff some link(s) into the main text of the submission too.
The smart ones should be using Signal.
The original is only two stories down on the same page . .
For now.
Not every business can grow all the time. Sony can churn out more PS5s, but the supply is already enough to meet demand. What should they do with increased productivity?
The traditional answer is, they should lower the price which will therefore make the device affordable to more customers, so sales go up. More customers means more demand for games, and more games means more licensing revenue for Sony, on top of those increased PS5 sales.
