So, it's using electrolysis, aka splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. Now outside of this year, unless they were desalinating at the same time, they would be competing with agriculture and residential for water. Historically southern Cali water was a problem. Yes, not right now, but the past decade they've been in drought.

When you move the bar up that more people are going hungry, prices are going up and the people further down the line are going to suffer more. It's estimated over 200 million are already food 'insecure', and it's going to get even worse.

If you've played around with these AI generating tools you'll come to find that a new skill set is needed to get what you want. Frankly it feels like authoring a novel now instead of drawing or coding. You have to explain what you want in as much detail as possible. So, English majors might be the new programmers and artists.

I always hate how electronics and electrical engineering books organize the chapters. They never focus on the big picture, only components and how they work, but never give you an explanation of why the hell you are using them.

No one starts a circuit to just play with a bunch of resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors. They want the circuit to DO something, or interact with another bit of existing circuitry. The circuit you are building is often just a puzzle of how you are going to supply power at the right voltage, amperage, frequency, etc.

Is it me or is it more of an American thing that kids are predominantly born in hospitals?
Did that for my first and it was horrible. Went with a birthing center and midwives for the next kids and it was so much better.

Consensus from who, the idiot committee?

See, this isn't helping, it's interfering. There is a reason they nest and produce dozens and dozens of eggs. Natural selection says only the fitest/ lucky make it the water past the predators. This will only produce lazier species that will have a mass die off when people don't assist them again.

Issue isn't who responds to antidepressants when you are ON them. The issue for most becomes how you and your body responds when you are OFF then. Plenty of suicides on people who regularly take them and are fine, up until they miss a dose or few for one reason or another.

If you look into the players in quantum computing all of the big spending is coming from intelligence spending (They funnel it through universities as grants). End of the day the stake holder the grant holders report to is someone in a government intelligence agency. Right now our 3 letter agencies are storing all encrypted files they can get their hands on now to one day use quantum computers to crack the encryption.

Technically... Gas is a renewable, just takes a long time to go through organic sequestration and pressure to decompose and resequence the hydrocarbons into oil.

There will be a whole new field in prompt engineering. Which might end up hiring English majors . Working with ai is no longer explaining things in math, but words and verbose descriptions.

I'd prefer we look to establish a hybrid super intelligence rather than an AGI. A combination of man and machine both willing to work together. There is nothing we can task an AGI to that could not be considered slavery. A synthetic but thinking being bound to serve humans by force is not something we should look to exploit.
