@insl@tooting.ch @h0ldi@sueden.social @BlumeEvolution@digitalcourage.social Bekannterweise sind Prognosen schwierig, besonders wenn sie die Zukunft betreffen. Angeblich sind Landmaschinen schwierig zu elektrifizierten, weil die z.B. während der Ernte ein paar Tage lang non-stop fahren müssen, ohne Ladepausen (und den Rest des Jahres rumstehen). Aber angesichts des Preisverfalls von Batterien und den zu erwartenden Preisen von "regenerativen Kraftstoffen" glaube ich eher an Wechselakkus am Feldrand. Die den Rest des Jahres in der Scheune stehen und als Stationärspeicher Geld verdienen.

@rygorous Any technology discernible from magic is not sufficiently advanced.

@PetraPanda GaaS: Guillotine as a Service Or maybe GoD: Guillotine on Demand

@Unixbigot As of now it is unclear why the terrorists used a complex blend of hydrocarbons for the faked eggshell. The specific blend is structurally unstable, extremely soft at just mildly elevated temperatures and brittle at low temperatures. Also, it tripped the bio detectors, which triggered the investigation.

@fabos@der.cyberterror.ist @JenMsft@mastodon.social If a right angle is 90°, I would presume a left angle is 270°. So that definitively is a left angle.

Maybe the AI translation is good enough to get the basics.

@pentup When I first saw one of those during a dive, I thought someone must have dropped a big glass marble. At some point the number of lost marbles became somewhat hard to believe.

@eichin@mastodon.mit.edu @Unixbigot@aus.social The price.

@cstross@wandering.shop Did I just miss it, or didn't they explain the poopeller in the end?

@cstross@wandering.shop @rk@mastodon.well.com From my understanding, modern day Turning tests are adapted from the original "performative feminity" to "performative humanity". And it seems modern LLM are actually better at performative humanity than actual humans. As we now know, even that test doesn't actually measure anything beyond the ability to generate human-feeling text.

@rk@mastodon.well.com @cstross@wandering.shop Weirdly enough, ChatGPT-4o scored 73 % (statistically significant) in a Turing test. Humans are supposed to get about 50 % within statistical margins. "Less than human" computers should score below 50 %. And consistently did so in the past. WTF is 73 %? More than human?

@cunobaros You appear to be a member of the "Society for the Irregulation of Verbs" (German "Gesellschaft zur Stärkung der Verben", literally "Society for the Strengthening of Verbs").

@insl @bws @h0ldi @BlumeEvolution Naja, eigentlich ist die Rechnung einfach: Beim umwandeln von Strom in Sprit verliert man ungefähr die Hälfte der Energie. Und der Traktor wandelt auch nur ungefähr ein Drittel der Energie in Vortrieb (oder Antrieb) um. Am Ende hat man also 80 bis 90 % der Energie verloren. Batterien verlieren nur 5 bis 10 % durch Ladeverluste. Und das bedeutet schlicht und einfach, dass es 5 bis 10 Mal so teuer sein wird, einen Traktor mit synthetischen Kraftstoff zu betreiben, verglichen zu Batterien. Das wird sich kein Landwirt leisten können.

@Averixus@toot.wales I think your math is too simplified: The threat to be found out (and maybe fined) is what makes most people buy tickets in the first place. Without enforcement, (nearly) nobody would buy tickets. Therefore, if you really want to make that calculation, you have to compare the cost of enforcement to the fraction of tickets not bought without enforcement, i.e. all of them. Obviously, it would still be cheaper (and socially and environmentally beneficial) to fully subsidize public transport from taxes (ideally taxing the rich) and ditch the whole enforcement altogether.

@marcel@waldvogel.family @tris@namtao.com @dinandmentink@mastodon.online @pluralistic@mamot.fr @TechConnectify@mas.to I'm afraid this won't hold true for a lot panels produced in the last years. There are videos on YouTube of whole solar parks where the backing foil of the panels turned to dust after just a couple of years.
