It's disingenuous to say rural areas are too poor to install public transportation. It's that there's too much to install (too much space) for any given user. Just economics of rural areas. It doesn't make sense unless we can significantly reduce the capital investment and running costs of public transport.

Hard disagree. People are far more cunning and twist the news more than an AI ever could. AI would in most cases remove bias and improve understanding among their audience. Case in point: current.report

Important article. Why is it posted on fediverse

Yeah probably not what you're looking for but Out There on Android is a sleeper. Think The Martian (yeah the novel) mixed with No Man's Sky. Some free and open elements with a journal-driven story progression. Difficult as well.

First of all, best user icon. Saw it before, commenting on it now

Second, the intent of supercaps shouldn't be range but batter loading. The limit of regenerative braking is not in the torque of the motor but what you need to do to transform the generated current into chemical energy in a battery. It's not as simple as passing the current through a capacitor, but with supercaps it is. So with the supercaps you can dump extreme currents and either use the energy for taking off or redirect it to the battery.

I demonstrated this in my senior design project at uni and it worked well. Didn't have a load I couldn't absorb with a bunch of the caps. The issue was they're very low voltage, so similar to the li-ion cells you need a lot of them in series to match the system voltage.

Windy is it. Great initial view of favorites for the quick check and beautiful visualizations, but man does it get deep if you want to double click.

For instance, a few weeks back I wanted to see why the sun looked orange and the sky was pale at ~3pm, so I pulled up the particulates map. I could see a 6hr moving map of particulates making their way from Alberta CA over to the skies to my west.

Also, they show a breakdown of all the major weather service providers' forecasts and detail which are better in which situations, helping you understand if that forecast you're planning on is really going to happen or it's just wishful thinking.

Oh, and you can set up alerts to notify you days ahead of time if conditions are right for activities, like if it's cool enough and good enough air quality to go for a run or if the wave swells will be high for surfing or what have you.

Heh, I feel like I was more active on Reddit during family gatherings...

Nice to see the Fediverse hasn't lost that certain charm

I find most commentary reads as though people were expecting GTA from CDPR, which is completely unfair. I don't see a lot of "this doesn't play like Skyrim" from TW3 commentary, and there's a lot in common with those comparisons: CDPR titles are more story-driven, less freedom in their protagonist's character and role, and far less "life" outside the main path (ie, townsfolk and little finds along the way).

E: I think it played less buggy on launch than Skyrim, too. PC

 

Server usage isn't free. I didn't see anything in the 2023 Roadmap, but it'd be great to be able to throw a monthly thanks for hitting the site a few times a day or for feature updates. It's the most sustainable way to keep this thing going. I know I'm not alone

Damn you're on a tear. You're a 1%er for determination. I wouldn't dream of holding any full time job much less SW Eng'g (?) while taking chem classes, much less actually getting in any exercise.
