Probably the most significant one was Gore vs Bush, as Bush's victory probably led to the war in Iraq and the impending global climate disaster.

The best one to play with is chat gpt's paid subscription, but some excellent free voice ai are Google Gemini, meta's WhatsApp ai chat, hume.ai, and chat gpt's free voice chat.

Playing hangman or 20 questions with friends and a voice ai is objectively hilarious. None of them can really do it properly

That's actually a pretty neat looking peice of kit, if over engineered. One of the issues is it relies on you seeing, sighting, and firing at the drone, which tbh if you're already doing that perhaps you were 90% to shooting it down with conventional weapons.

What a gd shame we killed these poor birds off.

Something which clarified Zuck's behavior in my mind was an interview where he said something along the lines of, "I could sell meta for x amount of dollars, but then I'd just start another company anyways, so I might as well not."

The guy isn't doing what financially makes sense. He's Uber rich and working on whatever projects he thinks are cool. I wish Zuck would stop sucking in all his other ways, but he just doesn't care about whether his ideas are going to succeed or not.

Sorry, I was tired when I posted that.

They reduced the batteries needed for an existing system by improving the control module and pump motors to more rapidly adjust to sunlight variation. It's good, but more of an iterative improvement.

Also... It's not a novel solution, and tbh it's a little unclear if it's an actual improvement at all.

For example, looking at the pictures it seems to be maybe a 1500 watt solar system. Such a system might need a $500 mppt charger and a $600 48v, 50amp battery. Their system still needs the charger and a battery of some sort. So, how do thier equipment cost compare to the old system? They don't really make that clear at all. Also, their efficiency metrics don't really make sense to me. It'd be nice if they'd produce a figure like gallon per watt between two comparable systems running under identical conditions on location.

Anyway, the whole think feels a bit self aggrandizing.
