Yes, quantum entanglement occurs without the speed of light, but we famously cannot interpret information from it faster than the speed of light - it isn’t FTL communication.

htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Tim Cook is “not 100 percent” sure Apple can stop AI hallucinationsEnglish720·1 year agoThat’s also pretty true for people, unfortunately. People are deeply incapable of differentiating fact from fiction.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Is This the End of Plastic? Visa's New Technology Could Replace Physical CardsEnglish11·1 year agoIt is definitely picking up very quickly currently. Far more common in the last couple years than before.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Is This the End of Plastic? Visa's New Technology Could Replace Physical CardsEnglish1·1 year agoI can put my credit card number in any transaction directly, and so can anyone else. Digital payment can provide a random one time card number (at the expense of privacy, admittedly). Physical cards are absolutely not safer.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US productionEnglish1·1 year ago… Sodium Ion are already being sold in EVs.
htrayl@lemmy.worldtoRealTesla@lemmy.world•Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deathsEnglish12·1 year agoTesla Autopilot is an automaton. When you put it inside of its failing conditions, it will fail 100% of the time. Like a machine.
So are people. People are laughably bad at driving. Completely terrible. We fail under regular and expected conditions all the time. The question, is whether the automated driving system (Tesla or not) does it better than people.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Signal and Threema want nothing to do with WhatsAppEnglish214·1 year agoExcept most people are not going to tolerate having a multiplicity of apps, and if people in your circle don’t already use signal, they definitely won’t now. Whereas previously, I was getting pretty decent traction from people slowly adding it.
Homes have increased their size by 300%+ since 1950 and the cost per square foot has remained relatively constant. We simply don’t build enough smaller homes - they only exist on fringe and in urban centers where there the property costs increase the overall cost.
Edit: Also our overreliance on cars has only skyrocketed. More cars per household, more miles driven. When you are required to spend 20-30% of your income on a vehicle, homeownership gets harder.

htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Solar power and storage prices have dropped almost 90%English67·2 years agoBatteries definitely do not cost the same.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Solar power and storage prices have dropped almost 90%English8·2 years agoThey are not rare. It is the fastest growing energy production mode and is growing faster every year.
Residential installations lag behind the commercial due to installation costs, but they are blowing up as well. I can walk around my neighborhood and see a couple dozen homes with it.
It’s also highly regional. The further south in the northern hemisphere the more common.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The US just invested more than $1 billion into carbon removal / The move represents a big step in the effort to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere—and slow down climate change.English1·2 years agoYou made a generalized statement about carbon capture, which is unfortunately absolutely a necessary step we need to take.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The US just invested more than $1 billion into carbon removal / The move represents a big step in the effort to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere—and slow down climate change.English6·2 years ago- Trees last hundreds of years
- Trees die at differing times
- Trees are replaced by new trees as they die
- Trees support additional plant biomass
Trees are not the solution. The forest is the solution.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The US just invested more than $1 billion into carbon removal / The move represents a big step in the effort to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere—and slow down climate change.English2·2 years ago… Which is more reason to invest in carbon capture.
htrayl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The US just invested more than $1 billion into carbon removal / The move represents a big step in the effort to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere—and slow down climate change.English7·2 years agoDirect carbon capture is a scam. Alternatives like biochar, enhanced basalt weathering, and reforesting are definitely not.
Tech has made things more efficient - the rewards of such are simply being funneled from the average person to the wealthy.
