Is google play required for the app to function, or would sideloading the apk from a mirror site work?

I use sync, but I think they still should be FOSS, or at least open source. Just because when anything gets left behind or never fixed, you can take it and patch it up yourself. That includes clients too, lots of good clients that get left behind because Dev stopped and whatever they were interfacing with changed.

Also not a researcher, but I also believe hallucinations are simply the artifact of being able generate responses that aren’t pure reproduction of training data. Aka, the generalization we want. The problem is we have something that generalize without the ability to judge what it thinks of.

It will in my opinion never go away, but I’m sure it can be improved significantly.

Doesn’t seem completely impossible with the estimated storage capacity, but like with all of these things, drastically changing the build up of concrete means changing the properties of the very thing used to hold your home together.

It might be cheap materials, but the effort involved also seem very high having to cut up after the hardening to create the super capacitors. Which again may affect structural integrity.

They could make it paid only today, and it’d be instantly profitable. Most free users would transition to a free alternative, but the corporate world would easily pay for use. So would some power users. But I’m sure they are making good money with all the API use anyways, the free access is a cheap way to get mass testing and training data.

I’d expect a “Ultra-tier” fast charging station to have internal batteries (or perhaps supercapacitors or something like that) which buffer up from the grid. Eg. when not in use and over-night. Probably won’t last much into a day even with that, but we may see smaller buildings connected to charging stations that hold internal batteries to deliver faster charging than the connected grid can deliver.

As long as there is demand and profit to be made, it could happen. The biggest cost is of course the batteries, but if solid-state batteries turn into reality I think things might be more cost effective. Especially since fixed position batteries aren’t subject to the same contraints as car batteries. Don’t need to handle vibration, weight is not a big problem. Key goals are lifetime value, energy density + and (dis)charging rates.

Cheaper electricity during night might not be a thing everywhere or in the future, but small savings by stocking up cheaper during nighttime, gives better margins.

I’ve heard about it, definitely planning to use it if it does come around. But I’m not even sure if Lemmy is going to replace reddit for my “daily driving” yet. The dust hasn’t settled yet, there were so many things reddit did that I’m not sure what the future holds. Lemmy is the only option right now however.

It used to be Sync for Reddit, Tachiyomi (Manga reader), and Vivaldi (Web browser, formerly Chrome but I needed adblock)

Replacement for Sync is not found.
