I feel like this is one of those calls that get so repeatedly people get numbed.

Something along the lines of climate change, economic crisis, etc.

They are all true, but people are passivated.

For real though; GET THE DAMN LINUX. SPIN IT UP IN A VM. TRY THE LIVE VERSION. DUAL BOOT IT WITH WINDOWS. YOU LOSE NOTHING, WINDOWS IS STILL THERE. JUST TRY IT FOR ONCE.

It is painful to see people struggle with things that are easily solved.

Yes, it works perfectly well without Internet. Tried it both on physically disconnected PC and laptop in airplane mode.

Alright, that's fair on your part. Still, thus needs to be taken into account, as the real competition is not with the battery planes (we know they suck), but with combustion jets.

It takes energy to produce fuel. So what?

The point is, the efficiency of the entire process is much smaller compared to battery. Some estimates say that between electrolysis, transportation and fuel cell conversion it's almost twice as bad in terms of energy efficiency, so you ultimately need double the energy for the same thing.

Sure, the math on planes is somewhat different as you need to account for battery weight. But really, it might still be more efficient to cram those batteries in. And as we know, it is still too bad to be usable.

There is already GPT4All.

Convenient graphical interface, any model you like (for Llama fans - of course it's there), fully local, easy to opt in or out of data collection, and no fuss to install - it's just a Linux/Windows/MacOS app.

For Linux folks, it is also available as flatpak for your convenience.

How long before AI interviewer accepts AI employee?

I fancy you don't have to release it in the air and can land with it.

And then you get free soda!

Is it really cheaper and more practical to produce sodium vs hydrogen?

The typical issue with fuel cells is not energy density, it is the fact that you need to waste a lot of energy to regenerate and transport the fuel.

For example, if you take a classic hydrogen option, you can either get it from natural gas (which is not sustainable/eco-friendly) or from water (which is fully sustainable as you get a closed cycle, but comes with additional energy losses on electrolysis, transportation and usage).

Similarly, here with sodium you either have to produce it over and over from salt, or you'll have to regenerate soda, with the first option being wasteful and the second too energy-demanding and complicated.

So, overall, you'll need to spend much more energy (= both recurring and upfront costs) compared to running battery-powered transportation if you want to make it a close cycle similar to batteries.

Puck, diefucker!

This one answer is serious and true, just heads up.

Honestly, many of them you know full well, but that's because yes, they are that good:

  • Minecraft
  • TES III Morrowind and TES V Skyrim
  • The Witcher 1 and 3
  • Deus Ex Human Revolution and Mankind Divided
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Dishonored 1 and 2
  • Warcraft III and World of Warcraft

Completely deserve their legendary status
