- Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation 2 days ago:
Not sure it’s enough.
Airplane engines are about 35% efficient. Maybe you can push it upwards 50% with state of the art designs.
Fuel cells hits about 60-70%, state of the art can maybe hit 85% (and the electric engines can be efficient enough to be part of the error margin in this equation). Best case you’re halving wasted energy. That means you need AT LEAST half the energy density, or else you’re carrying more fuel mass for the same flight. Might be tolerable if it is at least cheaper, but you’re also adding stress and wear as you do.

It’s not so much Win32 though on Xbox, the biggest similarity is the x86 CPU and the shared kernel and some security stuff

They’re probably building off Windows RT (the locked down variant designed for ARM tablets).
If they were smart they’d imitate some of how SteamOS runs games in a modified WinRT environment - TLDR do NOT start up the entire Win32 runtime and desktop environment by default, don’t run stuff like printer services and whatnot, just run a simplified sandbox and window manager with just the APIs needed to run the games similar to Proton. Then let the user switch to desktop mode as needed, but don’t run it when gaming.

That says more about you.
There are a lot of cases where you can not know if it worked unless you have expertise.

Bad joke
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 1 week ago:
Because if you don’t know how to tell when the AI succeeded, you can’t use it.
To know when it succeeded, you must know the topic.

Weirder in that it gets better at “photorealism” (textures, etc) but subjects might be nonsensical. Only teaching it how to avoid automated detection will not teach it to understand what scenes mean.
- Comment on *Doesn't look like anything to me.* 5 weeks ago:
Not necessarily, but errors would be less obvious or weirder since it would spend more time in training
