Holy moly, I just applied the principles to DND campaign creation and I am in awe.

"Civic institutions—the rule of law, universities, and a free press" All of those are rotten and corrupted to the core. But I don't think they will be destroyed by AI. People are voting with their feet.

To charge the average Tesla in 5 minutes you need about 1MW and cables as thick as a forearm.

1 MW chargers don't look any bigger than standard chargers.

The thickness of the cables is often due to their water cooling. Transferring 1 MW at 99.9% efficiency means 1kW escaping as heat.

That's about the same as a hair dryer. Maybe I can save time by charging my car and setting my 'do simultaneously.

that depends. transferring 1 MW at 1 MV produces very little heat

1 megavolt means huuuge spark gaps, I'd say no less than 20", given dry air. This also means very thick insulation, very bulky and expensive switches and breakers, etc.

Tesla 3MW charger uses 1250V DC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megawatt_Charging_System

Liquid-cooled charging cables are a thing. too; one of many: https://www.mouser.com/new/phoenix-contact/phoenix-contact-5...

Yes, but a car can't use electricity at 1 MV and converting the megawatt back to something lower than 1 MV still produces a lot of heat.

Vehicle battery packs are 400-800V today; not 1MV.

My experience is: If you are good at something, you will do it for ever. Be good - or get good - at things that you value.

So of those 2k calories the average human body needs to sustain itself, only a fraction of it, or none at all, is needed to perform many hours of physical labor. This means physical labor done by humans is cheap or free.

Reading headlines like this my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

The article is fine, but the image implementation on this website did dampen the experience somewhat.

The scroll-jacking images are disorienting. Kind of reminds me of some of the more egregious scrolly-telling visualizations.

I couldnt figure out how to scroll them the first time around
