  • Great use of tech and knowledge. Video-recording glasses wearers can't complain about this because they are sending the Bluetooth signals to be detected.

    We need to scale this idea up - apps to detect the known types of signals emitting from camera systems like Flock, Ring, and other similar mass surveillance garbage.

  • New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater

    Jump

  • Sounds like it came from that article about the new kind of sodium batteries with vanadium that are doing that desalination business. I was describing the general technology rather than that specific new one in the article.

  • Sodium-ion batteries are not hype though, they are in production use in multiple industries already. They are generally superior to Lithium based batteries in all regards, with the exception of having a bit lower energy density. An equivalent LiFePO4 battery might be 70-80% of the size for the same storage. It's not a big deal for large applications like cars and solar storage.

  • The voltage being sent down would have to be really high to avoid loss going through such a long and probably thin cable. Like the difference in voltage loss going through a 100' romex cable of 10-gauge wire with 12v DC vs 120v AC - you just can't do it with 12v DC because the loss is far too high, but it's no problem with 120v AC.

    Magnify those losses times 500 for your 5000' cable... maybe you need a 5000v line... then you have a dangerous high-voltage line flying around in the air. High-voltage transmission lines can arc to ground if they find a path, even though they're insulated wires.

    But I guess those guys probably know about that stuff too.

  • It's not that hard to comprehend both measurement systems. Both are valid and it's up to the author to choose how they want to express their figures. You can send them a complaint if you want, but complaining about their measurements here isn't going to change anything.

  • That's right, I forgot about that. It was 23.1 GB compressed for the "enwiki - pages-articles-multistream" version that includes pictures.

    Uncompressed and set up with XOWA viewer it's about 70 GB

  • No, the data itself is inherently valuable even when it's a little bit dated. We don't need daily updates to learn about historical events, methods of irrigation, 20th century election results, mineral composition of transistors and diodes, and millions of other well-documented topics. It's an incredible resource of collected knowledge with immense inherent value.

  • It's a good thing that lots of people have full backups of wikipedia.I saved a copy for myself at the start of 2025. It took about 23GB of space if I'm remembering right. Maybe I'll burn a blu-ray copy for long term storage

  • None of that stops me from exercising my rights. I don't ask permission. You shouldn't comply in advance either.
