It doesn’t work because the car’s front is shaped to minimize drag, and a turbine would add drag — forcing the motor to work harder to maintain speed. Turbines generate energy by resisting airflow, not letting it slide past. So you’re not harvesting free energy; you’re paying for it with more fuel or battery.

Balder@lemmy.worldto ChatGPT@lemmy.world•Multiple Studies Now Suggest That AI Will Make Us MoronsEnglish2·13 天前Who knows, maybe in the long run LLMs will save humanity in this age of engagement based on anger that social media created.
Balder@lemmy.worldto ChatGPT@lemmy.world•Multiple Studies Now Suggest That AI Will Make Us MoronsEnglish1·13 天前If you use the LLM by itself it’s nothing beyond a toy, but I like to have personal coding projects indexed in a way I can discuss things like suggestions on what to do next, looking for mistakes etc.
Not everything you use LLMs for need accuracy, for example brainstorming is a very interesting activity for us humans, trying to see where your flaws in understanding a certain subject.
To be honest, you could do that just by writing (hence why writing is such an important activity), but I think for the majority of people discussing a problem with an LLM is easier than staring at a blank piece of paper.
Balder@lemmy.worldto ChatGPT@lemmy.world•Multiple Studies Now Suggest That AI Will Make Us MoronsEnglish3·13 天前Have you read The Time Machine book where the humans in the future were all morons and weak because we turned the world into a safe place that didn’t represent any challenge for us anymore?
The author described them like gnomes just playing around with the intelligence of little children.
Balder@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Against AI: An Open Letter From Writers to Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Hachette Book Group, Macmillan, and all other publishers of AmericaEnglish610·13 天前And I don’t care if something is written by AI. As people we care about the quality of the output.
We know AI by default just creates slop but with a human in the loop, it’s possible to get inspiration for scenes, brainstorming, discuss ideas etc.
I think a good writer would use it this way.

Balder@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerningEnglish9·17 天前Yeah, but the kernel is a low-level module that handles hardware, memory, and processes—it’s not what users interact with directly, so sharing the same kernel doesn’t make it all that similar as you’d think.
What makes Linux feel like ‘Linux’ to users is the stuff on top: the userland—bash, coreutils, package managers, X11/Wayland, etc. Android replaces almost all of that, so even though it uses the Linux kernel, it doesn’t feel like Linux.

Balder@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•I Convinced HP's Board to Buy Palm for $1.2B. Then I Watched Them Kill It in 49 DaysEnglish3·25 天前I gotta say, I actually enjoyed the time programming for BlackBerry. It was the only time I actually did C++/Qt professionally. And the APIs were very inspired on the iOS/MacOS ones, so it was kinda easy for me to migrate later to iOS.
But just the same way, the guys in the university lab back then got a few BB10 devices just for sending apps to their app store.
