Reply to New tech could bring affordable, hyper realistic screens with 1000+ Hz refresh rates by Sorin61
Holy crap, compatible with LCD production, silicon based, and crazy PPI with up to 1000Hz capability was amazing by itself (when it comes to new materials science).
The fact it’s also silicon based, power efficient, and could realistically be 5 years away is so cool!
There’s actually a chance my next tv could have this!

Not really, no. Unless you want to jump through a dozen hoops and deal with the ongoing headache of knowing a secret password that is coded in base64 then have knowledge of some obscure meme that only 3-4 people on a discord know about.
Just give it a few months until something decent comes out. But don't hold your breath either. I've been using tavern.ai with pygmalion. It's not great but I typically write both my prompt and the Ai anyway so it doesn't bother me much.
Ideally, OpenAi API + Tavern is the best solution currently, if you can get everything to play nicely.

I have 2 rooftops that would be prime for solar. Most my neighbors also have prime spots. Could easily be feeding the grid and have our own backups. Seems like an easy win

Maybe I just don't know that much about DeLorean, but this comparison seemed strange to me? They never made even 10,000 DeLoreans, right? They're making 2 million Teslas a year now. They've been the top-selling car of any kind in Norway for a couple years now. Last year the Model Y was the top selling car of any kind in California (second place was the Model 3). They've had almost four straight years of profitable quarters, and are profiting to the tune of over $3B a quarter now.
I mean there are plenty of gripes to have about the company and especially its CEO, but you can't say they're not selling tons of cars and making tons of money.

Is there currently anywhere on to roleplay nsfw or create a story with ai? Or have they all been neutered? Ai Dungeon was great until they changed their model.

No solar panel on the planet exceeds 33.6% efficiency, it's called the Shockley Quizer Effect.

The cat is already out of the bag with the Stable Diffusion part in all honesty, since earlier models are available to find. At this point it's just a way to save face that makes little difference for the available application of it really.

As someone who does just that and hope to see it take off, I assure you that’s not the case right now.

Probably has to do with developing cars/engines/batteries/manufacturing technologies around specific voltage/amperage, so it's not as easy as just wiring a different connector in.

It's all but guaranteed at this point. Tesla should have taken their head start and used it to learn how to make vehicles with all the same capacity for quality that established manufacturers do. Instead, they wasted time disrupting industry for disruption's sake.
Teslas aren't really price-competitive, not when the whole picture is measured. Shoddy manufacturing practices means lots of parts that need to be replaced inside warranty windows. For example, we had a Tesla come in for window tinting at work, and one of the door panels wasn't properly installed - no big deal, we pop those out and in all the time so we can do the customer a favor. Except we couldn't do this one, because when the door panel was installed properly the door wouldn't close.
We work on lots of new and luxury vehicles. Teslas are built shoddy. The Chevy Bolt starts at like $27k if you want an economy EV, the Hyundai Ioniq at $41k if you want middle-of-the-road quality, and the Cadillac Lyriq starts at $58k if you want luxury from a brand that actually understands luxury. Their truck appears like it will be beaten to market by most of the competition, and there's just so many options out there or in the pipe.
What is Tesla's niche? They remind me of where Netflix was a year ago: the first-mover of a guaranteed-to-be-standardized-in-the-future technology, riding high on nothing but the fact that their revenues are high. No forward strategy but to assume everything will continue to be awesome.

I think there are political issues but I don't think guarding the site is one of them. The site would need to be remote to avoid conflicting with existing land use, and short of using nukes, how much damage could anyone do to a facility spread out over half a million square kilometers?

They don't, but they do understand money, and interested parties like Google have lots of it. They've donated heavily to the federalist society and I'd be shocked if they didn't have money closer to the court given how many undisclosed conflicts of interest keep coming up.

The political situation is even worse than the efficiency loss. You need constant government and an army to protect such a facility.

I have a really hard time with the idea of more than maybe 500A sustained for any amount of time on that connector. Cite proof.

The Tesla connector can easily handle higher voltages. It's downfall is on the amperage side, due to smaller pins.

Elon has said if it were 100% solar it would take 100sq miles to power the US. I'm assuming battery storage was part of his assumption.
(regardless of your feelings on Elon, he is well educated in this department)
