  • That works great when there is moisture in the air, whwn there is moisture in the air, there is usually a better way of collecting it for less energy.

    You posted a solar still, a device which uses solar energy to distil water, an excellent solution to get water while on a desert island.

    It won’t nearly as well in dry climates

    Also, “zero energy use”?

    Are you high?

    Sunlight is still energy, it absolutely uses energy.


    Finally, the is a new adaption of an old tech that has been proven to not work as advertised time and time again, it is on the creators of the new tech to prove that it works, I don’t have to disprove this at all, that has been done time and time again.



  • From the first paragraph of the article:

    Even in desert conditions, there exists some level of humidity that, with the right material, can be soaked up and squeezed out to produce clean drinking water.

    In the dry dessert the amount if water in the air is so minuscule that it just doesn’t doesn’t make any sense to do this.

    Regarding the “clean” claim, you would get all the crap from the air in your water, also to preserve the water you would need to keep it chilled after boiling it, else you get sick, badly sick.









  • Just as a few months ago, when another AI/LLM destroyed another project in a similar way, this happened due the failure to classify AI/LLM risks properly.

    1. In both these instances the person treats the AI/LLM as a person capable of reason, it is not, remember what Isaac Asimov wrote about the robots in his universe, they are capable of extreme logic, but can’t deal with reason at all. The same applies here, the AI/LLM can absolutely be logical, but it can’t use reason.
    2. Failure to treat the AI/LLM as a potentially bad actor, the person looked at the AI/LLM, probably ran a few simple tests, then granted it full access to highly sensitive files. Since the software is quite good at chatting with humans like we chat with each other, it makes the developer think they and trust it as if it were a person.

  • Check both, if the game is available on both, then I will get it on Gog.

    If not, Steam it is!

    I have a few games I enjoy so much that I have bought them several times, including on both Steam and Gog.

    An example, back in 2004/2005 I bought Unreal Tournament 2004 on CDs, then when I found it on Steam a few years later, I bought it there as well as I wanted a modern installer, finally I found it on Gog without DRM yet another few years later and bought it there as well.

    I love that game and wanted the best installer for it, especially without DRM.

    Fun fact, Unreal Tournament 2004 has a native Linux version on the retail disks, you will find a bash install script in the root on one of the CDs
