Technology
News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangents
Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.
7. Instance rules may apply
If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

This is an incorrect translation of the original sentence: Nous pouvons injecter ou absorber en quelques millisecondes jusqu'à 1,2 gigawatt d’électricité, soit l’équivalent de la puissance de la centrale nucléaire de Leibstadt."
Care to offer a correct translation?
It's just about 1.2 GW of power
Sure, a random translation site gives "We can inject or absorb up to 1.2 gigawatts of electricity in milliseconds, the equivalent of the power of the nucleus plan", one assumes nucleus plan goes to nuclear plant.
It's the use of 1.2 GW in milliseconds that is at question as it's close to physically impossible and would impress the guys who made CERN.
Still super cool if it's actually just 1.2GWh in a pit (with a reasonable lack of toxicity), personally happy to call it a win with some overzealous reporting / marketing and forget about the whole milliseconds bit.
What’s a common timeframe for a utility-scale battery storage to start providing power? I heard that this type is the best in responsiveness, though I don’t have the exact numbers. A quick search shows me numbers up to 50 milliseconds though.
The phrasing in French suggests they can start injecting that power in millisecond and they have 1.2GW/h capacity
Ah, now it makes sense. Thanks.
Whew okay, I rescind my snake oil comment, but I do question anyone building a system this size who doesnt splurge for the extra 1% capacity to reach 1.21 jiggawatts!
@88mph we have some fun!
