14·2日前Aren’t EVs mostly a thing to save the car industry, and not really in the end all that good for the environment?
No that’s ICE talking points.
There’s obviously no comparison to be made with public transit, public transit kicks the ass of everything else in environmental friendliness. But it isn’t and won’t be an option in many cities and countries, so cars are here to stay for the medium future at least.
Given that we acknowledge the need for cars, what about the higher environmental impact of manufacturing them? Research shows that based on the cleanliness of the power sources the grid is using, it takes an average of 6 - 24 months for an EV to break even and start overtaking an ICE vehicle in (reduced) emissions. That’s not a long time in a car’s lifetime, and that’s not yet accounting for future economies of scale such as battery recycling that we don’t yet implement.
1·2日前Even the archived version is paywalled…
7·2日前The WLTP is pretty accurate to the actual range I get on my BYD.
Wouldn’t be the first time in history a dictator made no preparation for their own passing, or allowed any such plans to be made.
9·5日前Tldr, rehash of news from 2024 (clinical trials) with no update since. Slow news day I guess
I was referring to societal development, not genetics. Some hyperbole may also be involved.
‘Rape’ is a pretty meaningless term in this context, given that we were closer to monkeys than modern humans at the time.
2·8日前I know, but seeing as most of the content comes from the book…
6·8日前We’re not discussing ‘typical’ workloads (whatever that is), we’re discussing one specific person’s use case, and you’ve somehow decided you know better than him without any information
Pretty common practice in places that are humid or close to the equator.

I did! Most of the arguments against basically boil down to ‘make it harder for the average user to do this’. In addition to the unequal access to information, sites like lemvote demonstrate how easy it will be for the average user to bypass the imaginary technical barrier. Sure, you may block it now, but as the Threadiverse grows so will the number of sites and such that do so. Even a browser extension ala RES. Even without the whack-a-mole issue, it’s only a matter of time before somebody sets up such an utility for public access with an obfuscated instance that can’t be easily blocked.
Security via obscurity🙄
51·11日前Attitudes like yours are why it’s never going to be the year of the Linux desktop…
12·12日前While the guy makes good technical points, he’s also high on his own copium.
The only generative media enthusiasts who will have success will be those who hire skilled production professionals, writers and actors, and even then they will need to show behind the scenes production workflows. Audiences want evidence of investment, hard work and talent.
6·13日前So not the American diplomats, then.
You dropped this: ‘/s’
Self driving is absolutely a thing. FULL self driving like what Tesla tries to bullshit about is a way off.
