It's not just about the rate. Charging at night happens because the car is conveniently parked at home doing nothing and EV owners want a car ready to go in the morning. Charging at EV station during the day is time consuming and is of

As a native anglophone, you have the required legitimacy, there should be no stigma. I'm not surprised you didn't even have a clue as there is no reason anybody would ever make fun of you.

There is no stigma for anglophones to be called Kevin. Only french "Kevins" carry the stigma mostly because, as stated in the article, it carries a strong signal of having a lower social-economic background. Kevin carry that signa

Indeed. A difference I see between the GPT-like language models and those image generation models is that it feels like the language models actually hold full copies of a lot of sample of the training dataset (hence their ability to recite

True, ideally we incentivize elimination of all carbon emissions. Still, even for concrete production close to half the emission is due to fuel burning, so taxing fossil fuel would have a large impact as it is easy to measure and implement.

I don't think I missed the point. I was replying to the parent comment. And as I wrote a carbon tax on raw fossil fuel would also be a great way to fund such carbon removal projects.

On a personal level, it would be pretty easy to deal with such a tax: I can think of only 2 use-case for normal people to buy fossil fuels directly: to power ICE and to heat their home. Programs to help people migrate away from using ICE an

I think there a comparatively simple measure that would work just as well: just price the externality of using fossil fuels directly by introducing a carbon tax at the source, that is levied by the fossil fuels companies and baked in the ra

Putin had promised harsh repercussions if Crimea was attacked. Russia cannot blame Ukraine without retaliating somehow. It's likely Russia is simply now unable to do any more than what they are currently doing so they prefer blaming th

It looks similar to the Methuselah Mouse Prize that used to be offered by the Methuselah Foundation. I don't know if those low prize amounts have really an effect on research interest. They should rather set a prize over a million usd

It does not make sense to have a fixed salary decided upfront for a position. Candidates profiles rarely exactly match the job description. You might decide to take a risk on a promising junior candidates or decide for a more experienced ca

For this to be even remotely possible, the infotainment unit would have to have direct access to the CAN bus which is certainly not the case (at least I hope). Most probably, the car expose some feature through an API to the infotainment un

It can fly at an altitude of 76100 feet which is not far from the altitude at which spy planes like the SR-71 were flying. With its small size, I wonder how detectable it would be flying over a hostile zone. Given that they seem to have tro

That's probably a US-specific challenge. Unprotected left turns are much rarer in Europe due to widespread use of roundabouts which are probably much easier to handle for both humans and software.

I'm in the same boat. I was a big fan after many years happily using a monochrome HL-5250DN networked laser printer. It was just great: the printer was cheap, it printed well and fast, the cartridges were dirt cheap and lasted forever

Given the cost of the infrastructure needed to run those large language models, it's very likely that Microsoft is still operating copilot at a loss. I don't see an issue with it being a paid service as it is a costly service to p

Even if the model was FOSS, the infrastructure needed to run it would be costly. Given the cost of single GPT-3 codex query, it's very likely that Microsoft/Github is still taking a huge operating loss at 10USD per month.

I guess that makes sense. It's mostly useful when working on mundane tasks on popular stacks. Experts working on non-trivial use-cases won't see much benefits. Personally, I'm not a in a coding position anymore and only code

I totally agree. If you code professionally in a stack where copilot perform well, 10 usd/month is a steal. Assuming you are just 5% more productive with copilot, that would easily translate into hundreds of dollars of savings. It&#x27
