All car manufacturers are subsidized especially gas car manufacturers who do not pay the costs of the relatively larger environmental damage they create. A Tesla without any rebate / tax credit still has cheaper TCO than a gas car cost

It’s a bs story though. The range numbers are estimates based on good conditions at 55mph, and people expect the range to not change when they have lead foot or other factors. Not a bug, not a scandal, just EV noobs who assume the worst whe

To the extent this also breaks or threatens the security of financial services, I’d like to see credit card brands and non-UK banks also pull out of UK. I know it may be dreaming but as a consumer outside of UK I don’t want to be saddled wi

Ideas don’t belong to anyone. I can think of a search-my-files idea just as well as anyone can, and Apple can do the same.

On the ChatGPT / Copilot angle of this story: I have unique code on github that solves a problem I have never seen solved anywhere else. I have searched extensively for other implementations and have not found any. As far as I can dete

Several others have said it too, but this comment is a perfect summary of what I was missing. Thank you. I do wish the terminology was used in a way that would induce everyone to reach the same understanding.

I can never understand why some bloom filter (or in this case IBLT) implementations insist on using multiple different independent hash functions. Just append a new salt to each input. For input ‘abc’ hashed say 8 times you simply construct

There will be no need for self driving cars in 10 years, because assuming we are still around, we will have car driving humanoid robots that drive our same cars. They will fit into our driver seat, be able to reach all the controls, and whe

Both can be true. In some cases the remote driver can drive it, in other cases it requires physical presence.

Human bias is a whole huge area apart from just quality, not sure we want to get into that. I mean is it human bias, or is it reality bias. e.g. Poland hasn't had any terrorist attacks (or very few?), is that human bias, or is it reali

If you see specific aspects of a chat reply where quality is bad, tell it. It will improve the answer. Iterating this you can get way beyond the quality of the first answer. You have full control over the quality but you have to bring somet

I don’t see that developers helped reddit become popular. It was already popular. When due to needing to balance the books you have to end what was indirectly but effectively a river of revenue, of course a few people are going to be upset.

We could just as well ask, why are you false flagging as someone who doesn't understand that it's making a point? That's what sarcasm does. An off topic and therefore unwelcome point, to be sure. But let's be real, you s
