I beg to differ. A few Dutch cities did exactly that. Here's a video with a great example of the city I live near: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9kql9bBNII Utrecht did something similar: https://www.youtu

Then you would have to make the case in such a way that car infrastructure costs reside with car users only, and not spread over tax payers who don't want to pay for your choices.

Or one can buy. This works very well for me (as a stand and a battery pack): https://freshnrebel.com/magnetic-wireless-powerbank-5000-mah... It does the MagSafe thing, but will also offer a charge through the USB-C port.

True, but the point is valid on its own.

It explicitly does not, politicians are exempt.

By that point they have already failed to protect you and at most someone will be by with a clipboard. I have had motorcycles stolen from me and reporting it was met with an automated response saying there is no capacity for any follow up.

Looks like OP still does that: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=superproton If we want to be charitable their previous website may have served as a template.

Seconded. Throwing a bunch of data into an LLM and calling the result financial analysis is one thing, the results being at all trustworthy and valuable is another. I’d like to see an independent piece of analysis compared to this bot’s out

The same SKU on a GPU can perform differently depending on how the manufacturer powers and cools it [0], and nVidia's naming shenanigans don't help either [1]. [0] https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/lapto

Ubuntu Touch was a little buggy on my FP4 and flashing Calyx back over it required some finagling with the sensor suite. It was pretty slow and the phone was hot to the touch, so I would agree it was not ready for prime time when I tested i

Silicon Valley is pro-money and nothing else. The don't be evil rhetoric worked well to get a foot in the door but as soon as there was ever any choice between values and cash, greenbacks won. Hell, the entire industry is trying its da

Maybe we should have written that on the Voyager Golden Record, although anyone capable of picking it up and deciphering it would have probably already avoided the scenario that doomed us.

I'm not comparing anything, I'm just saying a solar solution doesn't have to be discounted because of my OP's incredulity about deployment characteristics. No need for hostility.

If you ship in a stack of panels, inverters and cables, sure. But maybe you could be a little smarter about it, like a container with all the electronics (inverters, batteries, management) and a bunch of folded, pre-cabled panels that you c

Normal intelligence isn't even in sight. Sure, LLM's do some useful stuff but they can't be described as intelligent. Zuckerberg and all the other SV overlords continue to pretend they're at the bottom floor of a growth

I agree with this. The comparison is one tool versus another and the way you would naturally apply them figures into that equation. There's a million apples-to-apples pixel peeping technical tallies, this compares experiences as a whol

That may remain true, but at some point the downside of Windows will become large enough that what was once a lateral move will become a step up.

I would also like to joke that you’re describing Linux, but there’s a great tool by Chris Titus, the YouTuber: https://christitus.com/windows-tool/ It has worked well for me on a gaming system that does not contain sen

True, but it does force citizens into a contract with either Apple or Google. I don’t think that is a good idea both from the perspective of individual freedom and national sovereignty.

That's fair enough, but then again, we're all boned if that happens so you might as well enjoy the fruits of FIRE until the bang. I wouldn't build up to it starting today though.

That depends on your expenses, obviously, but if you're serious you should check out the FIRE movement. There's viable strategies even for lower incomes.

I agree with you, but surviving is worth more than almost any amount of money and that fact doesn't depend on the median voter's opinion.

If they were ruthlessly optimizing they wouldn't be jumping on the AI train at the scale they do, and then they wouldn't need those DC's in the first place.

That's a steal compared to racing toward extinction.

I think this is a great insight. Also, from a personal perspective, one of the problems I regularly experience as a consumer of goods is that it is very difficult for me to judge quality, meaning I can explicitly not intuit value. For examp

They said they're not bothered by it as it's difficult to find software that doesn't spy on you. I interpret that as 'I am not bothered by this because there are no alternatives'. So there is a non sequitur.

>It’s good to bring awareness about the tracking but I’m not so bothered by it, as its hard to find software that doesn’t track you these days That's a non-sequitur. Just because it's common does not mean it's okay.
