Definitely. The fact that they inject it into Google Search means that even fewer people who have never used ChatGPT or just used it as a "smarter" Google search will just directly try the search function. It is terrible for actua

>How is Sweden worse than Finland? As a Finn, rather than bore you with a 2846 bullet point list, I'd say that technologically not a lot, but we do have a lot more to lose, so it is easier to bargain with our industry compared to Sw

They'll perhaps never be faster due to weight limitations from the battery. Gasoline is just so light compared to batteries, and the car becomes lighter as the lap goes further and gasoline is used.

It's the KERS (kinetic energy recovery system). It's battery power that's collected from braking (perhaps some other additional sources) that can be released by the driver when they choose. Similar to F1 car systems in the ea

In this current geopolitical climate, this move is a disaster for anyone who does not fully trust the US or other nation-states with data surveillance.

That problem is solved, but unfortunately the bottleneck has been for the longest time the larger, more complex electrical equipment that is used to connect chargers to the grid. Companies like the Finland-based Kempower produce the best ch

1) In Finland most of the value is given out as dividends. We have a chronic underinvestment problem where large companies don’t have long term strategies so they dole out a comparatively large amount of value as dividends vs. re-investing

That's a nice way of explaining it. I also feel like some sort of LLM purist by being critical of features that serve only to pollute emails and comms with robotic text not written by an actual person. We will as societies have to come

This is exactly the conversation I had with a colleague of mine. They were excited about how LLMs can help people interact with data and visualize it nicely, but I just had to ask - with as little snark as possible - if this wasn't wha

It honestly truly looked like that from over here. Every penny the wealthy middle class earned would go to American stocks. No one was savung money by investing in the local stock market. Business news became more about American Big Tech an

This administration is the best thing that happened to the European Union nations when it comes to the economy. During the second half of the Biden years, the crazy bounce back the US economy did with regards to economic indicators (not the

The dollar is weakening because the US institutions are weakening. The EU might not be wealthy compared to the US, but at this moment in time it is more rational and future-proof than the volatile US business environment. The main reason th

The United States occupation of Iraq was like a trip to an amusement park compared to Gaza. Please don't compare the IDF to the US military. At least the US military and its soldiers had RoE that they respected. Any breaking of those r

When you have nukes, you can do anything. The next 10 years will literally change the future of this planet, because Israel turned nuclear deterrence into "right to attack anyone and not face consequences". It's straight out

This can also be offset by better traction control. EV engines respond to it much faster.

You are an anomaly. The overwhelming majority of EV drivers say their tyres last very long.

For as long as countries like Israel stand against giving Palestinians a legitimate state, militias and terror groups will continue to rise. The US showed that it was possible to fight an insurgency as an occupying force without resorting t

The term ”mowing the lawn”[1] has been used to describe their long term strategy, so I can ”excuse” someone for thinking that they can’t control the situation, but it’s been a tactic for a long time. HN readers can recognize the tactic in o

I made the error of emphasizing that I was thinking in a generalized manner of major nations with military tensions with shared borders. A lot of thought should be put towards if simple geography could make this cheap dispenable warfare mor

My point is that it is difficult to imagine another peer conflict in a similar geographical type reaching such a level that budgets should be diverted in a major way to develop these devices in the hope that they are some miracle weapon. La

I guess we live in different regions. Everything north of Estonia/Denmark is thick spruce and pine forest. I’ve seen what artillery does to these trees, but I’d be hesitant to say a drone could lift something heavy enough to serve like

I’m not saying it’s impossible to hit them, just that it’s more difficult than in the early days. Even fiber optics have cons like harder maneuverability, but the driveway attacks are probably in the category of ”loitering” drones that sit

Did you miss the part about signals jamming in the article? The reason the attack on airfields worked is precisely because they operate inland and not on the frontline. Cellular networks not only can be jammed but towers are a priority targ
