Not really. It’s not just the massively inefficient ICE drive train that makes large trucks dangerous and a poor fit for sharing roads with smaller cars or bikes. It’s also the ponderous size the lack of visibility and sheer weight. Cybertr

65-70% of all dwellings are single-family homes. So most will be eligible for EVs. I couldn’t actually believe it but I guess the default state of the vast majority of the country is sprawl.

These days with even off-peak being 40-80c / kWh the best way to charge EVs (which are mostly owned by homeowners) seems to be to bypass the grid and charge using rooftop solar during the middle of the day (or time shifted using batter

Honestly, I simply don't understand any reason to add any ingredients to peanut butter than peanuts and salt (and the 2nd is optional).

I really do hate this framing. It's not an "arms race". LLMs are just another tool in the tech stack. A new important one, but without the ability to reduce hallucinations or trace why the LLM chose the approach, the ascend

See, this is the thing - this propaganda is only meant as the "rationale" that goes along with the real bribe - campaign funding from the likes of AIPAC and DMfI. The funding is what secures these politicians' votes. The pro

I think the atrocious housing marking is definitely to blame here. I would love to move closer to work but I'm not giving up my 2% 15y fixed and the housing market is such that I don't feel comfortable financing a 2nd purchase (a

You need lots of muscle mass to be overweight. Losing weight means losing the muscle “scaffolding” also. Until I see proof that these drugs result in dramatically more muscle mass loss, I’m going to assume the argument is FUD.

This is a great example of why everything should be opt-in given the risk the individuals incur, not to mention the company. If society appropriately disincentivized data collection, we could even get to where companies don't see custo

You can migrate off Spotify right now with an app like Songshift - try out other music apps like Apple Music and see they work for your collection/playlists. I have both an Apple Music family plan as well as Spotify individual for seve

Yes, this is what Cartels do - and that behavior is generally illegal - but requires a government that cracks down on this. In China this level of crime gets you sent to re-education camps or just executed.

CA is essentially a one-party state with a sprinkling of GOP votes thrown in (not unlike Red states where it's flipped). They do everything they can to reduce the pool of alternatives so they can keep the power and grift going.

If Toyota were serious about apartment life, they would be doing like BYD and offering a series-hybrid with a lot more range (BYD offers 2k km, I think 1k km would be fantastic).

Your comment would make sense in, say, 2015. It's nearly 10 years later and Toyota has exactly one (not well regarded) EV in their roster. No, Toyota is all in for fossil fuels. Even hydrogen cells (while they burn clean) are only ge

> "Trickle-down economics" is not any kind of formal economic or political philosophy, it's a pejorative term designed to trivialise free market/laissez-faire economic policies. So much simping for neofeudalism. &quo

Completely unsurprised. Just consider the energy density of gasoline or a modern EV battery. The fact remains that a full EV battery can really take you a long ways.

Meet’s default audio noise cancellation is pathetic compared to Zoom. Initial Teams was also poor but has improved. My daughter’s school uses Zoom for her IEP where at least one attendee is remote that day. Not a fun experience.

Lots of weight loss programs use GLP-1 drugs like ozemipic to help people reduce weight and combine it with a diet and habit change program. I’ve met people who took ozempic for a year and in year 2 are not taking the drug but maintaining w
