Depends on how it's done I think: breaking stuff vs sitting on it. And sitting on a highway is also quite visibly claiming the action, that is not clear in this case. If this is XR, would be very dumb and against their message.

More akin to the German verb 'reden' I think: talk. It's a talk from the throne.

That we don;'t understand it is not an excuse, it's all the more reason to not let these things roam freely, with this amount of potential to do damage.

My electricity contract in the Netherlands here is on a "Dynamisch tarief", with the most direct translation being "Dynamic tariff". It means I pay/get a different price for my power every 15 minutes. "Tarief&q

Because it's cheap and easy. Hold for many such questions... Why is all of the world dependent on tech an ever more hostile US? Same answer.

Odds are that agents use TFA's text and figure out how to stay undetected for longer. That'll be interesting I suppose, to say the least.

Being dependent on (cheap) oil can make economic sense as well. Unless you get cut off all of a sudden. Depending on local energy might make more sense in the long term. also for factor other than the economy.

Fair enough. My comment was however asking about the difference in climate damage from local vs cloud inference, is either better in that specific regard. Or even the energy usage between the two. As for ethics, i don't see a meaningfu

I read the article, but still, how can anyone making such a mistake be deemed sane enough to still be allowed to drive a car? Alas, I'm far from 85, hard to imagine making that kind of error.

How does pone drive 20 hours in the wrong direction, when trying to go to an appointment 19km away? What must go wrong when you are allowed to drive and not realize that mistake after at most an hour or so?

Same amount of humans means no cost savings. More science is hard to value, while less salaries paid is easy to value.

Ah, thanks, had to be something like that indeed. Had a hard time imagining putting work into an ICE and getting anything useful out.

I don't see why that would be the case. Why is the 20% of eg. an internal combustion engine coupled to the 500% COP of a heat pump? I see a vague connection as an ICE also uses expanding gasses etc, but that's about it. What am I

True. For residential heating, heat pumps make for a similar ratio as they make 3-5 units of hear for 1 unit of electric energy, depending on conditions. The challenge in heating is industrial heat, which is much hotter. Can't do that

When looking at hat kind of graphs, it's good to keep in mind that burning hydrocarbons is relatively inefficient: only ~20-30% of the energy in the fuel turns into useful work, while electricity is much, much more efficient. So, we ne

Yes, they have assets: GPUs sitting in datacenters, and data. Question is: is that worth enough to cover the debt after the market crashed?

I would have thought this would be about electricians and carpenters with camera's on their heads to train AI. Apparently not yet. Imagine robots (humanoids or something more specialized) building datacenters...
