If we used oil only for plastics it would probably last us 1000 years. By that time we'd figure out how to grow plastics.

You can use single use plastic bag 50 times or more before it deteriorates, not the thinnest kind, but the average one. They are incredibly strong. The dedicated mult-use ones are insanely strong, but also few times thicker and more unwield

So, slower and worse than Gemini 3.7 (high)? I don't get what the issue is. Chinese labs fully publish how they make great models. Architecture is known, training methods are often very open. Why Europe just can't copy what they d

I think by drawing this parallel you are simplifying too much. There are still horses. Probably more than would breed naturally in the wild. There's less horses now than there used to be because they were bread specifically for their e

Horses was not the last customer. People were. So unless AI starts to buy things from the business, people won't share the fate of horses ... oh, wait....

Of course not. You can borrow money if you prefer that. They don't force you to do anything except paying what you owe.

Yes. The power to not borrow money from the rich is something that government direly needs. As $39 trillion dollars of debt, that we all need to pay interest on, clearly shows.

BYD Han and BYD Tang are supposed to have that option soon, for $1200. Others might follow because a company that makes glass roofs figured out how to manufacture them with solar cells embedded. Supposedly 720 W peak.

The entire point of databases are indexes. Without indexes there is no point to keeping data in tables with rows and columns and having a special language (or even interface) for querying.
