Are they trying to make viable EV pit stops for racing?
I guess this would make ridiculously sized batteries for semis viable. Though I’d rather pivot back to freight trains than put that much weight on our roads.
Semis are responsible for most of the road repair budget in the US. There’s a cheaper way. (If the government didn’t pick up the tab for all this semi road damage.)

There is no effective way to ban a person. As long as that remains true, moderation tools don’t really matter.
Israel alone is putting $760 million into propaganda. Lemmy may not be big, but it’s worth 0.2% of that budget.
And that’s just Israel.
The hopium is that with Biden’s 30% federal rebate from the Inflation Reduction Act I was able to install a full large personal solar setup last year, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made.
Details in this post. https://lemmy.world/post/32326227
There are many places/people with higher energy costs and/or lower labor costs should be jumping on solar immediately, just for the financial and reliability reasons, not counting the environmental reasons (that so few care to put money into).
If the US still had the 30% credit, I’d be shouting from the rooftops for anyone who will live in their place for the next ten years to be jumping on this.
Battery tech coming along really helps too. If the batteries get just a bit better, than everyone with money should be running solar. The grid is for poors. Why wouldn’t you be independent if you could?
We’re really close, and if the governments wanted to push it again, we could speed it up massively.
How is that solar ocean freighter doing?
It’s a huge undertaking, but if the political will was there we could massively reduce carbon emissions. The tech is close enough.
No. We’re still putting more CO2 into the air than we did last year. And we set that record every year.
It’s great that solar is growing faster than expected, but that just puts a dent in this chart for now.
Even if we went to zero CO2 emissions tomorrow, I don’t know that our problem would be fully solved. Though it’d be great to stop making it worse.
You should assume everything you post here is being used to train LLMs. It doesn’t take an admin to do so. It takes anyonr who feels like looking. And there’s already evidence that we’re being scraped.
Then you’re waiting forever on vulnerability patches. Especially if there are layers, and each layer waits to update.
Larger standard libraries do a lot. It’s a lot harder to sneak vulnerabilities into the basic C# or Java or C++ libraries than it is to add a vulnerability to something one dude maintains in the javascript ecosystem.
And since javascript libraries tend to be so small and focused, it’s become standard practice for even other libraries to pull in as many of those as they want.
And it stacks. Your libraries pull in other libraries which can pull in their own libraries. I had a project recently where I had maybe a dozen direct dependencies and they ended up pulling in 1,311 total libraries, largely all maintained by different people.
In a more sane ecosystem like C#, all the basics like string manipulation, email, or logging have libraries provided by Microsoft that have oversight when they’re changed. There can be better, third-party libraries for these things (log4net is pretty great), but they have to compete with their reputation and value over the standard library, which tends to be a high bar. And libraries made on top of that system are generally pulling all those same, certified standard libraries. So you pull in 3 libraries and only one of those pulls in another third party single library. And you end up with 4 total third party libraries.
Javascript just doesn’t really have a certified standard library.
(This certified standard library doesn’t have to be proprietary. Microsoft has made C# open source, and Linus Torvalds with the Linux Kernel Organization holds ultimate responsibility for the Linux kernel.)
Here’s hoping this comes to the US. I’ve already had one ICCU failure. Now there’s worry that it can happen at any time.
I’d like my new car to be more reliable than a fifteen year old ICE car.

Yeah, I don’t know that the writing clears the bar to achieve subpar.
Better than Starfleet Academy? The only redeeming thing about that show was Paul Giamatti. Mostly a teen drama.
Yeah, I don’t plan to leave in two years, so I’m motivated to not say “oh fuck” when I have to maintain the thing I built later.
Plus, you know, I don’t want people to groan when they have to work on my code.
It’s almost like there should be a human in the loop to guide and review what the ai is doing.
The thing works a lot better when I give it smaller chunks of work that I know are possible. Works best when I know how to implement it myself and it just saves me from looking up all the syntax.
People have trouble with the middle ground. AI is useful in coding. It’s not a full replacement. That should be fine, except you’ve got the ai techbros and CEOs on one end thinking it will replace all labor, and the you’ve got the backlash to that on the other end that want to constantly talk about how useless it is.
Why can’t GM make cars this cheap? We’ve gotta kill the damn unions that prevented this from happening here.
That’s the part I get, but what does having the corporate spyware running 24/7 accomplish? What kind of telemetry would they even get out of that other than ip/location, which isn’t all that interesting.
Can you explain this disabling sleep mode thing? What does having the thing awake while it’s closed even accomplish?
Same on all counts. They paid for the tow and the repair.
They did leave my 12v battery completely drained for a week in winter though, and then wouldn’t replace it. So I expect that battery won’t make it the normal 7 years before it needs to be replaced.
Did the whole solar + EV setup a year ago, and it’s been great. Even producing a little less than I expected, with the rising bills the breakeven date might hit under 10 years even though I originally expected 13.
It’s a diverse investment that’s extremely safe. If you can even get near neutral on the financial side, the security and convenience benefits are great.
Cool. Where can I buy one?
