everyone cheers the demise of coal, and it is certainly the dirties modern energy source, but this is clearly a dangerous direction until we have enough grid level energy storage. we pay insane amounts for electricity compared to the rest of the world and we think it's due to a greener future, but it really is just bad policy. look how hard it is to get virtual power plants approved in this country or politicians turning off nuclear power generators.

so much politics here. seems like a bunch of issues, including putting lower income people into wealthy neighborhoods, which is an explicit goal of many elected democrats, urban sprawl, which no one seems to worry about these days, housing shortages, which is a big issue. honestly I don't know why people are so focused on marcs opinions, he can afford to lose property value or leave, bit certainly he has every right to fight for his little suburban dream.

I think the bigger issue is that the cities were the future just a few years ago, and now that future isn't as certain.

this will not be the last time someone will make this claim. it is telling that the experts all weighed in declaring it not sentient without explaining what such a metric is. I think this debate an issue of semantics and is clouded by our own sense of importance. in car driving, they came up with a scale 1-5 to describe autonomous capabilities, perhaps they need to have something similar for the capabilities of chatbots. as a system administrator I have always acknowledged that computers have feelings. I get alerts whenever it feels pain.

One thing I don't see mentioned is that sourcehut users are taking the hit for hosting their code there. Some of it is because of natural tech activism and the coders need to create their desired order, but certainly there just typical bullying as well. Of course we're all just human, but I hope that retelling Drew's faults is not to justify any retaliation delivered to sourcehut users.

I consider drew a prolific coder who seems to be focused on all aspects relating to getting good code out of our brains. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he would come out with a new keyboard next.

multiple browsers are the way to go. I had all my eggs in the chrome basket until their login fiasco, but hit limitations with Firefox. I now configure Firefox and brave with the same extensions and use the both equally. using onetab makes it easy to migrate sessions from one browser to the next.

,if you look at the updated to the code of conduct it is clear what solution they are putting forward. the removed the sentence to honor the principle of charity(removed assume good intent), and gave permission to be public scolds ( added speak with good intent). it's a facisnating attribute of American politics that insist generally upbeat people become public scolds, as if them making a fuss is a convincing learning moment.

they should have some sort of hazard like flash when they are stopped for an obstruction like humans in the roadway. that would also reduce the rear end situation where they are unreasonably stopped in traffic due to crappy software.

anyone working with a people located in different regions knows how counterproductive daylight savings is. I've come to that it is inevitable that daylight savings will be eliminated, and the only thing keeping it around is the name implies that legislators have some supreme power over the sun. if we all agreed to cal it "useless time adjustment" i think it would go away quicker.

i do think that we should eliminate different time zones entirely. there isn't a sundial industry that we need to keep afloat. it would be simple and better for people interacting across wide longitudinal gaps. as a first step, i would suggest the united states selecting a single representative timezone, to make the adjustment simple, then just force the rest of the world to follow suit, using climate change as a reason or some such. we can also declare the new proper timezone as metric, to satisfy the europeans.

people say that delta is more contagious but they don't provide hard data to support that. any calculation of r naught is synthetic and there has been little effort to share such models. also, the idea that every new infection is delta isnt based on any randomized testing of samples, but some outdated surveys in the past.

Elon is willing to commit a lot of capital and effort into his ideas. the production capabilities of Tesla are improving at a significant clip, and incorporating many state of the art techniques. Elon's approach to innovation is a lot of hype, but there is a lot of hustle to it too. I think he would consider it a waste and not fun any other way.

I disagree. for example, a journalist could simply ask the CDC about page 20, in this leaked presentation here:. https://www.washingtonpost.com/context/cdc-breakthrough-infe...

where it uses metrics of ~20% effective in protecting masks wearers from catching the disease in a model.

instead, we have the media saying that rand is wrong, and CNN chasing doctors that dare say that masks don't prevent all spread.

the media has long decided that some facts are best not shared, but now they are complicit with a censorship regime where we all know that masks don't work 100%, but we also know that we will get punished for saying it out loud.

things that were called misinformation from CNN:

- masks don't always work - vaccines sometimes have side effects - you will most likely survive covid - vitamin c and d will help you fight covid.

from the article it says "Today, 6 media giants control a whopping 90% of what we read, watch, or listen to.". there is a heavy handed content moderation policy on all major social media platforms. it is a rare day when I don't see or hear of blocked suspended or banned content on social media.

it was neither, there was a process to fix the map but not wait for a perfect map before the grants could occur.

for example, if the media would report on the side effects of the vaccines, instead of pretending there are none, then there would be less room for falsehoods to spread. I've yet to see fauci asked one question about vaccine side effects.

of course I'd love to hear how you determine rush Limbaugh listeners to be uninformed, especially since 90% of his show was reading/playing and then responding to mainstream news articles.

you are arguing a fake hypothetical. Tesla accident data shows that their autopilot feature reduces accidents.

https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport

fortunately our regulators don't take a one size fits all approach for how new technologies can be developed

it is a bit scary to think we'd have to lobby government to allow any new invention to prove "safety". Tesla has indicated why it needs to enable these features in order to collect data to improve them, it has also shown that driving under autopilot are already reducing accidents (compared to without and national stats for all vehicles), and yet you call for a entire ban instead of thinking constructively. with the vision stack there will be improvements to the driver attentiveness checks. that would seem to mitigate abuse of the features, which is clearly meant to be supervised at all times by the operator.

it waste allowed to be discussed publicly. it was labeled a racist fringe debunked conspiracy theory, and that sent all the signals you needed to chill scientists from using their platforms and expertise to gain attention to this idea. for example, when the head of the CDC mentioned it during a hearing he was ridiculed. based on largely opinions published in the cause social media companies to limit and censor information, which Twitter and Facebook did, for example the whistleblower that appeared on tucker Carlson's show.

of course there were a few brave scientists that spoke the truth of the viability and likelihood of the lab leak hypothesis, but that only proves how severe the suppression of discussion was.

people let your political opinions dictate what discourse is acceptable and which is not. if one imagines that your political opponents "wished it to be true" and seem to think of even labelling the virus from china as some sort of wrong think then one can be happy to pick and choose whichever truth you want to accept. scientists both hear and abroad where able to dismiss that lab leak is not plausible, based on lack of evidence. but the same thing could be said for the wilderness human contact. fauci said based on history lab leak is unlikely, in spite of the fact that lab leaks had occurred in the past.

I personally have no doubt that China s messaging was to suppress support for the lab leak, and they have succeeding in avoid any pressure to come forward with the truth about the actives of that lab in Wuhan . I also think that there is an entire field on scientific study that needs much more regulation and discipline, and they have also avoided any significant scrutiny.

I will await the discussion from mainstream virologists on tv and in medical and scientific journals demanding transparency and reform. but I will not hold my breath.

that's not accurate at all. look at the misleading medical information definition from Google

"Misleading content related to harmful health practices: Misleading health or medical content that promotes or encourages others to engage in practices that may lead to serious physical or emotional harm to individuals, or serious public health harm."

not only do they use the term misleading to define the term misleading, they clearly state any information that could cause serious public health harm is misleading. when people are screaming about vaccine misinformation they are often talking about discussing side effects of the vaccine, which causes hesitancy and therefore harm. if pressed for an example, they will pick up an absurd claim like 5g caused covid, but not the typical claims that the covid vaccine has reportedly killed thousands and injuries many more than that.

the labels disinformation, misinformation, misleading, potentially harmful are very orwellian, as many can take them to mean false information, but in fact these labels can be placed on perfectly true statements that are simply dissenting.

the one thing I wanted to know "is aquired immunity from other strains effective against delta" isn't mentioned or discussed. perhaps the door knockers will have the answers I need.

if I was a teacher I would give an extra five points on any handwritten assignment, and an extra ten points if it is cursive.

of course anyone following the details of covid understands that contact tracing is useless with high cycle PCR testing, asymptomatic spread, and widespread infection rates. contact tracing has been shown to be ineffective and a waste of resources since it was tried in the very beginning. but govt continues to dump money and create regulations into this folly.

people can hate on tucker all day long, as they attacked rush and oreilly before him, but tucker brings up issues that resonate in red america. he does a pretty fair job, which is evidenced by how trivial the criticism against him is.

if people are confused about what red america thinks, they would be well served to look at Breitbart, tucker, and independent conservative outlets to see how they frame the discussion. I'm always amazed at how people on the left don't really see what the right is going on about.

the question I would ask is when a new virus caused a pandemic, would you want the medical/healthcare system to test existing drugs for suitability? if some drugs are know to treat various pathogens and have a well established safety record shouldn't we allow any doctor to experiment using their experience and informed consent?

waiting for a properly run study will cost lived especially when there are corporate and political interests controlling these tests.

it would have been easy to run dozens of prophylactic studies while this virus was running rampant. same for testing the dozens of clinical sourced protocols. instead the medical testing establishment shutdown and ignore all clinical protocols that were successful used, and put the message out so that medical journals, big tech, pharmacy boards, hospitals, suppressed more discussion and application of these protocols.

totally agree. while I'm optimistic that arm chips will be more open in the data center and embedded space, looks like mobile arm id becoming more proprietary. Intel could shake things up if it starts to work on riscv and brings some of its graphics and wireless tech over to it.

while it is nice to have a powerful phone, it really doesn't need to be any more powerful than what is in a tv set.

of course we need it, that's why the market was creating the pipeline. pretending that a group of experts can determine what the market needs or is essential, is de facto tyranny. what I can say for sure is that we need cheaper more reliable energy, and it is clear that this pipeline would do that for our country. instead the money and jobs go elsewhere.

what is amazing about this decision is that there was no rush to the courts for an injunction, no reliant interests. the company doesn't even put up a fight. I wonder why that is?

where is your data that supports that? there is a reason that the us federal government deleted all historic wildfire before 1983 when Biden entered office, it is because it shows the opposite of your claim.

when I lived on California i was amazed at how many pedestrian deaths there were in San Francisco, a city mired with no left turn rules. they allowed right on red, which I think contributed. I think most traffic engineers know about the green wave and improving traffic flow, but the political mission is to slow traffic to save lives and encourage mass transit. it's a shame

a more useful measure might be the trend of how much over the cost of materials does a li-ion cost. that excess cost, could be broken into the lack of automation, manufacturing inefficiencies (waste biproducts) and capital overhead. from Tesla "battery day" it is clear that reducing capital overhead was an important goal to reducing costs.

we can hardly define racism fairness and justice today let alone "fix" it. as for change, I'm happy to support any change that empowers people, treats people compassionately, and removes discrimination. that is unlike the solutions I see put forward by the so called anti-racists.
