  • Efficiency can cut EV prices by $5k, charging costs by nearly a third

    Jump

  • With good charging options, 50kwh should be enough for most people.

    Using my Model Y effective range for comparison, this would drop the range in ideal conditions to about 200mi. In cold weather this would probably look more like 150mi or less. With the recommended 80% limit for regular charging, that could be as low as 120mi. That's also assuming it's always plugged in at home which isn't the case for everyone, and harder to do when you have two EVs sharing a home charger.

    The other significant tradeoff is the time it will take to charge on a longer trip. You'll be charging more frequently, a smaller battery may charge slower, and you'll need to charge to a higher percentage in order to continue your trip. It may take 20 min to get that first 80% charge at an L3 station but if you need the last 15-20% it could take an additional 25 min. This is also ignoring the increased utilization of busy charging locations, where two vehicles at a single stall will each charge slower.

    I'm a huge advocate for EVs but I would not be comfortable with that range or happy with the experience on longer trips, and these are top concerns for potential buyers.

  • No Policy Change: In CNN Interview, Harris Refuses to Condition U.S. Military Support for Israel

    Jump

  • Why? So that Trump ends up in office and does worse?

  • Politico Gets Raked Over the Coals for Kamala Harris Post: ‘One of the Worst Headlines Written in a Long Time’

    Jump

  • Bash said: "But what I wanna ask you about is what he said last month. He suggested that you ‘happened’ to turn Black recently for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity.”

    Where was the question? That's simply a statement about what Trump said.

    Politico's headline is outrageous, but what was Bash even trying to do here? Because it reads like she was trying to ask (without asking) if Harris is black, which is just as weird and absurd as Trump's original comment.

    Harris's reply is great because it applies both to Trump's racism and the problem with journalists giving these comments anything more than ridicule.

    Pick your seat, Lemmy

  • Realizing there are no good options (Satan aside, but look who you're sitting behind), I would end up in seat 10.

    Vance will be preoccupied with seat 5. I expect Graham will fall asleep.

    The back of the plane is usually a bit louder, so I'd just throw on my headphones and maybe occasionally kick the seatback.

  • How many people already suffer today or die early because of inadequate care and lack of affordable medications?

    Fuck their hypothetical diminished future profits and solve today's real problems that will save lives and increase quality of life.

  • A symbol for the fediverse ⁂

    Jump

  • Its use looks contrived to me on the linked GitHub page. The comparison with @ and # is flawed because those symbols are part of the resource name, whereas here the symbol is superfluous. It's like adding a 🌐 in front of every web URL.

  • What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that?

    Jump

  • Proof of work, which becomes computationally expensive to scale, along with other heuristics based on your browser and page interaction. I believe it's less about clicking the box and what happens after you've clicked the box.

  • Why are so many leaders in tech evil?

  • I remember when I was growing up

    You can basically stop right there. You were young and naive, viewing the world through the rose colored glasses of youth.

  • AI phishing is going to end email

    Jump

  • simplified and decentralized as it was meant to be

    The protocols behind email are extremely simple. You can open a terminal, connect to an smtp server, and send an email by typing literally plain English commands.

    Its simplicity and decentralization is exactly why spam and phishing is such a problem. Anyone can send an email as anyone else. Protocols for authentication were later introduced to at least mitigate impersonation, but those too are very simple and decentralized.

    Maybe you should learn how email works today before trying to reinvent it.

  • Google is no longer asking — feed the AI or you’re not in search results

    Jump

  • The context is not the same. A snippet is incomplete and often lacking important details. It's minimally tailored to your query unlike a response generated by an LLM. The obvious extension to this is conversational search, where clarification and additional detail still doesn't require you to click on any sources; you simply ask follow up questions.

    With Gemini?

    Yes. How do you think the Gemini model understands language in the first place?

  • Google is no longer asking — feed the AI or you’re not in search results

    Jump

  • If it's just that and links to the source, I think it's OK.

    No one will click on the source, which means the only visitor to your site is Googlebot.

    What would be absolutely unacceptable is to use the web in general as training data for text and image generation.

    This has already happened and continues to happen.

  • Trump campaign confirms security breach, blames Iran

    Jump

  • My assumption is Trump and his top advisors all have regular and friendly dealings with foreign adversaries.

    So I expect this was less of a security breach and more of an accidental disclosure along with other intentionally disclosed information. Something along the lines of an assistant was asked to email the candidate dossiers and oppo research, and they zipped up the entire folder sitting on their desktop named "candidates".

  • Evolution of C

  • This isn't the evolution of C at all. It's all just one language and you're simply stuck in a lower dimension with a dimensionally compatible cross-section.

  • Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead

    Jump

  • This was the obvious move - attempt to change the venue to Fox, Newsmax or worse. I'm surprised Tucker isn't a proposed moderator.

    Harris should counter with a live fact check requirement regardless of venue, which Trump and Fox could never accept.

  • Germans Combat Climate Change From Their Balconies: Plug-and-play solar panels are popping up in yards and on balcony railings across Germany, driven by bargain prices and looser regulations.

    Jump

  • I'm sure the original comment had incorrect units as used, but this explanation that cumulative units "can't peak" seems wrong.

    If you consider the total stored energy (Wh) over time of a solar-battery system under load, there certainly will be peaks or, in other words, maximal excess capacity of the system.

    So no, it's not impossible to define a unit of Whp as such. "Cumulative" and "momentary" values are not exclusive and also do not have any bearing on whether a function of such values has maxima and minima.

  • The Rule

    Jump

  • It cannot tell you since then a human would become aware of this information.

    At the same time, you're forcing it to extract this information. Yet you haven't told it the timeframe within which to answer.

    Obviously, the solution it has come up with to satisfy your request within these constraints is to answer very slowly. So slowly that the answer won't be revealed until it can be certain that humanity will already be extinct.

    Given that it provided us with the first word in 30 min, we should all be very concerned.
