Yea, I can envision public parking spots around apartments having slow chargers - 8kW something, so the cars can be charged over night for a similar price you have at home. However, that would required government motivation (wisdom) first and upgrade of electricity network which isn't able to sustain such power. Neither is happening, not even plans. Our governments suck. Funny aspect is that Slovenia is a small country (2M population) and could serve as testing ground for such experiments. I won't even mention basic income...

Meanwhile in Slovenia - here, have some subsidy for buying a new one and that's all. Figure out yourself about charging, specially if you live in an apartment.

Yes, true. Albeit they have worse energy density and some advantages as well.

Solid state batteries are supposedly much more fire resistant.

Hey, no worries. It's interesting how nature changes.

Yes, true, it's one of the 40,000+ "accidents".

That's interesting. You have an url handy for now details? Even if this wasn't the case, fossil generation isn't real feasible for us anyway.

TIL. But I'm not convinced that this would solve the problem for good. But it certainly helps with growth.

Yes, however the article lists it as a power source (of course it's great for building if possible) hence I'm looking at that aspect only. It's more suitable for heating, however, again, at scale it would be problematic (at that's not even a big one) plus emissions are not healthy. If you ignore emissions and use it for heating of few areas here and there (like it is a trend with pellets), taking into account growth rate, it could be a renewable I suppose.

That certainly helps, but still, at scale is hardly sustainable.

If you look at it like that, fossil is renewable as well. Just a tiny bit slower, but still, given enough time ... :)

Sure, that's all nice. However at what scale is that sustainable? Also burning wood yields all sorts of fine particles, not just CO2, which are not good for humans. Plus we are reducing forests at global level. Can you imagine the forest area for providing power to a whole city?

Is biomass renewable, though? I mean it takes a lot of time for a tree to grow. A lot.

Apparently US doesn't have problems even if Israel attacks their own warships.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident Why would a bunch of individuals matter...

In others news, US, EU sends a ton of weapons to Israel for their genocide project despite the warnings from several countries and humanity. IOW hypocrisy from West at it's peak. Oh, and there's much more.

Sure, but it still looks really weird that specs are not a secret, at least to general pubic.

IDF had all rights to defend themselves /s

TBH it's really weird that they announce this kind of stuff so publicly in first place. I'd expect this to be a military secret, not a public show. 🤷‍♂️

C# is awesome, however it has one big issue when it comes to games - garbage collection that can start at any moment and you have no control over it. There are ways to workaround but none is 100%. OTOH from similar level languages there is Swift that does reference counting instead and doesn't have this problem, albeit has a reference counting problem (where cyclic reference would create a memory leak, but this problem is solvable).

I'm not sure that serious ML doesn't need a huge graphics card.
