- Comment on Germany hits 62.7% renewables in 2024 energy mix, with solar contributing 14% 1 day ago:
Yeah, what’s up with that? Nuclear works well for France, so why did it fall out of favor in Germany?
Lobbying (corruption).
- Comment on Apple to pay $95 million to settle Siri privacy lawsuit 1 day ago:
That’s nothing to them.
Very weak legal system that is.
- Comment on LegalEagle Suing PayPal's Honey 2 days ago:
What a weird rumor, you’re trying to start.
He did mention it btw.
- Comment on Encode Joins Musk in Fight Against OpenAI’s For-Profit Transition 4 days ago:
They don’t join him AT ALL.
Musky is doing it for his own gain, and only to stiffel competition.
Encode have a legitimate interest in the public (so far)
- Comment on Facebook and Instagram to Unleash AI-Generated ‘Users’ No One Asked For 4 days ago:
You don’t think there’s more Google accounts + phones + tablets + people changing phones, than population on Earth?
- Comment on I cannot tell you a way my life has genuinely gotten better since the advent of "smart" phones. 5 days ago:
I don’t think it sucks for you to not be reliant on it, but it also seems like you don’t know how to use it for your advantage.
Never install social media on it and go figure out what it can do for you.
- Comment on Microsoft builds first datacenters with wood to slash carbon emissions 1 month ago:
So the best thing you can do with a tree, is to cut it down and use it as materials, if we want to release as little CO2 as possible?
And ofc this depends on new trees being planted in its stead.
- Comment on When Does Instagram Decide a Nipple Becomes Female? 2 months ago:
Ah yes, and then uses Jesus’ name in the same sentence as USA. The guy hated capitalism more than anything.
- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 2 months ago:
You’re probably right. I encountered maybe 2 or 3 deers running out in front of my car so far, and I hit the breaks every time in pure reflex anyway.
Dodged them so far, but damn I’m scared I might hit one at some point.
- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 2 months ago:
Yeah, I heard about people dying in crashes with deers also. I just remembered we were taught this, and I just thought it might be programmed to ignore animals because of this.
But it’s probably wrong, and as someone pointed out, it seems like it didn’t even see the deer.
- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 2 months ago:
I hate Tesla as much as the next guy in here.
But I learned at my driving lessons that you shouldn’t hit the breaks for animals running into your lane, because it can result in a car crash that’s way worse. (think truck behind you with a much longer break length.)
Don’t know if there’s different rules.
- Comment on Concerns about medical note-taking tool raised after researcher discovers it invents things no one said — Nabla is powered by OpenAI's Whisper 2 months ago:
It’s great they start using these tools, but I hope they keep in mind that it needs much fine tuning before it’s reliable enough.
You need to use a product in practice to make it better. But you don’t need to rely on it from the start. They need to invest the time in implementation, and where it can be used and shouldn’t be used.
Nice progress towards something good, but we’re not there yet.
- Comment on I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was. 2 months ago:
She was a boy. Now she’s a girl. Daddy didn’t take it so well.
- Comment on Brazil imposes new fine, demands payments before letting X resume. 3 months ago:
No wonder Elon prefers fascist leaders vs left governments.
- Comment on Which Countries Have The Most Data Centers? 3 months ago:
Or the have fewer but larger.
Or as another user pointed out: The source might be questionable to use as valid data globally.
- Comment on Is it fair to ask individuals to make significant changes to their lifestyles to combat climate change?" 3 months ago:
It’s fair to ask companies and politicians first.
- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 3 months ago:
Not really on topic, but AI upscaling is no joke. It’s actually very useful and saves alot processing power. Same with the extra fps, making a 30fps into a 60fps with ease.
- Comment on Like Brazil, the European Union also has an X problem. 3 months ago:
Yeah. Or, you know. Find something else to do.
- Comment on Patreon will have to use Apple's in-app purchase system or be removed from the App Store 4 months ago:
They lost it in the EU, but did it change for the rest of the world? Can’t really read from the article what region they are talking about.
- Comment on Sineng Electric launches world’s largest sodium-ion battery storage project 4 months ago:
I talked to an energy engineer about it, and I’m pretty sure it’s what he said. Would also make sense when China use it like this.
- Comment on Sineng Electric launches world’s largest sodium-ion battery storage project 4 months ago:
Sodium-ion has a lower power to weight ratio. Lithium is better in this regard.
Sodium-ion is used on the ground as storage for this reason. It’s not to be beneficial to put it into a moveable object.
- Comment on Roblox gets banned indefinitely in Turkey over “child exploitation” 4 months ago:
My bad. English is not my first language.
- Comment on Ad industry initiative abruptly shuts down after lawsuit filed by Elon Musk’s X 4 months ago:
He literally bullied a non-profit organisation set in the world to use advertisement money responsible into ceasing operations.
Loss for the world once again, and the article even says that Republicans celebrated. That country is sick.
- Comment on Roblox gets banned indefinitely in Turkey over “child exploitation” 4 months ago:
Why did anyone read my comment as an excuse? I was pointing two fingers instead of one on Roblox.
- Comment on Roblox gets banned indefinitely in Turkey over “child exploitation” 4 months ago:
Fair enough, but couldn’t the same be said about YouTube? They also take the biggest cut of the ad money for creators.
- Comment on Trump’s ‘no choice’ comment on EVs reveal partisan divide over green tech 4 months ago:
I agree with you, but people need to stop looking at the economy as a “free market”.
Almost every single government are putting restraints on one product or another.
Yes, we want to support domestic construction. We need competition, and we don’t need to ship goods across the world as much as we do.
But the market is not free. And that’s a good thing.
- Comment on Court blocks the FCC's efforts to restore net neutrality... again 5 months ago:
Not really the point, because this case would go to supreme court if they didn’t like the ruling.
- Comment on Court blocks the FCC's efforts to restore net neutrality... again 5 months ago:
The US has no term limit for supreme judges. They are literally mini dictators.
- Comment on 77% Of Employees Report AI Has Increased Workloads And Hampered Productivity, Study Finds 5 months ago:
I’m not working in tech either. Everyone relying on a computer can use this.
Also, medicin and radiology are two areas that will benefit from this - especially the patients.
- Comment on 77% Of Employees Report AI Has Increased Workloads And Hampered Productivity, Study Finds 5 months ago:
Same, I’ve automated alot of my tasks with AI. No way 77% is “hampered” by it.
