I'm seeing a lot of skepticism in the comments here, but electric cars are already superior to their combustion-driven ancestors in most ways. People want to buy them. (Sales are already limited by how fast car makers can increase manufacturing capacity.) What this will do is mostly limit how long car makers can milk their gas/diesel engine making capability.
Poor mental health and deliberate antisocial behavior that you could call malicious often go hand in hand. It's not very clear to me over the internet here whether he's having a laugh behind an act, making some calculated move for self-gain, really perceives what he's done as good and true, or even whether he sees it as socially good somehow despite being an act. It could be malicious behavior, it could be unhinged, it might be both, but I doubt it's neither.
> ...A human uttering that sentence is doing it because they want to feel validated or something similar (well, assuming they're not proving a point, like I was here).

> This difference is crucial to understand: LaMDA is not an agent with desires that it expresses in language...

There is a flaw in that line of reasoning, because an AI could be designed to mimic or generate human-like emotions. Such functions could be part of its core programming. For that matter, how "real" are human emotions? Aren't they something the brain generates?

If for example, you designed a robot to experience "pain" when kicked and damaged, how much less real would it be than the human equivalent?

Consequently, for such an AI that was designed that way, it could be expressing an equivalent to various human emotions. That we would perceive its pain as "less real", could be partially a matter of how we evaluate its importance, as in robots or lower animals are lesser than.

You've obviously never casually biked. In NL you very frequently see teens riding with 3 people next to each other talking, and while you're not allowed to hold phones anymore, you can easily do hands-free phone calls if you wanted. A lot of people have earpods for music or podcasts in.
Ferrari is welcome to produce non-combustion vehicles. If Porsche can upset the purists by making an SUV (it's been a while but there was some outrage about basically getting in to the minivan market) then Ferrari can make an EV.
Tron’s USDD stablecoin currently losing its peg
I am willing to bet a beer that it's only for new cars. The article links to a description :

>In a plenary vote on Wednesday, MEPs adopted their position on proposed rules to revise the CO2 emissions performance standards for *new* cars and vans with 339 votes in favour, 249 against and 24 abstentions.

Many of the eu rules for cars are not retroactive. E.g I can use a old car without lighting for the number plate, even though new cars must have light on them.
That's exactly how you should do it, I think. Generate as much power as you can use for yourself, fill a battery for the night, repeat that cycle.

My landlord installed a 30 kW peak solar system (two households, six childs/people), installed a heat pump and insulated some walls that were not insulated before. Surely a hefty invest, but external power usage has dropped pretty much to zero from February to October. Even after that it's minimal.

The Decentralized Internet as the First Step Toward Post-Money Economy
Ok. I'm responding to the statement that these are "relatively clear concepts". AI will by definition never have "the kind of sentience that living, awake humans have" (and I do acknowledge that this is only a working definition) because the goalposts will continue to move according to whim in the absence of a more formal definition. I remember when one prevailing formal test of self-awareness was "independently claiming to have self-awareness". There were caveats, of course, but that goalpost has evidently moved.

EU has less than 10% share in the CO~2 production. We are not going to make a difference even by going medieval today, and the rest of the world isn't going to care, especially as they will watch us to self-destruct.
If you need something even more simple, a no-configuration audio streaming server is here: github.com/fgergo/boringstreamer

When we permanently tie someone to their history, we force them to stay the same person forever, and back them into a corner. It makes rehabilitation impossible.

Look at cancel culture - but in its original sense. A company would do something bad, they would get boycotted, and then when they reversed that decision, they would be forgiven and applauded for doing the right thing.

Now, when the mob never forgives and never forgets, companies are incentivised to double-down on that misstep, and fully align themselves with fringe groups instead. Like someone getting radicalised in prison, leaving with no job prospects, and resorting to joining a gang because it's the only option left.

I worry that this will do the same thing to people. Hell, even criminal records can be sealed after long enough.
Life after Guantanamo: 'We are still in jail'
Interestingly, the "large-haul trucks" seem to be excluded from the deal (it is discussed separately.) [1]

I would say that the _very last mile_ of delivery (especially inside city centers) is properly covered by EVs (French Postal Service is claiming to have "the largest fleet of EVs in the world" [2].) Those vehicles have predictable routes, reasonnable usage hours, and a relatively small radius of travel; a battery of 100km or range, recharged at night, seems like a good fit.

It's of course _much_ trickier for the kind of trucks that cross over Europe to ship veggies. I would not be surprised if those get to use fossil fuels a bit longer (maybe with higher efficiency requirements, higher proportion of plant-based fuels, incentives to go for H2 even if it does not make _complete_ environement sense, etc...)

I assume people will sell theirs for export to the countries outside of EU. Having bought a new car last year with internal combustion - I'm OK to lose a few thousands by 2035 if this means that there are no more internal combustion cars in use.

The primary reason I bought non-electric car is insufficient infrastructure, bills like this will fix the infrastructure problem.

Edit: to answer the question in the edit. 13 years is enought of heads up for any new cars. I'd expect a pretty significant drop off in new car sales by 2030 as few people would like to be forced to get rid of their 5 year old car by 2035.
I think Banks should also expose the internals of their credit rating algorithms. Openness and transparency should be part of new world order.
Very interesting. I'm working on visualization and explainability of ML algorithms.

Thank you for posting this.
So basically. Turn off the computer, delete GitHub, delete hackrank, turn off all my docker servers and swarms across the multiple library networks and then go out and talk to NPCs?
The literal last mile is the easiest part, actually. Electric trucks with a range of 300km are already widely available, and that's more than enough for local use.

Besides, in Europe there are pretty stringent rules about driving times already. You need to take a 45-minute break every 4.5 hours, which at 90 kmh is every 400 km. You can split that into a 15-minute break and a 30-minute one, requiring an even shorter range. Meanwhile, Germany is trialing overhead wires on highways, which would allow for an even more reduced range.

The way I see it, the truck isn't the problem: building the charging infrastructure is.
I don't think believing a conversation AI to be sentient is a mental health issue. More an effect of lacking insight. In context of people praying to some tree spirit it almost seems rational again.
Now you know how it feels when the government takes your tax money that you earned from a job to which you commuted by bike and gives it to motorists so they can buy EV's that will then clog the city through which you are cycling.

Always someone to blame.... this is a positive step.
It's only for new cars and in 2035, buyers have 12 years to see it coming and make informed decisions during that period.
The article doesn't make it clear, but they are banning the sale of new ICE cars. The secondhand market will continue, although I certainly would expect the value to reduce.

Diesel cars have already seen this happen, with current and expected future restrictions on them being used in cities.
Unlike US senators, 99% of EU parliament MEPs don't have the means for private planes (or even to charter them regularly).
>Able to police external borders? => Yes, Frontex

That hasn't really worked in practice though, as illegal migrants discovered that if you sail a boat towards EU borders and intentionally sink it when Frontex tries to intercept, then they're obliged to rescue and take you to Europe, instead of sending you back for trespassing without a visa, meaning anyone could exploit this loophole to enter Europe illegally.

That's hardly an effective border protection.

I think this is the reason Apple is reluctant to add it. There are very valid reasons why a user would opt to receive web-push notifications, but its mostly niche apps/usages. The vast majority of push authorization banners are from sites you visit for the first time, with hardly any engagement or interaction nor clear intention of allowing web-push ("We think you want unsolicited notifications because it is better for our business model")

While there is no fix for dark-pattern usage of web-push, browsers and OS UX must make it super easy to withdraw notification consent anytime.
Even not management there is quite wide range of work in police. From traffic to answering emergencies like drug users around bar closing times, their fights or simple property crime. On other hand then you have the more white collar and more investigative work. Type of person and level of their education is different in these. Not that any of it is less valuable to community.

The problem is that after having to wait for 10 seconds to reject their terms of service (which you should be able to reject right away) before even being able to see what the site is about, they are rickrolling you, effectively giving you the finger for not wanting to agree to their terms without context. That‘s quite unprofessional, counterproductive and antagonistic.

Raincoats work when you are walking, and the rain comes from above, but not when you are cycling, because the rain comes from the sides, and below.

It's really complicated to cycle in the rain, especially in cold winter rain. You have to have specialised clothing that will both keep you warm, and be waterproof. Special gloves, insulated rubber boots? And you still get sweaty underneath at the same time.

How do you cover your helmet? Your face? Have fun taking a shower in freezing water three times a week for 6 months of the year, ice bucket challenge on the way to work. I hope you don't mind those extra sick days.

Why wouldn't the used market eat them up? The existing infrastructure of gas station is realistically not going away until enough people have ditched their old vehicles, and cars are thankfully an industry where consumers still expect their cars to last 10+ years.

Don't know what everyone else's experience is, but coming from a middle class family, my first car was a 1993 Ford Fiesta (which was ~20 year old at the time) my dad bought me for dirt cheap. It used a very outdated fuel (petrol instead of diesel), didn't have any of the modern safety standards which are required by new cars and had fuel efficiency so bad it was outright banned within many city centers... but it still served me for years.

Yes, this only applies to new cars, not used cars. You will be able to sell and buy used cars after 2035 if this proposal comes into effect. Note that while the parliament of the EU has approved the proposal, it still needs approval from the council of ministers.
It would make TomTom and Garmin very happy, I guess.

> People were doing "SSR" with PHP on the server-side 30 years ago, and still do today (can you imagine just how much progress that platform has made, and how much collective knowledge has been developed around it?). It's just not hip anymore, because it wasn't invented within the past 36 months.

Well, kind of. The thing is that the natural progression from server side rendering/content-generation with only html and css, via Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) to the current js-first paradigm - was a transition from hypertext document system to "movable code" (In the terms of Fielding's REST thesis)[1].

Keeping state/cache consistent works differently in the two paradigms (and they have different benefits/trade-offs).

There's a real tention between "application" and "document system". And a lot of what seems insane about contemporary web dev, is when people take something that is clearly easily/well solved as a "document system" (eg: blog/homepage) - and implement it as an application (essentially writing half of a web browser in js - with custom routing/addressing and widgets).

It's the reverse of the problem react et al tries to solve: writing an application using a document system (ie: a complex php app).

It's even good from an environmental perspective if electricity is not all low emissions. In fact, even with the current energy mix in germany, with a large portion of coal.

ICEs are very inefficient at converting gas to movement, so the per-km emissions almost always favor EVs, independent of power generation. So if the manufacturing gets greener (which will hopefully be sufficiently the case by then), it doesn't matter.
> The best leading theories about infant amnesia is that language IS what causes it. Memories are indexed by different keys until language is developed. Once language comes in, it becomes the only key function for accessing memories, and the ones mapped before language just become unsearchable.

That actually makes a ton of sense. Also a bit eerie to think that my brain holds information that I just can't search for. I wonder if certain triggers could cause that information to surface, since even though our memories are searched through language, maybe there are other 'pathways' that can reach those spots. Kinda like memory that's not mapped in any pages, it's physically there but you can't normally address it.

The way I read it, you might have lots of javascript to compute and render your e.g. counter control but you can keep that on the server side, only return the (much smaller) piece of HTML code and ONLY the JS needed to make the control interactive.

I don't know whether this means that it doesn't work as SPA any more since if you want to keep the best of both, you will end up creating more4 complexity, a new framework to learn and probably get marginal improvements at best.
If they follow through with this, I’d expect a 2034 ICE car will fetch a premium in 2036 rather than being unsellable. (Note that, contrary to the headline and contents in the Register article, the ban is only on the sale of new cars with ICE, not on the sale of used ICE cars.)

There are plenty of cases where EVs are very good answers today. My wife’s ICE car is 17 years old and still going strong. If I fast forward to 2039, she’d equivalently be driving a 2022. In 2045, 10 year old ICE cars will still be readily available and I think quite usable.

You think radical policy is limited to internal? What happens if I don't trade with you unless you verifiably stop cutting down your rainforest? If I exclude your organisations from import unless they achieve some audited environmental standards, adopt EVs etc. Being a rich trading bloc like the EU can certainly have important and deliberate externalities.
That seems like a strange principle. Nowhere does it say it’s free, and the pricing details are plainly available. 3 tiers, 19, 39, 99/mo after the trial.

There may be individuals that fit your stereotype, but frankly your statement comes off as every bit as racist as you blame that stereotype of.

Personally, I think it would be great if Africa, India and Mexico could become energy powerhouses. Much better to have energy that can be produced anywhere with a desert or tropical climate than a few monopolist countries, such as OPEC+Russia.

And before you blame that last sentence on racism, keep in mind that Russia is VERY white and also very high latitude. It's not about the race, latitude or skin coloar, but the fact that many OPEC countries are dictatorships that use the profits to wage war on their neighbours, both in the Middle East and Russia/Ukraine.
Moving the blame from the EU data privacy rules to literally everyone else is frankly just ridiculous.

How far is this demo from the real algorithm ? In the demo it seems they use a very simple decision tree just based on very few criterion (In order : Self-perceived ability to get a job, Origin, Age, Recent employment rate).

Does this simplistic (racist and ageist) model have been derived from real data and is in use, or is it just some kind of propaganda (from CopenHagen University?) and the real model they use is much more complex.

Random forests can be made much bigger and match data quite well provided they are big enough, but the bigger they get the harder they are to explain.

>Raimondo noted: "The truth of the matter is that requires a lot of chips. The average electric vehicle has 2,000 chips in one car... one of the manufacturers said they're going to double their chip needs in the next five years. Probably the [combustion engine] car you drive now has hundreds of chips. The EV that we want you to buy over time has 2,000 chips."

I hear this repeated all the time. No you don't need hundreds of chips to build an ICE engine car, and no you don't need hundreds, let alone thousands, of chips to build an electric car. There's no technical reason electric cars need so many more chips than ICE cars.

The number of chips in cars is mostly due to the number of suppliers involved in building parts of the car separately.

Quick Google shows Quebec Pension Fund managed circa ~$325B. They will invest across a range of asset classes and risk profiles.

Looks like they put around $200M into Celsius which is about 0.06% of their AUM.

Numbers might not be totally accurate but order of magnitude shows the scale of these funds and how they choose high risk to try and get some return for their beneficiaries.

(Note: I'm not condoning investment into Celsius/crypto in general; just making a point on the investment scale)
