European, Japanese, and South Korean automakers haven’t achieved the economies of scale drive down EV prices, but they are getting better quickly.

Tesla meanwhile has been stagnant for a while, which means people who wanted that that kind of car likely already bought one and don’t see much reason to buy a new one. The poor publicity from Elon isn’t helping but they peaked in 2023 even as total EV sales grew substantially in 2024.
Betting on the inability of German automakers to make cars isn't something I'd do, personally, but OK.
With more and more alternatives available, not sure why someone would in general buy a Tesla, at least here in Europe.

They are very expensive and apparently not high quality as one would be expecting for that price. Add all the political "things" happening in the last months and that VW, BMW etc are waking up and you'll get a high number of people not wanting to buy a Tesla anymore. Probably not 94% but I think it's pretty close.
I had to reload a few times - eventually it loaded everything.
Natural gas is a mixture of methane and heavier hydrocarbons, the composition varies by region, depending largely on how the LPGs (propane and butane) are used. Ethane usually ends up in natural gas, unless there is a petrochemical complex nearby.

So, 80% is a theoretical maximum, which is never achieved in practice. 75% hydrogen looks pretty right.
I think he just mean not Soft Machine kind - self *, alive without any adv. magic.
It has to do with other companies catching up and surpassing Tesla. Tesla's are a bad deal nowadays because of build quality and the company slashing prices(which kills resale value). Has tesla refreshed their lineup yet?

Plus the whole CEO is a psycho nazi thing.

edit: yeah, there's an article over on the verge talking aout how used tesla prices are plummeting because everyone wants to ditch their teslas. It's probably a decent time to buy a cheap tesla.
There's also biofuels. In Norway until recently the biofuel mixing requiremnts were doing as much to avoid CO2 in passenger cars as EVs, though EVs grew so they're about twice as effective now. Still a powerful complementary strategy.

So that's why there is a hydrogen bus story on the top page right now...
So much this. I recently looked into using GitHub Actions but ended up using GitLab instead since it had official tools and good docs for my needs. My needs are simple. Even just little scripting would be better than having to use and audit some 3rd party repo with a lot more code and deps.

And if you're new, and the repo aptly named, you may not realize that the action is just some random repo
Yeah, couldn't believe what I was reading. The author was already being charitable to Google, but that part was a big shot to their credibility.
When you get down to it, the vast majority of LLM stuff is actually fan fiction under the hood.

Even your interaction with an "assistant" is actually a document describing a conversation between two characters, where one has dialogue of what you entered and the other is acted-out.

I think you're misunderstanding “done” in the sense of “completed” when they meant “done” to say “dead”.

Or maybe I am the one getting it backwards…
It literally doesn't know how to handle 'I don't know' and needs to be taught. fascinating.
Tesla is/was the largest importer of Chinese-made cars into Europe. That's why the EU tariffs are decided brand by brand (to spare Tesla and BMW mostly)
It is ridiculous that it took politics and a trade war to get people to finally stop buying overpriced windows update control-grid pedestrian-mowers that take anywhere between 30 minutes and 12 hours to re-fuel. People are so hooked on their status symbols. He could have made underwear that randomly tazes your balls, and if he charged enough for it, and sold it in cute & seamless packaging, people would buy it!

That's kind of the point of status symbols, isn't it? I have tattoos on my face, but still make more than your doctor. I bought an imported car that's in the shop half the time, but that's just an opportunity to drive one of my other imported cars. I wear underwear that zaps my jimmies every now and again, but... you get the picture.
as a foreigner to the us i am investing heavily in the us, there is a pathway where the legal and social changes could result in considerable economic benefit over the next two years. you should consider how that could occur before waving it off ideologically. i am coming from an investment point of view and am largely agnostic of the politics.
It makes you wonder if Microsoft had given developers what they wanted, i.e. modern CSS and Javascript support, more browser features, etc., would they have actually moved off of Internet Explorer?
Another annoying one from that category is Ruby's forwarded methods. Since they're created via generated, injected code, you can't query which method it forwards to at runtime. Or not easily anyway.
This will probably wildly diver from country to country, but typically in elementary school where 50 kids, and for high school around 100-120.

Musk's rightward lurch will be good for the electric car transition. His ideological opponents are just switching to other EV vendors. His ideological friends would normally not have considered buying an electric car, because anthropogenic climate change is a socialist hoax or something, but Trump is instructing them to buy Teslas as a sign of solidarity.
Tesla was given favorable tariffs terms by the European commission, even fro vehicles made in China, but who know how long that will last with Musk insulting them daily.
Imagine away.
I highly doubt that Russia is capable or willing to get into a fullscale war with EU. It's more than 3 years into war with Ukraine without any meaningful result, but repercussions for Russia, while not fatal, still significant. There was very limited military aid for Ukraine, yet Ukranian UAVs explode in Moscow and regions almost every day. Also there's a gas pipe from Russia to EU amidst the conflict which both sides afraid to even touch. Also EU has nuclear.
I noticed that food became much more standardized and similar at different places, maybe they are taking a page from McDonald's book and using some kind of a centralized model, where cooks at the restaurant just microwave and plate the prepared ingredients.
The fact that Bypass Paywalls Clean works for so many websites is kinda baffling to me. Are there any reasons why they choose to implement paywalls in front-end only, or is it just technical incompetence?
Dislike the current Trump administration as you might, this is a very far cry than the european brand of radical right from the thirties, which was preoccupied with human sacrifice
The Wikipedia entry [1] has some good illustrations for the 2-dimensional case.

Maybe it would help if you'd tell us why they're nonsensical. By the engagement these submissions get it looks like most people at least entertain, if not support them.
These are quite obvious for anyone who has been following energy tech at a surface level.
Based on the title, I was hoping for an explanation. Instead the article is a collection of "maybe it's this?" points.

It's still great that Cornell Lab provide resources like this. Another project of theirs, BirdNET [0], is fantastic for identifying bird song.

How much power does it take to charge a bus in a reasonable amount of time?

I heard 100kw. If I have 100 buses charging overnight at 100kw I guess I need 10Mw grid connection? Is that an easy thing to get to a city bus depot in the US. In the UK I believe that would require moving to a location with a HV line and building a sub-station.
And how working class had it better in USSR? How it has it better under CCCP? Or in Cuba?

Working class conditions improved in Scandinavia, UK ruled by Labour Party etc., so in places where explicitly non-marxists forms of socialism took hold.
And then God spoke to me: "Sir, you have the greatest and most beautiful tariffs." And I said: "Yes, beautiful and great. Like the son I never had."
"Blue hydrogen" is commonly used for hydrogen produced from natural gas. If it is produced by steam reforming (most common), then the associated CO2 emissions are worse than if you just burn the natural gas directly.

"Green hydrogen" is usually hydrogen produced from water by electrolysis, using electricity from non-CO2 source, e.g. wind or electricity.
Walking from primary school was the shit. Playing with the electric fence, cycling on the frozen stream, getting scalded for being late...
I disagree that European EVs aren't good.

The Volkswagen range (ID.3, ID.4, the ID.Buzz van) is excellent. Of all the EVs I've driven, the ID.3 is my favorite, far superior to a Tesla. I've driven rented EVs from Skoda, Opel, SEAT, Peugeot, etc., and they're all fine, if boring. If you count any brand available in Europe, Hyundai and Kia both have excellent EVs, including the Kia EV6 and EV9.

Tesla have definitely nailed certain things that other manufacturers have struggled with. They're the only manufacturer that does a good UI (but like many others I deeply dislike that everything is on a poorly positioned screen), and their integration is excellent (things like automatic navigation to a supercharger when it knows it will need to charge to get to your destination).

Tesla have also strived for more practical ranges; I find it really frustrating when other manufacturers launch new cars with 300-350km ranges, which is a step backwards.
It comes with the downside that if you want to pass the function itself around, you need to do f=something.method(:the_function), and then f.call(args). It's not a huge deal, but... meh.
Germany is not the same as other countries. They have a culturally different view towards nuclear power.
Yes, because government subsidies switched to electric cars.
OpenAI should concentrate on delivering models that don't get overtaken 3 months later by open source offerings.
This really seems the like 'oh duh' insight. The output of your revenue-making equipment (the kitchen) went up without requiring additional floor space and staff to serve a larger customer-base.

More specifically - the restaurants that survived (which is already a feat in and of itself) could serve more customers since they didn't have to turn as many tables. Even with the "overhead" of food delivery apps - restaurants could still purchase whole-sale ingredients in bulk and sell to more people without building out their physical plant.

To add - the dine-in experience has gotten faster. You don't need to wait for menus and you don't need to do the dance when settling your bill. Even if you didn't expand your delivery clientele you could probably turn tables faster without any 'hit' on rushing out your loyal customers.
I don't trust Apple either. They also collect data and use it for advertising.
Sales numbers are not good, ok, but a fact is: ID.7 is until now (2025) the most sold e-car. Just in front of ID.4 and ID.5.

Even if you don't understand German there is graph showing how many Tesla cars were bought/registered in Feb 2025.
dot-product attention is the biggest barrier. This is why there are so many attempts to linearize it.
with all the AI stuff going around, can't github just scan repos for such malicious code?
Simple, Switzerland.
All the positive things when you think Europe, without the negative things when you think EU plus all the wealth, quality of life and any other metric you can wish for.
Very interesting, but it is a niche specific case that doesn't answer the question at all.

Imagine a tractor in a field. What is the solution for that?
T-Online is generally not representative.
It's not. It enables free content, but most of it is crap quality.

Assume there's no ad network that tells you that user is into high-end bikes. You cannot produce cheap rage bait and then market bikes, because you'll likely miss your target audience. You have to produce good biking content and then advertise bikes to be effective.

This is basically "break for our sponsor" you see on YouTube - for me personally youtube sponsorships are way more bearable than typical ad infested "news" site
It's not that slow really. Also, there's yjit included https://speed.yjit.org/

We're running a few very popular services on rails and it's really not a problem in any way.
Blue hydrogen is produced from natural gas.

Green hydrogen is produced from electrolysis of water where the energy is comming from a renevable source. (Imagine solar panels which are directly connected to an electrolysis plant.)

“Green-ish” hydrogen is produced from electrolysis of water where the energy is comming from the grid. (And thus as green as your grid is.)
A billion tonnes per annum is niche ?

What's the tonnage the tractor moves per annum?
Taxi drivers suffered the same thing with the rise of Uber etc. Every fare is now logged in detail.
This doesn't seem right.

Even the companies with the strongest RTO policies still allow many employees to work from home one day a week / if they are sick / if they are on call / in other extenuating circumstances. So those IT departments still have to manage a fleet of off-premises devices of approximately the same size.

Maybe there are small savings from underprovisioning VPNs, or fewer support requests when people will all be in the office regularly, but that seems tiny in comparison.
He wasn't just saying 'do it like Apollo did' in terms of tech, but rather focusing on the process. I think the key takeaway is that one of the main things they did during Apollo was to obsessively try to get everybody to express their honest feedback, and especially negative feedback. Artemis isn't ever going anywhere for a million reasons, of which he listed a couple of random ones, but everybody keeps pretending it is.

That's because the powers that be surround themselves with yes-men or (equivalently) people are afraid of the consequences for stating their honest opinion, when that opinion is negative. It's a problem as old as time. "The Emperor's New Clothes" is based on tales dating back to around 1000AD, and I'm sure it goes back far further than that. This problem destroys competence, destroys countries, and has become ubiquitous in every single aspect of high level public (and to a lesser degree even high level private) decision making in the US.

Notice how things seem to constantly just go wrong in spite of effectively endless resources and manpower? If you look at what we have today in terms of any quantifiable metric we should be able to run circles around the 60s (in terms of, amongst other things, tech advancement) with our eyes shut, yet in practice we're struggling to recreate what they did in the 60s, in 7 years, starting from nothing and on a [relatively] extremely limited budget.
>get better sound quality

That just isn't true though, is it? How would a microcontroller add sound quality?
They did?

AJAX of jQuery fame, is extremely similar to ActiveX XmlHttpRequest.

The problem isn't XmlHttpRequest, but everything else they added/removed. Same with Google. The problem isn't they made request more secure, they made ad blocking impossible.
In the same vein, the founding of the US relied upon anonymity. The Federalist Papers, Common Sense, etc all had anonymous authors, the Fourth Amendment is in a way a response to general warrants used to persecute anonymous authors, etc.
I originally wrote centuries, but there’s reasonable criticism calling something a collapse when there’s periods of renewal and expansion in that timeframe.
Bunny.net explicitly names third parties handling user data, while Cloudflare’s policy is more vague, referring only to "third-party service providers" without listing specific companies.

I like the bunny policy more. It is more transparent.
My impression was that it took time but it was also violent (e.g. sack of rome)
In my experience bunny has lower latency than cloudflare. I can confirm.
If you decline to use WhatsApp you need to use SMS for a lot of contacts in Germany. Or RCS since the latest iOS update.
So blind people aren't generally sentient?

(I'm obviously exaggerating a bit for the sake of the argument, but the point stands. Multimodality should not be a prerequisite to AGI)
They will never be able to kill cookies unless they bribe the whole industry and make them believe Google's cookie replacement technology will bring them more ad money.

Tbh cookies are lesser evil than Google's make believe cookie replacement technology. And remember Google is not Netscape, Google is on whole another level of power and domination.
Not every non-US country. Most people in Norway have iPhones, so iMessage is heavily used. They also use Facebook messenger a lot for some bizarre reason.
observe how EU is brewing another global humanitarian crisis, war or just idiocracy.
> text definitely encodes multimodal experiences

Perhaps, but only in the same sense that brown and green wax on paper "encodes" an oak tree.
It's called automatic content recognition (ACR). Most systems take low resolution (about 640x480 or 320x240) black and white screenshots at regular intervals, compress them do death, and upload that to big brother. That's more than enough to determine what specific kink or style of porn you're into, if you make the mistake of thinking that watching that kind of stuff in the privacy of your own home is private.

It was a joke, i know it's not deductible :)

Made me realize I never deduced all the open source project i gave to tho.
I decided not to visit (let alone work in) the US until it has adopted legal standards and enforcement that are suitable for a developed nation. The latest political developments have tanked my trust in the US even more.

And I don't mean you can't somehow get legal remedies when you have sufficient funds and time if someone mistreats you. In the US you can even get legal remedy when you were in the wrong, if you have the funds. I mean that the people down on the ground seem to act with arbitariness and no respect for the law or what is just, be it the police, border officers, employers, or whatnot. Police officers telling a perfectly calm person they are "resisting" is not normal. And the fact that a whole society seems to have given up on trying to solve that kind of uncivilized behavior (or is even defending it!) makes it worse.

If I want an adventure that can end my life I go into the mountains, there at least the air is nice.
Yeah the budget eggs never reliably peel for me.
Context for comment readers. Author switched as was looking for a non-US provider
Next time you live your country I wish you can feel what arbitrary tyrannical treatment at a border feel like, because it seems you are of the type that has to feel it themselves to learn.
By their own admission, "not only does Google collect your name and email address, Google also collects your physical address, your exact location, your contacts, advertising data, product interaction, search, and browsing history." [1] And that's Chrome (a Safari wrapper at that moment) on iOS. You may assume they collect at least as much on platforms they own.

Thanks. Any idea what “grey” would mean in this context?
Agreed to everything in the first paragraph - second isn't something I can speak to as a Canadian. Came back to say you forgot the boom-bust cycle and the constant layoffs that come with it. Would like to reiterate on the stress and (corresponding) responsibility too, with again, the low pay not helping.

Can't say how glad I am to be out of aviation. I will say that it can play well on dating apps though - it can be dressed up to look very nice
Hundreds of milliseconds though? Seems highly doubtful, Cloudflare has latency in the range of 10-20 ms for most metropolitan areas, that they would that ten times that much for returning a blog post seems unlikely unless caching or other things are misconfigured.
"trying to get aboard the hydrogen train to diversify their future revenue sources" sounds very close to what op claims. For them, the goal is to get aboard, not to get to a destination.
I've found firejail to be a useful tool for this (https://github.com/netblue30/firejail), and additionally use opensnitch (https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch) to monitor for unexpected network requests.

For CI/CD using something like ArgoCD let's you avoid giving CI direct access to prod - it still needs write access to a git repo, and ideally some read access to Argo to check if deployment succeeded but it limits the surface area.
Scott Manley put together a great analysis of why it tipped over: https://youtu.be/ISZTTEtHcTg

TL;DW: It had far too much sideways velocity immediately before touchdown, likely due to some guidance-system failure. It would have crashed even if it was crab-shaped instead of tower-shaped.
To me the only solution is that we need a security in depth approach:

- Create a trusted packages program, and mark trusted packages with a prominent badge. Package authors can apply to join the program, which will involve a review of their package and any subsequent updates. Ensure trusted packages can only depend on other trusted packages.

- Implement a capabilities model for package managers. I hear Deno is better in that respect.

- Have the package manager back-end use AI to continually review the packages. If anything suspicious is found, flag it and investigate manually.

- Require all packages to be name-spaced
Is that the cost of the fuel itself, or the high cost of providing it in a world with little infrastructure?
I used LibreWolf for a long time, and Waterfox before that. Had to leave LibreWolf though because the audio quality was so awful (videos etc).
I know in EU Tesla sales are down compared to previous year while EV sales are up. We do not know for sure how much of this is Elon's comments and support of fascists and how much is other cars getting better, but if we wait more data will be available.
I can totally relate to the premise of the blog post. Thinking (for most people) benefits from some sort of free form scribbling and drawing to make sense of it, and realize what you're missing. At least for me it makes a huge difference.

I remember reading a tip more than a decade ago from a senior developer, that you should always have pen and paper next to your keyboard, to take notes, visualize problems, keep notes of where you are. Most of the thinking happens there.

When I'm working on bigger things alone, it helps me keep track or the bigger picture, how to keep separation of concern und understand where my abstractions started leaking.

Moving that pen and paper to digital unfortunately was never low-barrier for me. I thought about acquiring a reMarkable for that purpose, but it isn't perfect either.

I used excalidraw in the past, but it also does not integrate too well with my environment.

Now, with everyone being remote I would really love to have something that not only replaces my own scribbling and conceptualizing, but also serves as "whiteboard" for collaboration. I clearly clearly miss the whiteboard when discussing abstract things/ideas/problems with peers.

The app mentioned in the post seems a little abandoned unfortunately. Does someone out there use something similar?
Who would search for "Python compiler"?

Those who actually want to produce binaries from their Python scripts, which this doesn't do.
I don't think a tractor is necessary a bad use case for batteries. They just need battery packs which can do the equivalent of a days work. Electric motors are almost better suited to the use case due to the torque. I'm sure some of the US mega farms have tractors which run all night (and the emissions of those are the least of their environmental issues) but this isn't common elsewhere.
That logic could be applied to every app team at Apple, or indeed every other publicly traded software company
