    Who are those people that kept coal running but claim climate change is a priority? Because they are not the german green party, that much I know.

    And Europe would be in even bigger black-out trouble right now as half of those 20 GW of nuclear power would not be running due to missing cooling water, just like is the case in t…

    The same is, as far as I can grasp it, true for butter, bread, milk and eggs. Only there, it is already established.

    I assume, ultimately western nations will have to adopt what already exists for agricultural goods for production as well. I am afraid it will end as a per-worker subsidy analog to…

    One might argue that this is one of the reason why the EU is getting flak: because it sets up regulations that lower some companies profit.

    Snarky answer: It's simple, they are just going to build the final storage on the border to Germany. Then it will be their problem when it starts leaking.

    Do you have info on that? All the internet tells me that there is a tracking station there, no spaceport. And if one wanted to use a local spaceport, I suppose the Norwegian one wo…

    Other articles write that they are (the one satellite so far) launching with Falcon9 from Vandenberg.

    Wouldn't it be really weird if a open-weight model dropped in performance? Because then, it would rather be the Elo ranking

    Communication wise, the whole thing (4a in my case, but the others seemed similar) was a disaster. But they offered to fix it for free (via battery swap)

    Spammers are probably not targeting you. Like the obvious comma and spelling mistakes in spam emails that are there to weed out the smart people that are much harder to scam, this …

    It also helps that America just made fuel more expensive, making walkability, bikeability and short distances in general more lucrative.

    My Pixel 4a would also still be fine. If Google had not killed the battery. I think by now Google has asked (=paid) people to swap batteries on at least 3 different Pixel phones.

    Given that probably one in twenty people you'd meet would have between 5 and 10% of battery left: probably most of those. (and yes, I know that power banks exist)

    I know plenty. But not among the 18-20 year olds that do not know it any different, sure. But certainly my grandpa. Just thinking that you do not need a power-bank and just bring a…

    By that definition, hydroelectric dams are not a renewable energy source for most of the year.

    It depends on how much generation you expect to 'waste'. Many plans are targetting a lot more generation than demand, with numbers sometimes stated as 300% generation potential for…

    Why is that always posted without stating the magnitude of the effect? The numbers that you find online are around 15% relative loss at 60°C vs. 25°C panel temperatur (I remember a…

    I am afraid, there are far bigger confounders than that (which they supposedly correct for): you absolutely cannot be a taxi driver if you experience short term memory loss. So tho…

    Maybe a naive question: those transactions are traceable. But we assume this admin will not turn itself in. However, such transactions in other nations would be investigated. Are t…

    So, who is paying the bill here? I am assuming the insider trading itself is zero-sum (its obviously different if what's happing happens only to allow insider trading) and while so…

    That sounds quite interesting. Makes me wonder if sooner or later they will have to train multiple independent models that cover those different niches. But maybe we will see that …

    Maybe a naive question: given that they see better performance with more passes but the effect hits a limit after a few passes, would performance increase if they used different mo…
