Honestly I think Zelensky’s best play at this point is to agree to whatever with some token resistance, and immediately buy nukes from France, then cancel the deal. Trump/Putin have proven too many times their word doesn’t mean shit. Any treaty with them is worth less than the paper it’s written on. Treat them as such.
When there’s too much to scrutinize, there’s no reason to give the benefit of the doubt. Assume guilty until proven innocent, and just work from there. Any mistaken guilt is the fault of the guilty for creating the situation in the first place.
Putin is out of infrastructure targets, and is worried about his refineries getting drone strikes. This isn’t a cease fire, it’s just a protection agreement for Putin.
Pretty sure being stuck with a Tesla right now, doesn’t mean you need to be on a hit list.
Besides, we can already see them on the road, we don’t need any other sign they’re an asshole.
He’s bigly mad he can’t cry about Hunter any more.
At the moment it’s more like not ever. There’s a logarithmic decrease in gains from throwing more processing at LLMs, and we don’t have a model for AGI that wouldn’t require more knowledge than humans possess.
We don’t want to threaten him, we want to tell him to fuck off into retirement. Threats just make politicians go turtle.
It’s about time sanctions and war spending are finally breaking through Putin’s defenses.
Personally I support arming the homeless.
Most people don’t get to high speed cruise any more. Our highways are too packed. Even when they’re not, there’s always those two guys that have to drive side by side for 30 miles just to get in everyone’s way.
Pretty much, it’s the most efficient land transport so far. The only issue is scaling, and also most people don’t need an ICE engine of any sort the majority of the time. Thus, making them optional and replacable is the solution to scaling, and fuel variety.
Something like the Chevy Volt will end up being the future. Except the generator will be removable and replacable to handle different fuels. If not on the fly, then as basic options at purchase.
Should have just put a generator in the bed. Charge while driving non stop. Works for my boat.
I think republicans would be surprised by how many white people depend on those programs. They’re in full FAFO mode right now.
He doesn’t need to take bullets, he just need to take the exit, and get out.
We’re using a smelter on fired pottery to see what works. Might shatter from the heat, will have to see how it goes.
Acceptable? No. Necessary? Well that gets a lot more grey.
Yeah, he’s one of the soft targets that should be hiding in a bunker if Trump decides to invade Canada. Not because it would save him, but it saves time on burial if he’s already underground.
The Panamanian government should have the entire canal mined with dead man switches immediately.
There’s distinct limits to modularity. Making a standard box size means it’s not really the right size for some things, so it’s wasted space, or bad design choices, to make other things fit. Sometimes it works out better, custom PC parts for instance, other times not so much. Israel tested out a standard battery size with drive through swapping. No waiting for a charge, just drive up a ramp, battery drops out the bottom, new one gets shoved in. It worked, kind of. It turns out the bottom of a car is a harsh environment. There were a bunch of issues that overall didn’t make it better than just plugging into an outlet and waiting. Given the market demands we’re going to end up somewhere between nothing modular, essentially disposable cars, and fully modular replace full systems at the drive through cars. My bet is that batteries will end up fixed, embedded, or otherwise integral part of the vehicle, while charging methods evolve around them. It’s easy enough to drop a mini trailer genset behind an electric car right now. So it’s just a question of when that becomes a real product with more integrated construction. Trucks with a bed make the most obvious early platforms to me. Typical low range usage that needs the bed space, and occasional long distance travel, covers a lot of pick ups use cases. That would be perfect for huge fleets of trucks in the US.
