The numbers suggest that said hostile community is actually very small, or that it never intended to contribute to the site in the first place. As opposed to Wikipedia for example, where the very hostile admins and moderators actually add a lot of content.

Did you manage to get it to search local files too, like the default integration does? Would appreciate a pointer (trying with ollama + Qwen/Nemo).

Better check what crypto.js is actually doing in your exact setup. Weak polyfills exist...

These large trucks must go. While the mentioned numbers make some economic sense (cost per tonne transported etc.), the road wear is excessive due to the fourth power law. Most cargo can be split into smaller chunks.

Haters will say a major factor in still using Perl is the difficulty to replace up to 25+ years old Perl code written at startup pace AND the difficulty to teach old Perl devs a new language.

The domain was a gift by the founders of inode (former Austrian ISP) and the website grew pretty fast after the brand change in 1999.

But it curiously turned out that while Austrians mostly like the name (notable exeptions were delusional marketing people of "premium brands" considering advertising on the site), Germans are really not so fond of it. Cultural differences, I suppose.

I won't complain about this new world of "algorithmic desire" because my desires provide me with interesting and enjoyable content (none of Mr. Beast).

Perhaps the problem isn't the algorithms of yt and Tik Tok, but rather the people who decide to watch these things instead of moving on?

It's pretty evil to troll people into giving them e-mail and name and then have the audacity to ask for a phone number. Without giving people who don't want that the possibility to delete the previously entered personal data...

Tactical nuclear weapons for example.

> That is very far from the truth - please check the recent events

You are forgetting or ignoring Russia's bigger guns. If Russia wanted to use NATO methods, it would be over in one day with hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties.

> For multiple decades Russia was using energy as a way to corrupt EU.

"Interesting" narrative.

> If Ukraine falls, Russia will invade Europe in a decade with Ukrainian military on its side.

If Russia wanted to attack NATO and start WW3, it would already have done so. Why would it need to attack Ukraine first?

Please try to think logically.

> Europe need to remove its dependence on the Russian gas completely for its own safety.

The same as above applies. If Russia wanted to conquer Europe as you seem to believe, independence from Russia's gas isn't going to help in any way to prevent that.

Putting NATO soldiers on the ground is equivalent to declaring WW3, few are willing to do that.

Therefore, Ukraine's fate is sealed and the outcome is dictated by Russia's desires.

The open question is how long it will take and at what cost, to Ukraine, its allies and Russia. And it seems that there are vested interests in prolonging the conflict as much as possible.

AI-generated media in general will likely plunge us into a new dark age. Every report you see on the news, every "secret recording" of a politician doing something dodgy, will be either an AI generated fake or considered as such by many viewers. Nothing will be certain anymore and MSM have already lost their credibility for many viewers.

Someone should build stackable, pluggable shipping containers with a battery in the floor, to power both container ships and trucks.

Tesla?

> I bet if you correct for the effect of GDP per capita, they will rank near the bottom among European countries too.

If you start correcting for other variables, you'll have to look at demographics, size and flatness of the country, prices, public transport availability, population distribution between rural and urban areas etc. etc.

Relatively poor Romania has a lower number of cars per capita and if you live in Bucharest like me, you'd believe everyone owns a car (half being Dacias), nobody rides a bicycle.

Danes still own as many cars as everyone else, it's not really an outlier and the number of cars per capita is growing.

Bicycles compete with public transport, not cars.

Also: > The Vehicles per 1000 people of Denmark is similar to that of United Kingdom, Qatar, Czech Republic, Estonia, Ireland, Dominica, Barbados, Bermuda, Bulgaria, Slovak Republic with a respective Vehicles per 1000 people of 516, 514, 495, 494, 491, 470, 439, 422, 417, 382 (per 1,000 people) and a global rank of 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43.

Therefore, this article is just the usual activism without substance.

I'm actually surprised that parasitic infection rate with native parasites (where humans aren't an accidental host) was so low at 30% or less. That would mean the existing treatments were rather effective. Just for comparison, https://www.africaontheblog.org/one-billion-1000000000-negle... claims that half the world's population hosts at least one species of worms.

And still you're typing repetitive text. My dad was punching cards and able to read code from punched tape. I grew up writing code on a home computer's display. And now, 35 years later, it's long overdue that some visual NoCode tool should be the default for mostly repetitive programming jobs. If I want to build a Finder Quick Action to resize an image, for example, I certainly won't open a C editor, I'll just use Automator.

This will just make rents more expensive.

The whole idea of a "scientific consensus" is flawed as it's being used. Here, DM is the dominant theory in the scientific community at this time, but there are strong arguments against it, how can one call that a "consensus"? It's just the dominant theory.

As GDP includes earnings from investments in foreign countries (which at least Germany does plenty of), this is a somewhat moot point.

> Can we get that below 10 for regular highway driving, say at 130km/h?

Probably not with normal-sized cars.

For the Model 3, the theoretical minimum is 13.8 kW. This increases linearly with drag coefficient and area (as seen from the front). You would have to build a significantly smaller (flatter, narrower) car and improve the drag coefficient (0.2 has been achieved) to get there.

Here's a calculator in German (sorry) for experiments: http://spare-benzin.de/Fahrphysik/Luftwiderstand/Luftwiderst...

From my perspective as someone who wrote and moderated his own NIH forum in 2000 - still in use today - the main reasons for the slow decline in usage both by users and publishers were:

- the move to media-heavy content (images and video) and the problems integrating this seamlessly into discussion forums and moderating it (as a non Big Tech publisher)

- the increased politicisation of online discussions and more complex legislation regarding "hate speech", privacy etc., all of which make hosting and moderation of user-content platforms unattractive for all but the biggest publishers, so most moved to FB groups or similar platforms to reduce the effort required to moderate.

- non-threaded forums suck and threaded forums don't work well on mobile phones

- I suspect, but don't claim to know, that the bad quality of popular forum software and consequently many forums getting "owned" regularly with all dire consequences for users played some role in this.

> Nobody would care about the slipped FSD timelines if they hadn’t paid for it. Tesla’s mistake was charging for it.

I paid for it (€2500 or 3000 I don't remember) and I'm not stressed. I have the world's best "autopilot" (EAP) already in my 5 years old car and it's getting better and better.

Other vendors would have sold me a parking heater at that price (or higher).

My point is that the tone of the article is "the company is doomed" when all that is doomed is perhaps the previous high stock valuation.

I don't really understand the tone of this article. Estimates are that they lost 1% of subscribers in Q2 while stock price is down 70% this year. Are they going broke? Apparently not. Is the stock price already very low? Yes, it appears to have priced in an even greater loss of subscribers than expected. What is going on here?

> and they are just becoming one of the 50 EV car makers out there.

The Model Y was recently the best-selling car regardless of technology (i.e. overall best-selling passenger car) in several countries. Most notably, last month in China.

Why should it? It's geting really good.

I've had nothing break after 5 years so far. Best car I've ever had (previously: VW Passat, BMW 525iX, BMW 530xd).

> Does anybody seriously think Karpathy would step down if FSD was really close to be released ??

Life is not only about work. I stepped down from the company I funded after 14 years, it never stopped growing after that. Some people just get bored after doing one thing for a long time and want to explore other areas, especially if they always had broad interests.

> It really starts to feel like Tesla is a huge fraud which is about to be uncovered.

I seriously doubt that my Model S will somehow stop working so well and turn out to be just a fake car after 5 years.
