They are going to keep those coal plants as back up but the amount they use then is decreasing.

At the same time they are rapidly moving transport into electricity and they are growing their electrical demand.

This year should be the tipping point where coal and oil usage drops. Capacity and number of coal is meaningless.

I’d go to one.

I went to Qatar and tried to find out if they did LPG tours. They don’t. :( well at least not easily.

You’re right, nothing compares to one man’s anecdotal evidence.

Averages are much better than edge cases in this sort of comparison.

20 years vs 14

That’s batteries of the past. The rate of change in batteries has been so dramatic it has left people’s understanding behind.

Batteries will far outlive when a ICE car would have been scrapped.

I was using libre tube for a while and that broke.

What’s the best link for revanced?

Honestly in some ways this is such a stupid solution to the problem.

When it comes to cost saving or on the other side of the coin efficiency. The most useful thing is to remove it not make it cheap.

We should be looking and giving people very good and easy alternatives elsewhere were they don’t need call centres at all.

I called my doctors a million times to book an appointment and if I could have done it all online I would have. This is how many times I called:

Went to hospital and Dr told me book drs appointment.

1. called to book

2. they call back asked futher questions

got one (got told to come back by doctor)

3. can’t book that doctor for the future call up first thing in the morning at our busiest and we can rush you in. (I then got a job so needed to book)

4. we have no staff call back when we do (didnt say when)

5. called. We have no appointments call be next week. “Can I book that Dr”? “I don’t know. You’ll have to call back Tuesday”

6. I’ll call back next tuesday.

This isn’t fixed with an AI this is fixed by me being able to book an appointment online. If the Dr needs to give me a slip for one booking approval to not be abused so be it. Receptionist doesn’t need to know my business so fuck them.

Yea but if I want to find something I want to be able to find it.

Man I feel like a large part of the internet is out of reach.

Why have I got to sign up for tiktok just to watch this happen?

Shit like this used to be easily finable on google or something. Now I can’t seem to find shit. All I get get in news articles about it.

My view is it’s pure hypeware until proven otherwise.

This isn’t Tesla hate from my side either. The general consensus from enthusiasts since the beginning is Tesla is way off the mark. But the latest self driving upgrades using more LLM tech has apparently been a big step up. By that I mean going from poor assisted self driving to good assisted self driving. Getting it from there to no driver behind the wheel is another matter all together. Maybe they had a single jump or maybe it’s a new path of consistent progress, I have no idea.

I’m not expecting much from Tesla. I would absolutely love to be wrong.

Expecting more from baidu, pony.ai and zoox more than Tesla. Hell even BYD with the Chinese backing it has might beat Tesla.

I’ve been to Los Angeles and Austin. Is San Francisco seen as a bright sunny desert climate?

Was hoping at this point in time Waymo would be expanding more aggressively.

But no one else seems immediately on the horizon and Waymo is consistently expanding well so they are doing very well indeed.

I’m excited for the last mile problem to be solved and be able to cycle on roads without drivers that actually wish I was dead or playing about on their phone. Also I hate driving.

In a way.

But there was a lot of lies that represented legitimate concerns and remain didn’t really do a good enough job of bringing leave along with them. Pleanty of “we got lied too, no on told us”. No no no no. Remain clearly said the truth and you listened to the lies.

Also fish was fucking weird. Seems like people will die over fish.

But people were told immigration would go down. People have been wanting immigration to go down for 60 years and it’s never happened. First direct vote about immigration going down is obviously going to be a big factor. Didn’t happen though so far right will win soon.

Fucking hell state of the world.

Someone can dislike a woman without being misogynistic. Calling every guy that dislikes any particular woman misogynistic is just sexist. Don’t be scared of offending sexists.

Humans made things for humans.

Rearranging everything is better but more expensive. Sometimes it absolutely will be and has been done. There will be cases where humanoid robot is cheaper and easier. That’s not even bringing up new uses like waiter or carer, but those will be much later generations.

Proof of concept. Speed has already increased and it will.

Lots of companies must be looking into humanoid robots and I know they have already been looking into robotic arms

I was thinking about the US lately. Can’t remember why exactly maybe some friends popped up on my Facebook.

But I decided it actually wouldn’t be that bad of a place to live. If it wasn’t for the toxic work culture.

If they worked normal hours and had 20+ holidays it would be alright. Other shit annoy me and you would have to make sure you live in the nice areas but I could live there and enjoy it. But the work culture is an absolute no go. Wish they were like the Aussie. Show up do hard day of work fuck off for some beers. If the surfs good call in sick and end up seeing your boss in the line up. Work hard for a few months then decide fuck it and go to Bali for a weekend accidentally stay there for two months then decide you need to go back to work because travelling is too much effort walk into a job 1 week after landing home.

Capitalism working as intended.

Supply and demand. In this case means higher wages.

And no, the hypothetical of the robot skyscrapers is not “meaningless.”

It’s not meaningless in itself. Its meaningless to the conversation. It’s literally a hypothetical you invented for no reason. You’re just rambling.

Are you actually trying to claim that if the population was much smaller than it is today total resource use across the globe would be the same?

Because if not my point stands.

A lot of people think rockets can be very profitable. Its just a long term bet and you lack imagination. I would need to check but I’m pretty certain spacex is profitable.

Those other companies are still in R and D.

The only billionaire I know of that is launching rockets is Elon Musk.

That’s just evidence that capitalism is efficient. Because SpaceX has revolutionised space travel making the only reusable rocket doing something all the government agencies said was impossible. NASAs new unbuilt rocket is using tech from the 1970 that they are going to throe away into the ocean on every launch.

The rest you say is meaningless. How you expect this robotic skyscrapers to be built? Some MIT masters project or some capitalist experiment?
