  • As the U.S. starves it of oil, Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest solar revolutions on the planet — with China’s help

  • Regulatory capture should never be a part of a “Free Market” and that is one of the reasons it is failing us

  • Or you could have both. According to all the testing agencies, modern teslas are among the safest most reliable cars.

    And it’s not just the huge amounts of instant torque that can be a blast, but the noise, or lack of! The silence even under hard acceleration just makes it seem effortless. I also used to feel a thrill with the noise of a powerful gas engine but that feels like an awful lot of effort just to not accelerate well. I seriously feel Ike it’s similar to a stream engine train: “full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing”

  • We tried that. At least twice. One political party decided that investment was “fraud, waste, and abuse”, and shut it all down, driving manufacturing out of the country.

  • Google says 25% of the worlds oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz, but it also says 55% off the worlds oil is used for transportation.

    We should be able to fairly quickly (ie. Decade) cut oil by double what is impacted in trumps war

  • Yeah, let’s send thermodynamics to Guantanamo where we can violate them in freedom, FREEDOM! No interference from those pesky laws of physics, just FREEDOM

  • Unfortunately, that’s arguably still true, in the us. Given the current administration’s desire to roll back the calendar, outside EVs have been effectively banned, and many of the choices we were finally about to get were cancelled.

    If I were looking for a new EV today, Tesla is still by far the most compelling choice available to me.

  • Australia is also central to renewables because of the number of articles on grid storage.

  • That kid should get the top grade for the project. She really proved his thesis that this is something she needs to learn about

  • Oh I totally agree. They are not very useful and even if they were there is also not a market/customer base.

    But Boston Dynamics Optimus is getting pretty decent. There are claims that even at an expected price of $200k, over its lifetime that is cheaper than human menial labor. It can swap out its own battery, so tHere’s at least one useful skill

    The goal of Tesla-bot is to hit $20k. While that doesn’t seem likely, even double that price could be affordable for small offices ….. if it could do stuff.

  • The problem with industrial robots is they really need scale. They’re not practical or useful for anything but very large manufacturing.

    If humanoid robots become a thing, they promise to automate a lot of smaller scale manual work

  • Over 92,000 tech layoffs in just 5 months of 2026: AI replacing jobs faster than expected as Meta, Microsoft, Amazon job cuts trigger fear in US

    Jump

  • My company is in there somewhere, however the layoffs weren’t that big and seemed well targeted. Especially the number of middle managers

    And were spending way too much on ai. No guardrails. No limits. Reviewed partly on how high your ai spend is

    I’m definitely worried, since I don’t spend enough

  • All the real developers are using Macs. BRO, do you even code?

  • I’ve been suffering from too short an attention span. I keep ending up. scrolling on my phone while waiting for ai to spew its slop, and have been caught too many times

  • Part of the scoring at my company is how many generated lines of code you accept.

    Going back to the beginning of the year, I think I’m up to 6

  • What's an interesting etymology for a common term?

    Jump

  • Think of the language like units in a math problem.

    “East” (English) is more literally “East”

    Than “Leste”( Portuguese), even if it translates to the same

    If you make an analogy with temperature:

    • 212°F is more literally “212” than 100C even if they are both the boiling point of water

  • GitLab Act 2 - A letter to our customers and our investors.

    Jump

  • I would have liked it just for the integration with code reviews, but we didn’t even get a chance to try because “it’s too expensive” ….. as we’re migrating from on-prem infrastructure licensed per site to cloud infrastructure charged per usage, and with no valid cost comparison

    Jump

  • I hope not: we’re migrating from Gitlab to GitHub. I was never a fan because of the lack of enterprise features in GitHub (folders, with more granularity of settings and permissions, scalable usability), and certainly GitLab CI was extremely limited but wtf

  • Plex’s price hikes prove I was right to switch to Jellyfin

    Jump

  • I can’t comment on Plex vs JellyFin, but it’s an interesting perspective that $3/mon for remote access is too much

    I use another piece of opensource software, where I consider that a plus. It takes the headache and security issues off my hands, while I can support the developers with a small contribution for an optional feature

    Any experience with e-ink displays?

  • I recently ordered a Trmnl, because it looks like they do what I want, and I keep not doing it as a project. I haven’t gotten it yet but ….

    My impression is it’s more of a finished product, not a project. If there is a plugin doing what you want, then it’s a simple configuration. However if you want to customize, you may need to pay for a developer account
