  • I pay 0€ for gas all year long, electricity is currently 0,0187€/kWh

    The money I save from that equation easily pays for a rental twice a year.

  • I have a similar situation and I just rent a car for those twice a year trips 🤷 Still cheaper than paying for gas

  • Range extender hybrids are the goat

    The combustion engine can always run at optimal rpm for torque and the drivetrain is 100% electric

    A LOT simpler to construct too, it’s basically an EV with a built in generator

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

  • Farscape has one of the best character arcs of all TV, Crichton going from a confused astronaut to a nervous wreck to badass is perfection

  • The best argument against the blackout bit: Ukraine

    Every single used budget EV was bought up by Ukrainians when the war started. Nissan Leafs, older Hyundai Ioniqs, Renault Zoes

    Gas stations were bombed and the whole logistic chain for delivering gasoline and diesel was disrupted or prioritised for the military

    But everyone had power at least for a part of the day, so they could charge EVs.

  • They also have the worst of both worlds shoved together

  • Because apparently JPEG-XL is still unsupported nearly everywhere

  • How do you effectively backup your high capacity (20+ TB) local NAS?

  • It’s literally a Raspberry pi 3B+ and a USB hard drive in a plastic storage box at my parents house 😅

  • Do you believe you will still be working in said company in a year without using LLM?

    Are your skills so specific you’re irreplaceable? Or are you as productive without extra tools as your coworkers with them?

  • Online AI might crash, burn and go away

    But open weight local models are here to stay and not going anywhere. We’re not going back to pure intellisense and simple tab completes

  • People don’t read enough hard sci-fi, in a realistic space battle you use missiles and other projectiles because they don’t heat up your ship

    If you have any kind of laser crap, you need to dissipate the heat and that requires surface area

    And that surface area is an easy target for your enemy’s kinetics… take out the cooling system and everyone is cooked alive. Nice.

  • Putin being one, he can effectively use the whole Russian budget as his own piggy bank

    Dude has a billion dollar Dacha protected by the best of the best of Russian military air defence and nobody bats an eye

    The probability of him not doing some heinous shit behind closed doors is zero
