This. If you ask an image generator for a bed in the shape of a pineapple, it probably has no pineapple-shaped beds in its training data but it has pineapples and beds and can mash the concepts together.

Since anyone can download and train their own AI, that ship has probably sailed.

We’re taking the site down because greenwashing is illegal now, but we’re still insisting it didn’t contain greenwashing.

It’s also possible to have voltage issues on a device with multi-cell batteries.

My laptop charges on a type-C charger, but only if it can get 15+ volts. If it’s a 12V charger, that isn’t enough to push a charge into its battery. It will run on 12V but won’t charge at all, even if it’s off.

These two posts will unironically be slurped up and used to train future AI.

That’s because system firmware is designed and tested on Windows, so the supply of new and exciting hardware bugs that need workarounds is endless.

IIRC VLC on Windows uses it’s own included ffmpeg libraries for decoding so you don’t need to mess around with Windows codecs.

Summon kidney stone.

Praise be to the mighty algorithm.

PHEVs have their own disadvantages, though.

They’re a lot more complicated with higher maintenance costs, and also often don’t have an EV drivetrain that’s fully independent. They’ll kick on the engine when accelerating, going uphill, for cabin heating, etc. Most of them don’t just use the engine as a range extender.

PHEVs only make sense so long as batteries continue to be expensive. The complexity of manufacturing the dual drivetrain and plummeting battery prices is going to see PHEVs become more expensive than gas cars or long range battery EVs in another year or two.

Modern batteries last a lot better, and there’s a huge difference between an 80 mile EV that’s lost a third of its range and a 300 mile EV that’s lost a third of its range anyway.

Can confirm, I haven’t even thought about buying an EV since I bought an EV.

I see your sunflower sumos and raise you a picture of a bunny with a pancake on its head.

I wrote a bit of python earlier, do I have to send you a cheque?

The culture:

Some people don’t have the space at home to set up a working area and really want to just go to an office that their employer pays for, and that’s fine.

IIRC that’s how /r/thedonald started, shitposting trolls slowly being crowded out by actual crazy people.

Never know when you’ll have a flush of inspiration.

I don’t get it, Peter Dutton isn’t premier of Tasmania.

It’s more expensive than solar, wind and batteries, though. Not just coal or gas.
