Question is… How much cheaper…

LFP is almost at the price point we could all have a freezer sized battery pack in our house, drastically changing the grid, and allowing a place for all that wind/solar to store energy.

If Sodium is a fair chunk cheaper, then it will totally be worth buying a house battery pack. Buying energy on the cheap at certain times of day, and using the battery when energy prices are high.

spokesman for Russian President Vladimir President has said.

Sounds like a trusty news source…

BTW, Commodore got bought out.

They are releasing C64 again.

Train a model on nothing but drama,

(Just about all written text is drama, otherwise it wouldn’t be written down, whether it’s internet comments or stories)

Your output will always be drama.

Yeah, the original was way more entertaining, agreed.

But the original didn’t really touch on the Ghost in the Machine-esque nature of blurring that line between man/machine.

Also the premise that they did it just to have a ‘mobile tank’ on the streets of Chicago was meh…

The premise of the newer movie, where they had to have a hybrid person in to push the narrative to achieve public opinion/support to allow robotic drones to roam the streets so they can make that sweet military industrial complex money and keep the plebs in place?

Yeah… way more believable, if not a direct prediction of exactly what is to come.

Robocop 2014

I think its extremely underrated.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, because out of all the sci-fi movies I’ve seen in the last two decades, this one has a very high likely chance of playing out exactly as indicated in the film.

We will blur the line between man and machine, and eventually have a identity crisis.

We will very likely see autonomous drone platoons being coordinated by a few or single human operator.

Those drones will likely be deployed in a military fashion first with push-back on deploying on home soil as a police force.

Until they will inevitably be deployed and used against civilians.

Also kudo’s to the scene where he is stripped down to the bare parts, and the entire theater went quiet. There’s a level of existential dread, when your ‘being’ is laid bare that the reality is… you… everything about you… is just a small clump of grey matter.

Yeah, but those consequences are a direct result of poor infrastructure to facilitate the technology. Not the technology itself.

The consequences are more about these light motorized vehicles interacting with either cars/trucks meant to go faster and be larger, or interacting with pedestrians or non-motorized devices.

If they had their own dedicated pavement like the other two, most(not all) of those ‘consequences’ disappear.

The problem is infrastructure.

We have pavement for trucks/cars at >30km/h… We have pavement for pedestrians <5km/h

What we lack is the dedicated pavement for the stuff in between.

Regulating these light-motorized devices to be banned on the other two has been the real issue of acceptance and adoption of the tech.

We want to reduce traffic and oil consumption and can’t figure why people buy larger vehicles in North America?

number of fatal traffic accidents

Yeah, the issue isn’t the light motorcycles/mopeds/etc…

So dude is right, a whole class of vehicle is being being held back by regulation, and the premise/reason is ridiculous for a society that would like to see less cars on the road.

Domokun

Unfortunately in the white collar world.

it was instead of my regular work,

‘regular work’ typically isn’t covered by someone else.

It piles up until you get to it.

Eric The Viking

Is it truly a deviation from outsourcing code to a 3rd party?

requests that Midjourney be made to pay up for the damage it has caused the two companies.

good luck proving and putting an accurate number to that perceived ‘damage’?

No they’re not.

ya buddy?! Well you can just goto EOL

EDIT: I should probably premise this that EOL in this funny context is End-Of-Line, which is an old programming term. I’m not referring to End of Life.

spelling goto as one word.

No. the reason unions exist is to

• Force Companies to Protect their workers well being and provide better working conditions
• Force Companies to share the profit of the company with the employee’s

Unfortunately a side effect is that unions also protect the stupid/incompetent/lazy to the detriment of the company AND union.

ahh… I was wondering when people were going to start talking about Tariffs in relation to streaming services and purchasing software…

The same thing its been for the last 20 years?

I don’t seem to understand your question.
