It’s not about money, it’s because Musk thinks self driving cars should work with only vision because human drivers do so as well, and nobody was able to push back against him.
For other great Musk driven design decisions, see the Cybertruck. And IIRC the lack of physical door handles as the frameless doors have to open the window a little first or the weather seal gets damaged.
It’s not a publicly traded company.
When you notice some company being way less shitty than others for apparently no reason, that’s almost always the reason.
They just need to paint bigger Z’s on their stuff, I’ll be fine.
Which is mostly an issue because dealing with the brine inadequately is way cheaper than doing so properly. It’s much easier to just dump the concentrated sludge back mostly as is than it is to build the necessary infrastructure to dilute and distribute it safely.
If Coca Cola didn’t turn 2800 million litres of water into soda, people would drink that 2800 million litres of water in some other form anyway. Same goes for any company that creates drinks of any kind, it isn’t “consumed” in the process. If water ever truly can be, it always evaporates and rains down somewhere.
And depending on where you live versus where it’s bottled, not doing so might in fact be rather disastrous. In many densely populated areas of the world the scarcity of fresh water is cause by the water cycle not being balanced - water is gathered from vast area and piped to a city, but when it is “consumed” and returns to the water cycle, it doesn’t rain back to those collection areas. Like for example, most of the entire west of the United States.
Damn, Coca Cola is consuming all of our water, soon we will have nothing left to drink.
It’s a bit more complicated. Tuike tried to argue that the project wouldn’t need that assessment as it wasn’t being done as part of commercially selling trees from a natural forest as a “natural resource” as the law was worded, and they tried to ask for a “case by case” exemption that would allow them to start the clearing without having to wait for the whole lengthy assessment process to go through the systems. That exception got rejected because “Forest nature does not only mean forests in their natural state, but also forests used for forestry” (the Finnish words being “luonnonvara”, “metsäluonto” and “luonnontilainen metsä”.)
They might have been technically fine had they not sold any of the trees. But, I mean, what else can you do with 300 hectares of trees?
Same with the Steam Deck. I’ve actually been using an 18W charger as my travel one for ever since I got it, and as the highest power draw I’ve seen is 26 Watts (BG3 at Act 3 at full brightness), the difference is 8 Watts and the 40Wh LCD battery allows playing for over 5 hours straight before empty.
But most of the time you are playing something lighter, and it gets you enough life that you’d be able to play the entire day no problem, and have it charge back up during the night.
Caffeine be like:
One big change is going to be the “new” console generation. The PS4 has set the minimum target hardware for well over a decade, but the switch to focusing on the PS5 will mean that soon devs don’t have to keep targetting hardware from 2013 to make sure their game can run on it, which will result in quite a massive bump in the low end requirements for PC users.
1080 TI from 2017 is honestly way too close in performance against 30/40/50 generation xx60 TI cards.
I’m not sure if that makes the 1080 TI impressive, or mid-range of the last three generations rather pathetic.
The fertilizer is often shit. Chicken shit, to be exact, but others are used as well.
89 million eligible people didn’t vote, more than either candidate got votes. If you start from that, only 32% voted for Trump.
A good showcase of the AI Effect.
AT Machine. CP resuscitation. GP System. PC board. I Technology. AE Defibrillator. PI Number.
Better :) ?
You don’t use LLMs to look for cancer, you use purpose built image recognition AIs, and they do help as showcased in the MASAI trial.
Because people want to set the fridge temperature precisely to 6C, and not turn a century old tech of a mechanical thermostat located inside it to an arbitrary setting between “off” and “three”.
And if you want to be able to do that, an electronic switch is literally the only way: you now have a computer that is responsible of doing “if current_temp > set_temp then compressor = on”. When that computer stops working, so does the fridge.
Not an issue if that’s the only thing that computer does. Probably an issue if it’s complicated enough to support Xbox live streaming so you can play Doom on it.
Funny thing, here in Finland when we started allowing 17 year olds to get a license much easier, the accidents caused by 17 year olds skyrocketed! …And the accidents caused by 18 year olds and older reduced by roughly the same amount.
It’s kinda like the age isn’t really the issue, but maybe people who have just gotten a license aren’t actually experienced, good drivers yet?
Nigeria’s National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control is now enforcing a nationwide ban on alcohol in sachets and small plastic containers, which it said are easily accessible to children and young people.
Hopefully those sachets and small plastic containers weren’t used to sell proper alcohol at any point, because prohibition and restricting access is how you get more deaths from methanol poisoning, not fewer.
Haven’t you heard, the US secretary of state Marco Rubio said it’s open.
“There’s almost as much oil flowing out now as there was before this conflict began.” he said.
You see, in the US, 5-11% is almost as much as 100%.
