The cheapest Tesla battery is 5k. The average American spends 2k a year on gas. You have to budget for gas for 3 years to have the price of your battery. Gas will keep costing you forever. The batts are rated for 200 000 km, and there are warranties if they start losing their charge too early so it’s very hard to have to pay for a replacement before you come into your money.

Its impossible to not come out on top if you factor in the gas, it just seems like a no brainer to me. I haven’t seen your other comments, I just now the reasons you listed under mine simply aren’t valid.

If you can’t afford or need a new vehicle, that’s completely fine. The used market for EVs is just not good and keeping your old car is always better than getting a new car, regardless of how it runs.

How much money do you spend in gas every ten year? Do you really think it’s less then a new battery? Not to mention the price of batteries are dropping like a stone.

Ice vehicles still need mining to produce. The one time cost is practically the same and quickly becomes unimportant when you compare the cost of running them. It’s fine if you want to keep using your old vehicle or if the only vehicle you can afford is the cheapest ICE, but buying an ICE vehicle when there are evs at the same price literally means you are part of the problem. Whatever extra cost there is after that in terms of battery replacement pales in comparison to the constant cost of gas so it isn’t a valid reason.

Do not minimize the effects of constantly burning gas. It is more than not ideal, it is leading to a complete collapse of our ecosystem.

Do you close your eyes every year whenever a new spill happens, or another thousand acres get burned? Call me when the tech industry is causing shit like that. Not that they aren’t doing bad things, but saying “what about them” when the crimes of the oil barons is soo much greater is farcical.

Building a carless society will take time but we need to get rid of gas right now. The difference of emission for the use and manufacturing of an EV is absolutely not close to the cost of use and manufacturing of an ice vehicle PLUS literally burning gallons just to move it.

Oil companies, their assets and the assets of the barons who own them should be violently seized and used to offset the cost of what they created. Until that happens, we will have to suffer a bit or we will be stuck suffering so much more probably sooner than we think.

Crows laying traps for other birds would be wild. Survival books sometimes talk about laying snares for birds in trees using wire.

“They’ve built a library of small building blocks for character movements. These blocks can be combined in various ways to create a wide range of animations.”

That’s what they patented. Their animations a tiny bit more modular. The patent and copyright system is literally only their to fuck us.

There isn’t any open source solution possible if AI models are beholden to copyright laws.

This is advocating for a world where only a handful of companies would be able to train AI models, and the rest of us would become their pets as we move towards an AI driven society.

The artist and writers already lost, there is no going back. Now we see if we all win together or if only google, openai, shutterstock, Adobe, stack overflow, github and reddit win since they are the only ones with the data or able to pay for it.

The shadow part is usually implied, I’m surprised to see it actually written

Very cool!

To add to the other reply, you also don’t need to watch a full video, they register slight pauses as you scroll. They also build a profile using all their platforms and multiple types of data.

Go to the press, make it public. They will only hurt you to silence you, once it’s out there, it’s too late. The press would love this story too

It’s about a dystopian future, where health are services are stretched so thin that having access to them depends on a lottery.
