It is more than that. Americans are buying a few more EVs, but by and large most of the sales are going to oversized, overweight, fully automatic SUVs and pickup trucks.

On one hand they've bought into Detroit marketing that tells them that's what they want and need... and on the other, it may in fact be what they need since US obesity rates are at all time highs.

Many simply don't fit in small sedans and sport cars any more.

This isnâ(TM)t about saving money or helping educators. This is the same thing as removing trollies so that people buy cars. Itâ(TM)s about control.

We think this is the economy. But we wouldnâ(TM)t need prison if we spent that same money helping people instead of incarceration. It costs more than housing and college.

There is more money spent spying on each American than helping them. What if we find that âoelow costâ AI actually costs much more than we are told. Why are we using it?

Take away the air and sell it to us.

Sure, and we are looking for thing that cannot.

We are? We're talking about somebody using the term "quantum material", not looking for evidence supporting quantum physics.

Even so, you should be able to pretty easily notice deviations from Maxwell. It's a pain in the ass with film but pretty well any modern CCD or CMOS sensor should be able to detect shot noise from a double slit, crossed polarizer or just plain old light source experiment at tabletop scale. If not, add an ND filter.

'd be very careful about interpreting QM as "how it works".

Yeah, I didn't say that. It's pretty easy to show that both quantum mechanics and Maxwell are not how it works. Your claim that a polarizer is not a "quantum material" because you can explain it's behaviour with a classical theory (in very limited circumstances) really is assuming "that's how it works" though.

Or Slashdot will tell you you need 10 terabytes of the fastest VRAM and a few dozen of the very latest processors from Nvidia.

There it is!

You don't need any RAM at all. You can read each weight from an SSD, a hard drive or a stone tablet. If it's an SSD it's not necessarily "incredibly slow" if you're just playing around and aren't ready to spend fifty thousand dollars on your chatbot. There are benchmarks for running big models on Raspberry Pis for example.

The 50 B generally means you're going to be able to do things like hold most or all of the matrices in memory while you multiply them, which is usually a pretty big performance increase.

Please look up what 3rd world means.

Convenience comes before the rare occasions when it's actually pleasurable to drive a standard day to day. I do not miss a clutch crawling along in traffic or cruising on the highway. And for the in-between bits my car has both a shift by wire stick and paddle shifters if I want to make vroom vroom noises and pretend I'm in F1.

Data centers need to pay for their own energy increase, be closed cooling systems, and not allow withing 5 miles of a residential area, and residence can't be built within 5 miles of a data center.

A contagion tube that slower and vastly more inconvenient. Plus a bigger polluter.
People pushing for everyone to get on the bus have no clue about buses.

Nah. Learn Chisanbop, Korean finger math, instead. An abacus you'll always have with you. Hopefully.

It's just a matter of time. You aren't going to ae a car that receives less then 1 percent of sales. For example.

OH no, did the EV boogie man make an EV model of a car you like? tell, is this EV boogie man in the room with you right now?
Electric mustang concept is fine. There implementation was poor.

wow. Did no take like for sexist douches to post.

" Standards made your mind more limber and aware. "
lol, no.

lol, no. You watch too many youtube vidoes.

lol, no. don't be daft. Manual transmission is an unneeded skill, not a hard skill.
Do you think in the 70s and 80s there wasn't traffic?
