Comment Re:Not sure, we've been all electric over 2 years (Score 1) 283

There have been some improvements in power regulation available to this market since the '70s

The only method of having the same power throughout the entire charge is to limit the amount of power output when the battery is full. With gasoline, I get the same power output regardless of how much is left in the tank until the tank is entirely empty.

That being said, if I had a garage, I would likely own at least one electric car. I do own plenty of other electric vehicles that I can store and charge inside.

How is that different from those who create a FOSS project to create a FOSS alternative to a commercial product?

It is different because of "who" is writing the code. If I do it, I can claim copyright. If an AI does it, it can not claim copyright.

The laws will change to allow this; but, currently, AI work can not be copyrighted.

I do not see how they are extracting anything unless they are also lying about the code being generated from an AI.

Code generated by an AI can not be copyrighted. Richard Stallman's dream; however, Malus absolutely WILL lie about the source code so they can retain copyright. The crimes almost write themselves at this point.

Exactly and the apartment thing is just solved with time really.

No. It is not. Once an apartment building is built, there is no further maintenance or upgrades. An apartment complex was just completed near to me. It has exactly zero charging available. These buildings typically last 50 years or more.

Long story short, unless you live in a house, an electric vehicle is going to be an albatross on your neck for your lifetime.

They might have to get off their asses and do some actual innovation instead of selling high margin barges on 8 year $1000 a month loans.

LOL. They will never do that. They will just bring in more laws and tariffs to protect their business interests. Same old song and dance. There will be no further innovation, there will only be consolidation of power.

I think you fundamentally misunderstand what is going on here. There is a small group of people who think they own the world. People like you and I are background noise, to be quieted whenever. They are fighting amongst themselves and that is what is important. Who cares about background noise except when it interferes?

Or in other words, healthcare and welfare are an unnecessary expense that might get some amount of lip service at certain times, but is otherwise completely irrelevant to ruling the world.

Any time that I see the word UFO and how it might be relevant to current day events, I know that I am dealing with a crazy person or someone who deals in conspiracy theories for ulterior purposes. There has never once been any solid proof of ANY intelligence originating outside of this planet. While I am certain there is such an intelligence, I am equally certain it has never been here.

Kash isn't even bright enough to realize the lawsuit discovery process is going to fuck him royally.

You wish. Trump will "fire" him and if that is not sufficient, Trump will then pardon him. There is no way Patel is going to get fucked unless he angers Trump. Look at Noem and Bondi.

It is logically impossible to prevent a general use tool from every specific action that you would like to prohibit. What the fuck is wrong with you? I was not educated, but I am betting that you were and you should absolutely know this principle.

Every idiot who has watched Halloween knows that you can't restrict a hammer to just pounding in nails.

Osama bin Laden was not on any of the planes that flew into buildings. All he did was sit there and help plan and train the people who did it.

Are you seriously comparing the roles of ChatGPT and Osama bin Laden? If so, you are intellectually bankrupt. ChatGPT did not originate any ideas about "attacks", bin Laden did.

If you can not see the difference or deny that there is a difference, then you are either defective or a hostile actor.

Study after study show kids do better in school, are more engaged, and more social when Pokemon cards were taken out of school.

No shit Sherlock. At school, you are supposed to be paying attention to the curriculum. There is nothing special about phones or Pokemon cards here. Whatever the full details of the scheme here, they have gone too far for reasons NOT related to helping children focus in schools.

If a teacher finds a student doodling on paper when they should be paying attention, what does the teacher do? Typically, the teacher takes away the doodles and tells the children to learn. Phones and Pokemon cards are in the same category... and yet you do not hear about weird laws pertaining to doodling... so why special laws about phones that include tracking mechanisms and such?

Stupid morons are actually debating this as if it is seriously for the benefit of the children. It is purely for the convenience of the surveillance state. That is all.
