No. Trump was overleveraged and the last bank that would do business with him was Deutsche Bank until he made whatever deal they made with the Russians... Pedo Jr. and Eric both told us they were banking with Russia.
I wouldn't be surprised if the all-in COST of making an AM radio work decently in an EV was at least into the hundreds of dollars.
I doubt this very, very heavily. If it were so they would have told us so already as their excuse. These days the typical radio antenna is an amplified module mounted to the roof, this is now cheap and it gives better reception without the sticking-up aerial or with just a short one.
If you dont want your kids going to school in the dark just change the school hours.
I'm starting to see just how complex this is all going to be and that the only thing worse than daylight savings is not having daylight savings.
Can anybody explain? So we can use the plagiarizing genAI backend to generate software, then we label it as GPL,
Can a person apply a license to code they don't have the copyright to? The answer is no. This code is either infected with a mishmash of copyright from its original sources, or it's not copyrightable at all, and courts haven't decided which but they are both bad.
San Francisco has good mass transit
It has basically functional mass transit, but last time I lived there my commute was 15 minutes by car or 1 hour and 15 minutes by two buses linked by subway. I could probably have walked faster. Now I would dread parking in either neighborhood but then it was feasible.
This is an incredibly short sighted argument for someone calling someone else short sighted. Someone might need updates while evacuating, and their car's radio will have better reception than the portable they are using inside of the car. AM radios work OK inside of cars, but still not as well as a car stereo using the external antenna. It's easier to use and hear while driving. It's a small addition to the cost. Yes, people should have a portable radio for emergencies. Having the car stereo pick up the AM broadcasts is still also useful in emergencies.
It's 2026, and everyone already carries a high bandwidth digital radio with them. It's called a cell phone.
In a real emergency, it is usually worthless, unless maybe it has an FM radio receiver. FM isn't worthless in an incident, it's just not as useful as AM.
AM is good for sending out information during a disaster which includes power outage, when the cellular network will crater whether it's affected by the outages or not. And it will be, because some sites' generators won't work, or they don't have much fuel to begin with. Everyone can have solar and hand crank generators for their phones and still have them be worthless.
Classic Slopdot, I got modded down for my comment while he's using Claude to "write" the code.
Element Pro is not Open Source. So the EU is swapping a shitty proprietary solution for another shitty proprietary solution. And what will they do when the company that developed Element Pro is bought by an American company ? Swap to another one ?! Stupidity and corruption is deeply ingrained in the European Commission.
The best case scenario is that a US company buys Element Pro. Then the EU can institute fines, fines, fines. EU barely creates, it stands at the finish line and extracts money from the winner.
The question was about sea level rise.
If the rising waters coincide with other climatic events, such as rainstorms and high tides, the phenomenon could swallow beaches, chew away bluffs and coastlines
There is a narrative that oh, a few cm of sea level rise is no problem, it's just a little higher water. It isn't.
However, the kinds of multi-million-dollar mansions that celebrities buy aren't the rickety perched-on-the-edge-of-a-crumbling bluff houses built in the 30s and 40s. They tend to be built-by-high-priced-architects homes that had civil engineers to advise about the stability of the foundation.
If AI is ruled a serious risk that requires a government kill switch you won't be running any open weights models on hardware you control. I expect that's what the FSF is afraid of. That's why they refer to it as hypothetical technology as in "assuming such a kill switch was developed".
It might seem far fetched but consider that you are probably (based on the American readership of this site):
- not permitted to buy more than a few grams of effective cold medication per day and have to show ID, which goes in a tracking system, in order to do so.
- while you are allowed to purchase microcontrollers, if you install this on them they are illegal to possess
- possession or use of all manner of chemicals, combinations of chemicals and shaped metal considered dangerous will get you prosecuted with various degrees of zeal
The big AI companies, who already possess the most effective possible actual kill switches, seem oddly enthusiastic about the whole thing.
Not just downlink, but the inter-satellite bandwidth and latency is also likely to be a problem. I saw an analysis of what it would take to build a big datacentre, and there the cooling really does become a problem. Not the radiators so much as the plumbing to move the heat around. So everyone is talking about lots of little satellites, but that means you're restricted to a handful of cards locally. It's going to restrict the kinds of jobs you can do when the next rack over is a thousand kilometres away.
I am impressed that SpaceX has made rocketry so commonplace.
As impressive as it is there is no abort capability for starship and the technology for seats that gimbal through the flip maneuver still don't exist. Falcon's retirement also retires the dragon which is the only proven functional human rated capsule in exchange for Boeing's Starliner and, well we all know just how good that is. Unless of course NASA wants to ask Russia to take American astronauts to ISS.
Then again the only realistically viable lunar lander is Alpaca which by-passes many of the issue both Blue Origin and SpaceX has with their landers. So, IMO, I think there are some compelling arguments to keeping Falcon if America wants to beat China back to the moon who, in reality, are starting to look like they will get back there first.
Of course SLS Block 1B could do the entire thing in single launch IF NASA could afford the tower upgrades.
You do know that even the Kessler syndrom is something that can be fixed with progress in new materials and progress in understanding.
How does materials change orbital phenomenon?
