Comment Re:Well, one large step for a company, one small s (Score 1) 94

But if you put the solar panels on your house instead of the car, it will be cheaper, and you can use the power for other things when the car doesn't need it.

I have an EV and panels on my roof. I never use the power from the panels to charge my EV. It makes more sense to feed the solar power into the grid during the day (when electricity is expensive) and charge my EV from the grid at night (when electricity is cheap).

The only advantage I can see for putting the panels on the vehicle is if you're stranded in the desert. How often does that happen?

Then why is it every few months we hear stories about them being on the verge of bankruptcy?

We don't. GameStop faced bankruptcy in 2021 but has been cash-rich since then.

In 2021, short sellers piled on, but were subjected to a crowd-sourced squeeze, causing the share price to soar.

GameStop cashed in on the squeeze by issuing new shares, raising billions in cash.

If AI can download for free than everyone else had better be able to

The issue is stuff that everyone else can already download for free.

Can an AI learn from material on the web that is already viewable by the public?

Capitalism should apply the same to everyone

That's what the capitalists are saying.

It's the artists and authors claiming that "AI is different."

Comment Re:No more USAID paying for Bill Gates Philanthrop (Score 2) 110

Why doesn't Gates just buy Greenland?

A Trump spokesperson suggested paying $57 Billion for Greenland, or $1M for each of 57,000 residents.

An informal poll found that most Greenlanders would accept the deal if it were put to a referendum.

Bill Gates has a net worth of about $110B, so he could afford it.

Comment Re: Just like the Honey Bee problem (Score 1) 49

It's kind of interesting that if bees are actually doing better, they are doing so in spite of climate change

Honeybees are doing better because of restrictions on neonicotinoid pesticides and better education.

My mom is a beekeeper and is involved in educating local farmers about when and how to spray.

Farmers should use more bee-friendly chemicals and spray crops before blossoms form or after they drop off. They should also inform local beekeeper organizations of their spraying schedules so hives can be sealed on specific days.

We're doing better at all of these things.
