Yeah theyve leapfrogged tesla but they still stole IP to get started. Especially around manufacturing techniques.

Couldnt this be done with email reminders and single sign on?

State subsidies, massive domestic market, stealing IP from Tesla, centralised manufacturing hubs, no environmental regulations or labour laws.

It doesnt mean anything but its good to get these kind of practices while Lemmy is still small. It seems the.migration process has come along way since 2 years ago.

Hopefully one day we can copy and pay entire threads and comments into the new community or have 100% transfer.

you’re retarded

edit: boy I sure do love to procrastinate and talk about energy and co2 instead of studying :|

I feel the same way, but I had to actually focus on real life over the weekend instead of combing through the energy reports. I will start by saying that its very likely that 2024 stats are significantly more in favor of strong renewable growth but I also couldnt find a csv of data on ember-energy so i couldnt look at the actual numbers. The major energy reports I normally go by dont seem to have included 2024 data yet. Its likely that even in 2024 non renewables still increased more than renewables even though china claims that renewables were 80% of the growth I will explain below why this has previously been the case.

China also continues to increase coal generation by more than renewables.

China loves this stat and its a good stat but its a bit misleading, these show renewable energy as a % of total power which is relative instead of absolute. Why this is important is because it allows china to brag about increasing renewables while still massively increasing non renewables.

Year 2022: Renewable = 8114 TWh | Non-renewable = 36401 TWh | % renewables = 18.2% From Energy Institute’s world review

Year 2023: Renewable = 8719 TWh | Non-renewable = 38708 TWh | % renewables = 18.3%

Renewable energy increase was 605 TWh and Non-renewable was 2307 TWh

There is another stat that these reports normally parade around. Its % increase of a specific energy type. (these stats are made up cause i could be fucked finding an example article of a claim) They will say something like solar went from 600gw to 1000 thats a 66% increase this year and coal only increased 40% except coal is 3600gw to 6400.

Maybe I’m wrong and if so i’d love for someone smarter than me to correct me.

They have missed every single renewable target and goal they’re set.

China does this thing where they go to climate meetings and agree on world goals like 13% energy intensity reduction and carbon intensity reduction. They then go back home and broadcast random goals like adding x amount of solar or carbon peak by x year. These are no climate targets, these are personal targets from the CCP that even if achieved (the carbon peak 1000% wont be) are no where close to what is required to meet their climate goals.

Europe has plenty of money apparently to suddenly double defense spending OVER 10 YEARS

I’m not sure how european defense spending is relevant considering china’s defense spending has also more than doubled in the last few years and is nearing the US

Where will the batteries be made I wonder?

Prehaps they would be made in a country with environmental and labour laws if governments legislated properly to prevent companies outsourcing manufacturing. However this doesnt absolve china. China isnt being forced at Gunpoint to produce these goods with low labour regulation and low environmental regulation.

energy prices in the EU are ridiculous

Can someone actually point out to me where this comes from? Even when I look up the peak spike of germany Energy prices it doesnt seem that bad. At the end of the day energy is a small % of EU household spending and ill think that until i see otherwise.

It requires EU importers to pay a levy corresponding to the embedded carbon emissions in 303 emission-intensive products

This would be great, it would have been greater 10 years ago. But the best time to act was yesterday and the 2nd best time is today so i’d be happy to see something like this implemented although I dont know how effective it would be since manufacturing competitiveness is no where close anymore.

They broadly arent really very techy and absolutely hate the idea of anything new. So nah they broadly hate federation and adopting any new platforms.

Especially given that the fediverse already has a culture of being actively anti racism and hate they wouldnt be able to move here without getting instantly defederated and they know this. I’m sure the leftypol commies are already here.

If you subscribe to someone on tumblr then yes. Otherwise i dont think so.

Adoption is actually already there. The problem at the moment is getting people to pay for it because currently they lose money on each prompt even for paying users.

Yeah the .ml must have missed this thread.

While everyone else is paying the costs that come with environmental regulation china is exploiting it and getting celebrated for it. Its insane what a few dollars can do to change peoples minds on a topic.

Nice I love seeing China Greenwashing get reposted. Remember that China is 3x the size of the EU so them having 3x the solar power is a stupid comparison. China also continues to increase coal generation by more than renewables. China is only %27 renewables while the EU is 47%. China is 17% of the world and almost 40% of the emissions.

OECD countries are actually working on emission reduction instead of china which continue to increase emissions with absolute no signs of stopping. They have missed every single renewable target and goal they’re set. But dont worry im sure they will stop building more coal plants in 2030, im sure it wont be to late by then.

Its already waging psychological warfare on me in the workplace. Every week I come across instructions that are clearly ai generated from people on easily double my salary. Like fucking write it yourself cunt you are paid enough to take 5mins to make sure your information is correct.

Judge,I’m pirating them to train ai not to consume for my own personal use.

Why would a librarians info need to be public? Does America require a public database of public servants?

No I think even if they did that I wouldnt trust it. The protocol is 100% controlled by a profit seeking company. That means it will 100% turn into a platform that tries to monitize its users for all theyre worth. Public benefit corporation is a meme and has no actual restrictions.

I think the technical imperfections are not the real reason people are against it. In my opinion it just can’t be trusted to have a corp in control. It would be like having Microsoft own the activity pub repo.

Today i was looking through the top popular shorts in a private tab. It was so depressing there were countless AI slop videos getting 300m views.

People just dont care. Its why I love Lemmy, here the people care about the tech they use and content they consume. People here have standards. But most people arent like that and eventually everyone will be designed for them and there won’t be anything for us and there will be less and less people like us. I love technology and I hate what’s happening to tech so much.

If AI gave you an accurate correct answer 99% of the time would you use it to find the answer to questions quickly?

I would. I absolutely would, the natural language search of ai feels amazing for finding the answer to a question you have.

The current problem is that its not accurate and not correct at a high enough percentage. As soon as that reaches a certain point we’re cooked and AI becomes undeniable.

This may be a dumb question.

Why are we wasting time and money fighting over a legal clause in a piece of free and open source software? Can someone explain why someone would need to sue mastodon? I dont understand what rights people feel they need to demand from mastodon because you always have the option to use it how you choose.

Its expensive to draft and consult lawyers even when its pro bono. It expends time from mastodon project and the lawyers and there is only a finite amount of pro bono work the lawyers are willing to give.
