I do. One of the worst parts of today’s internet is how everything has to be a video when a lot of information can be more effectively fine with words. Having a transcript right here with no extra clicks makes the internet a more enjoyable place

Step back to 2016 and don’t run?
Can you not? My ex has always opted out of health insurance because mine was much better. Now that she needs her own, she had to choose between getting it through her employer and getting it through the ACA marketplace
While I entirely agree with all the benefits posted under here, we’d also be subject to the tyranny of regressives. That face eating leopard would feast on those red state seniors focussed on cutting health insurance to “those” people.
Take education as an analogy. That’s mostly run by individual states, and there is a huge range of outcomes. Massachusetts is typically rated as or near the best education system but we pay for it. We recognize it as something valuable and as a good investment. Meanwhile many states/locales seem to see education as only a cost to be minimized. This is one of the reasons I live where I do. But if it were national, we’d lose that choice. One downside of universal healthcare would be that we’d no longer have the choice of investing in something better
I work in tech and have better health insurance than most. I want the same for everyone, not less for everyone, even when that comes with voting for higher taxes
I’D be fine with that. Even with all the offshored parts and supply chain, the auto industry is still a huge part of the American economy, with a lot of related jobs. I want it to continue doing that
However excessive protectionism isn’t a viable strategy when there’s also a renewed commitment to obsolete technology and cancelling anything that would have encouraged change. I suppose this favors established industry in the short term but it really seems like forcing them to buy a shovel to dig their own graves.
The problem is if this is a payoff to musk, helping Tesla succeed at everyone else’s expense. Favoritism toward one specific person or company is never the right choice
In a competitive market we’d have both. I really appreciate what Tesla has been able to do with regular software updates, and that has been a compelling part of that vehicle. But I’m also tempted by Slates simplicity approach: no gadgets, no surveillance
And I’d be fine with this, if it were temporary and if there were also measures to help legacy manufacturers turn it around. I wish legacy American manufacturers would be able to survive The Biden administration passed a comprehensive package to do that, and that’s basically what the legacy manufacturers wrote off as a loss
But the current situation is just exploiting Americans for higher profits on old technologies in the hope that global competition will help legacy manufacturers turn things around. I’m not seeing that. I’m just seeing them even more stuck on dead end technology, with no incentive to change. The excessive protectionism is permanent until we’re ready to bail out failing car manufacturers
I’m happy they did try it, tried something very different even if it didn’t succeed.
But as much as Lemmy wants pickups and that is the most frequently bought vehicle in the US, perhaps that was a bad vehicle type to try. Pickup owners are also stereotypically conservative and excessively brand loyal: there a lot going against you in that market.
Look at Ford, also failing but with the opposite strategy. An EV truck trying to be identical to the existing ICE truck was also not the way to go. Their new strategy of an EV for smaller more affordable pickups seems like a winner to me, but we’ll see
While GM continues to sell their EV pickups following the ford strategy of exactly what they’re selling for ICE trucks, they can’t be making any money with how few they sell, anfpd they’ll never sell more with those prices
No, that doesn’t work. You can charge anywhere.
If you watch that “Technology Connections” video that keeps going around Lemmy, you should not waste your money on a home charging station
- technically you can charge at a standard outlet. It works for some people
- I also have adapters for tool outlets, dryer outlets, rv outlets (a dryer outlet could charge as quickly as the charging stations where I work)
A home charging station is just a convenience. A really nice convenience that I highly recommend, but unnecessary
Power consumed is directly proportional to the weight, distance, and rate of travel
And if we’re trying to be fair, that’s really not true either. There’s a wide range of efficiencies for different vehicles. On the extreme end, if Aptera succeeds, those drivers would pay nothing. More importantly, this also gives them another opportunity to charge unfairly to defend ICE vehicles
Simple weight and miles, regardless of technology and efficiency, and recorded at annual inspection or purchase/sale - ideally also keep the gas tax to help pay for its impact on the environment
I understand the logic of the tax on gas to pay for roads
But even that doesn’t really hold up. Gas tax depending on state, generally covers less than half of road maintenance and is already unfair because of hybrids and other efficient vehicles.
And the bulk of the damage is probably from big trucks anyway
Tesla model 3 starts at $38k now. Somehow teslas went from being expensive vehicles to one of the more affordable EVs and no one noticed.

I just got an Airthings Radon monitor, and the integration with HA went smoothly. As a starting dashboard I have a simple card displaying sensor values.
But I let myself get carried away and got the one with the most sensors. So expected to see history graphs so I can look at trends or events, but it never occurred to me they were all different units and scales. HA wants to create many charts, which is less easy to read.
Does anyone have dashboard ideas on how to display these?

No. I most often see the AI generate python to do things it can’t directly. But this is a huge question: that program could do anything, do you let it?
How do you safely use an AI, anyway? You start with guardrails, like limiting it to read-only, you tell it to plan only, make sure that any data is also held in a safe place, when it prompts you to let it run something, try to understand it first ….. but in order to get any benefit from AI, you have to let it do potentially dangerous things.
