I low key believe gen Z would be better than millennials and gen X (age excluded here). They like going to the gym and eating well so they would be better shape than the crop from 10+ years ago and they would enjoy the training. They all got social anxiety and don't know how to act in public which means they would enjoy being told what to do all the time. They got a headstart by playing shooter games for 18 years. They will be good all the lingo and codes because it would just be a new form of memes for them. They all about maxxing this shit and maxxing that shit and self help so when their dopamine and hormones levels drop from their social media shit to war levels that will be an improvement for them so they will like it. There is no sense of community anywhere so the army will be the closest thing that have so any natural form of life.

Sounds like 23andme did you a solid.

You have a lot of reasons to by them and it's absolutely a good purchase. A man needs shoes so get them.

It's not a treat in anyway, but "treat" yourself and enjoy the purchase without concern. I've spent that much on beer in a night and forgotten it because I was pissed. Don't feel bad about this.

They are going to keep those coal plants as back up but the amount they use then is decreasing.

At the same time they are rapidly moving transport into electricity and they are growing their electrical demand.

This year should be the tipping point where coal and oil usage drops. Capacity and number of coal is meaningless.

I'm like how these high mileage vehicles are turning electric.

Been noticing more electric buses, Tesla's as taxis, wv ID buzz as trademans vans, and delivery vans being electric. Great places to start.

I'd go to one.

I went to Qatar and tried to find out if they did LPG tours. They don't. :( well at least not easily.

It's going to be like a credit score soon.

I'll just set up my government backed tiktok and like some videos about how Palestine Genocide is Antisemitic bullshit, how Israeli is great, how great paid medical care is and then I can travel to America. Got to give them my non voluntary, voluntary tip for entry though, only 20% of flight cost (but they will give me a dirty look for it being so low).

More of a joke.

American trains do suck compared to other trains.

You're right, nothing compares to one man's anecdotal evidence.

Averages are much better than edge cases in this sort of comparison.

20 years vs 14

"Key Points

  • Alphabet reported Thursday that Waymo, its autonomous vehicle unit, is now delivering more than 250,000 paid robotaxi rides per week in the U.S.
  • That figure is up from 200,000 in February, before Waymo opened in Austin and expanded in the San Francisco Bay Area in March.
  • Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said Waymo is building partnerships with ride-hailing app Uber, automakers and operations and maintenance businesses that tend to its vehicle fleets."
 

Figure AI, a robotics innovator, and BMW, the German automobile giant, have revealed remarkable advancements in the Figure 02 humanoid robot’s capabilities. 

Operating on a production line, the Figure 02 robot has made a significant leap, achieving a 400% increase in speed and a sevenfold improvement in success rate.

 

"the Alphabet-owned company has been allowed to deploy an unlimited number of robotaxis for paid driverless rides in the city [San Francisco] at all hours. In March, state regulators allowed the company to expand its commercial ride-hailing to 22 Peninsula cities.

Now, Waymo officials are declaring victory after a year of commercial driverless service without any serious incidents and say it gives them confidence to speed up their robotaxi expansion.

David Margines, Waymo’s director of product management, said in an interview that the company’s one-year track record in San Francisco “is a validation” that its robotaxis can “drive safely” and “coexist in the communities that we want to operate in.”

“Looking back over the year, I’m thrilled to say that it’s been a big success,” he said."

 

"Waymo regularly takes its autonomous vehicles on winter road trips to test the cars in snowy environments. In 2017, it was Michigan.

This year, Waymo will hit multiple wintry locales, including Truckee, California; Upstate New York; and Michigan, from the Upper Peninsula to the metro Detroit area"

 

Seen this on reddit and thought it was an interesting question that largely is not talked about.

It is largely an issue that gets sidelined and hidden because people don't want to talk about it or accept that it exists. Hopefully this gets some traction to break that marginalisation.

 

I suck at spelling and would like to know a word I have typed is wrong or not. Ideally with a red underline.

I really struggle looking at text I have written and seeing the mistakes. I have tried Samsung, openboard, gboard. None seem to fix the issue.

I'm willing to download anything as long as it's not a privacy concern. Is there any way to get what I want.

I have a Samsung 22+ if that makes a difference

"Waymo has filed a request to the California Public Utilities Commission to expand robotaxi service in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles region. In the SFBA, it grows from just San Francisco to the whole peninsula, all the way to Sunnyvale but not including Marin, the East Bay and Santa Clara/Cupertino/San Jose. The LA area includes everything north and west of Compton, but not the San Fernando valley."

This is massive I'm not really sure what the writer is on about with the title.

Waymo have been in the background making slow and steady progress for years. So much so most people probably don't even know the extend of their self driving (without a human behind the wheel) developments.

This could be the beginning of the big push to actual serious market infiltration.

While walking, cycling, electric mobility, and trains are a must for a healthy city they do run into problems. Mainly the last mile problem and unexpected journeys, self driving cars will make a huge impact on the health of cities, traffic and ease of getting around.

 

I've gone down a rabbit hole here.

I've been looking at lk99, the potential room temp superconductor, lately. Then I came across an AI chat and decided to test it. I then asked it to propose a room temp superconductor and it suggested (NdBaCaCuO)_7(SrCuO_2)_2 and a means of production which got me thinking. It's just a system for looking at patterns and answering the question. I'm not saying this has made anything new, but it seems to me eventually a chat AI would be able to suggest a new material fairly easily.

Has AI actually discovered or invented anything outside of it's own computer industry and how close are we to it doing stuff humans haven't done before?
