Or an email client where you double click the link text to select it and press copy, and somehow this puts the link plus a trailing space in the clipboard to be pasted into a browser.

There’s no such thing as stopping processor degradation, it’s just that it usually takes so long that nobody cares anymore.

I wrote a bit of python earlier, do I have to send you a cheque?

Every other country already has similar standards, though. So they don’t need to design anything new, they can just actually start selling those cars in Australia instead of their obsolete junk that can’t be sold anywhere else.

TIL there’s an Amazon app store.

At 26 grand, you’re approaching the 38 grand that a Dolphin costs. And that’ll get you a brand new vehicle, bigger battery, CCS2 and a manufacturer’s warranty.

That’s due to battery prices. You can’t pay $25,000 for a battery, put it in a shitbox and sell it for $30,000 because nobody’s going to buy a $30,000 car with the features and quality of a $5,000 car. Batteries can only be maybe a third of the cost of a car, so everyone’s been targeting the top of the market with expensive EVs.

The good news is, battery prices are continuing to plummet each year. When you have $2,000 batteries, $12,000 cars are doable.

I’m not sure I want a system which rolled their own date handling holding my credit card details. Wanna bet they rolled their own crypto too?

It repeats things that sort of sound intelligent to try and convince everyone that actual intelligent thought is taking place? It really is just like humans!

Yeah it is. The training data skews white, so they added a “make some people non-white” kludge. It wouldn’t be needed if there was actually racial diversity in the training data.

It’d make the world a better place, but a big company would make slightly less money, therefore it’s unthinkable to even attempt it.

I’m not sure Lemmy has many users old enough to get that reference.

Depends whether Elon made the decision or Captain Sensible snuck in and did it while Elon was playing with Twitter.

It’s not like Tesla doesn’t have smart people, they just don’t get to make the decisions some of the time.

If you live in an apartment and own a car, you’re parking it somewhere. Put the chargers there.

What does that have to do with grid demand?

We’ve got enough excess supply coming online as people install solar that we’re seeing the wholesale electricity price occasionally flip negative. We might not have enough power to satisfy 2035’s demand today, but we can accommodate a lot more EVs than we’ve got on the road.

The argument against your example scales, though. You can do demand management with EV chargers, either at the household level or grid scale. Unless your power supply is running so close to the edge it can’t cope with existing normal usage, adding EV charging in the midnight to 6am period when power consumption is otherwise really low works just fine. And nobody cares if their car took 6 hours to charge instead of 5, because they sleep through it.

It’s a joke about Toyota’s attitude towards hydrogen and batteries. Fuel cell EVs almost make sense as plug in hybrids, with 40 miles of battery range for daily use and the hydrogen system for longer trips, but that would be blasphemy against the holy fuel cell!

It’s from the 380kg listed here and the Mirai’s 5kg hydrogen capacity.

Sure, there’s also the ‘super-insulated, cryogenic tanker trucks’ with super cooled liquid hydrogen, but you were claiming nothing special needed to be built?

Like, look at your house. You may just have a 100 amp breaker box on it. Now you couldn’t handle a high-speed charger pulling 40 amps for your car, 30 for the hvac, 20 for lights/tv/computers etc, and then trying to get another 15 or so from and oven or vacuum cleaner. You’ll need a bigger amp breaker box

I’m not sure if you know this, but there are smart chargers that include a sensor to put on the feed going into your house. The charger can throttle up and down as you turn stuff on and off to keep the house’s total power draw under the limit, so you run all your stuff and the car just gets whatever’s left over. You can even have dozens of chargers in a parking garage and program the chargers to share a limited grid connection.

EVs aren’t a fixed load, you can ramp them up or down or shut them off as needed, so they’re pretty easy to accommodate.
