Should have linked this earlier, but adding it now anyways https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity-locations#%2Ffind%2Fnearest%3Ffuel=ELEC There are very few places in the US where you can be an hour away from the nearest charger.

It’s also kind of a strange situation to explain to people who are used to fuling up at gas stations. I almost never use the fast chargers near my house, I can fill up way cheaper, and way more conveniently at home. The only time I start thinking about fast charging is when I’m driving more than 300 miles in a weekend.

Yeah, you should probably mean what you say and say what you mean when having a conversation. You have no idea what the current state of ev charging infrastructure looks like, but you’re still acting like an expert.

You’ll notice I did not argue against that point at all, not having charging at home is a huge downside and would play a big part in if someone should buy an EV or not.

“OuR gRiD cAN’T taKE iT” on the other hand is not a valid argument

There are states without any electric chargers installed

So now you’re just lying, maybe I was wrong and you are getting paid to post this.

By repeating their talking points, you are arguing that we should slow EV adoption. You are literally doing their work for them. At least if you worked for BP you could cash a pay check, you’re out here working for them for free.

Also the electrical infrastructure in this country is not ready for everyone to go electric.

You’re repeating big oil talking points. We improve the grid all the time, we can continue to do it. Sure if all cars were magically converted into EVs tomorrow we would have big problems, but that’s not how the real world works.

If the grid actually was about to fall over because of a few more EVs, these datacenters spinning up all over the place would be even bigger disasters than they already are.

I wouldn’t think it would make much of a difference. The thing that breaks people out of prejudice is interacting with people from different backgrounds, the most bigoted people I’ve ever met were all people who were proud they didn’t travel.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.

Motorola was never good, at smartphones. If you look back just a little further they were pretty great.

Although, if I remember right they did manufacture the Nexus 6 which was pretty well liked at the time.

I just don’t understand what you are protecting yourself from, in my opinion if anyone can create a list of all of the pirated content you downloaded, you’ve already lost all security. A VPN should always be used.

Are there actually any alternatives that are more secure? No matter how you aquire your media online your IP will be exposed to someone.

So when do I stop asking the LLM to take another look? If it finds a new issue on the second or third or fourth check am I supposed to just sit here and keep asking it to “pretty please take another look and don’t miss anything this time”?

I’m not saying it’s a useless tool, it’s just not a replacement for a human code review at all.

Now ask the LLM to analyse the code it just generated. It will have a lot of notes.

Not only will it have a lot of notes, every time you ask if to analyze the code it will find new notes. Real engineers are telling me this is a good code review tool but it can’t even find the same issues reliably. I don’t understand how adding a bunch of non-deterministic tooling is supposed to make my code better.

If you know what RAM is, this product isn’t for you. It’s for your kid or grandma

You’re still out here saying both sides are the same? Really?

Was Biden the perfect candidate? Clearly no. Was he a billion times better than the alternative, yes.

No worries, it’s a podcast that opens with a dad joke and that was this week’s joke

Hello fellow dear hank and john listener.

You say you understand the technical limitations, then immediately ask if there are technical limitations in the next paragraph? And then this comment is clearly written by an LLM. Maybe if you tried to use your brain you’d have better luck.

They literally can’t. If they go too long between spider man movies the rights revert back to Marvel.

My reading is probably 60% audiobooks, 30% ereader and 10% ebooks on my phone. I could read entire books on my phone, but I just don’t find that as enjoyable or immersive as the ereader. The amount of distractions on the phone is also a big negative. I use the app koreader to sync progress between the ereader and phone, so wherever I am I can always open up a book instead of scrolling YouTube shorts or whatever, but I still end up doing that more than I should.
