manga has fantastic line work

are you sure you don’t want to waste all your political efforts to get chased around from one term to the next one they try to demonize by rightist word tabooing in some kind of vocabulary whackamole

how is it everyone else’s fault that evangelicals are illiterate and have to delegate power to right-wing jews, mormons, and catholics, who are able to function in elite institutions just fine

i’m fine with them keeping this from me tbh

Gas is expensive. Everyone will rush to buy solar, EVs and batteries i.e War will ACCELERATE energy transition.

"More renewables will be built in the next 5 years than in the last 40 years" - IEA, lashing forecasts for US & raising forecasts for EU, India, Asia AND MidEast

BYD launches world's most powerful 1,500-kW EV charger, plans 20,000 stations by year-end BYD plans to expand its flash-charging stations to overseas markets by the end of 2026.

well it’s hard to say exactly what the government role is but presumably they are supportive. byd chair wang is trying to claw back domestic market share without violating the anti-price-war measures. apparently the new byds get a year of free flash charging

it’s more about preventing saturation of service stations (lotta people in china) than meeting necessity for any individual driver

hell of a time to choose to initiate an oil crisis

i try to get people on “to know the taste of the pear, you must change it by eating” in discussing destructive testing of structural materials

devils stay deterred

the claim that immorality is caused by unbelief is the fundamental basis for religious intolerance generally and is very obviously objectionable to anyone who thinks the human moral instinct has a natural origin rather than deriving from revelatory religion

maybe it really is time for armageddon

that can’t be right.

i wonder at the textural richness of these bizarre situations where a misunderstood cold war reference got discovered later due to the primary and now it’s being used in an even dumber context. how can the historian ever truly capture the profundity of living through such things

saw a post that he’s out on bail (v high by local standards) earlier today, didn’t save

can’t believe they killed jamon instead of haman this purim

the acquiescence of the western allies who were so recently wailing about greenland is truly despicable. it's one thing to support this kind of madness while singing a stupid song about samson. to legitimate this as though it is a minor departure from a real negotiation is an insult to human dignity

i’m not going to yell at you, and the broader fact is that the parties are very different on other important issues, and you are right to say so. but on this specific one you are factually incorrect. the democrats are not opposing this, they are making process arguments to save face with voters

nuclear powers aggressing against non-nuclear states on false grounds using false diplomatic processes and timelines in hopes of launching surprise attacks is bad. such actions have consequences far beyond the conflict itself. people are right not just to defend but to hit hard enough to deter this

probably not a viable strategy to try to overwhelm their capacity to reverse engineer captured hardware

we tried to do to independent korea what we are doing to gaza, and the survivors believed in the importance of maintaining military readiness and acquiring deterrence capability not dependent on china or the soviet union. somehow this is crazier than continuing to do this to people around the world

greater metro atlanta and the research triangle also doing big growth, lot of impact on housing prices. but yeah that may be it

m.2 made building small form factor approx. 20% more annoying but also like 30% more practical

i’m a big optimist on machine learning and automation in general, and maybe generative ai techniques will speed up development or ease interaction with other aspects of the field. the key is to resist the industry’s framing (lumping together as ai, anthropomorphism) in analyzing state of the field

like, early critics of literacy are correct that it degrades in-brain memory function, but the combined brain-text system is much more powerful. it’s the offloading of functions onto something imitating those functions without having them that may be destructive here

people are correct to be concerned that the ability of these things to present themselves as having capabilities they don’t have will cause humans to offload cognitive functions to the models, leaving none of the actual capabilities in the resulting human-machine system
