Cost is a proxy for productivity and resources. So while it is stupid to say that the energy transition is too expensive, shouldn't we rather invest our productivity and resources into a faster and cheaper solution? Drawing focus away from renewables is dangerous as others have mentioned, because it is too late to reach our goals with nuclear.

Well according to Raiden from Metal Gear you should know that A Soul can't be cut. And he is an expert at cutting things!

I'm confident solar + batteries will solve short term storage. But as far as I know energy density is just not there for seasonal storage. However when energy becomes dirt cheap, chemical storage through Hydrogen or downstream products should become an economic no brainer as well

I bought the game at the of alpha with an email I lost access to at some point. I remember my Password and Username but forgot the email address I used. I think it also wasn't even possible to change the email address in the Mojang Account back then. So I definitely didn't sit around and ignored the migration, I even tried contacting the support.

Anyways what sucks is that I remembered my email address this winter, but already after the cut off point. Would have been nice to get to keep that very old account. But as others have mentioned, the experience is probably better with a pirated version anyway.

I do agree with your point about auto-generated captions being better than no captions. But isn't it bad to insert them automatically on creation? If we use these models to caption images shouldn't it be done by the screen reader instead? That way people can benefit from future advancements of the tech and customize the captioning system for themselves. With the current system there is no way to tell if you got a crappy AI caption that you may want to replace with a better auto-generated caption or a human written caption.

I was also confused about this. I didn't find an article talking about yet either. My current assumption is that it is just this game and that it is still a closed pre-release. So they maybe just wanted to remove noise from people that don't have the required specs during their testing phase. It's also not a lock to a specific GPU vendor as I originally expected from the title.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but why would you care about how privacy invasive GitHub is? Your code is open-source anyways so MSFT can steal it wherever you host it. And if they haven't changed it you're able to sign up with just an email and a pseudonym. It's not a social network where you have to post private information for it to be useful you can and most people do use it pretty anonymously.

So I never understand the outrage about GitHub and MSFT. Git is distributed anyway, the only thing that can be lost are issues and pull request histories. If they fuck up, everyone can just move. Now GitHub Actions, that is a clever thing for binding users...

Just wanted to say that I enjoy your edits. I had never seen the comic before but predicting how Heathcliff fits into it is a fun game, before I look at the original. Do you have them collected somewhere? The old posts aren't accessible anymore I guess

They are testing them already. I only have a German article that came out this week https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/technologie/fahrerlose-lkw-man-test-autobahn-100.html

The truck division of Mercedes (Daimler) is already testing the trucks in the US. They plan commercial usage in 2027. MAN is testing in Europe in wants to start commercial usage in 2030.

Just in time to not be able to see anything on Reddit without signing in. And I'm sure companies won't figure out how to astroturf even more.

Not to give any judgement on whether usage of a CDN is good or bad. But I think it is a bad idea to talk about decentralized hosting and decentralized ownership like they are identical. The problem with social media the fediverse is solving isn't that all social media goes down when CloudFlare/Facebook CDN goes down. It's to be independent of one organisation or even person that can ruin the fun for everyone. If CloudFlare bans every instance, the owners are still in control of their DNS names and can just move to another CDN or their own reverse proxy/cache

Maybe its because I'm on Nightly but PassKeys work natively for me on Windows 11 with Firefox already
