Comment Re:EV in nordic countries (Score 3, Informative) 149

Another reason for the gap between Norway and the rest of the nordics is that chinese EVs are freely available in Norway, whereas the EU (that includes Denmark, Finland and Sweden) regulates their import. Also, pretty much everything in Norway eased EV adoption:
1. Hydropower and very low electricity prices (although now this changes drastically due to electricity exports to mainland europe; spot-prices are through the roof!).
2. It's very popular to own a house, which means that pretty much everyone can charge at home overnight.
3. Due to the extreme cold, outside parking lots are equipped with electric outlets for keeping your car warm in the winter. The original use was meant for supporting a small diesel heater and a fan that would burn some of your car's fuel for preventing the car from freezing over. They are now used for trickle-charging EVs while the people are at work.

Thanks for your comment. But I would think that high-caliber mathematicians are going to do their maths anyway, because that's what they like to do. I would also predict that they will be letting AI do the grunt work while they can spend even more time (than now) imagining new techniques and possible solution pathways. AI is forcing a higher level of abstraction in science, where the human factor is the creative force and AI takes it from there. On the other hand, if AI can actually be creative (as it seems to be in at least some cases) then oh, boy it's going to get interesting...

Article 5 The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area. Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security .

The vast majority of people have neither the theoretical background, nor the necessary attention span for understanding how an AI model works. You can catch up on the theory if you have the attention span. My parents, for example, never got around to even using computers. My uncle, however, did. He did not become a programer, but he could use a computer somewhat comfortably, although he did fall victim to fraudsters once.
So, keep reading, look up wikipedia and youtube for learning, and keep your pins private. You'll be fine.

You're missing the point. It's not about electronics per se, but DRM. Audio quality is irrelevant. So, unless that electronic turntable is monitoring what it is playing and cross-references that to a database of your licensed music, or needs a stupid app to work (I hope I'm not giving them ideas...), then your argument is moot.

GP's statement smelled a bit off, so I did the googling and found this: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fspectator.sme.sk%2Fbusin... The citet article is paywalled. Dunno if it's legit or not, but it still smells bad: Of all things thinkable, why would you waste the energy?!
