Comment Window on arm? (Score 1) 67

Windows on arm? Why? Either you are locked in on proprietary x86 software on Windows or you are not. If you are not there is zero reason to use windows at all. I see people here claim that you only need a browser - fine. Then you don't need Windows either - choose something else. If you need a specific x86/64 software on Windows - run it on x86/64 with the Windows compiled for that architecture

Comment Price! (Score 1) 522

It is the price. The article is blantant false when it says that EVs need government support to match ICE cars - they are much more expensive even with those! If we go back to before the pandemic when all car companies decided to screw the customers and raised prices on ICE cars as well.. Well back then a Zoe electric car had a price of almost twice that of the exact same car in ICE configuration (a different name that I don't remember). The ICE version was priced for what it was - a low cost low quality model The Zoe on the other hand has all the same low budget feel of its ICE brother but twice the price.

Comment Wire loops? (Score 3, Informative) 96

What do they mean with wire loops here? Is it the action where the physical train short circuit an electric loop in the rails to indicate that block as blocked? Those system are the most secure and most reliable you can have - the alternatives are much worse. We have several kinds of position system on the railways here and the other kind of systems are much less reliable

Comment A fools errand (Score 2) 50

Using AI to make part of your work is a fools errand. It will simply speed up your replacement with AI. Why keep you if AI can do it?

Of course, that replacement will happen either way but helping training the AI so that it goes faster is a stupid solution. Sure, you will look more productive and more valuable for a while, but it wont last. You actively will make it last less time by using AI.

The upcoming problem is what we do when 80% doesn't need to work. I don't thing the likes of Musk and other plutocrats will share their wealth. Hard times is ahead. By the way, that might only be a problem for your in America - here in Europe I don't think we will live long enough to see it. Russia will fuck things up here so we will return to pre-industrial life or if they win pre-industrial life combine with life indenture.

Comment Re: The problem is obvious (Score 1) 352

Public transport doesn't work in low population density. I live in Europe that is by the American left held as the "example" of public transport - it still doesn't work. It works fine in the high density cities but you only need to come twenty kilometres of from a medium sized city and the public transport is a joke and unusable. Large part of my country still live in those places

Comment Re: Battery shortages all over (Score 2) 181

That problem is on the same level that the supposed "not enough nuclear fuel for more than fifty years problem" - it's a man-made problem made by the anti nuclear lobby. There is plenty of uranium ore outside Russia but "environmental" organizations has lobbied to ban mining it. As they have banned up-processing nuclear waste so it can be reused and lobbied hard against gen 4 reactors
