Elon Musk’s automaker has been backsliding in China for the past five consecutive months on a year-on-year basis, according to data from the country’s Passenger Car Association. Tesla’s shipments plunged 49% in February from a year earlier to just 30,688 vehicles, the lowest monthly figure since way back in July 2022, when it shipped just 28,217 EVs — and that was in the middle of Covid.

She goes out to talk about topics she’s not well versed in without doing enough research and says outright wrong stuff. In general, scientists who specialize in a field are often no better than a layman in the fields they have no background in. She’s not the only one who does this. Some scientists merely share uninformed opinions. Others do it for money. They build a persona that is imbued with trust by their existing expertise then they use this trust to keep pumping out other material for profit. That’s Sabine. Also Jordan Peterson. No they’re not the same but the scheme is. Laymen don’t know any better and absorb the material, correct or incorrect, since they don’t have the background to recognize when it’s bullshit.




This is nice but it appears to be around A55 performance which is similar to the SiFive cores. I’m eager to see high speed cores that match the upper end of the ARM core range. And if they’re happen to be open source



Give us Banana Pi with SMIC-made, fast RISC-V processor. That’ll be the beginning of the end for ARM and all the report you need to show.


It’s okay, all they have to do is get a bid from another Big Tech company that doesn’t have home stuff like Amazon. Failing that, there’s always private equity. 🥲


Just got this update which renamed my app to "iRobot Home (Classic)" so I looked up what's "non-classic" and found this.

If you're getting "Untrusted device" on your Chromecast today, you're not alone. It looks like an expired cert.

I didn’t assume that. While that’s one interpretation of my comment, there are others.


Well in capitalist countries there’s also the problem of distribution of the value created by automation that displaces workers. So workers have the incentive to not automate since they’re often left out of the value the automation produces.


Is it an official Chinese policy to pursue automation as a means of dealing with population decline or is it just the obvious solution?





And they’re likely to do so given how much of it depends on how much capital and energy you dump into it.



Should have played Black Mesa instead of HL. It’s everything HL is but better. It was incredible even having played HL back in 1998. I recommend people who’ve never played HL to just do BM.

As a lifelong Half-Life fan, I really liked some of Frictional Games’ titles. I liked Penumbra a lot and I think Soma was an absolute masterpiece. It’s at a level similar to Half-Life for me. If you don’t know anything about it, don’t read, don’t watch. Install and play.



Sounds a bit copyright infringey, but I imagine their lawyers have cleared it. Not that I’m a fan of copyright.


The US has plenty of political prisoners

Yes.

Again, it’s not clear to me what basis there to suggest that USSR or China ratio being higher.

I don’t know if it’s higher I just think it’s not zero.


Originally I replied to this:

Imagine having a Government that uses political prisoners as forced laborers.

It was about political prisoners not general incarcerated population. The aforementioned regimes did hold political prisoners for obvious reasons.

Yes crime skyrocketed after the fall of those regimes.


I’m talking about other one-party communist regimes like the ones in the USSR, Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia, East Germany, etc. Yes I’m aware they’re they’re not identical, including in rates of political prisoners. The one I’m from had relatively few.


Sure but I think it probably isn’t as easy to gather evidence for this in China than it is in the US. That’s why I think it’s fair to assume the lack of evidence doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. There’s evidence this occurred in collapsed regimes of similar stripes. It’s plausible that China isn’t an exception. I’m not at all suggesting whether this is widespread or not. I have no clue. It could be extremely rare.

No question about the incarceration rates.


That’s a funny way to put it, but kinda sorta true. Anti-cannabis laws for majority black users…


System providers should avoid recommendation algorithms that create “echo chambers” and induce addiction, allow manipulation of trending items, or exploit gig workers’ rights, the notice said.

They should also crack down on unfair pricing and discounts targeting different demographics, ensure “healthy content” for elderly and children, and impose a robust “algorithm review mechanism and data security management system”.

OK, so people can use the definition instead. In fact it might be more useful.


Yes. I’m using the standard typing system on an ANSI keyboard which requires pinkies.



Running useful CLI programs. A non exhaustive list:

  • ssh
    • Operating remote machines over ssh
    • Port forwarding to remote machines
  • iperf
  • ping
  • nmap
  • pandoc

And its sibling Shelter. Don’t know which one is more up-to-date lately.



I cannot wait. This will cover a use case the current DND system doesn’t do which would make it perfect.


Did they think that about Telegram? I thought it was quite popular despite that.


Every time I hear SimpleX I think of herpes. Perhaps shows that whoever came up with that name had never had or looked up cold sores.😂



That pesky phone number requirement saves it again.

Since a few folks seem [unaware of this]( https://lemmy.ca/comment/8752266), I'm posting anew for visibility.

I can't believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he's onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

Meta can rage farm Mastodon without controlling it
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/1185025 > Meta can introduce their signature rage farming to the Fediverse. They don't need to control Mastodon. All they have to do is introduce it in their app. Show every Threads user algorithmically filtered content from the Fediverse precisely tailored for maximum rage. When the rage inducing content came from Mastodon, the enraged Thread users will flood that Mastodon threads with the familiar rage-filled Facebook comment section vomit. This in turn will enrage Mastodon users, driving them to engage, at least in the short to mid term. All the while Meta sells ads in-between posts. And that's how they rage farm the Fediverse without EEE-ing the technology. Meta can effectively EEE the userbase. The last E is something Meta may not intend but would likely happen. It consists of a subset of the Fediverse users leaving the network or segregating themselves in a small vomit-free bubble.
