I would love to see all of this in a free/paid marketplace and with a basic learning progress framework behind it.
If its good enough, you can train cutting a 1000 onions without cutting 1000 onions.
With complex machines, you can learn how to control them and than focus on actually using them instead of first learning were all the buttons are.
Imagine a catalog of proper real life skills you can actually train reasonable good:
- cooking - soldering - welding - Tons of woodworking things - ...
You could also go to a lot of makers of tools and offer them to digitalize their products for them so someone can actually exercise with a cheap to super high end machine like specific CNCs or table saws etc.
Besides android being gigantic huge, you still have google maps, chrome, gmail, pixel phones, passkey, yubikeypush/2fa, the new cookie aproach, YouTube!!1 etc.
Why would Google need a 'recent' success to be able to win ar snail?
If anything i do helps to make the ecosystem around me better i'm for it.
And if you look at anything LLM right now, all the research happening, its not opensource doing the research. Its high paid google, ms, etc. people and academy replicates it fast for opensource.
We already have a give and take on both sides.
Without them, we would not have that at all.
Llama, mistral and co.
And the original comment is weird anyway. Google had billions of views with and without google reader.
The normal person doesn't use a RSS Reader at all. Even in my nerdy / tech group not everyone uses one.
Feedly apparently hast 15 million users across the world.
When kids can already listen to everything through smartphones, there is less and less need to listen to one of the few radio stations playing the same everytime.
MTV is dead for a while as well. So YT and co.
Alone platform diversity is high
And plenty of times i remembered a word only in english but not in german.
Like a few month back i was looking at an escalator and though mmmhh escalator whats the german word for it? Took me ages to remember Rolltreppe
Is your mother tonge english? Because i do not think that just having learned a language will help you here a lot. I speak english at my workplace every day while am a german in germany.
I think thats a very good attitude.
But i'm seen as knowledgeable and my manager basically lets me completly alone doing my thing and gives me all benefits regarding salary he can to keep me.
Its not the point about you thinking in multiply languages, its about your brain being able to find a connection to something.
The more interconnections you have, the more you can compensate.
A bike can be reached through different types of bikes, different names of bikes, different experiences with bikes.
Deleted my account after a week and i see plenty of kids waisting a ton of time on it.
We, as our socity, do protect ourselves from thinks like lead in wallcolors, etc. why not addiction?
Yes it takes time but i strongly believe that this section of the curve can be shortened a lot by forcing companies by law, pushing consumers to risk a little bit more.
Do you regularly talk to older people or people outside of a big city? Because you constantly refute my points regarding this and all of those are examples of real encounters i had.
"Its easier to just go to a fuel station" "Its cheaper" "I like the sound of an engine" "I want to be able to drive 1000km without a stop" (while driving not more than 50km per day ...) "EVs explode" . . .
Wow wtf.
How?
Alone last week when i discussed with the other owners of our apartmentbuilding to put solar panels on it, my 'for co2' was basically humoring the others.
Im also on hn for 10 years, i just spend too much time on it, unfortunate creating a new account is too simple :|.
Cars make 75% of transportation co2. Electricity and heating is only double of transportation. So its definitly relevant.
I don't think that EV is enough but its one of the few big changes we as a technology based society need to do.
But i also believe heavily in economy of scale and that an EV can be cheaper and easier to make in a few years than ICEs can. I also believe that EVs are necessary to really start the sustainable supply chain: we take renewable energy to make EVs and Batteries, use the resources of EVs and Batteries later to use them longer after second use and than recycle them to 99%.
Every ICE will always consume fuel.
We also have a huge benefit of investing money today into EV than ICE due to other synergies: Bi-directinal charging will help us to stabilize the grid for renewable. Cheap batteries help us to add more storage at home to use the solar enegy longer.
And in regards to forcing anyone: Again based on the jump in ocean temperature, weather changes in germany etc. i really think we need to do A LOT more A LOT faster. But this article is about EVs not about heat pumps, geothermal, etc.
People don't act rational and plenty of people literaly don't care about the environment or other aspects.
Tesla was pushed by Elon Musk Money and he did this because he saw the market and had the money to disrupt it. Classical car manufacturer wouldn't have build EVs ever because they don't care.
Having a margin of 30% of classical build cars is nothing you spit on.
And there are plenty of market regulations which are most of the time here to protect or help us consumers. Shell, BP and co spending millions for lobbying.
From an economyical standpoint we also have an issue: Plenty of people don't know or don't care to solve the initial investment problem. Figting classical cars, were the market was optimized for 50 years is not easy to disrupt.
Basically non disruptive for consumers alone.
The punishment, hard limits and restrictions are not here to punish consumers but producers.
BMW you are not allowed to sell ICE Cars in europe 2030 vs. dear consumer you are not allowed to buy ICE cars in europe 2030.
Nonetheless in regards of our specific transition: We are actually trying to transition faster than normal because of climate change. We have a huge issue in our society regarding the relevants of this topic.
Old generations mostly ignore it or dont care, the young are frightend and we in the middle (me) im in the middle of my normal life while trying to push more for doing more.
For someone who thinks that a sudden increase in ocean temperature is a very bad sign, we can't wait until everyone has slowly and steadily transitioned. Instead the adoption curve has to be pushed.
The same reason why a lot of other things are necessary by government like getting rid of lead in wall color. Or other human rights.
The governance allows companies to push in a direction.
The interesting thing is not that someone sets a target, the interesting thing will be what happens if we don't achieve it. And its obvious that we can't enforce it if its not possible.
After all the poor people need to get to work and they are needed. I don't think anyone wants to exclude them from car ownership.
When i draged the kayak of my step parents down the lake and set myself, i thought 'wtf how do i get out if i flip this?!'.
Apparently its a real issue and i had the right feeling about it.
I actually didn't went out because it was so snug, that i didn't trust it.
>How frequently do you drive and how long are your trips? Where and on what network do you charge? What do you pay for charging?
Between 40 and 60 cent per kWh. Around 1200km/month.
>> Nonetheless, you can charge your EV on a normal powerplug. Should be very easy for home owners to charge at home.
> What if you aren't a home owner? What if you are a home owner and the car parking is too far away from your house?
I'm a flat owner and got my charging setup 3 month ago in the underground parking lot. We had to discuss it in the owner meeting and germany made a law which enforces them to take it seriuos. If legal reasons are not solving your issue or you can't charge, you are probably not a good candidate for EV right now.
>> No clue about the charging network in US, in EU its good enough.
> Where in the EU are you talking about? These all look like blanket statements to me as they don't consider the real context of a person trying to decide if an EV is practical for them.
Same with your statement tbh. My EV can hold 500km / 310 miles. I have a charging spot 15 minutes away by foot. It really really didn't matter to me to think about charging a little bit more.
>> Tesla is cheaper and more expensive in germany
> What does that mean?
Tesla has daily rates, special offers and a membership. Others like EnBW has this too. There are a lot of apps and rates you can get from different companies. Tesla charging network is just one.
>> EVs show that batterie life is no real issue. Not a bigger concern than your engine block breaking.
> An engine block breaking is a real issue. That's why mileage is reported and it's quite common to do inspections before buying a used car. Battery health is not reported and there is no straightforward way to do an inspection.
But we do know from existing EVs (we have them already for a long time now) that the battery health is not a big issue.
>> EV is a lot more fun to drive and its easy to save a lot if you have solar panels.
> What if you don't have solar panels and are on a budget? Does it help that it's fun to drive if you can't afford it or it makes your life impractical?
No and people who can't afford it are not the people who should start buying EVs right now. I think thats a communication missconception. Plenty of people who can afford EVs are not buying them, if you are not the right person, your only action you should do is to say 'i want an affordable EV and laws making it possible'.
Nonetheless i'm a little bit idealistic and think we need to change.
>> 30% (what a random number)
> I said "at about 30%". It's a gut guess, so not completely random.
If you are not an automotive expert, your gut guess is random. Right now we are at 2%! If breakthroughs are happening (solid state, cheaper, ...) it can easily jump faster than you think. If you don't have anything to say why it should platoon at 30% its random.
> I think in general this conversation is a good example of how some people assume that their privileged life situation is just normal and everybody owns a home with solar panels and a garage with a charger. But that's not true. Maybe 30% of people can afford that, hence my gut guess on the "random" number.
I believe that people who are absolutly NOT in the position at all to think about EVs are feeling addressed.
If you can't afford any EV right now, you are not the target right now anyway
Nonetheless, you can charge your EV on a normal powerplug. Should be very easy for home owners to charge at home.
No clue about the charging network in US, in EU its good enough.
Tesla is cheaper and more expensive in germany, it highly depends on what you use.
EVs show that batterie life is no real issue. Not a bigger concern than your engine block breaking.
Hybrids have horrible co2 values and CNG are very limited available while a plug is available nearly everywere. I have charged at hotels often enough now.
EV is a lot more fun to drive and its easy to save a lot if you have solar panels. I don't think it will top at 30% (what a random number).
