Ford EVs are so hot right now.

It's gonna replace a bunch of useless middle management jobs. Manual labor is expensive to replace with robots. No way it replaces humans first.

Given how ford treated me when I had transmission problems twice a year in my focus. Maybe they’re driving it wrong in the factory floor. /s Batteries are probably starting on fire while sitting on a pallet.

A knife manufacturer does not profit with each successful piercing of flesh the way FaceBook does. FaceBook acts with the resources of nation states as if it is one. It has seen how data from its platform is used, issued worthless statements of apology, and continued supplying the data and the platform to those who are abusing the platform for horrific goals. FB is aware of this. They are supporting it. Profit is all that matters. Humans are products.

Glad to know Facebook gets to say when my privacy started. Ha, thanks for this.

All I am seeing is hype and guessing. You have any sources confirming it's power source or just guessing from auto magazine's like I read.

Edit. A word

No, they are still firmly in the lab from everything I read. Do you have a source saying otherwise?

I'm guessing the plan for 15 minute cities would make us stop using cars unless absolutely necessary and this just reinforces it.

Can't wait to see how my gardening business will run with carrying 15 spare batteries a day

For the listeners: The Floating Point Math is still on the tilt scale. Move the deciquad back four qubits and recommute. Yoda said something about there being a cross feedback loop with a monster tin can.

...There are already sodium ion batteries ready for launch this year..?

The BYD Seagull is right around the corner

So in the next ten years, the EU is going to revolutionize the sodium battery. Fix it's charging cycle problems, lower it's weight low enough to even fit in EV's. Because so far no car uses it due to it sucking for anything mobile. Set up nigh on hundreds of factories to bring them to market in the millions.

No, in ten years we might start to see them be small enough to put in EV's in a lab maybe. More likely applications like city busses if you're lucky. But in no way will an industry exist even alongside lithium batteries to support this fiction.

>It was trained on massive amounts of internet data, but it isn’t online.

Sounds kind of like doing an open book test where you can read the textbook to find the answers but you can't google for the answers.

Those lithium–sulfur batteries are also coming onto the market. We are in the setting up production phase of development.

Sodium-ion batteries are cobalt-free, and they will presumably be a big part of most EVs in the forseable future given the vast abundance of sodium on Earth

Yeah totally agree. My example was not nuanced. Just to demonstrate that hard working does not necessarily mean that a person cares.

Because systems are so complex this really has become a huge problem. Major disconnects exist between what companies ask for, what devs build, and what end users actually care about. I totally get why a dev wouldn’t want to fight every battle but it’s become increasingly common for nobody to fight any battles and the end product just ends up sucking even though everyone on the project worked hard and did what they were supposed to do.

So, the EU has about 300 million cars. Rounding up, about 6 million are EV. So about 1 in every 50 cars are EV's. Let's say the average lifespan of a car is 10 years. That's also about how long between battery pack changes on EV's.

So the EU alone, in 10 years is going to need 50 times more batteries per year. You are asking the Democratic republic of the congo to increase it's production of colbalt by 5000% in 10 years just to supply the EU. And that's if no other countries like China or the US decide to use ANY more lithium batteries for ANYTHING then they do right now. If you want a nice depressing subject to learn about, look up child labor in colbalt mines. It accounts for between 15-30% of your clean lithium batteries you love so much.

I'm sorry, no established industry in the history of anything has grown that fast. But Greta has a heck of a bridge to nowhere to sell you. I love green energy, but this stupidity is not helping.

I'll agree but with the added comment that even someone working 50-60 hours a week will never have the time they'd like to make a high quality end product. Even with good tools and a knowledgeable employee, software is extremely complex and time-consuming.

So, you have to chose your battles. It's not always a matter of "caring" - sometimes, it's just a matter of time management.

The worst doctor leaving school will continue to learn throughout the rest of their career, shaping what they review to cover their known weaknesses. This is a current peak AI that has already finished learning everything it can from the dataset.

This is the last nail in the ICE coffin.

If Europe bans ICE, car xonpa ies not gonna make em. Not really. Why invest in dying tech.

And some of the biggest money states are already on the 2035 timeline. So any state who ignores the issue now is gonna get pulled in defacto. And if they don't keep up they gonna be in a lot of pain as they are dependent on cars which are quickly disappearing.

Self drive cars still crash. It's still a developing technology, and I have no doubt that in the years to come it will be capable of doing some extraordinary things.

Why don’t they ask ChatGPT to identify math problems and then rephrase them for a dedicated tool like Wolfram Alpha to solve?

Believe it or not, Congress is full of educated people, many are even Ivy League alumni.

No single doctor has knowledge about everything but an AI does. You do not need to find a doctor that works for you or a doctor whose schedule fits yours when AI takes care of you. It’s available for everyone anytime and also has the whole human knowledge base.

Just write my opioid script, doc.

C's get degrees.
