A twelve foot swell can easily kill you or just beat the stuffing out of you.

You've obviously never had to merge into 75mph traffic from a metered on-ramp.

I've noticed that in bicycle travel I tend to become quite a fan of filling station mini markets. If only because they are (obviously) car-oriented places that are less likely to have people who will mess with or steal my bike. And because the store is relatively small you usually can set...

Just saying, but at current prices I can easily charge up my EV at home for what ICE car drivers pay for a single gallon of regular at a gas station that I only need to visit to buy beef jerky.

What I hear you saying is that because China chooses to play Russian roulette we should too because otherwise China might win...

Recall that these things are trained on the entire Internet. So by definition if you put up an explanation of how they can kill us you are just teaching them how to do it.

Right now we have multiple people inside the AI industry saying there is at least a ten percent chance that this technology could literally kill us all in the next ten years. If that is really the case, why are we developing this technology at all? Wouldn't a smarter species stop work on such...

Another way we kill each other off with AI: I remember my reaction in 2017 when someone showed me that video: "Yeah, I could make most of that work..."

I think this tech has lots of ways to kill us before it gets to the point where they get organized enough to take us out. Several years ago during the late pandemic period several papers demonstrated how to poison an AI's training dataset and corrupt its output. What was interesting was that...

Just saying, EV battery failure rates on later-model EVs (2022 and later) are about 0.3 percent. While on ICE vehicles engine failures are around 0.8 percent. And the trends are going in the opposite directions, with EVs getting much more reliable (very early pre-2012 models had an 8 to 13...

6 months and 10000 miles in. 10000 mile service was $55. That and I'm paying about 15 percent per mile that a dinosaur burner would cost. Not even including maintenance.

Amperes are defined as one coulomb of charge per second. A coulomb is about 6.24e+18 electron charges. So the coulombs cancel out and you end up with watts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere

Because Volts are Joules/charge and Amperes are charge/second The reason miles/kWh is weird, aside from the odd metric thingy, is that since kWh is a unit of work, and work is force * distance, and miles is obviously a distance, you end up with miles/kWh being 1/Force. So kWh/mile would be in...

Okay, maybe not "monster" truck but certainly monstrous. Obviously a lot of boys are compensating for something these days.

Oh, and while you are at it, explain why both Newton-meters (or inch-pounds or foot-pounds) can be a unit of work (which is a scalar) and a unit of torque (which is a vector).

Tell me why miles/kWh or miles/liter make any sense.

None of these are electric vehicles. How can I tell? Then there is this guy. We all know you never plug in an EV in the back seat: Something about monster trux that just makes them jerks:

Back on topic: I was at the hospital in Wenatchee last week (no, I'm fine lolz) and there are a dozen level 2 EV chargers on two floors of the parking garage. When I got there at 9:30am all of them were ICEd out and unavailable to me. ICEing an EV charger in Washington State is a traffic...

I think at this point in time you'd win a solid majority from both ends of the horseshoe if your platform was really simple: "hang all the billionaires and nuke any trillionaires from orbit."
