that stock price is not rooted in anything real (and hasn't for a long time). I can't wait until that bubble bursts with a bang i can hear from Europe.

holy shit! i worked in travel insurance organizing rental cars in case of breakdowns, with hertz as one of our primary partners in some areas, and at least in central europe i didn't see cases like this. That's quite shocking to learn for me!

Yeah, my current bluetooth headset has that option, and i keep a cable in reserve. the ones i had to replace were mostly in my teens/tweens, and were still cabled in-ear style - easier to hide under clothes and hair, but also no cable replacing if you don't know much about how to solder. TBH, if i had to decide i would not go back to cabled headphones at all - it's simply too limiting and irritating to deal with, especially with multiple audio sources. When listening to music the latency is not important (and has improved a lot in comparison to the humble start), and it's been a while since i had phones which had sound quality issues because of bluetooth.

I've had to swap a lot more cabled headphones out due to cable damage than bluetooth headphones, but i also only use overear headphones, which have enough battery storage for days. Also, there are also overear headsets that are dual-useable with headphone jack or bluetooth (no noise cancelling with jack tho). Also, the issue with the replacement of headphones lies with the producers of headphones w/o changeable power source, not with the phone.

And regarding availability in the US: i have the suspicion that the average european will be much more inclined to pay the 2-300$ upmark in price just for greener tech than the average american. i'm sure that they would love to sell more phones, but it's not ecological or economical to ship them onto a continent where 80-90% of people would either compare specs only and cannot afford to go for a more sustainable phone or - a predominantly USA thing - who revel in the fact that their choice is not ecological.

that sounds like either the last game ever made or the largest money grave ever made, make your pick 🙃

Nope,, 0 / 3 = 0 -> 0 + 4 = 4°C

Division/Multiplication always goes before Addition/Subtraction.

Yep, when i saw that the Blackout had no effect i came over here and never looked back.

I use Lemmy and Mastodon (and sometimes Pixelfed), but have currently a Bluesky-phase. I also noticed a lot of anxiety when using bluesky regarding current events, so i'm thinking of dropping it again, i can cope better with lemmy, much less hectic.

Mortal Sin, a Melee - Roguellike with great visuals and a dev that cares a lot.

ΔV: Rings of Saturn, a hard-scifi 2d asteroid mining game. Great to relax to, a nice community and a great dev, linux native!

Deadlink, a Roguelike arena shooter, tight controls, pretty hard for an aging man like me, but i still like it, even if it puts me in my place regularly lol

Just to set this in relation, the transatlantic roundtrips of those jets are the equivalent to 540000000 questions to deepseek r1, or 1710000000 questions to quen 2.5. for quen, that means to ask about 36 questions per minute.

for the next 90 years.

The book was pretty good, at least when i read it as a teenager. Don't know if i'd like it now

I'm no fan of AI "answers", because if i search for something, i'd like to have access to the source or at least know if i depend on a random social media post as my answer. I'm also pretty sure that - if they are smart, and they (mostly) are - caching of questions and answers will cut down on the amount of total questions asked.

and then there are things like grok, which fuck with air quality because elon couldn't wait until the power grid was usable at his datacenter (or open a datacenter where you have access to the required amount of power) and uses dozens of gas turbines for power (without permits, because when the penalty is a fine, it's just the cost of doing business)

Because if there is something that can be done in a responsible way, you can count on elon to do it in the most braindead way possible.

The "Test" will probably be in line with a psych eval like we already have for our military, which will be enough for cases like this, because he was unfit to serve.

he was still able to get a gun licence, because in austria you are only blocked from getting a gun licence (for 15 years IIRC) if you refuse to serve in the military on ethical grounds and do civil service instead, and the data from the military evaluation is kept secret because of privacy laws.

That would take a majority vote, not only a single party change. Our system here in austria isn't perfect (like most of the world), but it is not the broken mess the US have.

Regardless, i'd say the move to stronger regulation is welcome here. The shooter had his guns legally, even tho he was deemed unfit for military service, which screams "regulatory hole to fix ASAP"

looks like there is broad support for making sure that whoever wants a gun to be stable enough to handle them without shooting up a school.

They are safe for car passengers, and a nightmare for everyone else on the street. High hoods with bad sight for drivers and awful impact profile for pedestrians, heavy cars which make low speed collisions much more deadly for everyone not protected by 3 tons of steel. Safety should be for everyone, not only car passengers.

just to set the record straight:

"For example, having DeepSeek R1 (70 billion parameters) answer 600,000 questions would create CO2 emissions equal to a round-trip flight from London to New York. Meanwhile, Qwen 2.5 (72 billion parameters) can answer more than three times as many questions (about 1.9 million) with similar accuracy rates while generating the same emissions."

i'd say that makes the average usage for personal reasons an non-issue.

Generally, heating and cooling are the main energy consumption for domestic purposes. next up is the car, and then electrical consumption. (from what i remember).

as long as you don't take a transatlantic trip your fine:

"For example, having DeepSeek R1 (70 billion parameters) answer 600,000 questions would create CO2 emissions equal to a round-trip flight from London to New York. Meanwhile, Qwen 2.5 (72 billion parameters) can answer more than three times as many questions (about 1.9 million) with similar accuracy rates while generating the same emissions."

i don't know y'all, but i can say it takes me a long-ass time to ask that many questions.

GenX here, my father was a racist and ran with a similar racist crowd, and i was disgusted pretty soon after i started to comprehend the shit they spew.

That crap they said sometimes still comes into my mind when seeing non-whites (i heard that stuff a lot, as my father descended into his alcoholism over 2 decades), and then i firmly disagree with those thoughts and feel icky. Racism (and i believe it's the same for sexism) is an active choice, even when growing up in a racist environment.
