  • I think maybe it’s geared towards people who watch more YouTube. I never have any single topic take over my entire homepage, literally ever. I even watched a balatro video like two weeks ago and I got two tiles on my homepage that showed balatro. But I also watch a lot of YouTube, so any one video doesn’t change much about my watch patterns. Last year my wife decided we were suddenly going to be watching videos about using turkey calls, and we watched about ten of them in a row and then I was getting a good number of recommendations for turkey shit, but still nothing like OP’s homepage.

  • lol so everyone else has shown how you clearly don’t understand sovereign territory, but it’s also pretty clear you have no clue what “leasing” means either. Do you think leasing somehow magically gives you ownership of something? Like if you lease a car from the dealership do you think you own that car?

  • they're also completely ignoring the ongoing (environmental) costs of operating a gas vehicle compared to an EV. Even if initial costs might be higher, they are almost immediately paid off, sometimes as soon as six months of driving.

  • They are cleaner. The EPA literally calls this "Myth #2" because so many people like you repeat it ad nauseam. https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/electric-vehicle-myths#Myth2

    here are some more links: https://www.cotes.com/blog/greenhouse-gas-emissions-from-ev-vs-ice-vehicles https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/dec/01/do-electric-cars-have-problem-mining-for-minerals https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/are-electric-vehicles-definitely-better-climate-gas-powered-cars

    David Bott, the head of innovation at the Society of Chemical Industry, said: “The real thing people forget is once it has been mined, you will end up being able to reuse 80-90% of the metals. You don’t have to go back to the planet to steal more minerals.”

    funny quote from one of them:

    And the alternative will not mean less mining. Caspar Rawles, the chief data officer at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, said: “It always makes me laugh. OK, the mining of EV [materials] is harmful. Where do you think your car now comes from?”

  • the article points out that due to norway not having a major automobile manufacturer, there was pretty much no lobbying against the laws, so that's a bit of a tick in the opposite direction. the US has numerous very powerful lobbies making it as hard as possible to pass these laws.

  • Isn’t bonjour the reason that devices like printers famously worked so much better on Mac than windows? I feel like I read an article about that like a decade or two ago.

  • I say “I could care less” and then follow it up with, “but I’d be dead”. Correcting “I could care less” is dumb because you literally can care less about lots of stuff, but saying the phrase indicates you just don’t really care.

  • On another person who’s actually running locally. In your opinion, is r1-32b better than Claude sonnet 3.5 or OpenAI o1? IMO it’s been quite bad, but I’ve mostly been using it for programming tasks and it really hasn’t been able to answer any of my prompts satisfactorily. If it’s working for you I’d be interested in hearing some of the topics you’ve been discussing with it.

  • I think people are just happy that OpenAI is getting shit on, even if the reality isn’t really what is being portrayed. For example I’ve been trying to use r1-32b and it’s really no where near as good as Claude sonnet 3.5 has been.

    I stopped using openai so I can’t comment on the performance comparison there, but clearly the benchmarks are all just made up bs.
