I thought this was debunked as Tesla pretty much faking the energy consumption numbers. The cars seem to be average in independent real world tests. That's not really surprising as electrical motors are more or less a solved problem for a long time now.

I'm not a native speaker. My opinion may or may not be representative. If you can't even "guide" a pet, then you can't "guide" an LLM, which is much simpler than the brain of a pet.

In my opinion there is a difference between training and guiding. At least in the context of animals, "guiding" them is usually not used and I believe the situation is similar here.

I understand how Shatner reached that conclusion by anthropomorphizing AI. It's completely detached from reality. AI isn't conscious and thus guiding it doesn't make any sense.

I'm developing for a fairly large open source project in C#. The language does not actively minimize boiler plate, sure. But what you describe sounds like a fault with the devs and not with the language.

A single developer with that many files? Those are clearly AI generated, so not their work anyways. 🤷‍♂️

The difference is, that one second is personal cost. The CO2 is socialized cost. If you have a different perspective on this, I understand. When I looked up wireless charging because it looked cool and saw the numbers, I decided to stick with cables and not buy any wireless charging hardware.

The gain may not be much but the cost is even less. Reaching for a cable costs a second more and would save around 10000 tons of coal per year (based on your calculation) if the equivalent of coal power plants were reduced by the same amount. It's not like using wired charging is any sort of effort that would outweigh the benefit.

I would disagree. The difference might not mean much for a single household but looking at all mobile phones paints a significantly different picture.

10% is so low, that I doubt it's factual. For comparison, QI charging loses 20-30% in addition to what wired chargers lose. Here is an article with cited studies: https://www.engadget.com/2200186/wireless-charging-wastes-electricity-why/

Moral of the story: plugging the phone in is worth it in the long run.

When visiting Iceland it was so weird being offered whale in a small restaurant. I was super curious but in the end resisted the urge to try it.

Telegram is worse than even Whatsapp, since it's not even pretending to be end to end encrypted.

The real choice is signal or threema.
