not overrated. at least one seed needs to be open.

Or you can accept that it’s a typo… and not freak out about a simple error that didn’t diminish your understanding of their comment.

Good thing no one did that?

You did.

Damage to what? There ain’t gonna be anything left of the car either way.

Factually wrong. ICE cars are much much easier to put out. Often times ICE engine fires can put themselves out. And since they burn slower anyway, it’s more likely you can escape the fire in of itself. Eg. if the fire occurs from a runway combustion in the chamber and the engine locks up starving the combustion chamber from oxygen.

That’s an extremely obscure and cherry-picked scenario to make your point.

Not really? There’s a lot of bridges on the planet… There’s lots of tunnels on the planet. There’s lots of infrastructure that is a part of our roadways or are close enough to roadways to be affected. Tunnels are actually an even better problem to discuss. Heavy metal toxicity will stick around a lot longer and cause much more problems than an ICE engine that can actually be doused out 1/10th of the way through the burn.

Thermal mass is not relevant. You don’t die from metal contact, you die from smoke inhalation.

More things between you and the fire = more protection overall… period. And you want to talk about people being disingenuous?

“Brother” putting words in people’s mouth is literally definition of bad faith.

I was not speaking for terms of “life”. Though life certainly is affected by the problems.

Lithium fires cause immensely more damage than ICE fires do. Hell just think of a benign situation like a car catch fire under a bridge. A BEV is more likely to structurally damage the bridge than an ICE fire would.

Lithium fires burn much hotter and spread much faster since it’s self-oxidizing. I’ll take an ICE fire any day since they will burn slower just by it’s very nature. I will have more protection by sheer thermal mass in between me and the firey bit (the engine) than I do would with an EV where the battery is literally underneath the entire passenger cabin.

It’s well known that BEV fires are much more destructive. The fact that they happen less often doesn’t fix the fact that it ends up being a wash all around.

Edit: Eg, more often x less damage = less often x more damage

100 fires that you can actually put out is better than 1 you can’t.

While I’m sure they meant a hotdog sized amount per day… yeah, thats terrible wording. When I eat hot dogs I might eat 2 or 3 at a cook out or something… then not eat hotdogs for like 3 months. They could have evoked the “amount” better. And even then… who eats that much ultra processed meat?

Looks like the Ryzen Pro line supports it… but the Ryzen line does not.

Simply using AI isn’t an issue… Allowing it to take over in a way that accelerates the removal of the knowledge from our pools of knowledge is a problem. Allowing companies to use AI as a direct replacement of actual medical professionals will remove knowledge from society. We already know that we can’t use AI to fuel more AI learning… the models implode. In order to continue learning more from medicine, we need to keep pushing for human learning and understanding.

Funny that you agree with me and apparently see useful discussion to have here… but downvote me even though the comment certainly added to the discussion.

Oh, and next time don’t put words into someone’s mouth, very much a bad faith action that harms meaningful discussion. I never said we should ban it or never use it. A better answer would be to legislate that doctors must still oversee, or must be the approving authority. That AI can never have a final say in someone’s care and that research must never be sourced from AI sources. All I said, is that if we continue what we’re doing and rely on AI in any meaningful capacity, we will run into problems. Especially in the context of the comment I responded to which opined upon corporation controlled AI.

FFS… they can’t even run a vending machine. https://www.anthropic.com/research/project-vend-1

Oh… and actually I would consider the 85% that it gets to be pretty poor considering that the AI was likely trained on the full breadth of NEJM information. Doctors don’t have that ability to retain and train on 100% of all knowledge of the NEJM, so mistaking things makes sense for them. It doesn’t make sense for something that was trained on NEJM data to screw up on an NEJM case.

My stance is the same for all AI. I’ll use it to generate basic code for me. I’ll never run that without review. Or to jumpstart research into a topic… and validate the information presented with outside direct sources.

TL;DR: Tool is good… Source is bad.

And the risk is that if we rely on AI in any meaningful capacity, it will eventually erode away the expertise who would be knowledgeable enough to detect the problems that the future AI may create/ignore. This assumes even best case where AI isn’t being specifically tampered with.

802.11a was 5ghz, 802.11b was 2.4ghz. Both developed at the same time.

802.11g was 2.4ghz and extended b since 2.4 took off faster than 5ghz in the market.

Since g, n onwards has been used across both bands.

Since 802.11ax we now have 6ghz.

We’re already significantly short on judges. Requiring judges in triplicate would have some crazy side effects. Court cases currently take too long to resolve due to the shortage. The entire system would grind to a literal standstill.

Citizenship is already required to vote in state […] elections.

This is incorrect. The law you think you’re referencing by this is only applicable to Federal positions. Several states explicitly allow non-citizen voting in local elections. Many have no laws on the books at all addressing it. Only 15 states explicitly prohibit non-citizen voting for local positions.

https://ballotpedia.org/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vote_in_the_United_States

This fact alone should mandate that the federal level maintains their own registrations. The State and Federal levels have different applicable voter rolls because the state doesn’t have the same requirements as the federal elections.

Edit: Wrong word.

I had no idea the numbers were that high.

They’re definitely not. First hand experience tells me that when a soldier enlists during in processing they start the process for naturalization. I saw several recruits that came in with me go through the paperwork with a drill instructor. If this 38% is “real” then it must be “all time”. But modern military for sure it is not.

Yeah, while I understand and agree with the sentiment… If you have 300 people and on average somebody gets sick once a year for 2 days… You’re going to have to hit some lotto style stats that they all don’t lineup together to get a clear day of 100% attendance. Now realize that normal is 2-4 times a year… not just once. It’s hard to corral that many people and get them all in on the same day available without some sort of conflict, sick days alone. Forget all the other stuff, birthdays, births, funerals, etc…

The USA is also significantly bigger than every single one of those “comparable” countries. Actually bigger (population, size, really just about any size metric possible) than all of them combined. It’s a bit disingenuous to clump all of the USA together. Which fuels and proves my point about outsiders not understanding the USA.

The range in “comparable” countries is also about 4 years… Why do you think that is? I mean the countries are basically right next to each other like states are here… yet for some reason despite sharing a border Switzerland and Germany have a 4.1 year difference in male life expectancy.

I’m willing to bet money that different parts of the US, possibly even on a state by state or even region by region location would have wildly varying life expectancy than is being insinuated with a single monolithic number for “the USA”… Just like the EU countries listed here…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_life_expectancy

Turns out that is wildly true… The top 30 states all compete with the numbers given and fall within the ranges between Germany and Switzerland given in the charts in your link.

Edit:

If you drill down to counties… which is at the very bottom of the wiki article. You can see even more disparity. And the only reason I bring this up is that some counties in the USA are bigger than entire as countries in the EU. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/largest-counties-in-the-united-states-by-total-area.html

There is issues with getting infrastructure EVERYWHERE when the country is just so damn big and sparse.

Edit2: I should clarify that I don’t doubt that the EU overall is better off… Mostly because being fat is a huge problem in the USA that is much less prevalent than the EU overall. But just clumping shit willy nilly is exactly what I was referencing… Mississippi vs California is a world of difference.

Most Europeans have a poor understanding of what the USA looks like as well… Turns out that most people have no idea what most of the rest of the world looks like! This could even mean inside of their own country! The USA is quite large and very much varied.

These checkpoints are illegal in all of the US.

No they’re not.

https://rdslaw.com/are-police-checkpoints-legal-what-about-my-miranda-rights/

A checkpoint is legal if it is for a valid, specified purpose such as checking compliance with motor vehicle laws, checking for possession of a valid license and registration, or checking the driver’s sobriety.

As long as they check ALL vehicles (not targeting) for licenses as an example… They can carry out additional actions as they find them. So in your little town they can setup a checkpoint, check that everyone has a valid drivers license… And if they find an “illegal” or believe that you may be transporting “illegals” that can evolve into a terry stop, especially in stop and identify states.

Now, I think there are a few states that are more strict on the matter… but certainly not illegal in “all” of the US.

when the doors should always be manual in the first place

Eh… I like the way Ford (I think? I could be misremembering) is doing it. Pull on the handle a little bit to do electronic. Yank it all the way to override and do it manually. One handle… And in the case of “emergency” your instinct is literally what is expected… Yank the shit out of the handle… door will open.
