You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: it's not just Tesla, 1/3 of cars in built in the last ten years have passenger/rear windows that are almost impossible to break in an emergency.
21·2 years agoYeah, they’re nothing fancy, but that’s their sole purpose. People aren’t carrying around spark plugs unless they’re car thieves.

112·2 years agoBecause they have special ceramic tools. Windows will always be incredibly easy for thieves to break with no effort, but they’re incredibly hard for people without specialized burglary tools to break.

Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit: Return Of The Junk Stock IPOEnglish
203·2 years agoStocks are basically a percentage of ownership. The share price as a dollar amount is meaningless because it could be 1% of a company or 0.000000001%. The relevant number here is that Reddit is IPOing at a valuation of $5 billion (that stock buys a ¹⁄₁₅₀₀₀₀₀₀₀ interest), which all I can reply with is hahahahahahahaha

Technology@lemmy.world•Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumptionEnglish
31·2 years agoWhat does the government do with all the extra revenue? Theoretically it should be able to reduce other taxes proportionally so that those with low carbon usage come out ahead instead of just being a negative for everyone.

Technology@lemmy.world•Scientists develop mega-thin solar cells that could be shockingly easy to produce: ‘As rapid as printing a newspaper’English
51·2 years agoA car has up to 55 sq. ft. available to panel. A good solar panel gets maybe 20 W/sq. ft. efficiency. An electric car has around an 80 kWh battery. A day has roughly the equivalent of 5 hours of full sunlight.
Then you just multiply/divide everything together, and you get 14½ days.

Technology@lemmy.world•Scientists develop mega-thin solar cells that could be shockingly easy to produce: ‘As rapid as printing a newspaper’English
54·2 years agoThose all sound like efficiency issues still. Covering any form of transportation with solar panels is primarily pointless because of how little power that would generate. Even if you covered every available inch with the most efficient panels invented, it would take over two weeks of sitting in full, direct sunlight to charge a solar-powered car, which you would drain in four hours of driving. As these panels are half as efficient as traditional panels, you could drive maybe
atwo minutes per hour you sit in full sun.

Technology@lemmy.world•The stainless steel body of Tesla's Cybertruck is reportedly leading to issues with gaps in between the panelsEnglish
41·2 years agoIt would slightly increase wind resistance. Every car has weather stripping, making water not a concern even for comparatively very large gaps.

Technology@lemmy.world•505 of 700 OpenAI employees tell the board to resign.English
34·2 years agoThe only explanation I can come up with is that the workers and Altman both agreed in monetizing AI as much as possible. They’re worried that if the board doesn’t resign, the company will remain a non-profit more conservative in selling its products, so they won’t get their share of the money that could be made.

24·2 years agoSo you wouldn’t find anything offensive with “Solidarity with Israel”, “Solidarity with Russia”, or “Solidarity with Afghanistan” since their governments do not represent their people?

1·2 years agoNo, Section 230 protects TikTok as a platform. He would have to sue the ad creator.
GitHub is kind of a cloud service, but it isn’t a server host. Cloud development is just more…abstracted than traditional web development. Instead of controlling a computer and choosing how to store files and managing ports and firewalls and making backups and serving requests and redirecting to closer servers and making sure you have enough computing power but not too much computing power and all that stuff, you instead just give Amazon/Microsoft/Google your code and data and pay them to do all that for you.
