voidx@futurology.todayOPMto Futurology@futurology.today•The L.A. Fires Show the Need for Climate RealismEnglish15·5 个月前I fail to understand why they stick with fossil fuels even though renewable deployments are cheaper than ever. Although there’s misinformation and politics, they should look at long term profits…
voidx@futurology.todayto Autonomous Vehicles@futurology.today•Tesla finally wide releases v13 'self-driving', Elon says your mind will be blown againEnglish4·6 个月前HW3 owners can now expect “a much updated v12.6.”
It’s crazy how they left HW3 and below cars abandoned. Tesla’s promises are worthless.
voidx@futurology.todayOPto Autonomous Vehicles@futurology.today•Tesla's social media posts falsely implied that its cars are robotaxis, NHTSA warnsEnglish7·7 个月前Damn it looks even more likely as per this article:
At the moment, there is a major obstacle to Musk’s self-driving ambitions: Federal regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have been hesitant to lay out a path for approving the next generation of robotic vehicles.
But with Musk now firmly in Trump’s inner circle, the billionaire is in a stronger position to influence development of federal rules that would put more of the cars on the road — an approach he proposed in a recent call with financial analysts.

voidx@futurology.todayOPto Autonomous Vehicles@futurology.today•Waymo meets water fountainEnglish3·8 个月前Lol, atleast it was the safest option. Somebody mentioned that Waymo’s remote assistance was able to guide around it later.
The most ideal handling would be to take the adjacent lane like a human would I guess.

Climate change disturbs the rainfall distribution patterns, leading to extreme rain in some areas and less in others. It’s a very complex system and there are a lot of variables evolved. One example is changing wind patterns that creates high pressure regions that we see during heatwaves.
voidx@futurology.todayOPMto Futurology@futurology.today•Ending jet lag: Scientists discover secret to regulating our body clockEnglish15·8 个月前The study also addressed the wider implications of these findings. CK1δ plays a role in several important processes beyond circadian rhythms, including cell division, cancer development, and certain neurodegenerative diseases. By better understanding how CK1δ’s activity is regulated, scientists could open new avenues for treating not just circadian rhythm disorders but also a range of conditions.
voidx@futurology.todayMto Futurology@futurology.today•The North Atlantic Transmission One Link (Nato-L) wants to connect the European & American electricity grids via a 3,500 km cable to share excess renewable energy.English8·9 个月前There’s a similar project that would supply power from Australia-Asia that spans 4,600 km when completed. But such big projects could easily be caught up in various delays, and it’s a problem if a country is too dependent on a single power link. Self-reliant renewable energy production definitely seems more secure.
voidx@futurology.todayOPMto Futurology@futurology.today•Generative AI is reportedly tripling carbon dioxide emissions from data centersEnglish4·9 个月前It’d be great if AI is powered entirely by renewables, but how trustworthy is that target?
Companies and politicians are known to drag their feet switching to renewables or use greenwashing to show they care more about climate than they actually do.
voidx@futurology.todayOPMto Futurology@futurology.today•Earth to have new mini-moon for two monthsEnglish9·9 个月前Quoting from another article:
The researchers said, unfortunately, it would be too dim to see with the naked eye. According to the NASA JPL, 2024 PT5 has an absolute magnitude of 27.6, which is very dim and won’t be visible through most amateur telescopes.
