The electric automobile is as old as the automobile itself. However back then batteries were way way worse, so the combustion engine won the race back then.

It would be so cool to be able to generate these with AI models from OSM data. I did some experiments with Stable Diffusion and they turned out okay, but you have to decide between accuracy and style.

I once taught private lessons in math on calculating the area of a circle and I wanted to show the students how much cheaper per area a larger pizza is. So we of course got the diameters of pizzas from their favorite restaurant and started calculating. Then we found out that the normal sized pizza was actually the cheapest per area. It wasn‘t quite what we expected, but a very good math lesson for the attendees nonetheless: The owner lost money, because they were bad at maths.

Thanks for creating Lemmy! I like it a lot :) Do you have any ideas/plans on a privacy and user focused algorithmic view? If Lemmy wants to be big, I think we need something like this.

Although a cool comic strip I believe this to be a fallacy. Here‘s an excerpt from a summary of the book „Creativity Inc“, which has a lot more insights like these:

Our view of the past, in fact, is hardly clearer than our view of the future. While we know more about a past event than a future one, our understanding of the factors that shaped it is severely limited.

“We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it—and stop there,” as Mark Twain once said, “lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again—and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.”

Basically you will never understand why something happened only that it happened. Changing the probable reasons of an event can have more unwanted side effects. Also the influence of oneself is often more limited than we think.

I really hope that some of those interfaces (keyboard, expansion cards, expansion bay) will become standards used by multiple companies together investing in a common platform. Btw I’m really happy with my framework laptop :)
