No, it’s not the single year loss making me say that. The CEO has basically said they can’t compete with BYD, they’ve been chasing hydrogen with no progress, for 2 decades they have been actively avoiding the EV market (sticking only with hybrids), and now, even when the writing is on the wall that the future is Electric, they’re running away once again with their tail between their legs. They were looking for an excuse to not do electric (as they have for ages) and the US tax credit expiration was exactly what they were looking for.

And the biggest issue is that the EVs from BYD (and pretty much everyone else) are going directly for their core market: value-plus compact cars, cross-overs and small SUVs. Their market share is about to tank in Europe and probably Canada, like is already happening in China. I can even see it getting hit in the US with gas prices and inflation killing ICE sales this year.

The funny thing is that they’ve seen it for motorcycles, but not for cars and SUVs. So maybe that will save them.

Honda is done unless they change leadership and direction. I expect a buyout/merger/bankruptcy announcement soon.

Yes, just do it.

Knowing another language is always good, and the best thing about JavaScript is that there is so much available source code to read out there. It’ll be super easy to learn and you’ll be shocked at how much you can do in pure JS. I once wrote a graphics editor that blew my item mind…

You’re meant to colour in the background, clearly.

This will go viral, smart marketing.

Yes, I mean tab stops set to two spaces.

2 spaces is pretty common in JavaScript… And I think I remember it being pretty standard in HTML way back when. Screens used to be smaller, with low resolution. 4 spaces was a luxury.

Isn’t 2 spaces the standard in Ruby? I don’t use it, but I’ve heard such things.

The byline of the article you posted is “Americans see a role for AI in some areas of society” and it clearly states “a majority is open to letting AI assist them with day-to-day tasks and activities”.

Being “afraid” of it isn’t the same as not using it.

“Normies” don’t default to pro AI [emphasis mine]

That’s a pretty significant distinction there. People are using AI even if they’re not “paying” (directly) for pro versions.

A lot of people are using AI in ways they don’t realize as well. Like the click through rate on Google search results is terrible now since people are just reading the AI generated summary and moving on (Study Confirms Google AI Overviews Cut Organic Clicks 38% https://share.google/8gllKLbbC0Onygqvz).

Other people eat up and share AI slop articles, videos and photos without even batting an eye. I ask them if they’ve thought about whether it’s real or not. Nope. I point out its AI slop. “oh, that sucks. But it’s still hilarious/cool/fascinating/etc.”

I know several people who don’t even think twice about using free AI directly. Need to translate something? Copilot. Need to write an email? Copilot. Need to post something to instagram? Copilot (for text, not the photos - as far as I know.)

Will they pay for it? No. Will they say they’re worried about AI? Yup. Do they connect what they’re doing to the issue? Nope.

If you only pay attention to the prevailing winds here on Lemmy, your view of the world will be very skewed.

Yeah or just read the reviews. Especially the recommendations.

Seems like a “win-win” for the power companies to me. Not sure what your problem is.

I learned this playing Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego.

Captain: Red Alert!

Riker: Oh was it a good book, Captain?

Back in the day we used postscript and by extension, Ghostscript, for making PDFs. I wonder if that’s still a thing.

Fossilfuels.ca isn’t a registered domain.

Create a company called Fossil Fuels Canada. Make up some bullshit about using fossil fuels for manufacturing state of the art technology. Funnel money to wind turbine manufacturing and claim some percentage of energy used in manufacturing comes directly from fossil fuels.

“Invest” in Fossil Fuels Canada and recollect money from Trump.

I meant specifically about the Insight.

Theatres hate it when OP takes a seat.

I think the prevailing theory is a SpaceX vehicle venting fuel after launching from California at 8:30pm and orbiting once (approx 90 min) to be seen over BC at 10pm. Given the speed it goes across the sky and the very wide range of locations it was spotted from, something very high up (like LEO high) makes sense.

Cool to see though!

Looks like mold to me. May not have been stored at proper temperature for the whole distribution channel. Take it back to the grocery store and/or contact the manufacturer.

compliance car

I’ve never heard that, what’s the deal there?

Yeah, I had decent, cheap, wireless earbuds, which made me think you could get something similar that could just act as a jack for wired headphones. Maybe they exist, but the one I tried was not it.
