About the only way you could do worse is to appoint somebody who wants to get rid of the Department of Energy, but doesn’t know what it is, and can’t remember it’s name.

The point isn’t to take advice; it’s to push responsibility and blame onto somebody else.

If you lived in a swing state, you probably got multiple texts and phone calls from Democrats and other left-leaning groups, and very likely somebody knocking at your door too. Shifted the outcome by something like 3 percentage points.

They were talking about it before the election. I even posted a link, but people didn’t care as much.

Sure. Still means that a ton of Americans were trying to figure out what it meant the day after the election. Which is a day later than they needed to.

Tell me about it

Part of that might be a result of much of the population not being tuned in to factual media. The right-wing outlets do a cover-for-30-seconds approach to any bad thing Trump does.

The existing large-scale batteries are largely lithium. There are a bunch of iron-chemistry ones and sodium-ion ones which have been deployed over the past year, with factories going up to scale them up. I’m not expecting to be limited by lithium availability for stationary batteries.

They’re talking about 5+ years on the new nuclear in these. And they haven’t done it before, so a 30% deadline slip is realistic.

You can put up a lot of wind and solar in that time.

Mostly:

• New nuclear is really expensive
• It also takes a long time to deliver
• The new reactor examples in here consist of reactors from suppliers who haven’t done that before

So it has the feel of a plan to promise to spend a lot of money several years from now, and get a lot of PR points today, and quietly cancel the project later.

Yes — also non-native speakers of a language tend to follow similar word choice patterns as LLMs, which creates a whole set of false positives on detection.

“filter out” is an arms race, and watermarking has very real limitations when it comes to textual content.

It doesn’t take people on the internet saying it though; just an association with people saying something and the name, which happens to people who write news articles about something.

The bots are not reliable summarizes like that. They often can’t tell the difference between the author and the subject of a piece of writing.

I was surprised by that too.

All of them. I can post other sites just fine; it’s only washingtonpost.com and wapo.st links that are blocked.

Or from your ISP. The Washington Post ran an article about that today, but links to them get blocked by some sort of filter on lemmy.world

I don’t think that’s tractable.

The scams are designed as alzheimers screening tools. Teaching will help some people, but not that many.

Depends on how close they can be made in watt-hours per kilo. They might be good enough for vehicles once the technology comes into reasonably widespread use, while avoiding a lot of the issues with trying to acquire sufficient lithium.
