January 24, 20251 yr Not a day to use the A68. charging : Yes you can. You've got to stay home, so you can charge off your exercise bike. Yes but that is very co2 inefficient. Every human on the planet emits about 1kg of co2 per day while just sitting around. Make them generate significant power and that goes up dramatically.

January 26, 20251 yr Isn't that BYD the new VTOL model ? 95% of EV fires in China are on cars with NMC/ternary batteries. China has moved away from these batteries to LFP. The fire in Moss Landing is also of this type of batteries.
January 27, 20251 yr Nvidia stock dropped 13% this morning. All because of Chinese DeepSeek R1 that was developped on a tiny budget of just $5.58 millions, beating Open AI o1 which reportedly cost 20 times to train. The technique is reinforced learning. You give the AI a test and the result. The AI will try to figure out how to get there. It won't get there right away, but it will succeed eventually and improves itself while doing that. DeepSeek R1 is built from DeepSeek V3 (the $5.58 Mil budget) using reinforced learning. My guess is anyone can now start with an open source LLM like DeepSeek R1, get NVIDIA DIGITS (1 petaflop AI FP4 compute) for about $2500 to train your model and float your company for billions in a few weeks.

Refuse collection is what people need the councils for. In France, bin men come everyday except weekends.
January 27, 20251 yr the council set fire to my rubbish to make power and charge me for it and pump all my £hit in to the river i can do both of those for free ill £hit on the floor n wipe me ass on the wall otherwise that $hit will cost a fortune and also taking the pi$$ will add to the bill
January 27, 20251 yr Child sexual exploitation by organised networks BEASTS and monsters... I actually typed 'nonsters' by mistake as I am almost in the dark. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2ld7enjj9eo
January 28, 20251 yr Stupid idea. Refuse collection is what people need the councils for. In France, bin men come everyday except weekends. Not in rural Brittany they don't. Ours come every week. One week they collect the brown general rubbish bin. The next week it's the yellow recycling bin.
January 28, 20251 yr It is usually only the landfill bin whose collection time is being stretched severely. The logic is households that recycle effectively don't produce much landfill waste, and a full bin is intended as a signal to try harder.
January 28, 20251 yr It is usually only the landfill bin whose collection time is being stretched severely. The logic is households that recycle effectively don't produce much landfill waste, and a full bin is intended as a signal to try harder. Which is odd. If I had a big enough bin it wouldn't matter whether recycling was collected weekly, monthly, quarterly or even annually. On the other hand general waste including food waste needs to be collected relatively frequently for hygiene reasons. I don't see how it can be safe for organic waste to only be collected once a month.

These cut backs are I think more likely driven by attempts to keep money they collected from the residents and use it for other purposes than the residents want and need. Local councils in the UK have become far too powerful and forget that they are there to serve the public rather than to promote their own political and social objectives. They are absolutely immune to criticism - rather like the BBC. They are always right, and the local government ombudsman is a joke. Local councils are primarily the bin men and road repair people - neither of which functions they want to perform these days, preferring a whole list of woke garbage instead. I remember holidays in Paris in the 1970s and 1980s when I stayed with my brother who has lived there since 1975, where each early morning we woke to the sound of bin men emptying the poubelles. There were I recall strict regulations about not putting bins in the street except at the correct time. Last time I was in London the streets were lined by horrible piles of plastic bags, often ripped open by foxes and stray cats. The stink was abominable. In Newcastle we had stout plastic wheelie bins from about the end of the eighties and we had weekly collections. Now the collections are fortnightly, which is FAR too infrequent - in summer, even an enclosed bin smells if there is organic matter in it. The move to disposable nappies is an additional issue. God knows what that would smell like after a month during summer!
