VW Konzern isn't cutting in the e-car segment, it's cutting the old combustion engine production. It's ahead of Tesla in the e-car field in the EU and quickly gaining ground while Tesla shrinks market share.

Tesla is ahead, worldwide, in second place, with VW in fourth place, but VW is a late arrival.

And what Americans are going to do with thrusters, when they have speed limits on all roads, is beyond me, but have fun with that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s like knitting. You can teach a 10yo to knit in an hour. You choose appropriate supplies for a beginner and they can see something come into existence with relatively little effort. Still, few will produce anything beyond a scarf, even fewer will produce something they would wear in public based on a pattern, and fewer still will go on to knit an imaginative piece of clothing they designed themselves.

This reminds me. I feel like this attractiveness range (it applies to both friends and potential mates) explains why so many people think LLMs are *Wow, so smart!* but some of us are completely underwhelmed.

Like, I'm impressed with the stuff it can do and how much tedious effort I can offload to it -- although I have started missing the tedious stuff, actually, there's something to be said for zoning out to tedious labour -- but it mostly seems like a programmable robot and a chatty search engine, to me. And I only interact with the most-advanced models.

Everything lesser seems dull and dumb as dog shit. Like that annoying guy at the döner store who tries to chat you up, but can barely reason his way out of a paper box, and it's like, Just give me the döner, please. 🥙

Mr. Chatbot, just give me the damned döner.

Not thinking Elon is brilliant just means you aren't very smart. I don't have to like something someone else is doing with their intelligence, in order to measure it. He's solidly within my "smart enough to be attractive to me" range (yes, I am my own IQ test), which puts him at least 140.

(Normally, that should be 110, as the attractiveness range is 20-points in either direction, with a curve peaking above her own, but I always shift right at least 10 because I'm good-looking enough to get away with it and women are thin on the ground up there. 😂)

Yeah, this is also how I'm thinking. Squeeze China directly (over supply) and Europe indirectly (over price) while helping Russia. Russia was having difficulty negotiating a pipeline with China, but they're in a much stronger position now, and their oil export profits have recovered from the Ukraine refinery attacks.

That's why Saudi Arabia, etc. are/were on board, since it also drives up their own profits if the price goes up. Kushner and the prince kept meeting up and discussing this sort of thing prior to the war. Two peas in a pod.

Before the Iran War, oil was cheaper in real terms than ever before, and now look at the price. Price of oil is everything.

Electric vehicles are primarily a political topic in the USA. Few people are really considering them from a technological or economic standpoint.

Your PoW is too small. Difficulty size matters. Bigger is better.
