EU exists 10% of the time the electrical plugs existed and were regulated in the respective countries. We are talking about new innovations, not something used for 100 years.

Not really, it is about achieving some effect with a specific dose. The effect is about some improvements in your life without tripping. If you're tripping, you're not microdosing.

Nobody is even going to be trying after this comes into effect.

No, it means somebody regulated a single connector type.

And what do I do with the prototype then? There's nobody buying.

Gaia-X funneled money to large corporations that used it to market their shitty corporate services and that allowed them to beat actually innovative cloud computing startups.

And that's supposed to be good? I really don't understand this world...

No, I can't. I need to sell it on both markets to make it profitable. There's no way to have that large margins it could sell just in the US.

EU is the second largest market in the world. Of course everything is going to be made in a way that's sellable in the EU. > Also, you are not banned from engineering other solutions. The police isn't going to knock on the door

Android Play store doesn't have the same user protections as iOS Appstore. There is no reason to force sideload on Android because you can already spy on everything the user does with your Playstore apps (why would you even expect anyt

And then Facebook forces you to use their "web installer" that simply allows them to spy on everything you do on the phone :-)

How do you know how to change the laws if nobody is allowed to try different things (thus innovate)? USB-C didn't come from nowhere, and it wasn't a given that it's better than MicroUSB - first the market tested it, then it b

If you have any hallucinations at all, you're not microdosing. Microdosing is right before the tipping point of recognizing you took something at all. It should be recognizable from long-term effects, not immediately.

I don't have GPT-4 API access yet... Using my ChatGPT Plus subscription so far. Will make a release once I get the API.

I don't live in Germany. Germany is a large state with a lot of empty space. I live in a much smaller, much more densely populated state. Anyways, the average is deceiving - I think you should compare the average of a city like Berlin,

I wonder if that could work on my 1200km-long trip. It'd have to be a truly pan-European company and network. So far we don't even have telecoms like that - I switch between 3 different national networks during the trip... But on

So what if you don't "just put it into a loop and hope" but actually make a complex AI agent with static code analysis capabilities, a graph DB, a work memory etc? I'm doing just that and it works surprisingly well. Curr

People don't use the car to go to work, but they use it a lot after they come home. Families with children use their cars a lot. Even with good public transport, handling affairs of a family of 5 takes a lot of time on the bus - so peo

Oh, we most certainly do. Look at how much energy in the form of gas/diesel is used in Europe - it's definitely not insignificant. The average household has almost 2 cars, many have 3 - and they use them, just not to get to work.

NIMBY is indeed the issue here as well. People don't want wind and solar arrays and they don't want to pay even 20% more for electric distribution or electricity itself. The power distribution company is competent, I have full con

Well, that's US. I am in much more densely populated Central Europe - several orders of magnitude compared to California. For most people here, workplace is 15-30 minutes walk/public transit away, that's not going to solve

Diesel doesn't have to be fossil. Unfortunately, I can't make them switch to algae. But I'd be OK with paying more for it, if it was available. My regular long distance trips are impossible with current electric cars, so that

How do you charge that small battery? Going to the powerplant with it doesn't seem like a good answer.
24.
by throwaway50606 3y ago
Haven't really considered that. I guess the problem is conversion loss. If we're making some sort of fuel at power generation points, why not use that fuel in cars instead of doing another conversion back to electricity? We could

What information about the user does the plugin get? Can you store authentication keys somehow? I want a plugin that just runs stuff in an EC2 instance. I'd also like a plugin that could connect to my email provider and read or send ou

The energy requirements seem high enough that it'd create a new, even higher peak during the night...

by throwaway50606 3y ago
I'm not sure how that helps if the grid is already nearly overloaded and we need gas/coal to cover peak demand. The problem is not the charger and its small battery, the problem is generating clean power and transmitting it.

by throwaway50606 3y ago
Not really my problem - I have a car for long distance trips only and that's going to be diesel at least for another decade or two.

by throwaway50606 3y ago
Yes, exactly. Where I live it's a political thing so I'd know. The situation now is that they say they're not going to do it because people oppose the higher prices. They even stopped allowing people to connect their solar ar

Gas distribution is a very different problem from electricity distribution, though. Gas was initially sold at pharmacies and it worked just fine before specialized shops cropped up. You can't have that with electrical grid.
