radium3d··on Grapevine canes can be converted into plastic-like material that will decompose
Just saying, leaves are a constantly renewable resource, and as trees get older/larger you get an increased supply naturally
radium3d··on Grapevine canes can be converted into plastic-like material that will decompose
As an owner of 30 trees, mainly oak trees, why the heck don't we do this with leaves...? I throw away 3 bins FULL of leaves every week and I can't even keep up. They drop leaves year round.

radium3d··on U.S. government takes 10% stake in Intel
I think it's a good choice for Intel as they are one of the very few who own fabs and fabs are extremely valuable pieces of equipment. Just because of 3 consecutive annual CPU "bugs" in essence, they should not shut down forever. Try try again.
radium3d··on Grok 4
I live in one of the most expensive areas (SoCal) and it's /still/ cheaper than gas.

So you're an outlier who drives well below the average miles per year in the USA. Obviously this isn't going to work for every customer but it IS a conservative estimate for the average.

Tesla focused its pricing on drivers of gasoline vehicles, and their gas cost savings estimates are actually quite low compared to the real savings you will achieve. It was annoying when you already drive an EV and are buying a Tesla though to have to uncheck the savings option to see the pre savings prices. They changed it now so by default it only includes the $7500 and no longer automatically checks the gas savings.

EV (133mpge) 0.045 cents per mile (Tesla Model 3 SR+ RWD) Gas (26mpg) 0.155 cents per mile (Subaru crosstrek)

Based on my experience I highly recommend everyone buy any EV if you drive an ICE vehicle. Even charging at DC fast chargers still saves money, but if you can charge at home, you are really missing out on savings big time and it's time to look seriously into it.

radium3d··on Cloudflare to introduce pay-per-crawl for AI bots
Yeah but if Google doesn’t provide the answer I just grok it. Most of the time Google’s ai answers are wrong while grok is spot on interestingly
radium3d··on Will the AI backlash spill into the streets?
We have already seen the big improvement in Tesla FSD. Have you test driven it recently? The most impressive part for me was it driving us all the way into the parking lot and parking us in a spot at the destination.

Wow I chose to start using redis in the right week :)
radium3d··on AI is killing some companies, yet others are thriving – let's look at the data
Actually, it's the Korean and Chinese bots that hit pretty hard without much (or any) throttling.
radium3d··on AI is killing some companies, yet others are thriving – let's look at the data
Blocking AI content bots is the name of the game. Luckily most of the big hitters stick with a unique user agent string and/or IP.
radium3d··on HTML whitespace is broken (2024)
I do the “you’re probably not going to do” mentioned all the time. Maybe that’s why I haven’t had many instances of needing to adjust for white space in html over the last almost 30 years of web development haha

As a web developer and server manager AI trainers scraping websites with no throttle is the problem. lol
radium3d··on WordPress Is in Trouble
But Wordpress.org actually contains a well reviewed library of the plugins where the review scores and reviews are actually helpful and have the support forum right there as well. It’s going to be the most difficult part to “fork”
radium3d··on WordPress Is in Trouble
Gravity forms is actually quite an amazing form system. Do you have another that handles repeater fields and all the rest with a great ux?
radium3d··on WordPress Is in Trouble
Reddit is not GPL so while hostile it’s incomparable to WordPress core. The user base of Reddit would have to rewrite from scratch. Wordpress can and will be forked if it comes to it. There are enough businesses relying on it that it would be worth it to re govern it under an alternate name.

radium3d··on A Burrito Is a Monad
Relegating "tortilla" to one word with no options is a travesty it's the most important part of my California Burritos from Juanitas.
radium3d··on Sanding UI
It's the balance between staying in business, going out of business, reducing employee count, increasing employee count, etc. Also how much unpaid overtime is the dev willing to put into the project. That seems to be what causes most of us to not be allowed to put in the required time for properly sanding the UI.
radium3d··on Bypassing airport security via SQL injection
Part of the issue here may be the policy of "need to know" for these high profile secret systems. If the only person who "needs to know" doesn't know what they're doing then the proper audits of the code will never be done.

Lol, that's the oldest trick [fail?] in the book
radium3d··on No more boot loader: Please use the kernel instead
I dual boot Win/Arch easily with EFISTUB setup. It's super quick to boot to a usb stick of arch if I need to edit anything with the configuration in an "emergency" situation as well. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/EFISTUB
radium3d··on Tesla shares new video of Optimus training in a factory
According to Hertz investor relations documentation

"Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was negative $567 million in the quarter driven mainly by a $588 million increase in vehicle depreciation compared to the first quarter of 2023, of which $195 million related to EVs held for sale. The Company commenced a broad fleet refresh during the quarter and has revenue and cost initiatives in place to enhance the Company's future profitability."

So only 33% or $195 of the $588 million dollar increase in vehicle depreciation was from their EV. Sounds like the main cause of their woes is the interest rate hikes the Fed implemented which initiated a period there from 2022 through part of 2023 where it was the worst time to buy a vehicle of all time as everything interest-rate linked deprecated greatly after going from ~3% to 5% interest rate so quickly.

It has nothing to do with Tesla vehicles not meeting expectations. The only expectation they didn't meet was an expected appreciation in value as occurred between 2021 and 2022, but that was the same for ALL vehicles. Personally I can say from my experience with my mid Dec 2023 Model Y it has far exceeded my expectations, and prices have actually gone up since I purchased it.

radium3d··on Judge mulls sanctions over Google's destruction of internal chats
That's interesting, but how is that any different at all from discussing a topic in person in which it is immediately discarded so long as it is not recorded? Seems identical and it should not be considered concealment in any way, even if it's for "sensitive" meetings, as they could have just as easily been done in person verbally with no recordings. This really feels like authorities overstepping because they want to know things they weren't meant to know and are just personally offended.
radium3d··on Tesla conducting more layoffs, including entire Supercharger team
He's done this before and it ended in Tesla having increased head count, over double the output of vehicles, so I'm curious how this will turn out in the coming months. I am thinking a repeat of the last time.
radium3d··on Tesla conducting more layoffs, including entire Supercharger team
Or in a matter of months they'll be back on track expanding charging infrastructure, nobody knows.
radium3d··on Tesla conducting more layoffs, including entire Supercharger team
I agree, this is how you continuously re-kindle the startup environment. It's kind of like reformatting your computer and installing your OS fresh. You have to do it, it's a pain in the ass, you don't want to do it, but when you're done you have a clean, speedy computer without all the built up logs, junk etc taking up the hard drive bogging things down. Tesla will rehire again shortly and we'll be seeing employee numbers rise back again. I'm seeing a lot of commentary that will be irrelevant in a month or less once the careers page reopens positions listings.
