Bit of both maybe? I know there’s solarpunkmemes, but it’s not super active. I do feel like I’d want a feel of the community talking crap rather than the broader Lemmy ecosystem. Got any recommendations of good communities? Maybe just subscribing to a couple will change up the vibes.

This is not a critique btw. More just idle banter.

Anyone else feel like this place is a bit sterile? Reddit, for all its faults (and there are many) just has a good meme game. This place is more wholesome but every now and then you want a bit of popcorn bullshit.

I think the global car industry is in one of those shock-denial-anger-acceptance cycles. They cannot fathom how BYD (and China in general) can do this, and the answer is that like a decade ago, they bought up mines which they are now using for a fully vertically integrated production pipeline. This means that some of what they’re saying is true, and some is cope.

Having said that, the article still reads like “you are getting cars worth more than you are paying for”, or “cars which are less than our manufacturing costs”, and like, yeah, we can tell. The big issue with Hyundai isn’t the price, it’s that they cannot make better cars. You compare the Inster against even the Kia EV3 and it’s just a bit shit. They literally have all the weirdnesses of the Chinese automakers alongside being Euro-car expensive.

They don’t need to get cheaper, they need to get better.

I don’t know if there’s a name for it, but an increasing number of recipe writers are using only weight based measurements. This is super handy because you just have a scale, add ingredients, and just tare as you need. The measurements are also more accurate because, eg, flour can be compacted, so “1 cup of flour” could vary by a lot depending on how you measure it.

The AI cores? I’m pretty sure they’re for AI right?

Any game where the AI cores of modern GPUs are used for actual AI and not graphics.

Yeah, setting up the Servarrs (Lidarr/Radarr/Sonarr + Prowlarr) along with your bt client, then trawling opensignups to get onto private torrent sites.
