According to Biden,
Great logic.
Oh by the way, there are no signs that Sotomayor is planning to retire either…
Oh good, I guess Biden has absolutely nothing to worry about then…
Okay, so he’s still able to read off a teleprompter and seem “forceful”. Now put him in front of the editorial board of any major newspaper for an hour long interview.
From the individual consumer’s point of view, it totally makes sense to keep guzzling gasoline. US gas prices are far cheaper than elsewhere in the developed world, even after inflation. US carmakers have priced EVs at premium price points, and the charging infrastructure is mediocre. Add to this Biden’s lock-out of EV imports and efforts to keep gas prices down ahead of the elections.
Anyway, it’s a difficult set of problems, but I would not characterize Biden administration’s climate record as being “full of wins”. They’re like a startup that brags about receiving lots of VC funding (big wins!), but flailing about when it comes to delivering an actual product.
The Biden admin’s main selling point on climate is bragging about how much funding they’ve gotten from Congress. That’s a legislative achievement, but the execution part – which is the point of their branch of government – has been incredibly rocky. You got $7.5B in funding for EV charging yielding 8 EV chargers nationwide. And Biden has slapped big tariffs on Chinese solar panels and EVs, so that renewables will get more expensive and American carmakers who are skeptical about the EV transition will get to drag their feet even more.
TLDR: Unskew those polls! Media biased against Democrats! No one could possibly vote for a convicted felon! Biden is fine!
Sheesh.
Just Google for Mihoyo and Energy Singularity. They invested $65M back in 2022.
This is the one that’s partly funded by Mihoyo, using the absurd amounts of money they made with Genshin Impact.
The power of the anime waifu, in the palm of your hand…
Saul Goodman probably would…
It’s nothing to do with stopping pedos. The people pushing this year-in and year-out don’t care THAT much about pedos. It’s not a cause that’s motivating enough for them to be putting in so much effort, trying to sneak in legislation after being repeatedly rebuffed.
Did the car get successfully recharged though?
Loyalty pledges are kabuki theatre. There’s no point talking about them, since the state has plenty of degrees of freedom to force citizens to do what they want, with or without them. And not just the Chinese state; the US just outright decided one day that no US citizen will be allowed to work in the Chinese semiconductor industry, as though citizens are property of the government – they didn’t need no signed loyalty pledges to enforce that.
Yes, you caught me out as a pro-CCP shill. All hail Xi Jinping, thought leader of the world (please ignore my previous comments calling him a dumbass).
Clearly the university did have stuff China wanted, otherwise China wouldn’t have targeted it. You don’t have to be educated at IC to figure that out.
Chinese orgs love signing MOUs. Looking at the underlying story, this looks like bog standard research into computer vision and related topics. If it were the Chinese government wanting to steal stuff, they’d be going after companies. There won’t be anything in Imperial College that they won’t find already in top Chinese universities, let alone their tech giants.
Huh? China has much better domestic sources of AI tech than anything out of Imperial College.
The British always like to think they’re on par with the US in all things, so I guess now they’re imagining they’re the world leaders in AI and the Chinese want to steal their tech…?
It’s pretty sad to see Vox’s decline into gutter clickbait media. I guess it was inevitable once Klein and Yglesias left, and their mediocre minions took over.
Reads like NIMBY propaganda. “Oh no muh construction dust.” Bitch you live in a desert…
The US can make them, they’ll just cost $10,000 and be several design generations behind the world market.
Don’t cry. Retire so that Biden can nominate your replacement.
Years later, after untold exaflops of computing, the AI’s answer appears on the screen: “Dunno”.
Polling of hypotheticals is notoriously flaky. If a fresh D comes in as nominee, all the “have to beat Trump” talking points will still be there, and all the “this guy has dementia” talking points will be wiped away. It’s hard to imagine any other nominee having negatives that could be worse than credible accusations of dementia.
Edit: except for Harris.
