Tesla dropped LIDAR from their cars and is relying on just camera visuals for their self-driving feature. That’s a big problem. Watch this comparison between a car that incorporates LIDAR vs a Tesla, and see the Tesla slam into the “pedestrian” again & again.
The tests include a tromp l’oeil wall, which is probably silly, but the other tests are valid.

The image depicts a woman seated on an ornate chair, dressed in a vibrant red tunic with long sleeves and a white undergarment. She wears a white head covering and holds a large sword with a cross-guard, resting it on her lap. Her right hand is raised, and her eyes are closed, suggesting a moment of rest or contemplation. She has a checkered pouch with tassels hanging from her waist. The woman's legs are crossed, and she wears brown boots. To her left, a partially visible figure in an orange and red tunic stands, holding a sword. The background features a banner with triangular flags in various colors, adding to the medieval ambiance. The overall scene is rich in detail, with a focus on the woman's attire and the surrounding elements.

Good read. Argues that renewable energy is expanding rapidly, especially in China, and less energy is needed for more modern devices such as LED bulbs. Fossil fuels are on the way out.
"The US is taking a big risk by doubling down on fossils and combustion cars. It may find in the 2030s that it has achieved the worst of all worlds: left on the sidelines of the global electro-tech economy, while at the same dependent again on imported oil and gas.

The image is a four-panel comic strip featuring two characters. In the first panel, a character in red armor with a hood is holding a device with a skull on it, and a larger armored figure stands behind them. The red-armored character says, "So many millennia has already passed... And yet its machine spirit still... SCREAMS!" In the second panel, the red-armored character repeats, "And yet its machine spirit still... SCREAMS!" The larger armored figure asks, "What does it sound like?" In the third panel, the larger armored figure's helmet is shown with a speech bubble saying, "RAGE." The final panel shows the red-armored character and the larger armored figure standing next to a large bulldozer with a speech bubble saying "RAGE." The background is a simple gradient, and the comic strip includes a Patreon link at the bottom right corner.

Partially renovated log house with a little land, in the nearby village, €15k.
In case you want to be our neighbour 😁
@TJHob Ah, for people like you (and us), there's plenty of abandoned farmsteads in the area, very similar to ours. Those cost (a little) more, because the land is valued more than an old log house. Few here want to restore those, they all want fancy new plastic houses with circulating hot water so you don't have to wait 5 seconds for the water to get warm when you turn the tap on 🤦♂️
Those usually appear on the market in a few weeks when the weather gets more photogenic 😀
