I know, but there is a real issue with small historical cities like with Venice where tourists can swamp a city that can’t really handle it.

It’s clearly a case of winner take all and recently, the open weight model will be 80% as good for free and you can run it on open cloud services for 20% of the cost. The top ai companies will only be able to continue with market share dominance if they have cheap subsidized and unprofitable monthly plans, and their goal of having billions of dollars in profitable but incredibly expensive enterprise token use will be undercut by those free Chinese models. People using free model most of the time with the expensive paid model only used selectively for reviews isn’t enough money for the ai companies to win.

But this only applies to the next 5 or 6 years, after that if Nvidia can keep going with big improvements then you can get a 100 to 1000x reduction in cost per token that will change that, but it’s hard to see farther out.

The only one that is relevant is Kyoto and New Orleans which both have cramped historical areas that can be an issue with too many tourists.

Yes, but it’s incorrect if you act like it’s gone too.

That was a meme but not really true. The Bradley was great and is great for decades to come. And any military vehicle can be fixed with the 2 to 5 generation upgrades they get.

It’s never been a real word. Anything including the original ww2 missiles could be called a drone. Missiles are rockets with a warhead, but then you have cruise missiles that are basically completely different in every way. It’s just a category.

No, this is a common misconception. You see headlines about people being fired. But that’s just top brass, it has 0 effect on units in the field or established practices. It can lead to the war starting and being unprepared but it wouldn’t affect this.

It works better if you have dedicated fuel collectors that act as refuel points

Majel was fine with her voice being used for computer so I don’t think there’s any problem there.

The place is bad, the pizza is great

Food shortages. It’s largely timing because the Russia war had already limited shipments of grain and increased costs, and they cut off food suddenly. It’s not like there was a transition period and they had time to plant crops and have a growing season.

It’s less trustworthy in the guidelines but it’s not defunded.

It was all Big Boat trying to push large boat sales.

Green hydrogen only works when you have more energy than needed and you’re 100% renewable electricity. You could have done that with nuclear power in the 60s in theory. But solar in abundance is the only likely route it will work.

It can be stored as stable ammonia and move by tanker or pipeline, batteries are hourly to daily storage, only chemical storage can handle seasonal and annual level storage at much higher amounts. Good for winter heating or seasonal high power use. Now it is worse in ways and won’t need to be used everywhere but in certain areas and uses it is great.

It can work for some things that need direct burnable gas. Otherwise EU will stop using polluting NG and go electric and electric only isn’t good for some things. And no, there’s no special reason that makes hydrogen impossible to use, it’s just finicky with seals and needs more energy to produce. Green hydrogen is basically just solar power converted to chemical energy, and you can use ammonia as simple carrier liquid for long distance transit.

It’s already at the lowest orbit it can be, which will eventually fall into Mars in 40myears.
