As far as I can tell disabling down-votes on an instance just hides that feature from users on that instance.

Thanks, that's good to know.

I would prefer if down-votes would not federate

Is lemmy more aggressive with relaying than microblogging implementations? In my experience favorites/reactions rarely make it to third-party instances (not involving in reacting or being reacted) of the latter.

community standards really differ

Couldn't this be solved by per-community rules?

It does require each feature to be part of the training dataset to compose the result. Even better, the state-of-the-art stochastic models can output identical data but you can completely ignore the original work's license. Yeah science, bitch!

most inefficient way to provide an existing and cheap feature

Ah yes, because the whole so-called innovations on handheld computer/camera are about making efficient use of resources and totally have nothing to do with making as much money as possible!

I WANT to capture it myself

Speak for yourself, similar tech's already been commercialized.

Hopefully not, robbing ships and coastal areas isn't exactly friendly to begin with.

My comment about range was on the electric motorcycles, which unlike electric bicycles, without electricity you'll be stuck in the middle of the road. Electric motorbikes shouldn't go in the bicycle's lane either since they are faster and have surprisingly high acceleration. Indeed they're still better than electric cars at mass but that's a pretty low bar to begin with.

BTW a nuclear family actively using two cars is ridiculous IMHO (perhaps just cultural difference?) and I suppose they have their reasons, e.g. weather or bad roads, so the solution for them should probably be a smaller car (one/two seats) instead.

wrong use of meme, but yea

that assumes a indefinitely large number of levers, and if so the trolley's efficiency can follow Moore's law or sth idk

Not sure how it goes for North Americans' purchase power, but affordable and thus common ones in Việt Nam have rather poor range (~40 km brand new) and we have no public infrastructure for charging so they're usually used for urban commute only. Batteries need to be changed every few years and as recyclable as any other Li-ion ones (optimistically below 50%, but closer to 0% in reality). They're pretty much electric cars that are more energy efficient but worse range.

Personally I'd prefer ebikes which use less rare-earth resources and allow one to pedal even if the battery runs out, or just a purely mechanic one on relatively flat terrains. That being said, if you consider the obesity rate in North America, neither is a realistic option.

considering xkcd 1200, the same could be said for the flatpak/snap trust model Fred unmasking Flatpak to see it's just piping curl to sh behind
