It isn’t unusual for small trucks to float. That was one of the advantages of the small S10 sized 2wd with a 4 cyl. Light enough that it floated if you fell through the ice, thus giving you a chance to get to safety. When driving on 2-3 inches of ice this was important. (I personally refuse to walk on less than 4 inches of ice, and need 12 to drive on)

Nothing in the lab report. Everything in the lab report is far to low to be ‘black stuff’. So I don’t know and those who do are not talking.

So far I have to go with this is nothing but haters trying to yell without concern for facts. If we get more details I may change my mind but for now this is nothing and anyone saying otherwise should be embarrassed for their lack of concern for facts.

If you know what to look for you can often find them growing wild as well.

Yes, but for most people the difference doesn’t matter. BMS systems (see other reply) minimize this, and most people typically are doing a much slower charge at home the vast majority of the time. If you really are driving across the US constantly and thus always fast charging for everything it will shorten your battery life. However you will still likely trade in the car before this affects you, and the new owner will note the reduced range but will accept it as a good trade off for the lower cost car.

You see this all the time in human form as well. Many public input meetings for a proposed building should have the plans drawn with a crayon (or at least some plugin to make it look like that). The conversation changes when you make things look like a quick drawing as opposed to the final results.

I drive a Blazer EV. Another one that you won’t recognize as an EV. The only obvious difference is the lack of exhaust pipes in the bumper. (and possibly the lines where the charging port opens/lock of lines for gas filler.)

If they have a case a lawyer will take this for a share of the winnings. You need a few hundred first to send cease and desists, but if those letters don’t work you just add court/lawyer costs to what you are asking.

Does GM make any of those? Sadly in the US market, selling real cars is almost impossible and so no one makes them. I too would prefer a sedan. However, I have to face the reality that in the current fad world I’m a tiny minority that’s not worth serving and so I have to take what I can get., I’m a tiny minority that’s not worth serving and so I have to take what I can get.

Fortunately, you don’t have to evaluate everything yourself. There are other people to do things to when they talk. I reevalued AI and started using it because back in December someone I trusted said hey you should try it it works great. I had previously tried it a year ago and it didn’t work but when someone I trusted said try it again I tried the new models and suddenly they were working and so now I say AI is good. Don’t confuse good with perfect. There are certainly a lot of things AI does poorly. However, it is very helpful in doing complex tasks that I could do, but would just be too tedious.

Those are what make the news. GM has a lot of EVs that look just like the ICE of the same name and they don’t get much news.

Mostly. Price is a complex problem. Cost is a floor factor and automation affects that somehow. It is hard to know when automation lower prices as this depends on relative labor costs which have been going up in China.

That China has terrible workers rights is a fact. That China also has a lot of automation is an unrelated fact that is also true.

While the government might be doing that, the US auto manufactures are taking a different approach. GM makes some nice EVs.

Be careful of those numbers - while the US isn’t world leader in production, the US has continuously gone up in production, just that others have gone up even more. You don’t see this because employment in manufacturing is way down, but production is still up. It no longer looks like we make anything, but the numbers show we make more than when we were world leaders.

When things are new it is often quick for a bit. Then it slows down. My prediction (which has been wrong before!) is that AI has reached the peak of the change.

However you should ALWAYS be ready and willing to change your opinion on anything when new evidence comes in.

That was 2025. This year he has stated that there get many AI reports per day and nearly all are real issues. Things have changed a lot in the past few months.

Though CURL didn’t restart their bug bounty program so there is no inventive to submit slop anymore.

Who knows. Ask in a few years. So far things don’t seem to be slowing down but it hasn’t been long and it seems like there can’t be too many 20 year old holes left.

That’s not true. What Lemmy is assuring you is that mythos is not significantly better than all the other llms that are out there. If you take a code base that hasn’t been examined by any LLM and run mythos on it, it probably will find a lot. However, if you’ve been using all the others and now start using mythos, you will find little more.

But if it wasn’t for this particular fad their jobs would not have been on the line because there would be no alternative for their employers.

There have been many layoffs over the years. Laying people off because the economy isn’t good is nothing new, and AI did nothing to make it more or less possible.

If the economy was really good AI would have been used not to replace people but to make them more productive thus earning the company even more money.

I disagree - people’s jobs are not on the line because of AI. They are on the line because of the economy and AI is the excuse/fad of the year so AI is what is blamed. However I maintain it is the economy not AI at fault.
