Great results. Would an AI build for this not be better, or is it just meant as a kind of benchmark for LLMs?

I dont think its irrelevant at all, but this is the Energy Department. They do different work.

EU should add the label you talk about for sure, but this is not the tree to bark at.

They will probably do somewhat the same. They only need battery capacity, idle test and stress test.

No different than any other electronic like washing machines, TVs etc, and then adding battery capacity.

I dont see how the energy label would need that.

Software is a different department, and EU is currently looking at making laws about unlocking the phones for alternative OS software, which seems like a much better approach.

They already have credit score that you obtain by doing what they tell you to with your money.

EU is democratic, which also means everyone can propose a law. Never have EU put a backdoor into anything, but its true that there have been law proposals for it.

Never voted through.

EU could potentially make a group category like for Norway or Switzerland, and then take in other countries all around the world to cooperate more and stand together with the EU on some issues.

Canada would be a great candidate. Maybe even Australia, but I dont really know anything about their politics.

Everything is provocative if your dick is orange.

EU and its contries are pro open source and I fucking love it.

Yeah, the line for when its net positive is key. Otherwise we cant really draw conclusions.

Cant find anything in there thats worse than today tho.

The best news from this is that the EU is willing to go these ways. Incredible for consumers in the long run and to combat monopolies.

Yes, they could sponsor something else, but what we also really want are choices and competition.

The presidental candidate from a few years back, Andrew Yang, even championed thorium reactors in the US, and now here we are.

No, true.

But factoring CO2 emitted from manufacturing + transportation from factory to your house, it will be net negative in emission. Even from transportation alone.

You cant gather more energy out of the rain than its potential energy from you roof to the ground.

Even at 100% efficiency it wont do anything.

It is the same argument, but you cant even start to compare it. EV emits less than manufacturing, this wont at its current state.

Lets just look at the transportation.

These will probably be manufatured in Asia. Lets just say its not, and its only 20km from your house. How much energy would it take for you to get these with a car, or how much energy would the truck require to get them to the store.

Even if the car/truck is electric, these tubes would never in 100 years generate enough for the product to move to you.

And this is only if its manufactured nearby.

So infinite energy in the UK then. /s

12 LED’s for 20 seconds is bad. The CO2 released just in production and even transporting them to your house will counter this.

Its a cool thought, but this is counter productive.

If its because hes part of the opposition, its worrying. But Bluesky mentions he also violates their ToS, so it might be worse in some way.

Theres too much missing information to make an opinion, but we should keep an eye out either way for more examples of this.

Probably, but it could also have been incredibly racist and whats worse.

This guy really needs to show what he posted. Why hide that.
