Agreed, it's a really excellent application, and adding this kind of advanced functionality is so valuable. That's why it's been my daily driver since it came out. Tony keeps pushing the envelope for his users.

AI model wrapper TypingMind has just introduced Artifacts for any AI model that supports plugins. It's super easy to use via the prompt box, and gives much more flexibility than just using Claude Artifacts.

Yelp is a thoroughly nasty company.

Lithium mining is on its way out thankfully

Actually, with the right battery and some regular trickle charging, that becomes less of an issue long term.

Regular trickle charging requires electricity.

Sorry, should have explained better. Bigger batteries can be trickle topped up with solar power, even when not a lot of sun. Because the battery has more capacity, it easily keeps up with traditional energy needs day to day.

This is actually really cool. Thanks. Although it would be nicer if the bucket name (clipshare) was not hard wired into the app, and you could select your own bucket.

The readme could also do with highlighting the hardwired name fact. Also more detail on bucket permissions would be helpful maybe?


Funnily enough, I stumbled on the hardwired name bug. I submitted a fix: https://github.com/goshops-com/clipshare/pull/1

thanks!!

*Electric vehicles are 20 times LESS likely to catch fire than ICE vehicles*


Interesting to see some nice fossil fuel talking points in this thread. All to be made redundant since we're on the cusp of a massive revolution in battery costs and safe chemistry. Things are about to get interesting. :)

What is the rate of "User-interaction needed for fire" to "Stand-alone-fire"?

Yeah, a fire that occurs when the car is being driven is a lot different than a fire that happens in the middle of the night when the car is parked in an attached garage. I'm sure the latter sometimes happens with gas cars but the relative rates seem relevant.

I searched around and did find some interesting statistics; most car fires resulting in fatalities occurred due to crashes. 80% of car fire fatalities are men. This strongly suggests that reckless behavior is by far the greatest risk factor.

And 20 times harder to handle ?

Not really. If there’s thermal runaway you may have to douse them with water for a few hours. But there’s equipment now that can help with this, letting the firefighters walk away while the car battery safely dissipates its heat.

Lets look a the costs for the wreck disposal.

Yes lets

20 times less likely by average? There are a lot less ev on the road.

"EVs were involved in approximately 25 fires for every 100,000 sold. Comparatively, approximately 1,530 gasoline-powered vehicles and 3,475 hybrid vehicles were involved in fires for every 100,000 sold."

Sounds like some "forgot to mention year sold/age" shenanigans.

Yeah, there really should be something akin to human mortality risks available, but for cars. Human mortality is always divided up by age, and various car risks should also be divided up by model year.

> An analysis of car fire reports from 2012 to 2022 revealed that a passenger EV battery has a 0.0012% of catching fire, while the same sample indicates that ICE cars have a 0.1% chance of catching fire.

20 times less likely compare to an ICE vehicles of similar model and age.

The amount of EVs on the road in Norway is fairly close to the number of ICE vehicles. So the statistics coming from those areas are very robust.


Everyone I know and almost every neighbor has an EV. Basically every new car sold is an EV. None of these EV's have catched on fire as far as I know. It's not really a problem.

This piece really strikes at the heart of the current abuse/explosion of the open source ecosystem. There needs to be a new license which explicitly states that a project will continue it's open source ethos in perpetuity? Or something like that?

(by the way, I think the word they were searching for is 'scuttles', not scurries.)


Enshitification at work, in glorious technicolor.


I'm not an expert, but I guess if the training is already done then there's no way to remove the content without retraining, the weights of the model are already set? So I don't think that would be the reason.

That’s how I understand it
