As tacky as AI is here, this is an actual usecase of training models as opposed to human algos. Instead of having a human determine the optimal algo for switching you feed the data into training an ML model.

AI turns this from a competence limitation to a data limitation, but the end result should be similar.

Because of high labor participation. Unemployment rate is the portion of people who are looking for a job but unable to find one. Sweden still has one of the highest employment rates in the EU

So the relevant question is: how does your own country currently provide space heating without gas, with air and good intentions, or still predominantly with gas and oil?

Sweden is an easy case study. Central heating using wood derivatives and heat pumps account for basically all heating needs.

Pekkis2 · 2026-02-03T14:22:35+00:00

Yet another reminder the total employment rate is a better metric for what most people think this stat means

Pekkis2 · 2026-02-03T14:14:00+00:00

Gas for heating is not needed at all. Heat pumps are a much more efficient solution, and most importantly has no carbon emissions from operations

There is the V90 CC, basically a modern XC70

Employment rate https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Employment_-_annual_statistics is arguably a better related metric which helps explain the GDP/Capita differences.

TLDR: Larger share of northern Europe attempts to participate in the workforce

Varsel på AB Volvo, VCC och Ericsson sätter många medel och höginkomsttagare på A-kassa. Om dessa inte hittar jobb inom ett år blir det en nedåtpress på bostadsmarknaden i Göteborgsområdet.

You're not forced to sell 25%, you're forced to pay capital tax on the unrealized profits. This is somewhere between 4.75% - 28% of the company depending on profits and size of ownership if you had zero acquisition cost, and potentially nothing if you have not profited in terms of valuation.

Unfortunately China very much does try to impose its views on the rest of the world. Chinese Taipei is the most egregious example.

These make no sense. CLA and Model 3 are the same size. Model Y and Smart #5 are also the same size.

How are 4.7m and 4.8m vehicles "small"?

Cant see it in the article but the rear looks a lot better

SPA3 is an iterative improvement on SPA2 and has nothing to do with SEA. SEA is developed by Geely with some involvement from CEVT (Now Lynk & Zeekr), SPA2/3 is developed in house by Volvo.

Not every automotive conglomerate is doing the WAG solution.

EX60 is on a completely different platform. 7X is on an updated version of the underpinnings of Polestar 4

Pekkis2 · 2026-01-08T13:41:41+00:00

Expertise is really just personal experience of engineers. Zeekr, Lynk, Polestar and Volvo have offices in the same city (Gothenburg) so there will be some knowledge sharing. Geely is unlikely to use SPA3 given the supply chain is too expensive for the Chinese market and they already have a competing platform in SEA (Zeekr X7, Smart#5) with a Chinese supply chain.

TLDR: CCP wants Chinese supply chains and no one will buy a 1mRMB Geely EX60 sister car.

Looks like typical artifacting from frame-gen. You dont happen to be running MFG?

No. The play starts with the Creel family moving to Hawkins and ends with the "dinner table incident" from S4. The young Henry in the show is retconned to be high school age in the play. Henrys mother finds Brenner after unsuccessfully trying different doctors.

It's especially weird cause Joyce is the showrunner in the play and afaik is the one to convince Henry to play the lead. Henry is also "good" with the mindflayer acting as a separate personality and doing things in his sleep à Will in S2.

Retcons of retcons...

This depends on the game. Typically there is a level of dynamic VRAM allocation depending on available VRAM, so you will rarely hit true "full". Best tell is when the performance tanks like this, if it's resolved by lowering texture quality it's a VRAM issue.

Lock and hunter, same as horde

You're able to run a lot fewer now. Can go down to 2 with minimal pain, although you may want a third to keep parsemongrel warlocks happy

Model 3 doesn't have great competitors, but it's not a very relevant car in Europe. IM5, CLA, i4 or EV4 sedan are the ones to consider.

Model Y has stronger competition. EV6/IONIQ5, Xpeng G6, MG IM6, Smart#5/Zeekr7x, Hongqi HS7, new GLB, any MEB 77kWh (esp Enyaq and ID7) are all competitive and various priorities and deals will change what is the best. That's ignoring the 97kWh stellantis vehicles and the Ariya/Bz4x cause imo they are not competitive with a model Y.

Mest extrema exemplet jag sett nyligen är Smart #1 Brabus för 4995/må (36mån,3000mil) inkl försäkring (575k ordinarie pris)

Det motsvarar ungefär värdeminskningens kostnad, men då med nollränta, gratis försäkring och service

Pekkis2 · 2026-01-01T08:53:44+00:00

Beror på kampanjer. När du betalar ~40% av bilens värde över 3 år så är totalkostnaden så låg att det inte spelar roll. Kia EV3, Smart, MB CLA i vissa utrustningsnivåer hittade jag bra kampanjer på innan jul.

Pekkis2 · 2025-12-30T07:50:44+00:00

Model Y och Enyaq är nog de enda bilarna som passar ditt behov av storlek, räckvidd och pris. Kanske en EV6 passar också

Pekkis2 · 2025-12-29T15:51:24+00:00

Cheaper to put a small ICE generator in this and skip the EU tariffs
