Older teslas HAD lidar. They were removed on newer models to cut costs.

The price of lidar sensors has dropped by like 50 times since musk decided to cut costs by eliminating theny from their cars.

Yeah but that's milliseconds. Ergo, the crash was already going to happen.

In any case, the problem with Tesla autopilot is that it doesn't have radar. It can't see objects and there have been many instances where a Tesla crashed into a large visible object.

And they called us data hoarders!

After September 11th and the COVID lockdowns, scientists noted an increase in global surface temperature due to the absence of contrails. So yes, this is actually something we are already doing!

Sulfur dioxide however is an even more effective reflector of sunlight compared to water vapor. And don't forget, water vapor is itself a very greenhouse agent that contributes toward planetary heating.

Supposedly the new stringent heavy shipping emissions controls are having an impact on the greenhouse effect. Reduction of sulfur dioxide which had a reverse greenhouse effect is warming the oceans up more.

"Carbon Brief analysis shows that the likely side-effect of the 2020 regulations to cut air pollution from shipping is to increase global temperatures by around 0.05C by 2050. This is equivalent to approximately two additional years of emissions."

So this may be our first example of the threats of NOT enacting terraforming for climate change will have.

Reminds me of early days of Linux.

You should ditch windows and switch to Linux! It has everything!

What I can I do on it?

You can compile your own kernel!
