It's the New York Post, temperature would be a chilly 45F for their American audience

Yeah I'll admit I had to read that sentence a couple times before it got through to me that "barred" meant she was admitted to the bar.
Also TIL elide = to strike out, abridge https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/elide
I was gonna say this is a sad day, but that's just nostalgia for a time that's passed. I grew up reading and loving Popular Science, my dad always has a subscription and I would read it cover to cover usually the day it came in the mail. I let my own print subscription lapse years ago, tried a few different versions of digital magazines (anyone remember zinio?), but today it's just websites like arstechnica and the verge that have become the focus.
I still value the articles I come across online but the print edition is just a warm memory at this point to me so I can't expect them to keep a business going on that.
It may be a different technical skill than any of the hundreds of other ways to make art, but it still takes a human to conceive of a concept and skill to write a prompt that will generate the intended nuances and ideas.
Just because I can take a photo with one click on my phone doesn't make it art any more than if I try withs a professional camera in manual mode. The art is in using the tools to create something new and beautiful in any medium.
Observing and learning from the natural world is in no way dumb, it is extreme hubris to think we humans are so smart that we don't have to listen to nature. Or that society gets to be somehow outside of nature. It is that kind of logic that got us global warming, obesity & diabetes epidemic, big pharma, and loss of traditional knowledge and wisdom. If I see a momma holding her cub by the nape of the neck my first thought isn't going to be that I know better how to care for her young.
Idle losses are real but not very substantial in a modern engine compared to the bigger factor you're missing which is that in city driving tests there is a lot of speeding up and slowing down, ICE vehicles throw away all the energy used to slow down as heat in the brakes which makes city cycles particularly inefficient while an EV captures that energy through regenerative braking, dramatically reducing the net cost of those momentum changes.
