Which means the system isn't working. Surplus credits should come from improved efficiencies, not excessive allotment.
Total number of credit goes down over time. That mechanism ensures an adapt, die or emigrate pressure for large polluters, and a financial stimulus for small-polluters.
Net profits $2.3B. "Poor financial results". How does one reconcile these two things?
That's 2.3B USD on a 1.29T USD valuation, or 0.17%.
Valuations should be reflective of expected future profits. Multiples of ×20 yearly profit are possible for risky (tech or biotech usually) companies, with large potential profit. But the ratio is ridiculously off the charts for tesla. If it does not improve, it will have turned out to have been a very wastefull use of capital.
What are some cool projects I need to know about?

Yes, the same stuff is mirrored in the EU. We also had george floyd protests.
Leads me to believe it's all more a cultural phenomena. Imitation of the popular rethoric.
Are there any tips or suggestions for anything I might be missing?
I know that roses, for example, don't do well at my place because the soil is too clay heavy, and drains badly. So soil compatibility is something you might like to check :)
Most commercial models have that, sadly. At training time they're presented with both positive and negative responses to prompts.
If you have access to the trained model weights and biases, it's possible to undo through a method called abliteration (1)
The silver lining is that a it makes explicit what different societies want to censor.
Tldr: Pro: easy to use, versatile, low capex. Contra: high opex, hard to light in cold, fuel storage
As winter came faster than I wanted, and my cabin build always goes slower than I want, I've had to improvise on heating. So I've been burning alcohol as my main fuel source in my small cabin the last few months.
The burners are circa 10cm diameter ceramic spunges in stainless steel tins, as pictured. I made a variety of lids to the tins, with holes in them. The size and quantity of the holes affect heat output and duration of burning.
The setup cost me around 35EUR.
For high heat output, such as for cooking, I use lids with large holes. In the evening, I use multiple burners with small holes, so that they burn for longer.
Overall it works well. They're very easy to refill, and light. Unless it's really cold (<5C), then I put them, closed, in my pocket for 10 minutes to pre heat them.
As my cabin is small (2.5m by 3m), and well insulated, it heats the inside temperature up from 5C to 18C within an hour. When outside temperatures dropped to -5C, I burned 2l a day, which costs me 4 EUR a day.
The fuel doesn't store very long (1 year max I've read), and should not be subjected to below freezing temperatures. I store it mainly underground both for the constant temperature, and for fire safety.
Overall, I'm happy with the solution. Come next winter I do hope I'll have a wood burning stove installed, as I've lots of wood available. But I'll keep the alcohol stoves around, for cooking and backup.
It's an 80l trash can.
The inverted lid has small holes drilled in them and act as the rain collector.
Two more pairs of holes, at the edge of the lid and into the container, together with some string keep the lid from blowing away.
This report shows that they do just that: without the emissions credit system they would operate at a loss. In other words: they sell cars for cheaper than the cost of manufacturing. Coincidentally the same thing the US and EU claims China is doing, as motivation for mercantillist tarrifs.
