This story really needs to be nuked from orbit. I hope that Canadian couple can afford to buy another (gas) Porsche now.
Anyway, the real headline there was "Insurance Company Writes Off EV For Battery Scratch", and the real story was that there are like a handful of cases like this in North America and the actuaries don't care and the companies just don't bother with them since the numbers are literally nothing compared to shelling out for a few thousand gas Civic crashes every day.
BTW: I recently got an insurance quote for replacing our $40K normal gas SUV with a $70K electric luxury version, and the increase in price was shockingly small, so yeah, insurapocalypse, still NOT A THING..

Indeed. It's hard to believe the submission didn't mention things like the invention of the solar cell. My father worked on a solar tracking guidance system there circa 1960.

I'm having a really hard time seeing where I did more than state the situation as it has been for a long time, and the only "free choice" implied was that the Feds can choose not to give out the funds. Nothing said about wishing for or being good with anything.

For most people.

Same old same old, they're not telling states what to do, but they don't have to give them federal highway money if they don't comply.

They had better move all those execs back from Chicago.

LOL, I can think of few Buicks that stand out in my mind that were actually bigger than today's larger and larger "compact" SUVs. The more popular ones (like the Century) of the past 40 years or so are possibly boat-y, but not big, by today's standards. Even a 90's Park Avenue barely makes it to today's mid-sized category.

One example: Bohemia Interactive used it in the earlier Arma games, but I've seen no sign of ogg in the newer Arma Reforger (future Arma 4 platform). But I'm not keeping up to well with it anymore.

Show me the science that says this might benefit ANY gamer. Maybe they just need some oxygen-free wire to hear their enemies approaching.

There are search features, lists by price, popularity/sales, etc. I've neither been annoyed by spam nor had trouble finding something. It's a platform to sell games, and it works. The garbage stays buried unless it gets popular, and promotion is accomplished elsewhere, on YouTube / social media / gaming "news" outlets.

I am an old fogey who remembers what the "end game" was before AI got redefined as whatever big tech is trying to sell at the moment. We're not there yet, and my comment is about one of the problems with LLMs.

Today's chatbot learns from programming sites, today's programmers get advice from chatbot, programming sites die off, tomorrow's programmers get what from where?

Haul the towers with heavy lift airships.

The problem the Times has here is that same as every other site on the Internet -- If someone can ask an AI chatbot for the information their site provides, then they don't need to go to the site, pay for access and/or view advertisements. So eventually, their site, and every other one requiring the support of paid staff dies out, and then the chatbots have nothing left to learn from, they die, and we start all over again.

I can't decide whether to invest in this or Bored Space Ape NFTs.
