It's actually a terrible idea.

As someone with an SCCA license used to driving racing cars that have much higher performance than nearly everything on the road (including your Tesla), I can tell you that no mass-market road car is hard to drive. The problem is never the car, it's the driver, or more accurately their lack of ability.

To properly solve a problem you need to attack the root cause, not one of it's symptoms.
If there are people out there that can't truly can't handle jthe acceleration of a car or type of car then they shouldn't have been legally allowed to drive it in the first place.

Rather than continually punishing all drivers for the sins of the clueless, how about including car handling (e.g. throttle awareness, skid recovery, etc) in the driving test, such that anyone that proves themselves incapable of being able to drive a fast car properly or safely isn't allowed to?
Perhaps cars need to be put in performance bands, and driving licenses only apply to certain bands depending on the driver's ability.

If they did in fact hit a balloon then it is the aircraft's fault as FAA air laws are that balloons have right of way over any powered aircraft.

Windows has supported USB in the loader since Vista. It was necessary for USB boot, which was first added - partially - in XP. Windows PE (which underlies RE) has supported USB peripherals from its inception. Just no PnP initially.

MTBF is useful information, but I think it would be more useful in conjunction with factors like active spinning time, total spin up/down counts, cumulative head seek time, total IO, etc. Presumably time-in-service affects the MTBF more than the age of the drive, but to what extent? Is a NIB drive that's two years old going to be as reliable as one that's only a month or two old? So many variables....

The internet is really the best medium for sarcasm.

Pretty sure this opens him up to a legal malpractice suit. Probably more lucrative than whatever the debt was.

I agree that they probably have the supersized egos that also make them mentally incapable of putting fault at their own feet, however all the billionaires building space ships are American meanwhile China are the leading cause of pollution (yes the US is second). It's hard to imagine how Musk and Bezos may be directly at fault for that.

I really don't get your second statement. You sound like those brainwashed woke that try to make everything about race.

I for one welcome our robot overlords.
Maybe we'll finally have dictators that prioritize survival of the entire planet over some short-term profit.

really why all the billionaires are building spaceships?

lasting ecological shifts will hinge on design and long-term care.

We don't really know that for sure. It may improve the odds, but neither desertification nor greening require human intervention, nor is human intervention necessarily going to achieve the desired outcome. Life, uh... finds a way. (Except when it doesn't.) But for all we know (and what seems most likely absent evidence to the contrary), this is just a temporary oasis of sorts that will last only as long as the structures on the site.

The article is sparse on details. I don't necessarily think driverless cars should be given a free pass -- in fact, we should probably have higher fines for the manufacturers -- but 9 times out of 10 when a road is blocked, it's because of construction or an accident, not a checkpoint. I suspect it was reacting to the obstruction, because when a road is obstructed, the "no U-Turn" rule generally doesn't apply (or isn't enforced anyway). In fact, if it hadn't been a checkpoint, I doubt they would have even been looking for illegal U-Turns, which are indicative of people trying to avoid the checkpoint, presumably.

As for fines, I do think they should be higher for self-driving cars, because $300 isn't even a slap on the wrist for Google. On the other hand, that could create a perverse incentive where officers are ignoring flagrant violations by human drivers in favor of issuing a $100k ticket to a Waymo that veered out of its lane to avoid a hazard. It could also create a situation where self-driving cars are so cautious that traffic is snarled by puritanical robot cars that won't even approach the speed limit because it's not worth the risk.

Actually you don't always get the same result (or at least the exact same response to the same question). I've tried this with LLMs running locally (using ollama), making sure to restart the engine from scratch every time, so there is some randomness going on.
According to ChatGPT, Ollama does make use of a random number generator for some reason.

So Apple store is actually no higher quality than Google Play store, so it turns out the whole "walled garden" thing is only for Apple's benefit and not their customers.
Another Apple marketing lie busted then.

Sorry for your loss. Dating apps are indeed garbage. If I were single, I'd be talking to every attractive person I saw at a grocery store, museum, out walking, etc. I'm an introvert and it makes me nervous AF, but I've also realized that pretty much anyone who agrees to meet for a drink is already interested, so that makes it easier. I mean I hate doing job interviews too, but it's just part of the process, not the end of the world.
