C is another static language, so the IDE can give you a good autocomplete without relying on AI. Why haven't you switched to Rust? I hear it's better at everything.

Why do you think that?

Mainstream country music has been pop rock with twang and even dumber lyrics (not that pop is typically profound) for decades now. Bo Burnham's country song really says it a lot better than anything else I've seen yet.

The font is a deliberate decision whether it's a bot or not, on which I have no firm opinion. A variety of accounts (how many different people are involved is anyone's guess) have chosen to set their output in monospace over the years here. I think of them like hipsters. Monospace is inferior for the majority of tasks (except arguably for programming, and for a few data processing tasks where the data is naturally columnar when represented with fixed character width) so they're making a decision to make you read their thoughts in an inferior fashion. You could of course override fixed width text but my recollection is that Slashdot uses the classic HTML for this purpose and not something you could conveniently override without affecting other text that you might not want to make monospace. However, I haven't looked at the CSS recently so you might have options there.

I handle it by simply not reading anything they write. As a speed reader I unfortunately sometimes read parts of their comments by accident, but otherwise I choose not to consume any of it. They want to make it harder to read? Fine, in that case I'll pass.

Domestic buyers have to have money, so they have to have jobs, etc etc. They have official unemployment over 5% and among employable youth it's over 13%. Cars which sit degrade. This is more true for ICEVs but it's still true for EVs. And actually it's more true for EVs if they aren't kept charged, but I was assuming basic maintenance (washes, waxes, fluid changes, battery charging) being done in both cases to be generous.

I agree that those two things should happen at the same time. But I stand by the vast majority of AC comments being trolling or worse (e.g. uncreative trolling) and the "feature" being a huge detriment to the quality of Slashdot.

I don't know many people these days, so I'm the wrong guy to ask. However, it's super common for people with fiber to have 2.5GbE to the routermodem. I also live in a BFE county that's just now getting fiber to ONE city, so even if I knew a lot of people, I'd still be the wrong person to ask. But I'm also not representative in general, so again, wrong person to ask.

2.5 GbE is cheap and common, you can find it on $100 motherboards. Switches are very cheap, even managed ones. There's simply no good reason not to use 2.5 GbE.

How on earth can you "exhaustively" deidentify millions of chat logs that could contain literally any personal details, and presumably all without OpenAI's own employees also sifting through personal information in exactly the way they're claiming would be bad if others did it?

I have experienced this myself, but I have also experienced the reverse many times. There are also many games that won't run on Linux at all. Most of these have Windows kernel DRM, so I wouldn't buy them anyway myself, but I'm not the whole market.

You don't need to have a monopoly for antitrust laws to apply. Only you brought up monopolies.

And as counter-argument I'm supposed to trust an AC? HahaHAHHahaHahAHhaHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAH

Finally. My chance to be modded as pedantic...

Half the people have a below-MEDIAN intelligence.

(Sorry, all. Couldn't resist.)

If we were to get vehicles at near China's prices its hard to argue that demand for evs wouldn't improve.

Not necessarily.....most of the folks that want and EV, have one.....there just is NOT the demand for them here in the US that you have in other parts of the world.

A lot of this is due to the recharging infrastructure not being in place unless you live at the extreme west and maybe the east coast too.

I live in the New Orleans area....and from the maps and charging station finders I've seen we Still have precious few public charging stations anywhere in this area....

This is typical for most of the US.

With that comes range anxiety, and there's a TON of people, about 1/3 of the nation's populace that can't charge at home due to being in apartment complexes with large parking nots and no chargers or renting homes without chargers out side or no off street parking.

Unless you own your home and can charge at home, it's just a PITA to deal with and EV over here for a significant % of the populace.

I don't want one.....wouldn't work for me.

Never mind that their FSD is more capable than any current system on the market today.

What is "FSD"? New term to me....
