If you want to know these things have you looked for the answer?

It's Toyota. They are known. They employ over 63,000 Americans already. They are good jobs. This announcement marks the start of producing batteries - not some hazy "agreement" about the future if this and if that and if the other. It's a done deal and it's a good thing.

Sounds easy, but Musk has been there, Jobs has been there, Gates has been there...

I simply refuse to use an OS that leans so hard on trying to modify my behavior. It would be like living in a house that constantly tried to control what toilet paper I used or if my fridge started "awarding" me "points" based on what I eat.

Fuck every last bit of that.

There would be a larger cost savings to replace the $1 bill with a coin. The government has tried multiple times to do that but it did not take.

This lines up with school disruptions.

I'm sure that's not the only contributing factor, but I'm also pretty sure you don't upend kids' lives (don't forget the impact on parents - lots of people lost jobs, which also disrupts kids schooling) across multiple years without disrupting their math training.

Oh, also, the shitbag trolls here are funny. Now that they can't pretend the white kids aren't pig-ignorant, this is suddenly all about testing.

Not sure because these chips cost so much to operate in energy costs. If enough efficiency gains are made it would be cheaper to buy and run new ones than to run old ones to do the same tasks. When data center companies start building their own nuclear power plants you know there is a LOT of money to be saved by increasing efficiency.

This is a very specific form of writing. It is kind of, but not quite journalism, not quite fictionalization, and not just an attempt to influence other market participants.

The author is trying to tell the story within the form - A Titan of Finance is making a Bold Bet with big implications for the little peoples' 401Ks!

Various folks with input to the story all have their own angle and want to steer it to their advantage. Everyone outside the story who is paying attention can see the bubble, but have the same problem Burry has - the old cliche about the market staying irrational longer than you can stay solvent still applies.

So little investors have skin in the game but very little range of motion other than getting out of the market. Big players are betting against bubble blowers, which means they need their story to "win" on a timeline that doesn't lose them a ton of money. Meanwhile OAI, NVidia and similar grifters are sucking Tubby's stump in hopes of a bailout.

It is all high drama, with lots of players trying to influence the story. Think of it as multiparty participatory propaganda trying to steer things, with the eventual outcome determining how many Grandmas have to switch to dog food for dinner.

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....

There are errors in some of the lyrics on these sites that are replicated everywhere. That is, you cannot find the lyrics without the errors. Anywhere....except if you have a booklet that came with the CD, I guess..

Just one example that I encountered recently. In the soundtrack of the film "Arizona dream", there is a number titled "TV screen". A line in the lyrics says "You are the target for the stars and the products on the TV screen". I hear it very clearly....Every lyrics site I checked had "planets" instead of "products".

See here for example

Can some good soul (native English speaker) listen to the song and tell me did I mishear? The whole world says "planets" but I insists the word is products. Also, products is much more in line with the the lyrics. The stars that sells us products on the TV screen.....planets just does not fit IMO.

By the same token, I was reading for years how China's construction market was the biggest bubble in history and was going to pop so hard the nation would be an economic black hole. Is that still going to happen or what?

That, or your project gets sidelined. Which is where the danger lies.

I work for a big multinational software company that uses a lot of Open Source Software. We have a security office that audits all of our products several times a year. If any piece of our stack shows any open CVEs we have a fixed amount of time to fix the issue, with the amount of time varying from a few days (for CRITICAL severity issues) to roughly half a year for the lowest severity issues. A lack of a fix for a published CVE isn’t an excuse for not fixing the issue on our end — the software still has a security flaw in it, and the organization is so incredible security averse (thanks in part to having contacts in the defence industry) that they don’t want to risk expensive lawsuits and the loss of reputation if a vulnerability is exploited.

A lot of bigger organizations now work this way. We’ve all seen what has happened to organizations that have had significantly security breaches, and it’s not pretty. Our customers are big corporations and government entities — and if they even sniff a risk there are going to be problems. So if there is an unpatched exploit, we’re expected to either switch to something comparable, or DIY a solution (either replacing the library in question, or potentially patching it ourselves).

If ffmpeg allows known and published vulnerabilities to languish, the risk here is that organizations that use their code will simply stop using it and will look for other solutions. That’s a tough pill for an Open Source Software developer to swallow, especially when they make it as big and important as ffmpeg. You might wind up in a situation where an entity like Google forks your code and takes ownership, and eventually gets everyone to migrate to using their version instead (like what they did with WebKit to Chrome), leaving you sidelines. Or maybe someone else jumps in with a compatible solution that works well enough for enough users that they switch to that instead.

Now in an ideal world, the Google’s of this world would not only submit a CVE but would also submit a patch. Having been an OSS developer myself I’ve always encouraged my staff if they find a bug in a piece of software we use to file a bug report and ideally a patch if they know how to patch the issue correctly — but I know that is hardly universal within our organization, and probably even less so elsewhere.

TL;DR: a lot of OSS success relies on having lots of users, or at least some big and important users. But you risk losing those if you leave CVE’s open for too long, as company policies may require scrapping software with unfixed CVEs. That loss of users and reputation is dangerous for an OSS project — it’s how projects get supplanted, either by a fork or by a new (and similar) project.

That's just fair use, right? Then the robots puke video back out on demand, fantasy sportball people can make their teams win, or folks can have their team fuck or steal from target or whatever people do with LLMs when they aren't building scams and throwaway code. And nobody will have to care about Google or Disney's goofy little money war.

There, I fixed it.

I'm not moving to a communist country.

The idea of living in a totalitarian shit-hole infested by a national surveillance network, people being taken in the middle of the night by masked and unidentified government agents, having protestors shot in the streets and generally living under the thumb of a dark and malevolent ruling class did make communism seem real bad.

Now it sounds like Trump's America.

1) Ummm what? You know they make these things called ”stands" these days? Some of them are built into cases. 2) You do know the point of "podcasts" is to listen to them and not watch them, right?

The problem seems to be you do not understand how technology works. So let me explain how I use my iPad. Before washing the dishes, I put on a podcast and play it on the speakers. My hands are free to do dishes. If I am watching something, I flip the case so the iPad is standing at angle, and I position it where I can see it. I occasionally look at the screen while I do dishes. Hopefully you learned how people use technology.
