It makes perfect sense, you explained clearly how it could happen.

The reasonable way of looking at it is, "What is the probability of that happening?" That's a scientific question.

From a technical point of view, you can also ask why would you ever make your compiler target LLVM bitcode. There are better options.

Will to be fair if it had been 3d printed out of Peak or a number of other engineering filaments then no it wouldn't. Believe it or not there are consumer printers that can print this high temperature filaments. Obviously be didn't use over of them. In less critical applications people have been 3d printing and air box parts for cars for years. And no they don't melt either. Engines usually run well below 270 C. But this is not an airplane obviously.

It depends on the truck. One of those mining trucks the size of a few houses? sure. My F150's 5.5 foot bed? no.

"Our idea is to treat intelligence as a new design material and imagine what becomes possible when it is abundant, capable, and human-centered"

Shoes made of pure, abundant intelligence. I imagine that becomes possible. Or bum paper made of abundant, capable, human-centered intelligence that tells humans what kind of foods they should avoid and what they should eat instead.

Someone should make a web application which allows users to submit reports of inappropriate behaviour from companies so we can avoid buying products from those companies which have demonstrated anti-customer behaviour. I mean, they're telling us they don't value us - the best thing we can do is listen and spread the word. Surely that's what they want.

A (proper) truck GPS will avoid roads that would be unsuitable for trucks, but would be fine for a regular car. This could inconvenience you at times.

I don't think this minor annoyance that applies only to certain Subaru owners warrants murder.

I don't think having long conversations with salesmen is actually a waste of THEIR time as much as your own. If you're in a dealership talking to a salesman, you've already lost.

Does BYD make a farm truck? I'd try that out. I wouldn't use a Tesla to pull boulders out of the ground or rip tree trunks out because they're not made for it. I don't have a bulldozer so the truck has to do all the hauling, pulling, towing, pushing etc.

IDK, The only trucks in the US that get 20-24 mpg avg are hybrids AFAIK. Base model/NA L4 or V6 trucks should be the best at mileage, but 13-14 mpg is probably the average for base model trucks without the added cost of hybrid drivetrain, turbos or Diesel engines.
Even if I drive exclusively at highway speeds, the 3 to 5 liter displacement engines are always between 13 and 20, but rarely 20 in real driving where traffic etc is involved. Maybe we're talking about different trucks here; I don't know what the small displacement 4-cylinder trucks make, like the Tacoma or Maverick. Maybe they're 20-24 in real life driving.

Millions actually. Vibe code it. The worst part would be training the model I think.

I was thinking a fart gas analyzer would be better for figuring out what's going on in your gut. Pictures of turds can probably be machine-learned on to tell a lot, but things like levels of H2S and other toxic gasses would be better. Maybe a combo of the two.

No, it is "end to end" encryption exactly as they claimed - one of those ends is their datacenter where the data is processed.

As per the description from the linked blog:

The "chosen recipient" is Kohler's datacenter, so it's behaving exactly as claimed. The application functions by processing the data on their servers, which is also why a monthly fee is charged to provide the service.

You could theoretically avoid this by transmitting the data directly between the camera and your device, and doing the processing on your device, although that might not be practical

There are many much worse examples where data is routed through hosted servers unnecessarily, typically as a kludge to get around NAT restrictions.
