Because smart quotes are fucking stupid always, not just when used on slashdot.
Used to be anyone posting on slashdot had been around long enough to turn smart quotes off for all the OTHER problems it causes, but long gone are the times when slashdot was "news for nerds"
Replacement electronics aren't really that hard to find. Even modern recent cars have aftermarket parts that can be used.
You don't see any 10 year old cars rebuilt because they are barely out of warranty and are still running fine. The technology is vastly superior in that respect to what it was in the decades you mention.
Between my wife and I we've owned 4 cars from new to at least 20 years old, and a fifth that we sold around 15 years old cause newborn babies and 2 seat convertibles don't really mix, but beyond the water pump it was all original.
You're argument that your new car can't be serviced is bunk, you haven't needed to and if you did, the dealer probably paid for it.
Replaced the ECU in a 1996 Jeep just a few years ago. No there aren't any third party replacement infotainment computers for tesla yet
I have historical held the belief that Palestinians were the ones irritating Isreal and Palestien is lucky Isreal hasn't wiped them off the planet. They have the military to easily do it until the rest of the middle east jumps in if the US doesn't.
HOWEVER, my wife and her family are Jews and my sister-in-law has always followed and supported Isreal
There is pretty strong evidence that the Gaza attack was not just allowed, but even engineered by Isreal in order to set the stage to wipe the Palestinians off the face of the Earth using the attacks and kidnapping as an excuse. Given Isreals history and past tactics, that seems to entirely fit their MO, counter intelligence... they happen to have some skills there
If true - that doesn't justify Palestinians attacking Isreal civilians, kidnapping and killing them
But it's not possible at this point to sit back and only blame Palestinians.
The entire region has been fighting itself like rabied dogs for THOUSANDS OF YEARS. No one involved is innocent and even if we all shook hands right now, they'll be multiple generations of hatred that will have to leech away before any peace can happen.
You are entirely disingenuous by acting like Isreal is innocent and the good guy here who has been wronged. That's bullshit. They are all indoctrinated with hatred towards their neighbors starting at birth.
As long as you keep making it us against them when you all live right next to each other, you will continue to live in a war torn sithole while the rest of the world moves on and feels sorry for you.
I don't hate Jews because I don't want Palestinians killed any more than you could say I hate Palestinians because I don't want Jews killed.
It's your shitty prejudice attitude that causes this shit to continue.
YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.
What the fuck is wrong with your mind that makes it so not wanting some to die makes them hate others? That's some of the most ignorant fucking logic I've heard in a while.
Why is your only solution to kill people? Again, you are EXACTLY what the problem is. Indoctrinated prejudice that drives you to fight something you don't even understand.
It's not unique to Isreal, it's the entire region. You probably just happen to be Jewish and blinded by history.
So the only time language is important and needs to be understood is when it's in a legal context
And all other usages of speech, the DICTIONARY DEFINITION of the word, and how it's used in the real world
You've made a lot of posts on this article calling people idiots, but you're really the only one here that doesn't grasp the language and communicates like an ignorant idiot.
Imma bet $10 you don't actually understand what idiot means either.
I'd guess you're what 15-16 years old, flunked most of your English classes and are now here to tell us how everyone else is doing it wrong.
Come back after puberty is over and you aren't acting like an idiot yourself
Youre looking at it with the wrong perspective. He didn't introduce the breaking change in the RC, it was already there, he realized it during the RC.
He added a method to detect previous injected broken code before release. Which is one of the things your RC is for - to find broken stuff.
Training AI to catch someone whipping it out is easy. There are entire data centers devoted to well curated/classifieds and properly tagged porn.
I'd bet you'd find it is some of the highest quality training data out there if you want classifications of nudes or sexual images.
No one want to sit can tag various forms of busses or bicycles in their captcha
That's the 'girlfriend experience' right?
Really what's happening here is Adobe is building AI to replace OnlyFans models.
OMG you should definitely patent/trademark/copyleft that or whatever, the upfront investment will yield billions in return if they can have the AI chat and show video to the customer based on AI generated content. The weird extra/missing finger thing will even be a surcharge feature for the fetish crowd.
You sir are ahead of your time.
Not Elon Musk
Good enough?
Only the attention grabbing media wanting ratings thinks that's a mass shooting. We'll, and I guess scared people like you.
It's just done to keep people's attention - everything starts as 'possible terrorist attack' or 'racially motivated hate crime'
Sensationalizing in the media isn't really that hard for most of us to recognize.
No. The atmosphere 'bounce' would have
A) Cost more momentum due to the natural aerobraking that would happen than it would gain
B) cause more heat than re-entry, where they are trying to slow down already, not hit it harder. They effectively would have ended the exact same way.
They were doomed before the vehicle cleared the tower and there was nothing but an early abort during launch that likely wouldnt have gone well either
Who says that about Canada? Most people forget it's not just another state.
I don't think Americans think nearly as much about Canada as you think
If you are using a public VPN service for 'security'
How many public VPN services do you think weren't started by security agencies with three letter acronyms? I'd bet it some where less than one.
Sure, maybe you trick netflix for a week, but that's about it
Pink unicorns could be proven fairly easily given enough time.
The same is not true if we are in a simulation that intentionally prevents us from knowing we are in a simulation
Constantly velocity transmission are ALWAYS in the most efficient gear. That's the only reason they ever make sense. CV transmission suck in almost every way compared to other designs.
They can however save so much in fuel that the ridiculous design and cost and problems make them still viable.
The human driver is not going to shift better than it can, it has practically unlimited gears to select from and it knows EXACTLY what the engine is doing and what the burn rate is, etc etc. The human driving simple doesn't have the information required for that level of efficiency - maybe after you jack your brain directly into the control electronics in the car.
A standard manual transmission is never running at the correct gear ratio - hopefully its in one that's closest for the task at hand, but that's the absolute best a human could possibly due - but that's unlikely because you lack the information about real time engine performance and load.
Humans aren't really that good at this sort of thing, there's just a bunch of testosterone that prevents you from admitting it.
Can a manual be more efficient than an automatic- absolutely, you can build cheap automatics that won't be as efficient as a well driven manual, but with modern tech, you'd have to pick an old design for the auto and be bad at building it before the divers is going to be big enough to matter.
Let it go. It's not 1967 anymore, environmental protection laws have required manufacturing to not produce utter shit anymore, and I do not if you heard, but they also stopped making leaded gas in the US.
You are no longer faster and more efficient than your cars electronics, you haven't been for any car built and sold in the US in the last 20 years, you're just stuck on your ego. Ok, I'm sure you can find some POS bottom of the barrel car somewhere. But the Toyota Camery has probably been better than you in every way for 20 years and it's not special at all. Something like a modern Suburu Outback with a CVT
Most high end sports cars have automatics with two clutchs. The car is always in one gear, and has the next expected gear engaged but with the clutch disengaged. When it's time to switch, it just swaps the clutches.
Not even in your wildest dreams can you switch gears faster than those transmission and certainly not as consistently.
Drag cars tend to blow themselves apart in a couple runs. I suspect building a double clutch tranny that you have to replace every couple of runs is cost prohibitive - or against the rules in pretty much every class other than unlimited top fuel dragster.
Formula 1 and Indy car transmissions are automatics with manual gear selection. They work somewhat like I just described. I'd bet a months pay neither you or anyone you've every known could shift any manual faster than the F1/Indy car shift itself.
I prefer a manual, but pretending I'm faster than high performance fully electronicly controlled dual clutch systems is stupid. You aren't, period.
