I'm glad Rivian won, even though I'm unlikely to spend that kind of money on a car.

I've bought multiple cars over the past several decades. Buying cars from a dealership SUCKS. The only halfway-decent buying experience I've ever had was with CarMax.

... then that project is really can't be described as open source anymore.

Screw the solar-panel-deploying robots... it sounds like what we really need are Dyson-sphere-building robots!

This doesn't seem like particularly new tech, just a tweak on what the automotive industry has been using for several dacades. I'd also be curious if that "twice as fast" calculation takes into account the time necessary for setting up the necessary rails etc. required for the Maximo robots to operate.

Sam Altman is a big Steve Miller fan.

Just reading that - "ChatGPT's Erotic Mode" - felt slimy and gross.

This is another 404 Media pay-for-placement post here on Slashdot. They're pretty much all low-quality hide-your-blogpost-behind-a-paywall drivel.

I think one of the problems Asahi runs into is that macOS can already be used for almost everything a Linux box can be used for - so it's harder to get excited about working on it.

My work-provided laptop is an M3 MacBook Air. I use it to admin ~ 100 Linux servers and workstations, and I can't say I've yet run into a situation where I said "darn it, that apparently doesn't work on a Mac". There are some command-line switches that are different between the two, but I think that mostly comes down to the difference between BSD vs. Mac. And I can (and do) install the Gnu tools.

The families of the dead servicemen and servicewomen are certainly crying, although if you asked them I don't know that they'd mention "winning" as a reason for it.

I tried to save money once by having a laptop delivered via UDP... let's just say it didn't end well.

I have heard Colbert talk about the LOTR universe before, and I swear he has even the hundreds of pages of those LOTR appendices memorized (if you've got the books, you know what I'm referring to). He really is a Tolkien super-fanboy.

Or, perhaps, the first release of Gnu Hurd.

I'm gonna assume they're aware that Mars has an atmosphere and the Moon doesn't...
