Except they keep blowing past school busses with the stop sign out and arranging caravans in residential neighborhoods.

Mechahitler? Oh that's small fry. SpaceX bought xAI just after xAI bought X for a 2x inflated price conveniently valuing the entire transaction just about the $44bn Musk paid for Twitter when the debtors came and wanted their money.

But if you do that Musk may have to actually pay back his $44bn loan to buy Twitter. I wonder how many people know that SpaceX, bought xAI, and xAI bought X which was valued at the time for $20bn but somehow managed to be worth $45bn to cover Musk's dumb decision.

If SpaceX was just part of the MIC then I'd be 100% with you. But it is largely not. It's at the whim of a psychotic tweeter whose has a history of opening his mouth causing his company's share prices to widely fluctuate.

It's the opposite of a stable sure bet on the MIC. Especially while Musk does underhanded deals to use SpaceX to bail out his bad business decisions (guess who the number one customer of the woefully underselling Cybertruck is, yep, SpaceX, because Cybertrucks make the perfect corporate vehicle if your core requirement is to try and stop one of your other businesses' stocks from crashing).

And to your point about AI, SpaceX isn't betting on AI, SpaceX was used to bail out Musk's X purchase, after having made X a subsidiary of xAI and then having SpaceX purchase xAI.

Waymos have 39 full colour cameras on board. No one was poking fun for Tesla using cameras instead of LIDAR, they were poking fun for not using LIDAR with cameras. Waymo can literally do more as it can see more and collect more data.

You equating the software not being trained to react to data with some ignorant comment about hardware choices made by a competition whose vehicles have a 1000x times worse safety record, is very much the opposite of clever.

Please take your tongue out of Musk's ass, you don't know where that's been.

No, Amsterdam isn't like that *in all places*. Most of the city is actually quite free from traffic due to policies that keep traffic out of the city. That said when you're on major car arterials or highways during peak hour it absolutely sucks, which is incidentally precisely why so many people take public transport.

Back in the 1970s most of Amsterdam was one giant grid locked parkinglot. The invested in something other than cars.

It's the polar opposite approach to "Let's just add another lane to the Katy freeway"

You're assuming that healthy vs unhealthy is being functional and dropping dead at 90 vs 60. The reality is it's more of a case of prolonged ill health effects vs none.

You should choose a healthy life because it promotes your ability to actually do things in life. Too many fat fuckers unable to walk up the stairs without taking a break, smokers that spend years in hospitals tethered to an oxygen bottle. Damage your liver and kidneys can be a real downer on any activity you choose to do in life, not exercising resulting in muscle degradation will increase the chance you spend a significant portion of your life pushing around a walking frame.

Life itself should be a laudable goal, not necessarily the longest life, but the life most worth living. *no I'm not going to cut alcohol or red meat, but equally I'm not going to get shitface wasted in the pub every day, I will continue to go to the gym and go for a jog, not senselessly sunburn myself, or eat a diet of soda, etc.

You just lost me when you equated a fantasy generated at a time where hygiene didn't exist to the science of health impacts of modern food consumption.

I'll choose Christianity if I'm forced to pick a religion. That way I can still enjoy bacon and eggs for breakfast. Shame about wanking though I think that God really did think we were going blind.

As a matter of interest what does uBlock Origin bring to the table over uBlock Lite? I know *in theory* what the difference is, but in practice people largely are interested in ad-blocking, and I've seen no change in adblocking performance due to the loss of manifest v2. Do you have specific examples of things that are functionally different on the internet due to the use of manifest v2 related adblocking?

That is false. Vivaldi does not support any manifest v2 initiative beyond what was provided in Chromium and explicitly said as much early last year. As of right now there's no manifest v2 support, uBlock Origin is not supported, and since Vivaldi uses Chrome's own store, it isn't even listed in search results.

If you have uBlock Origin installed right now, you're running an outdated version.

Yes that is a very real risk, shipping firefighting systems haven't been sufficient to address lithium fires. However the biggest issue here is total insurable risk rather than just the fire itself. Fires aren't that big of a problem in the grand scheme of shipping. There have been about 3 ships sunk due to EV fires (one of which from a home made EV), and one totally destroyed but was able to be towed to the destination in the past decade. In the industry there's something in the order of 30 fully laden transport ships sink every year. The difference is if your ship is filled with containers of cloths and shit from China it's a very different loss calculation compared to losing $450million shipment of 8000 EVs.

But it's all about risk an equipment. Pretty universally nowadays EVs are shipped with around 25% state of charge and new and retrofitted bulk carriers are designed to minimise the impact from EV fires. The risk is still very real, but ultimately a couple of companies refusing to carry EVs is more due to their equipment, policies and lack of investment in shipping rather than EVs themselves. The shipping industry itself is highly specialised with ship designs closing matching the products being transported. EVs just happen to be "new" at this and part of the industry hasn't caught up yet.

Also Roll On Roll Off vessels are in short supply meaning shippers can turn down customers without losing business. It's actually one of the reasons BYD started its own shipping company. Even before the first major EV shipping loss they were struggling to find shippers while competing with other car companies. The rise of "made in China" in the car industry happened faster than ships could keep up.

Of course they do. That's kind of how bubbles start popping, when deals fall apart. By the way what is a "deal"? The OpenAI Stargate project wasn't "a deal", it was a landmark project for the industry, a $500bn datacentre which would have consumed 40% SK Hynix's manufacturing capacity.

And yet a single project from one company just knocked 20% off that figure. That's how bubbles work, when suddenly a double digit percentage of an industry changes on a whim you know you're in a period of instability.

You not having a clue doesn't make other people retarded, ... actually it's a bit of the opposite.

What is life without beer, steak, and side of potato wedges.

Tell you what, I'll tell my boss I'm going to sleep-in every day for health reasons. I'll give you that one.

It's probably the natural cycle of things. But by a similar logic we can ask why haven't we faced a civilization collapse yet.

Maybe, but the problem is that the electronics have to run at those temperatures and not have solder joints start popping, or other fun failures.
