Oh, I don't know. An EV version of the Reliant Robin might be just what the world needs right now.

Bullshit weasel words. "Cleaner" does not mean "clean".

A shit sandwich, now with 50% less shit! is still a shit sandwich.

What is the saying- man with no health problems, short life. man with health problem, long life?

Most healthy-ish people aren't aware of the damage they do to their bodies until it is too late, whereas people with chronic conditions are more mindful of their health.

Especially for some careers, they aren't designed with health in mind and falls into to the same personal blame for any shortcomings instead of the system that lead them there.

The US has never been a completely anarchistic hellhole - we've always had laws (aka regulations). Gambling, for example, was very tightly regulated for hundreds of years and only recently has been opened wide (with all the expected problems).

If you're desperate for capital-F Freedom, I hear Somalia is pretty lawless. You can go set up a compound and fiefdom there.

Anecdotically, it seems harder to get jobs as fresh graduates now, at least in Computer Science.
Been teaching undergrad and grad students for about 15 years. seniors used to send 15 applications and get 3 interviews. Nowadays, they send hundreds and might not get a single call back.

If you look at the numbers you provided (thanks for that), the definition of recent graduates is "22 to 27 years old who hold college degrees". So maybe the first 3 month after graduation got much tougher, but within 5 years it evens out.

It is clearly not meant to address the fundamental issue. Remember that arXiv was never meant to be a peer reviewed repository. There are still tons of bad papers in there.
I am guessing it is meant to cut on the volume and avoiding polluting the system with too much crap.

Think of it as a spam filter. You don't need to filter all the spam. Just filtering the "this obviously is spam" already helps a lot.

Hah, good to know. I almost wrote "F350" because they're the most egregious "luxury commercial trucks", but 150s are so much more common I went with that instead. Luckily they have plenty of carrying capacity for all that regret.

Oh, I know. It's a very thin lining.

Pickups and SUVs are already subsidized out the ass by getting to skirt emissions and safety laws due to being "light truck commercial vehicles". This bullshit fantasy has persisted for decades even as they've become far and away the highest selling commuter and passenger vehicles in the US.

Maybe if people had to start paying the real price of these gas guzzling murder machines they'd be more interested in a reasonable EV or hybrid sedan or minivan. The only silver lining of Trump's demented Iran war is diesel hitting $6 per gallon and the sound of all those F150 tears.

I'm leery of professional practice as there has been numerous document cases of abuse by both practitioners and government. Can't say if that aspect has ended or is just more well hidden. I doubt the quest for a mind control drug has gone away.

That said, the benefits of psilocybin are well documented. I just don't trust the current regulatory environment.

I did some video where I had a script. So it was easy to extract subtitle and compare to script. Yeah, its pretty bad. Probably every other sentence had some obviously incorrect subtitling. And these videos were on clean audio inputs: no background noise, good mic.
I ended up having to correct the subtitles using the transcript.

I have seen a study recently on noisy audio in a group setting, so the speakers maybe not be perfectly mic-ed and all. The speech-to-text was done with a couple of Whisper models. The error rate was something like 30% of the transcription was bogus. (yeah, 3 words in 10.) I imagine that YT would do some preprocessing. But overall, I find the subtitles not terribly good. It's useful and better than nothing.

Ryan Grim has made the argument Trump has done more to advance a leftist agenda than the democrats (yes yes yes, Republican lite) in the past few decades.

Trump will be a complex historical figure in that his monumental failures have changed the stagnation that defined the start of the 21st century, maybe for the better.

Of course he will still try to take credit for it as some pan-dimensional chess he was doing all along.

Side mirrors almost always leave a large blind spot directly behind and close to the vehicle. There's a reason that when firefighters are reversing their appliances they always have at least one of the crew physically get out and watch the area behind the vehicle.

Even a rear window and rear view mirror almost always leave a significant blind spot low and close behind the vehicle, which is why reversing cameras became a thing. When they're done well, they really are significantly safer, as well as sometimes making it a lot more reliable for most people to park the vehicle in difficult spaces.

One of the modern innovations I really would like to have is full AR on my windscreen. I want unexpected hazards highlighted in real time, particularly those that are more easily detectable by non-visual sensors, like big potholes or animals obscured by vegetation near the side of a country road. I want the actual driving line I need to take to follow my planned route through complex junctions overlaid slightly on my view of the road ahead. I want light amplification for night driving, ideally combined with some other technology that can reduce the glare from oncoming headlights to prevent dazzle.

Although I only want all of this if (a) it's implemented well and (b) any additional data it uses is reliably up-to-date and (c) there's an emergency shut-off that instantly clears everything off the windscreen in case anything goes wrong.

Don't worry. You probably have funky modern door handles that don't work when the power goes out anyway. Not that the power in an EV is likely to go out if it's underwater or on fire or anything.
