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.
Or maybe there needs to be way more EVs that are pickup trucks and SUVs that people can actually afford.
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.
Those guys can't even vet their own social media posts, and those are ~100 characters of ASCII text. The chances of them being able to meaningfully review a multi-gigabyte binary file are exactly zero.
... other, more obscure platforms are also supported, but if you want to run NetHack on them, you'll have to compile it yourself from source. Kind of a baller move if you ask me
Trump's actions are 100% Trump's actions. His had wasn't forced in the slightest
Trump's actions are 100% Trump's responsibility ("the buck stops here" is still part of the Presidential employment contract, even if Trump doesn't think so).
OTOH, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Netanyahu played hardball to "encourage" Trump to help. It's one of the downsides of having a "colorful" sex life in your youth and then gaining political power later on -- too many people have solid evidence of your transgressions, and now motivation to use them to influence your decision-making.
So when Netanyahu phones Trump up and says "join my war, or else I'll release these Epstein videos of you having group sex with underage girls", does Trump do the principled thing and refuse? Or does he take the coward's way out, and allow Israel to dictate US policy in exchange for temporarily saving his own political skin? I think we know the answer to that.
After the Cold War, I am convinced if we want no more girl schools blown to bits, every country should have nuclear weapons.
Is every country rational enough to never actually use them, and also technically and organizationally competent to keep them out of the hands of private groups (e.g. Al-Qaeda) who would steal them and use them for them own purposes?
If not, then the MAD doctrine won't work there. It's either principled leadership by the major powers, or nothing.
Well, now we need to have a 50-post discussion on whether "goblins" and "gremlins" are really the same thing, or if they are in fact two distinct species. All the D&D training I received in my youth can finally be brought to bear on a real-world problem!
The Git command line utility itself is also bloated nowadays.
Perhaps, but one of the nice properties of a command-line app is that the addition of features needn't slow down people who don't need those features.
E.g. git could add 300 more keywords, and as long as the basic "git clone", "git update", "git commit", and "git push" keep working, I won't be effected by that at all.
A GUI-based tool, OTOH, will find its user interface getting increasingly cluttered (and/or cryptic) proportional to the number of features that get shoehorned into it.
From a business perspective, if it does what the business needs, even if it's a nightmare for admins and users, they aren't going to spend any more money on something that is technically better.
You're right in that up-front costs often drove the decision-making, but what they didn't take into account is that software that is a nightmare to use means the admins get less done in a day, and the users keep requiring tech support, which means the company has to hire additional employees, so in exchange for a "cheap" one-time software purchase they are now saddled with expensive additional staffing costs, in perpetuity.
First-grader (raising hand): Why is Meta called "Meta"?
Zuckerberg: I don't want to talk about it
I've been hoping to see an in-browser AI that does realtime ad-blocking, privacy protection, and readability adjustments.
Extensions like uBlock are amazing and I have all the respect for the people who build it and maintain the definition lists, but it's always an arms race. Something capable of doing it dynamically and on-the-fly could be pretty powerful.
Is an LLM capable of this? Probably not reliably or quickly (especially a self-hosted one like what's shipped with Firefox today), but maybe it can iterate on it and come up with rules and definitions that are faster to evaluate for future requests.
This is the age of AI-driven scarcity.
On the plus side, once the AI bubble bursts and 75% of the AI companies go under, there's likely to be a lot of electrical capacity (and GPUs and RAM) suddenly available at fire-sale prices, at least for a while.
But they are not using those renewables to displace coal internally. They still prefer to use coal as fast as they can mine it or import it.
I don't think that's accurate -- the only people who "prefer to use coal" are in the Trump administration. China, like the rest of the rational world, prefers to use whatever energy source is cheapest and most effective, which might be coal in some situations, or it might be solar, or nuclear, or hydro, or something else.
But it isn't. It's easy enough to use stereo vision to measure the distance to an object and then determine whether or not it could get into the drop zone even if it started moving at top speed with no acceleration time. Also, if it was "worried" it wouldn't drop things from such a height.
She should have said "programmed" rather than anthropomorphizing it, but other than that, she's correct -- that is, in fact, how it is programmed to behave.
I cannot draw a cart, nor eat dried oats; If it be man's work I will do it.
