It's the original founder at least, Kevin Rose. I had a look at the relaunched I-can't-believe-it's-not-Reddit version and it was...ok'ish. But yes, they were unprepared for the bots in the main forums and unfortunately the place never got big enough to have any traffic in the smaller ones.

It's ironic - I looked at Reddit before The Great Migration following Dig...err...3? whatever the fiasco revision was. Like many others, I moved when that version of Digg appeared. I was interested when Digg said they were coming back, because Reddit has become a bit tiresome other than the smaller, subject-specialised subs. Alas though, never took off.

Umm, yes fast charging and compatibility with various fast charging networks including Tesla's network is absolutely a factor in the the buying decision! Why wouldn't it?

At first I thought this was really dumb. Besides, how can you patent something that's non-existent. But then I figured it can be useful to recreate familiar controls and how they feel. Makes it easier, especially in competition, to back and forth between different types with no loss of skill and reflex. I mean these are recreational machines. Let them have fun regardless.

There is precedence for simulating the action and feel of controls. Happens in aircraft all the time to help ease the burdens of type rating. And I realized that all my newer tractors on the farm no longer have a clutch in the same sense as the old dry clutch days, yet they still have a pedal that simulates it electronically. Technically they call it an inching pedal.

Sigh. So can I apparently.

Come one editors. You can do better than that.

... not GenZ and GenA

From my experience with my Gen A daughter, they are VERY well versed on distinguishing AI from non-AI.

It is the older cohorts who are being deceived.

Or the administration could ask congress to pass a law to this effect. Like we used to do back during normal Republic times. Could have done that with the tariffs and then they'd have been legal.

I guess it's been a good run. The republic almost lasted 250 years.

It is quite fascinating that republicans like to claim the idea of being based in part on ideas from the Roman Republic, however they openly admire the later imperial age much more and it's leaders.

In fact farmers in North Dakota have been complaining about cloud seeding by insurance companies for years. These companies seed clouds that could harbor hail so that it rains out before it can drop hail. Mostly this is to protect urban areas. But the problem is it literally takes the rain away from farms the really need it.

Over the years there have been many lists published of lyrics people thought they heard but were completely nonsensical. To some apparently Abba sings, "feel the beat of the tangerine."

So I'm not surprised youtube can't understand song lyrics. Regular speaking, it's fairly good. And not too bad at translating the subtitles.

I agree 10000% with what you are saying

But again, my company is not a charity

I can't afford to hire junior developers and train them for funsies. That's what you are suggesting.

What does that mean 5-10 years down the road? We are all fucked. But again, I can't solve that for society. That is SUPPOSED to be the job of government, but they are all sitting on their hands eve though the industry has been screaming at them for 3 years now to start plannibg and do something

Just because big data, neural nets, and pattern recognition has been around for decades doesn't mean this stuff is not still in its infancy. In fact it very much is. The transformer architecture described by Google in 2017 was very much a breakthrough that turned decades-old stagnant ideas into something incredibly useful. We're not even 10 years on from that! Just a baby still. And only in the last few years has massively parallel computing power (GPUs etc) gotten to the point of allowing transformers to work on matrices of unbelievable sizes, which really exploded the field.

Meanwhile I use Claude Code and am quite amazed how good it actually is at the tasks I've asked it to help me do. I have no idea whether this is good or bad for us.

This braindead article is very out of touch with what is happening on the ground. Go and actually talk to developers, or look at Department of Labor statistics.

"AI is just making developers more efficient" - Yes, which means, we need less of them.

Speaking as the position of someone in charge of an engineering team - I don't plan on ever hiring another junior engineer, ever again. I only have jobs for senior engineers now. What does this mean for the industry? It is going to be dire - however my company is not a charity, I need to make decisions based on what is best for the company - and right now, that means hiring hardly anyone and those that I do hire are only seniors.

Oh wow. So are you lined up to be a long haul driver then? Surely you are manly enough. We have a huge shortage of drivers right now. Maybe you should talk to a trucker a little bit. The job they do is important and they are proud of what they do. But they are treated horribly.

Yes of course we're talking about BEV trucks. What does that have to do with reefer trailers?

What are you talking about? All the major manufacturers are currently selling electric trucks of that size and range in Europe. There's a guy documenting daily long haul driving in Europe with electric trucks. Google for electric trucker or elektrotrucker.

And to head off the inevitable comments, yes European trucks are as big or bigger than American ones. And yes the distances driven are just as long as American routes. Infrastructure for changing is much better than in the US of course, and improving.
