I’m not a huge fan of it, but I do find it more convenient than BlueTooth alone. For context, I drive a ‘91 GMC pickup, so neither cars nor car audio are super important to me. I still bought a CarPlay-enabled Android head unit because it

It’s what approximately half of US voters think.

Because of a problem that all those rules and policies don’t solve, while introducing new ones and creating an entire bureaucracy dependent upon keeping them in place regardless of their efficacy?

The closest thing to it was repo companies sharing data. This is very much a new thing.

The city's scope is smaller than Flock's - it's a city, not a multi-national corporation. Yes, I'm aware of what "expectation of privacy" means. I've been a photographer for ~25 years. > People seem t

My point wasn't that Flock allows this, but that it allows an entire class of surveillance that was previously not available.

If I'm a terrorist, I've not been a very good one to this point.

Well, in my precinct I'd estimate there are ~20 people at the polls to vote at any given time. Given the timestamp of a ballot, there are maybe 50 people it could have possibly been. That's more than enough information to correlat

While I would oppose a city setting up CCTV to be used the way Flock is used - that would be orders of magnitude less bad than Flock. As it is, you can assume that at the very least, every time your vehicle has passed one of the >100k

More like his widow than his ex - he was unable to ever contact her, which is what made it cute rather than creepy.

While I wouldn't argue that academia is "crazy, stupid, closed-minded, and ignorant", I would absolutely argue that they are ideologically homogenous. The whole community is rife with political signaling and affinity groups.

A big part of that is the regulatory environment. For example - I have the interest and means to get my PPL. I'd love to do so, but the FAA considers ADHD to be a disqualifying medical condition.

> It's been years of development and you still can't trust it to get basic facts correct There's the rub: AI is not an oracle. It's neither designed nor intended to provide accurate recall of all facts. It's clos

This is the direction I'm going. For personal projects that I don't plan to share widely, I'm making it a point to not look at the code at all. So far - and to my surprise - I've not only found that this has result in no

Your experiences must be much different from mine. Three years ago, AI was barely able to provide sort-of reliable command completion. Two years ago, it could extrapolate a single function from a docstring - but the docstring had to be so

Yeah, I agree - I get what the author is saying, but I also don't expect "translator" to be a practical career path in the future. Even small, dumb, local models are excellent at translation already. Frontier models are on pa

I'm not asking you to emigrate. While my own views are likely closer to Musk's than I suspect yours are, I share those concerns. I don't think I'd be interested in moving there, at least not in the initial waves. My opti

Terrain is the best available protection on Mars from radiation, and is it's far easier to pressurize a structure excavated from bedrock than it is to pressurize a dome or similar. Hyperloop and the Vegas Loop are projects used to just

It's common in many religious communities to not write the name of God out. I think it likely comes from the Jewish tradition.

What would cause an increase in the number of open lower paid and/or service industry jobs while simultaneously reducing the number of openings in tech?

Every single one of those examples is both valid and - I believe, at least - misunderstood. Musk has a singular goal as far as I can tell: to make humanity a multi-planetary species. All of those things are testing the boundaries of what&#x

Rather than going into detail, getting myself on yet another watchlist, and possibly inspiring someone to do something both criminal and counter-productive, I'll just quote Patton: Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupi

That's one of my favorite verses, specifically because it leaves determining what is in fact Caesar's as an exercise for the reader.

"Most people", meaning "most people in your social circles" presumably - because that's certainly not the case where I am, and I'd like to see some polling data before considering that it's the case global

It's putting the responsibility on the party most capable and interested in evaluating the packages for security.

I didn’t take it that way at all - rather, Arch is the only one that does it “right” with the AUR.
