I thought it would be cool. I didn't consider the fact I don't actually like it when someone else is driving. I don't like being a passenger even if a person I trust is driving, so why would an AI be different? Apparently I l

I would recommend a Tesla to anyone, but not the FSD option. Don't waste your money on the FSD option, and you're fine. It's an expensive car that's super cheap to drive. The motors are basically zero maintenance. The ba

While there are things to hate on with Tesla cars, range is not one of them. I have a Model Y and for the most part I like it. I plug it in when it needs charging. What's so hard about that? I've been on several 6000+ mile journey

Yeah, and I think it will be pretty simple to do. Just switch over to looking at what district the applicants graduated (or what neighborhood they grew up in) from and try to equally represent all school districts over time. For instance, i

The shapes of the crystals affects the taste. If the salt is going to be dissolved, such as in pasta water, then grain-shape doesn't matter. Use the cheapest salt. But if the salt is going onto the surface of a food, such as in popcorn

I never thought that. I knew seeking professional help was about trying to fix the underlying problem through therapy, not about paying for friendship. I'm in the process of doing this for the first time myself. I'm having a first

We stopped paying first. As we got more comfortable over the past few decades, we wanted the news to do our bidding and confirm our prejudices. Because you can't please everyone, they failed, and so we stopped paying. Now all we get is

I don't think it's spurious to require evidence first before spreading possibly false narratives.

Less than 1% of NPR funding is from govt. Tesla and SpaceX get far more public money than NPR does. $7500 per vehicle subsidy. Lucrative NASA contracts.

I'm with you, man. I run an ad blocker and I sure would hate to pay Google another dime. But I have to say objectively, govt ownership ought to be reserved for services that either practically cannot make a profit or morally should not

It was a Fiddler on the Roof reference. I don't believe most people think of Fiddler on the Roof as a musical about pogroms, although from a certain point of view maybe it is. He's referencing it because the final scene is what&#x

How is it better? Seems to me the client is about the same as it ever was, which is another way of saying stagnant. Only the games have changed, and they don't make the games.

The Mac Mini is pretty tempting, but I wanted something even lower-power. 15W is possible for Celeron mini pcs. They are around. I ended up getting a Quieter3Q which is a Celeron-based 15W, fanless and cheaper than a Mac Mini.

by Lendal 3y ago
Just have to pay attention and be picky while shopping for the mini pc. Yes most of them are way over 15W but you can find them under 15W. My Quieter3Q for instance is fanless & runs on a Celeron in just 15W. I love it, but one annoyanc

I know exactly where you're coming from. I've tried to avoid the hype train but I still feel the hot wind from it because I literally had my manager ask me if I could use ChatGPT to do my last project faster. I was astounded. It&#

It does feel a bit like Bitcoin hype, in that I know there's something wrong with it but I can't quite put my finger on it or explain it. But this is why it's also likely to last a long time, just like Bitcoin did, because it

Oh, I thought "Dark Pattern" meant trickery, deception, and using the browser in a fraudulent way to make users do something they didn't want to do. The features described in the article are certainly unpopular and annoying t

I wouldn't call it "Dark" if switching it off is so simple and right there in front of your face. "Rapacious" is a great description though, and one I would see used in the title instead. These "features"

The reason I'm suspicious of these claims is because there's no empirical evidence to support them. I have this pet peeve about news people when they say "the market was up|down today on fears of _" and all the news does

This argument is like watching multiple Tarot-card readers arguing over tea leaves. Hilarious content. This entertainment is why I come to HN. Everything you said is a guess, but you say it with such sincerity and conviction, as if it could

That's why we spent all that money on free vaccines for the entire population. People who don't want to take the vaccines can now complain about a problem that they created, high infection rates. This story is all about how our gr

Okay, I'll defend floating point numbers. The choice of floating point over decimal represents the choice of science over money. In science, it's more important to have a number system that represents everything from the infinitel

I knew this was coming. GTA V is the game that finally caused me to quit PC online gaming entirely some years ago, and purchase a game console instead. I had to relearn everything, because I grew up on mouse/keyboard control and had ne

You're mixing two different concepts. One is how to design a graphical gadget, which is a problem for front-end art work. Another is how a boolean variable should be implemented, a problem for your back-end logic. Computer-engineering

Problem is, now it's years later, the product has been in the hands of consumers for a while now, and yet it still doesn't work. People are pissed off, people are getting hurt, and yet he continues to insist on calling it "Fu

They have a generous return policy. Buy an iPhone, sign in with it to accept the terms and get your AppleTV working, then erase the iPhone and return it for a full refund.

With a 45-year-old Tom Brady still leading teams into the playoffs, I think this is a bad argument. If you think you're experiencing a cognitive decline at 40 you should see a doctor. Physically, yes your healing abilities aren't

You neglect to mention the inmate has to pay for each scanned card or letter, which most inmates can't afford. And you can't write on it, because it's on a screen, so if you're sending crosswords, the inmate can't d

I don't find it funny at all. Bureaucracies use that type of excuse all the time to justify piling on additional cruelties. In Florida, inmates may no longer receive mail. No love letters. No Christmas cards. Nothing. FDOC claim it&#x2

More theorizing. Why don't they just ask the homeless, on an individual level, why they're homeless? They know better than we do. It's not like they're animals, such that we can't ask them a simple set of questions.
