It will be run by the party that prefers bigger government... unless you remember how much the current administration has expanded the deficit and DHS. Also, if you're saying that the past 100 years of American history, with all its va

But when the plane finally crashes, wouldn't it be obvious in the investigation? Wouldn't that lead to further inspections of other planes?

From the driver's perspective, they push the brake pedal and it just works. Under the hood, there is software determining how much braking power the motor can provide. The car will maximize that and only use the friction brakes at the

Not Grok 4, the code variant of Grok. I think it's different - I agree with you Grok 4 kind of sucks.

Yeah, the speed and price are why I use it. I find that any LLM is garbage at writing code unless it gets constant high-entropy feedback (e.g. an MCP tool reporting lint errors, a test, etc.) and the quality of the final code depends a lot

I think that folks overseas aren't as capable of communicating with Americans as other Americans are. I think that American tech companies would prefer a motivated at-will employee at 3x the cost of an unfirable European with a statut

Yes, fair, but also keep in mind that 93% of American prisoners are men and 99% of rapists are men. The problem is decidedly a male one just because of the demographics. Obviously a terrible thing either way.

Unions have never been tolerated - they seized what little power they have through actual economic force. The kind that no king or government can oppose for long. Human rights and fighting graft don't have very much to do with the USS

I think that as long as the autopilot is able to fly in a crosswind or with an engine failure, it can probably land with one. Autopilots are already able to do these things. I doubt anyone has tested this in depth, but I'm not sure th

I'm not actually sure how hard landing is. Most airports that support autonomous landings do it by having ILS antennae that guide the airplane to within tens of feet of the runway, at which point the airplane switches to radar for alt

AFAIK they don't buy residential Internet addresses and so you're likely to be blocked using them. That's the only downside as far as I can tell.

I don't think that many Americans deny how harsh and repressive the regime is, but at the same time there's a mountain of evidence that NK controls its population's access to information or the Internet.

Not all of them were, and at least one of the arrested workers was here fully legally.

I mean sure, but you can't pretend this has been a standard fixture of US immigration policy in living memory. Calling it "American imperialism" doesn't make sense because even Trump's stated (and admittedly imperia

And yet he did not meaningfully reduce government spending with DOGE at all. He did pilfer a copy of the SSA database, though.

The "deportation of illegals" cannot reduce rents unless you think that undocumented workers are competing with Americans to pay $3k/mo rents in major cities, instead of living in RVs or cramming into small rooms. It can incr

The US is big - but these GM EVs under threat all had 200kWh+ batteries and 500mi ranges. The reason why EVs suck in the US comes down to high electric prices, scarce charging points, and the level to which EVs tend to be locked down and un

Musk did give up on the "no maps" thing a while ago. Tesla does map places for FSD.

I wonder if Musk will just give up on this whole "camera only" thing and use LiDAR and RADAR the way a Waymo would, but with less redundancy and huge economies of scale. This could actually be a decent opportunity for Tesla to bra

India is a poor country, and the risk-reward calculus for individuals living there on the bottom rungs of the socioeconomic ladder is very different from even a poor American, who still has access to running water, AC, and a very high minim
