There's no monitor in the car. But there is a chase car with a monitor in it. Technically correct is the best kind isn't it?

Apart from the technical limitations of FSD, Elon hasn't thought through the business model. Claiming that Tesla cars will be capable of turning into robotaxis seemed plausible a decade ago before all the negative externalities of Airb

Would you take a nap in the backseat while you ride? How much more improvement do you think it would need before you'd be willing to do that?

You have put your finger on why agent assisted coding often doesn't suck, and other use cases of LLMs often do suck. Lint and the compiler get there licks in before you even smoke test the code. There aren't two layers of determin

Balmer also killed the Courier tablet OS. Insisting that everything windows held everyone hostage to bad implementations of new versions of Windows. Which brings to mind Stephen Elop killing everything that wasn't Windows Phone at Noki

Elon's co-investors in Twitter got an exit that didn't totally embarrass them by merging Twitter into XAI. The price for this dubious fig leaf was to invest in XAI. Now we get evidence of false claims about... A. having the amount

I haven't tried anything music related, but I did have a need to embed video playback in user-created content in a consistent way across platforms. I'm pretty impressed with how that turned out.

I'm currently using Flutter for a project. Considering I've been lead author or co-author on a few Android programming books, using a cross platform SDK was new for me. Dart is easy to learn, and Flutter makes attractive UI easy.

I don't know if this is a common experience, but the first time I really needed a doctor, they spent the whole time typing on a laptop. Since that didn't result in any follow up questions or anything beyond a referral to a special

It's almost never a good idea to go for a technology fix when there are other obvious defects that could be addressed.

Market manipulation requires forethought. Cronies getting a text the night before an announcement is just opportunistic insider trading. Even if you can draw a straight line through the corruption, that straight line can't be longer th

Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Latvia, etc, were not under military occupation by a foreign force. You haven't been to the Museum of the Occupation in Riga, have you?

But for some face-saving gestures, a lot of colonies of the Soviet empire left unilaterally.

The Federal Reserve Bank is in effect a club of banks. They pay for it. It's not an appendage of the Treasury.

It's the combination of software that is infinitely malleable, and capitalism. Successful entrepreneurs in software want liquidity. So no matter how benevolent they start out being, they eventually lose control and the software gets tu

It's not just how well the language is represented. Obscure-ish APIs can trip up LLMs. I've been using Antigravity for a Flutter project that uses ATProto. Gemini is very strong at Dart coding, which makes picking up my 17th manag

Tesla is still trying to transition (heh) to 4680 battery cells. Elon has made the usual statements about Tesla being doomed if they don't make this happen. But it is a serious problem. Powering cars with tiny battery cells was brillia

Zero surgical robots stand on legs and walk around. Zero surgical robots have human-like hands. This is an impressively dumb thing to say when you are pivoting a car company to making a product where there are no real use cases. By that I m

Correct. Europe could adopt Keynes's "bancor" within months and that would be more devastating than dropping a bomb on DC.

I have an old but still perfectly functional high-end gas cooktop. I have no plans to replace it. Sturdy cast-iron trivets are bulletproof. You get visual feedback about heat intensity. I use enough heavy Dutch ovens and stainless and cast-

The recklessness is astonishing. Threatening war over an inhospitable island that would be an economical to exploit risks, for example, ending the fab business in the US because ASML won't/can't send technicians. I suppose ma

The US is on the verge of becoming a pariah within NATO. The Antarctica treaty ain't nothing compared to that.

Which would be more consequential? The end of US participation in NATO, or the end of maintenance and updates to every ASML machine in the US?
