The first thing that crossed my mind when I saw the clip of autopilot hallucinating flying traffic lights was that it was clearly DUI and there’s no way I’m getting in the car with that guy.

I'm not entirely sure anyone in that video knows how it works either.

You're not coming across as the aggrieved party here. Kid, curiosity, no harm, etc. Would a ride home in a police car have done the trick maybe ? It sounds like you're abdicating responsibility for your decision to the lawyer.

Me and the wife made a couple and whilst they aren't cheap, I wouldn't say they're outrageously costly to make/run. Not particularly reliable though... and yes, we seem to be having great difficulty copying the required

"street legal" afterburners perfectly sums up how nuts America seems from over the pond.

I think the more important question is "what kind of reception will I get from the FreeNAS forums if I turn up trying to run it on this ARM SBC with 4GB of non-ECC RAM?". If you've ever lurked there, you'll probably know

"The total transmission capacity between the two grids is 1.2 GW" That's a tiny amount for an industrialised nation of 125 million people, considering that the border between the grids cuts right between Tokyo and the other w

Whilst the idea of a national cycle network is commendable, the current routes include choppy pavements right next to dual carriageways with only a grass verge separating you from 70mph traffic (A64 west of York, for example). This is neit

Mind somewhat blown by the phenomenon of "ship tracks" presented in the article. I knew we could seed clouds to induce rainfall, but apparently we can make them more reflective too. So, let's discuss my idea for a huge fleet

I'm not sure I buy the possibility of negative water prices predicted in this article. Water is pretty easy to store until the market is willing to pay for it.
