I owned three Toyotas for last 7 years. I had multiple recalls but except one of them every other one was software update. OTA updates are cool but they more complexity to the car. I like my cars to be simple and reliable instead.

Some manufacturers hold off on newer, untested tech for years before adding that to their vehicles. This is what happens when safely is a priority. That's why I bought/will keep buying Toyota/Lexus.

Good points. Some people claim the current generation of LLMs have "intelligence" but in reality it is basically a habit- that let's them predict words. We can try to "teach" an AI system survival instinct, but then

Is there a crypto exchange that do this correctly? Isn't the idea of an ideal exchange go against the philosophy of decentralization? If exchanges are not regulated, what incentive do they have to handle assets correctly anyways? And f

Crypto is a pump and dump ponzi scheme, who would've thunk.

For me, the code red is that the search results viewport contains more ads and sponsored results than search results. This is one of the reason I gave up searching for anything on Amazon. Ironically, I use Google shopping instead.

Elon Musk is the Donald Trump of silicon valley. Sadly, Americans never learn.

Where do you think he'll get an ovation? Because he's hated in South Texas too. I'm talking Austin and thereabouts.

He's been selling the Tesla crowd on "wait a few years" as well when it comes to FSD.
