The NHTSA ordered a "recall" but Tesla found a way to fix the issue with an OTA software update so the cars do not need to be returned for servicing. > Although the problem is with the hood latch, as with many Tesla safety reca

Anyone who has had to deal with an automated phone tree will happily take a sledgehammer to most of these "AI" products. They are fun toys but couldn't figuratively tie their own shoes, much less do what corporations are aski

Mechanized warfare has been a thing for generations now. What is the difference between AI and a pressure switch? AI can choose to NOT kill the 13 year old playing football in the field 5 years later.

Unfortunately it only takes one dictator to make a war happen. Then it takes millions of lives to end it.

I think the most promising method in humid areas would be geothermal cooling. For instance, in Phoenix Arizona right now it is about 40C. However, about 15 feet underground it is about 26C. In Shreveport Louisiana it is about 34C at 45% hum

Personally, I think socialized healthcare like the NHS or a single payer system make the most sense. Nothing is worse that our current "Death Boards" where insurance companies delay life saving medical treatment by default in an a

Larger buildings are usually pretty good at handling seismic activity. When I was growing up in California they taught this in the occasional earthquake safety classes. Parking structures though are HORRIBLE. They fold up like an accordion.

I liked your comment! It was well thought out and typed. I just wanted to add a couple details I thought were really neat. The idea that stars can be destroyed at all blew my mind when I first learned about it. I always love to talk about i

White Dwarves are probably the only non-mainline stars in the Universe we know a lot about. Neutron Stars and Black Holes are a lot more of a mystery because of our trouble reconciling Gravity and the Standard Model. This makes White Dwarve

To add to this, White Dwarfs consist of electron degenerate matter, not pure neutrons. They have not yet reached the point where the electrons and protons fuse to become neutrons. Essentially the atoms have been compressed to the point wher

I think the big deal for power-to-gas methane isn't as energy storage, but as a feed stock for agrochemicals. There are just way too many cheaper and more efficient storage methods for electricity like pumped hydro and battery storage.

Electrolysis isn't a huge problem efficiency wise, but the cost to liquefy or compress hydrogen is insane. It's also scary high pressure. It's way easier to convert it to methane and store as LNG. In any case you are talking

Lately it's just been YouTube and Crunchyroll. Sometimes I'll rent a channel on Amazon without ads for a month to watch some back catalog. Discovery is a pretty good one. Sometimes Paramount+. I absolutely refuse to watch ads on a

Personally I think it will be more like a bunch of slow, high altitude, cheap drones with high performance BVR missiles and datalink. The missiles have just gotten too dang good in the last 20 years. When the MAR is over 50 miles on the dec

High Gs in a BVR engagement aren't that great either. You lose too much energy engaging in that much acceleration. The killer feature of BVR is the trade. If your loyal wingman will happily fly well into minimum abort range and launch

Unless it learns that it can take over the government and print money to increase it's profits. Then it will literally turn the world into cold hard cash.

If you have a bunch of cars sitting in your garage and you want to test your auto-driving software, you don't start by building a car. Simple as that.

I think the idea is that the pilot in the manned vehicle is supposed to be the one to decide on weapons employment. Also it's much harder to jam communications at sub-mile distances between a pilot an their LWMs. If you flipped it, you

Such drones will not last long on the battlefield. The countermeasures for MITM drones is going to be brutal in the next 5 years after what we've seen in Ukraine. Russia has already been doing pretty well using ECM against Ukraine&#x27

Higher Gs isn't a significant advantage anymore. Sidewinder missiles hit 60-70Gs and no plane you can make will out pull one. Modern dogfights often last for a single turn or even less. It's often a matter of who sees the other fi

I've always found that it's easier to code something from scratch, than to review and fix someone else's code, and that's been my experience with Copilot up to this point. I'm not sure if it's better than just

Nope, there is no "official" explanation of galactic formation. Mostly because we are still in the process of building models that explain their movement and taking measurements to compare those models against. We still have unexp

One thing that I really like about AI is that it's teaching people how to spend time and think when asking questions. To be honest, most "AI skills" are the same ones we learn in any technical subject where we have to write r

Yeah, Hydrogen is a horrible idea. Maybe 20 years ago when BEVs were really lame, but now?
