The United States has already been destroyed. It is no longer in question, or in the future tense.

Looks like you forgot the URL. Interested.

If by "quickly" you mean reaching a far-away destination in much more time and with higher variance in arrival time than it would have taken if the origin and destination had been sensibly placed closer together, then sure.

That seems fair, yet even less likely to happen in America.

The issue here has nothing to do with the device and everything to do with the fact that car-brained America is so cowardly and broken that they will do some Rube Goldberg stunt before they even consider taking cars away from alcoholics.

LLMs aren't any of these things: infinite, knowledgable, patient, or ready. They are a compressed representation of all of the misstatements and misunderstandings in the history of Reddit. If you think you've been using LLMs to &q

It is almost impossible to find the article between the adverts.

Yeah? How are you supposed to line up the sticks? And stir the soup? I think the "Mawashibashi" faux pas is to whip the soup like a madman, or to aimlessly swish it, and the translated listicle doesn't convey that.

That's exactly the point. On big vertical building covers 1 acre of land but it has 80 acres of interior space. There's one honking water pipe in the basement that will never need to be replaced, instead of mile after mile of wate

Yeah well the problem is that after a moderately prosperous person buys a car and a house out in the suburb, the act of having spent half a million dollars makes them believe that they are entitled to drive their car into the city and enjoy

Have you ... looked for evidence? I guess I always felt that it was self-evident that horizontal development costs way more in terms of roads, pipes, and wires, and at the same time raises almost nothing in terms of revenues. Residential-on

Yeah, I agree. And if the surface is complex the Z features tend to obscure the complexity. I make maps like these for the cities of Berkeley and Oakland, but I use a color scale. And I usually aggregate at a larger granule than parcels. Fo

The only thing an autonomous system should do with janky modified cars is drive them very slowly to the state police barracks for destruction.

Even the most visible academic skeptic of Waymo (Phil Koopman) had to throw in the towel and admit that they've cleared every conceivable statistical hurdle to conclusively demonstrating that they are better than humans on injuries and

Waymo's software has crossed multiple generations of sensors and vehicles over almost two decades. It does not seem to be tightly coupled to a particular device.

Linux doesn't have any of: sufficient testing, sufficient static analysis, or sufficient pre-commit code review. Under those conditions, which I take as a given because it's their project and we can't just swap out the leader

I was just reading the QUIC multipath RFC. Didn't it come out literally yesterday? I guess it's common to have the implementation foreshadowing the RFC but it's jarring to see them back to back like this.

After thinking it over I'm on the side of the people of Iran. Why aren't they blowing up refineries in Corpus Christi, Texas?

by jeffbee 7mo ago
They'd win it, too. An alliance of Denmark, Canada, Mexico, and Iran should sack Florida and plow all the golf courses under.

He isn't trying to determine how well it works. He's trying to determine how large it is.

They can't. The data that would be needed isn't available at the time the prediction is made.

I mean ... it's great that they gave you a slight accommodation, but that's at best a bodge to workaround bad hardware and software.

It kinda sucks how "sandbox" has been repurposed to mean nothing. This is not a "sandbox escape" because the thing under attack never had any meaningful containment.

That is both really useful and a great example of why they should have stopped writing code in C decades ago. So many kernel bugs have arisen from people adding early returns without thinking about the cleanup functions, a problem that ma

The constant humming that causes the overwhelming population-weighted noise pollution comes from cars and airplanes, due to the fact that in America it is currently not legal to build an apartment except within 100ft of a freeway or at the

The article very very carefully avoids contextualizing this site, so as a service, here you go: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sully+Rd,+Centreville,+VA/...

That's worst-case +600TWh by 2030. The US electrical grid also expanded by +600TWh between 1983 and 1990. Did you panic at that time and, if not, why not?

I hear a lot of Teslas banging around corners in my town and it leads me to believe that EV drivers freed from annual dealer maintenance actually believe that tie rod ends don't need to be inspected and replaced.

Second Life, which contains only niche perverts, has more concurrent actives than Horizon Worlds.

Almost nothing. That is a few weeks of global medical R&D spend, spread over more than a decade.
