At any given moment there is always someone predicting that the economy will crash. So someone will always have predicted it. The question is do they actually have some insight or were they just lucky.

I've seen the narrative that population estimates are wildly wrong on the high side become more popular in the last few years. It's hard not to think it's yet more enabling work for creeping fascism. To be clear, the linked a

And a truly disappointing number of people just accepting company PR as a complete account.

You don't have to think anyone is behaving horribly to acknowledge that a company's PR department will tend to put out the version of the story that makes them look best.

You're right, what you're saying is batshit insane.

It's hardly surprising that the version of events from the PR department makes Waymo sound completely blameless.

Lighting failures are usually headlight alignment problems, i.e. blinding oncoming traffic They shouldn't fall out of alignment that quickly so I'd guess they're poorly aligned from the factory

You can have a read of the Irish stats posted above. No pre-inspection confounders here, all tests performed by an independent body. Teslas fail a lot more than comparable EVs

Also to add, the Irish system is totally different to a lot of Europe. The owner always brings the car for inspection, it's never part of an annual maintenance package.

They had an overall failure rate of 20% so I don't think that's the case. Anecdotally most people I know here don't bother with preinspection. It's usually cheaper even if it fails the first time. Although looking at the

An 18% failure rate on a one year old model Y under "suspension and steering". This is absolutely shocking. For comparison the ID4 had 0 failures at this age for this category, and for a much larger sample size. I assume these are

I'll take the down votes. I think it's a moral imperative to mock this sort of incurious self aggrandisement on sight.

Wow, you should go tell those highly specialised conservators with decades of experience this. It's incredible that you know more than them! You're so smart.

Writing code is a tiny part of the problem. Operating the resulting system is also a huge value provided by low code companies. If LLMs have eliminated ops I haven't heard about it yet.

I don't think it required much training for Alex, I think he just has an under active amygdala or something

You seem to think this is a failure mode and not the system working as intended. I encourage you to read some Stephen Miller posts. Dead liberals is a nice bonus to them.

If it's helpful the BBC have an edited video that shows the time around the shooting without the actual shooting. It makes it pretty clear that the official narrative is bullshit without having to watch someone get killed.

If you ignore the increased grid complexity and need to over provision then sure.

Gas prices are high at least in part because of reduced exploitation of resources. For example here in Ireland we have stopped extracting our own gas and now import. I'm I'm favour of increased renewables, but we need to be truthf

How anyone can not think this is completely insane I dunno. Do ~40% of Americans really want their country to become a rampaging conqueror?

I’m on a lovely local mastodon instance with polite people who post interesting things. It feels like internet from a bygone age.

I’m really hoping that we’re about to see an explosion in critical thinking and skepticism as a response to generative AI. Any day now… right?

What’s becoming clear to everyone is that nobody is Trump’s ally. Even Netanyahu discovered that this week.

That bit about focus event order gave me flashbacks and raised my heart rate by a couple of bpm. Had some bad times with that ~15 years ago!

You think Denmark is not the US’s ally? They would happily cook up an angle but there is absolutely no world where that angle involves selling Greenland and that appears to be the only result Trump will accept, presumably so he can go down

Why stop there, let’s reconsider the Louisiana Purchase and the War of 1812. Greenland has not been an issue in over 100 years.

Campaigning for Trump was useful for Farage when Trump was a fun edgy character that his base liked. This Greenland stuff is deeply unpopular across the entire political spectrum in Europe, there is no way to back selling off a sovereign te
