Amazing you feel that EVs are somehow more maintenance than ICEs. There exist EVs that have never had any manufacturer/dealer input since the day they rolled off the lot. Tesla/Nio are a bad examples - many EVs were built to be s

So it's a tool like the internal combustion engine, or the moveable typeset. Game-changing technology that may alter society but not dangerous like nukes.

All this "AI safety" is purely moat-building for the likes of OpenAI et. al. to prevent upstarts like DeepSeek. LLMs will not get us to AGI. Not even close. Altman talking about this danger is like Musk talking about driverless t

What's to say that's not the next step? First step, stop your competitors who are copying your IP. Lawyers are gonna be happy is my thought.

The entire point was to create more make-work jobs (TSA) at the expense of the general flying populace. Also another revenue stream (Clear/Pre-check/GlobalEntry).

Neither I nor my family have this issue. We're all on iOS18.3 - what kind of issues are you seeing?

Britons really don't like their current government (this sentiment has applied equally for most administrations in recent past). Do you think people are going to believe Kier Starmer or whoever is Home Secretary right now vs. Apple?

How could anyone feel positively about any changes to a codebase that are not allowed to be reviewed by anyone else?

Because iCloud in China is complete separate from the rest of the world. China is not asking to see other countries’ iCloud data.

Europe has instituted tariffs for Chinese vehicles up to 35%. Given the low cost of Chinese vehicles, this may not be a big barrier (like in the US where it's 100% tariff). Other than that, I completely agree - and hope that Europe ma

So "if I don't steal it someone else will"? I'd rate that as evil.

Honestly I think it's still a large enough market to get traction. They can always open it up further if it really catches on.

That's their beta group before releasing it to all for iOS (and possibly Android later on).

Mission Accomplished. iOS is a significantly large enough market that it will have some success for those looking to replace FB/evite. You can say the same thing about FB/Whatsapp or any other social network - you have to be in-n

Yes, Democrats balance the budget, then Republicans sneak in and break the bank with wars, or deficit spending.

This is such a huge thing. One of my relatives worked in the housing authority of the HK government - he said that at any given time at least 50% of the housing was publicly owned and rented directly to tenants for like 2k HKD (~300 USD)&#

I wonder if this administration's firing of many FAA civil positions and the federal worker "buyouts" are responsible.

If you really want to get into the bias, crime stats are also biased. In the sense that police officers arresting more black individuals based on race bias skew those stats. Without further information, the answer to the first question sho

Amusing Bruno seems to think in terms of labels when the reality is that the USA imprisons far more people per capita, and blatantly disregards its so-called "core freedoms" (ie, Bill of Rights) for its citizens very often. This k

Trump may be China's favorite US President. He is actively dismantling all of the US federal government and overseas empire piece by piece.

Because it's enlightened self-interest. I personally love paying taxes that go to these functions because they keep people in homes and off streets, they keep people from dying early. You may like the stench of death and despair all a

My father had Parkinson's and in my experience the lack of agency he had when trying to do daily tasks even other than walking was a real mind-killer. He was dependent on my mom (and later caretakers and skilled nursing facility) to d

Aren't the dementia symptoms greatly magnified by the lack of mobility in the first place? If we could get this kind of treatment early it might alleviate the need for dementia treatment.

Ok - that's really poor opsec. If I'm going to the bathroom in a train with my laptop (whether it's expensive or not - it has access to all my stuff - which is arguably more valuable), I'll sleep it, put it in my backpa

There's a fairly low ceiling for max context tokens no matter the size of the model. Your hobby/small codebase may work, but for large codebases, you will need to do RAG and currently it's not perfect at absorbing the codeba
