I am basically the core demographic that this sort of law should appeal to. I try to always bring reusable bags to the store, even though I live in a not-very-green city where half of the cashiers look surprised and confused by such a thing

Conservative talk shows could be part of it. I think electric vehicle cheerleading is another factor, especially since Tesla is one of the more visible manufacturers to not support AM. There are always folks willing to defend to the death a

I've seen those same articles, but also ones saying that was largely a ploy. There were billions of dollars in subsidies that took some time to lock down, and the reported problems with American workers evaporated right after the money

It's notoriously unsustainable. Those water intensive crops would be wildly infeasible if the farmers had to pay anything close to a market price for the obscene amounts of limited water they consume.

It's tragic that the LLM craze OpenAI kicked off is threatening to ruin one of the greatest common goods ever invented in the open internet. But hey, at least a handful of giant corporations and investors are making money, so I guess t

That sounds pretty bad to me. "At some point" would probably be millions of years in the future, but you're ready to force the issue this decade. If you asked everyone in a developed country what they think about completely u

Mr Beast and similar viral videos are hardly the outliers given that their traffic absolutely dwarfs the best educational videos. There is a lot of useful and interesting content on Youtube, but that's very much a niche use. The vast m

The US did not lose the war against Saddam. The war was started under false pretenses and they made a mess of the reconstruction after, but that's different from a military defeat. If one side of a war manages to destroy the other&#x27

You're talking about <1% of a massive piece of legislation. If you've never seen a sprawling corporate project where the worst 1% of the budget turned out poorly you've led a much more charmed professional life than I have

Wendy's recent plan to implement surge pricing in all of their stores faced a lot of public blowback. Consumers hate that kind of price gouging. Fast food is probably one of the least popular areas to have dynamic pricing because a h

It's completely different from the Steele Dossier. Project 2025 was written by dozens of former Trump administration officials and surrogates, by an organization he has previously outsourced policy to, and largely aligns with what he a

Elected politicians compete intensely with each other. Polling, focus groups, and pandering are common in democratic countries because people running for office want to do things that make voters like them. The system is far from perfect bu

Avoiding anything labeled "Smart" is a great way to massively reduce cognitive load and improve reliability around the house. I recently replaced my old cheap coffee maker that finally broke with a new cheap coffee maker. It took

Not everyone has the same set of use cases that you do. Device storage for example is a big deal for anyone who spends significant time outside of wifi. Buying more cloud storage doesn't help someone without an internet connection. Man

If you simply want to see the raw stats from a game and ignore all of the human elements you're certainly welcome to, but it's bizarre to act like that approach is or should be standard. The human drama and history aspect of sport

The reported issues dissipated awfully quickly once the federal subsidy money was locked down, and there was credible reporting that it wasn't a coincidence. The situation really looks like normal business wrangling that some sources b

Working in a codebase with 10s of other developers seems... pretty normal? Not universal sure, but that has to be a decent percent of professional software work. Once you get to even a half dozen people working in a code base I think consis

Succesful companies aren't built in a sprint. I doubt there has ever been a successful startup that didn't have at least some competent people thinking a number of steps ahead. Piling up tech debt to hit some short term arbitrary

I see a lot of mentions of itertools in this thread, which is indeed a great library, but I want to mention that itertools.groupby is one of the easiest to misuse functions I've seen. It's not necessarily intuitive that it groups

Agreed, rewriting standard functions is much worse than using standard tools that already exist. In addition to the extra boilerplate and reduced readability, that also sounds like an easy way to introduce subtle bugs. Standard library func

It's not just ad revenue though. Others put out content for exposure or as a way to connect with people or a larger community. Having that content laundered through an LLM removes those benefits. If AI ever becomes a major way to searc

That would probably be very effective so I think there's a good chance Google does take that step at some point. The only reason they might not is that it looks extremely anti-competitive to leverage their search monopoly in that way,

What a weird take. Nobody cares about a robot watching a movie, it's the robot reselling that movie and keeping the profits that is objectionable. I don't understand the speciest angle at all. Humans both inside and outside of tec

The fact that Tesla will only release limited cherry picked stastics tells us a lot. If FSD were actually as safe as Elon wants us to believe he would release the data to prove it. Until then we should not assume that the system is any safe

What does FSD stand for again? If Tesla wants to sell Fancy Unpredictable Cruise Control they should label and market it as such. It is insane how many dangerous lies Elon gets away with. Anyone else without so much wealth and power would h
