   Gasoline as a fuel is an absurdly stupid idea, dangerous to handle, toxic, and has a tendency to burst into flame!

   In the hypothetical world where Im the Supreme Leader, there are crack teams of sharpshooters that who get placed around randomly selected grocery store parking lots dealing out summery justice to people that dont return their shopping cart

   Another bad take by the nazi defenders over at the ACLU. If the same people behind tiktok tried to buy the Washington Post or CNN they would be blocked by existing laws prohibiting foreign adversaries from controlling American media compani

   Amusingly I had the exact inverse of this experience. My senior year I signed up for the AP Bio course, but we only got 22 students signed up out of the 25 required to allow the class to happen (a very stupid system in of itself). Because t

   Well that was spectacularly bad. Failed to translate a single word from english->spanish. Admittedly I was using George Carlins favorites, but if you're trying to have an expressive language translator that refuses to translate &quo

   Any loss in revenue would immediately be blasted through the media as the destruction of jobs. Dont think of the pentagon as a fighting force, think of it as a make work (and thus make votes) organization.

   Such a great book. Two of the big stand-outs to me have always been the bit about his ex-girlfriend doing a whole research project about his beard, and the phrase "anally copulating shopping carts" pops into my head every time Im

   Many of the largest HPC customers (read: DoD, DoE, NNSA) simply will not allow their code to sit on someone else's machine.

    I've replaced 90% of my google searches in a day with ChatGPT sessions, I dont expect the AGI apocalypse, but I do expect that OpenAI will attain something like google level corporate juggernaut status.

    >> Flags with single character shortcuts can be easily combined—symbex -in fetch_data is short for symbex --imports --no-file fetch_data for example. I pretty much use argparse for making all my CLI tools, but I dont know of an easy w

    Perhaps a cool product, but I wont touch it with a 10 meter pole. Same reason I will never buy a Quest, Metas grubby fingerprints are all over it. Why would I buy a camera that can only post to instagram?

    I take it as a sign of the current state of hackernews that nearly no one took the time to actually RTFA. This isnt about making apps that run on the car, this is about being able to integrate your external apps with the fleet API. Like, ca

    Not to be That Guy, but all car seats are unsafe since they're in cars. Im shocked on a daily basis how stupid and short sighted our car culture is, everyone has to behave perfectly all the time, and the consequences are death for you

    Ive had the FSD beta for about a month now and never once has it gotten me anywhere without a disengagement, and has several times very nearly caused a crash. I know its anecdata but from all the youtube videos and press I was really expect

    I was really hoping for an apple version of something like the nreal air. Looks like a pass for me on the new apple ski goggles unfortunately.

    I think one advantage to putting the solar cells on warehouses is that the generation is much closer to where it gets used, reducing both infrastructure costs as well as transmission loss.

    I expected this to be lorim ipsum nonsense but google translate thinks this is perfectly sensible latin. Conveni, coqui, comedi might be my new favorite phrase.
