Considering a lot of the full YouTube videos are full of padding, taking over ten minutes to get to the point, I can understand why the shorts would have appeal.

Problem is one way or another people are being incentivized to target a specific runtime regardless of whether they have the material to fit.

Well yeah, I would assume Steam would be a big priority for this scenario…

There was also the prolific serial to USB components. The market was flooded with perfectly functional clones. Prolific deliberately broke support for clones, penalizing a ton of people who had no idea.

When people did too good a job cloning some of their chips, they made the driver break even their own chips.

Of course, in this case the vendor got their stuff into the standard Windows driver without even needing users to download anything…

The ultimate effect is that our datacenter just uses Linux laptops because in practice serial adapters for Windows are just too unreliable unless we try to be supply chain detectives for the cheap little serial adapters we buy.

Had a relative with a toddler that almost died due to his GCM overreporting his levels.

My mom had one and learned immediately not to trust it.

I’m shocked that both people I know personally had those devices turn out to be uselessly inaccurate…

I’ll say one point he raises is worthwhile, I can see how it might suck for the rest of the world to stop for the sake of a holiday that has no meaning for you, but then for your holiday the world doesn’t accommodate you so easily and you have to use up your days instead.

Nah, AI code gen bugs are weird. As a person used to doing human review even from wildly incompetent people, AI messes up things that my mind never even thought needed to be double checked.

Not only didn’t need them. They are considered a tactical liability.

For the resources to build a battleship, they o could build a couple of cruisers. In aggregate those would be more flexible, have better survivability, and have more offensive capability

It is a stupid bloated vessel for the sake of some twisted sense of superficial extravagant while in truth being a subpar waste of a bunch of people’s money. So I guess maybe it is worthy of being named Trump class.

Oh man, I remember marveling at BeOS in the day and for a brief moment in time when SSDs first hit the scene you could have a credibly fast Windows boot… Nowadays it’s worse than ever despite super fast storage, fastest CPUs, and gobs of RAM…

There was a while back some Windows developer externally lamenting how ass-backwards they were and as a result their NT kernel was woefully under-featured compared to other contemporary OSes…

Then I think they forced him to take it back and say ‘um actually our kernel is actually super awesome, my mistake’.

They did not, they had some touch screen button.

They basically needlessly increased risk for the sake of avoiding optics of a safety driver with direct controls possible.

One thing is that America hasn’t given a new presidency to the same party that held the office since the 1980s, at there’s already a tendency to waffle back and forth.

Trump got through the GOP primaries by virtue of energizing the racist hateful folks that people like McCain famously tried to talk down.

With the general election, people were miffed about Bernie, polling told them they could safely sit it out and Trump would still lose, and frankly people didn’t think Trump would be that terrible, even if they didn’t like him.

His first term made us a laughing stock and inflicted injustice at the border, but was mostly milquetoast otherwise until the pandemic, which tanked any chance at the election

Then various things contributed to a terrible economy with Biden, so people voted for “different”, and hey, Trump was not great but, pandemic aside, domestic situation wasn’t so bad…

So now here we are, an administration totally off the leash…

That’s a good point, also if you can compare like to like conditions and what the data does if you exclude teen drivers. Also if you can identify incidents related to bald tires and brake failures that wouldn’t apply.

Also would be interesting to compare human augmented driving miles to full autonomous miles. With the automated emergency braking/collision alert/lane centering assist. Anecdotally was teaching my teen to drive. Suddenly a car pulls out right in front of us, zero warning. If that happened to me, with experience on a formerly normal car, I’m pretty sure I would’ve wrecked. However my kids reflex to swerve triggered the cars “evasive steering assist” and did an action movie worthy maneuver, avoiding going off into the ditch and returning just right into the lane after getting around the other car.

Thing about autonomous driving is that it seems to get the stupid easy stuff wrong in dangerous ways, but if you have a demanding precise maneuver to make, it has a better chance once that maneuver is needed.

The challenge is one approach only needs to modify the transit infrastructure. The other means having to tear down and build new commercial and residential properties and force people and businesses to relocate in order to have a vaguely sane transit system. My area desperately wanted to do transit but even with rather significant hypothetical funding, they could only service about 10-15% of typical trips. They’ve settled on a plan that is much less money, but only serves like 5% of trips. To go with that plan, they are making restrictions around zoning to force mid density mixed use construction only, favoring one of the two chosen transit corridors.

They are trying but just people are distributed very awkwardly for mass transit.

Let’s put it this way. If you knew a person, and that person just had their fourth crash in 8 years having driven 160k miles, would you think “this person is a bad driver” or would you think “they only crashed 4 times, let’s see where this goes”.

Especially if you’ve seen this driver drive in the wrong lane, go straight in a turn only lane, and other dodgy maneuvers regularly.

A small sample size would just make the prediction highly uncertain, could be way better or way worse.

However others have made the observation that it’s reasonable to consider the miles driven as the sample size, and at over 300,000 miles, it is a bit more credible sounding.

Funny part was that tesla taxis also had a human attendant, but for the sake of appearance made them sit on the passenger side. They deliberately limited staff from being able to interact with steering and pedals.

They eventually moved those to the driver seat.

Going by inflation adjusted market cap values, it certainly looks like the financial facet of the AI companies alone are bigger than both those events… This is going to be beyond messy…

The issue is that as dumb as it is, SATA ssds are still a big part of the consumer market.

Even though nvme isn’t appreciably more expensive to make, it’s still used as a “premium” product., and SATA is a product tier to capture budget market whole protecting their more premium market.

This move is a clear symptom of the real issue. Manufacturers shifting as much capacity as possible towards big datacenter buildouts at the expense of starving every other market for these products. Trillions of dollars that will pay whatever it takes competing with a more rational market

So our utility came out and said they have to raise residential rates by a rather large amount, largely because so many data centers are demanding so much power they need to upgrade, so residential rates have to fund that…

Yes, the government that was accused of abducting a family is in the right, because that same government says they are treating that family well, and no, no one is allowed to independently verify that, but obviously you have every reason to take our word for it
