No, with basically all other cars you can just unlock and open the doors with a physical key and a physical handle. That’s the next step in an emergency when the electronic locks fail, not fucking breaking through the fucking windows.

Servers everywhere in non tipping countries: y’all still do tips?

You’re goddamn right I don’t, but I don’t have a choice due to where I live. A car is a tool to me, in the same way that a vacuum cleaner or a push lawnmower is a tool. The most important thing a car should do for me is reliably get me from point a to point b in relative comfort. I could give a fuck about the “true driving experience” of a manual transmission.

Ok that black van model goes way harder than it has any right to

My crazy wacko conspiracy theory - software development is just a really weird discipline, most of the people in the field are bad at it, and it doesn’t have the same amount of standardization and regulation that other engineering fields have, so doing it “right” looks a lot fuzzier than doing, say, civil engineering “right”.

The biggest thing though is that most people are bad at it. It’s really hard to evaluate high level organizational concepts like waterfall vs. agile when we still have developers arguing over the usefulness of unit tests.

With other AIs

there are no such APIs

Yes there are. You can obtain access to the Kroger API, the Meijer API, the Walmart API, and I’m sure others that I didn’t bother to Google. Failing getting access to the actual APIs, there are tons of web scraper projects that just parse those stores’ websites for product information, and web scrapers are still orders of magnitude more efficient than LLMs.

Just don’t go over 14 billions, it would be complete nonsense.

Actually, the more data we get from JWST, the more evidence we get that the universe is older than 14 billion years. Some estimates have it in the 25 - 30 billion year range.

The “tool” you want people to use is the equivalent of sticking fingers in your ears and going “la la la la la la la”. Which, you know, is pretty widely recognized as a shitty tool.

Add me to the shit list

Just like any software design principle, it’s understood at a surface level by tons of bad developers who then try and solve every problem with that one principle. Then slightly better developers come along and say “ugh this is gross, OOP is bad!” And then they avoid the principle at all costs and tell everyone how bad it is at every opportunity.

I play online games because they’re still fun even if the teenagers are better than me

My favorite thing about this is I was using Hangouts for SMS messaging for like two years after they said they’d stop supporting it. I don’t know if I just got lucky and someone forgot to turn off a server somewhere or what, but even their inconsistency is inconsistent.

I get so many cloudflare captchas browsing on Firefox. They mostly go away when I change my user agent string to Chrome. Making the Internet more hostile for a particular group of users is pretty shitty behavior in my book.

I like to melt a little pecorino into my glue, the salty sharpness really complements the glue flavor

Dawg if you’re getting to the point where you’ve got enough grime built up on you that you can feel when water runs over it, you are long past due for a deep clean

The list of things people haven’t cummed in is definitely shorter than the list of things they have

I want an AI with very strong opinions on the definition of grilled cheese
