So, in the longer run, AI in general is going to be profitable, no matter what.

Only if they can charge more for the prompt than it costs to generate. GPUs aren’t free.

I wonder if they realize that if they can send a rocket full of people to Mars, others can send a rocket full of shrapnel to Mars.

It’s the combination of entitlement and the socially normalized wielding of a deadly weapon. Imagine if we treated road rage the same way we treat someone mag-dumping an AR15 at people.

Take a train to the nearest train station, then have your parents pick you up. If your parents live in the middle of nowhere and need unorthodox transport, then leverage the unorthodox transportat they already own.

This is after the US completes a base level of unfucking their complete lack of alternatives to car transport of course.

Which weather? Usually when people say they can’t because of the weather, it’s bullshit. See the classic “people can bike to work in Finland but not Canada” NJB vid.

The cost of the house won’t reduce by more than the cost of a BEV though.

I don’t want a dumb TV, and I don’t want to choose between “convenience and privacy” - I want a TV with a slot for basically a RasPi cartridge I can slot in that runs my own goddamn OS as the smart TV. This isn’t rocket science. This shouldn’t require compromise. Imagine if in 1995 every desktop PC had Windows 95 hardwired into the motherboard as the only OS that could boot; it’s deranged.

The real problem is that there’s no profit in any of the innovation we actually want, and that’s capitalism’s fault for being unable to deliver.

Honestly fusion isn’t worth talking about. The closest fusion has gotten to a viable power plant is Quaise, the geothermal startup that uses a maser (microwave laser) for drilling.

Speaking of which, geothermal might well be the main baseload power plant.

It’s in heaven (angels in heaven is normal), and the devil is obviously coming back from a meeting with god.

Fuck that, I’m nostalgic because there was an actual aesthetic with character. “Modern” flat UIs are boring and flat.

Roughly speaking you’d need to change the barrel every ~1000 rounds, and WW1 MGs shoot at ~200 rounds per minute, so you’d need to swap the barrel once every 5 minutes of continuous shooting. It could be half of that tho, depending on the barrel and the gun.

I don’t see a problem with regular speed cameras. What exactly is the problem (besides Flock lying/mission creeping)? Like, if Flock had said upfront on Day 1 they were going to do this, would it still be a problem?

Two seconds worth of googling gives me 15.6 million tons of CO2 from private flights, vs 3.35 billion tons from cars.

Minor nitpick: don’t compare millions to billions if you can afford it. Say something like “16 million VS 3350 million tons of CO2”. The meat of your point is 16 vs 3350, so highlight it!

It was in their block though - it was his reservation, but a reservation of a room already reserved for their block. Basically a double booking.

Practice shooting while drunk? Why?

What does this mean?

Ten TOUSAND? What’s a Tousand?

If the govt claims that nobody is hiding behind the curtain, then the govt cannot claim that shooting the curtain is attempted murder.

NixOS is a distro with cool tech where you declaratively configure your entire OS and can regenerate it from a single file. There’s some other benefits too.

Nix is filled to the brim with drama and dysfunction, and has been for years. This is probably another case of people burning out trying to unfuck the dysfunctional city of the project, although it could also just be drama.

What this means is you either groan and ignore it, rant about it, or grab some popcorn.
