Yep, and see https://disconnect.blog/kara-swishers-story-about-sam-altman...

When Sam Altman was ousted as CEO of OpenAI on November 17, 2023, Kara Swisher started tweeting up a storm of “scoopage,” as she referred to her calls with high-ranking tech figures. Over the days Altman was on the outside, Swisher helped to craft a narrative that a board stacked with his internal rivals had pulled off a coup without a legitimate reason. The face of the AI boom had been betrayed and deserved to retake his position at the helm.

She’s chosen a few CEOs to more regularly criticize now that they don’t give her the access she craves, but there are many more whose narratives she will happily help turn into the official record whenever it will help them. Altman is in that group, and six months after his removal and return as CEO of OpenAI, it’s become very apparent that Swisher was echoing the Altman line and defending his interests.

the fact that he killed himself would suggest he did not believe it was a fun little roleplay session

I'm not sure that's true. I wouldn't be surprised, in fact, if it suggested the opposite, it seems possibly even likely that someone who is suicidal is much, much more likely to seek out fantasies that would make their suicide into something more like this person may have.

No, this doesn't describe California. From the comment: "has since "stabilized" to +10% a year.". The whole reason people complain about prop 13 is that it wouldn't allow it to be increasing +10% a year. In fact, the OP is actually kinda non-sensical given that they are complaining both about property taxes not increasing quickly enough and about them increasing too quickly.

that gives away too much information, instead i'd go with something that tells you that you've found the best solution. you'll still be able to know whether or not to keep going, but you get no information that makes finding the ideal solution easier.

when two sales figures are 4 months apart

Sure, 4 months apart but the xbox consoles have been out for about 5 years, those 4 months don't really make that much difference at this point.

Audi and Rivian are both luxury brands and so is Tesla.

Tesla is pretty widely regarded as non-luxury. If not for their price, they'd probably best fit into economy class. At best, only the model S and X would be considered luxury cars, and look at how the sales of those have totally cratered.

from their FSD data overall they should have a pretty good understanding of where they stand

They know where they stand when there is a safety driver behind the wheel. I'd expect if that data were really good, they'd be less secretive about it. But still, it says very little about where they stand without that driver.

Why? Would you compile the compiler from source as well? From what? You need to compile the compiler's compiler from source as well, right? Where does it stop? And why is that location more valid of a decision than the one that doesn't require building the build system from source?

keeping other countries skinny

Those countries basically don't exist, or rather they just haven't caught up yet. From 1985 to 2016, there are 117 countries where obesity has increased by more that 10.0% (in absolute terms). In no country was the increase less than 1.9% (which was vietnam, where 1.9% in absolute terms is a 10x increase in the percent of people who are obese).

It sounds like you are refuting the parent's claim. But those two categories add up to ~110,000 deaths over a 6 year period, which seems like can be reasonably described as 10000s per year.

But, more importantly, you missed a bunch of relevant categories:

V89.2 (Person injured in unspecified motor-vehicle accident, traffic) 80,434

V87.7 (Person injured in collision between other specified motor vehicles (traffic)) 29,982

V09.2 (Pedestrian injured in traffic accident involving other and unspecified motor vehicles) 27,934

V03.1 (Pedestrian injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van, traffic accident) 15,129

V43.5 (Car occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van, driver injured in traffic accident) 9,810

V29.9 (Motorcycle rider [any] injured in unspecified traffic accident) 8,410

V29.4 (Driver injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident) 7,688

V47.5 (Car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object, driver injured in traffic accident) 6,379

V49.9 (Car occupant [any] injured in unspecified traffic accident) 6,349

V23.4 (Motorcycle rider injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van, driver injured in traffic accident) 5,851

V43.6 (Car occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van, passenger injured in traffic accident) 3,728

V27.4 (Motorcycle rider injured in collision with fixed or stationary object, driver injured in traffic accident) 3,504

All of the Ivy League combined educate 65k undergrads. SUNY by comparison educates 5x that many

What a weird comparison. Yes, picking a group of universities that comprises 64 campuses is going to have more students than a group with a small fraction of that.

Yes, thanks for repeating the content from the article.

"In addition, we aim to not only trigger and control lightning, but also to harness its energy. Future efforts will focus on developing technologies for capturing and storing lightning energy for potential use (Figure 7)."

Yes, the author of the fucking article was the first to acknowledge that. There's a lengthy section on it. It starts with this relevant statement: "Tesla fans are holding on to the idea that this is not a real problem because it is mostly due to the Model Y changeover"... and continues "but that’s simply not true."

Your reading comprehension is not good.

From the article:

In a classic Mother Jones cover story from 1977, reporter Mark Dowie spent six months investigating the deadly Ford Pintos and found that the company rushed to create and distribute the cars to beat the competition

I don't know how they can be clearer that that is talking about the development of the Ford Pinto, not the cybertruck.
