It kind of sounds like you want to automate small talk. I think we need to have less tech, not more, if we're trying to solve this problem.

This is my experience as well. Whenever I !g as search, it is usually in desperation. I can’t remember the last time I found something on Google I couldn’t on Kagi.

I'm pretty skeptical of the safety as well. It's also pretty hard to judge where there don't seem to be any actual photographs of the vehicle, only computer renderings.

I would love a small truck like this, but I would honestly buy an old Tacoma or Ranger before even considering buying this on spec.

*edit: digging around I did find some footage on YouTube with actual vehicles. I'm definitely skeptical on the safety now.

Ive never understood the drive to make meat substitutes instead of celebrating vegetarian cuisine. I’m not a vegetarian, but if I eat some dish that is vegetarian, why wouldn’t I want to celebrate the vegetable itself made from instead of trying to make some fake meat that never quite hits the mark?

Data in the aggregate is quite interesting and probably of little value to marketers.

You have to weigh it.

I mean, wouldn’t this be measured by actual threat model and just “vibes” or whatever?

I just leave restaurants that have gone to the online-only menu. It's usually an indicator that there are other terrible cuts in service and quality going on as well.

tl;dr: rewrite it in Rust

Reminds me of the old Deathrow cluster. Sadly it shut down years ago after a hardware failure.

It's a fixed-price contract, so Boeing is out $1.5 billion on this.

I’m not sure that this is something that scales. Online reviews seems to attract only the worst in mass media (e.g., gamed reviews, complaint box for influencers who don’t get “VIP” treatment).

The traditional restaurant reviewer filled this role much better. His role as a trusted arbiter was closer to what people want from a site like Yelp, but it’s very labor intensive and obviously doesn’t scale.

Honestly, I was pretty happy with my iPhone 3G.

Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), an accountant and senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, told Axios in April that he wants to go "way beyond Direct File," calling for a "self-populating form."

"Why in the heck should you have to fill out your return when the government has all the information. They know what's on your W-2 form before you do. They know what's on your 1099 … Do you know how many mistakes people make?"

This is what I’ve wanted forever, which means the tax preparation lobby will be spending a fortune fighting this.

I was taught in drivers education (California) to always set my parking brake because popping out of gear while parked was a common issue.

I was taught this as well, along with curbing my wheels. I have a young family member who was taught exactly the opposite -- setting the parking brake was "harmful" to the car somehow and not to do it.

I hope Kia and Hyundai learn from this and get OTA updates working for everything.

I hope auto manufactures get away from the "we'll fix it in software" mentality.

Maybe when supply outstrips demand? It looks like there is more than enough business for the foreseeable future that there is no need to restore to protection rackets.

This sounds more about cuttings costs than anything else.

Most recreational flying is under visual flight rules (VFR). Your primary reference is to everything outside of you. You will check your instruments, but 95% of the time, you'll be looking outside. At least in the US, you usually aren't under ATC direction. Thus, it's your responsibility to see and avoid.

Flying over the ocean for any length of time is not a common thing recreational pilots do, and when they do, they should be a lot more prepared or flying IFR.

Flight sims are great for exploring unfamiliar airports, practicing IFR procedures, cockpit orientation (to a point), and other routine tasks. They are terrible for learning to fly, and in fact are detrimental to the task, since it teaches new students bad habits, like keeping their heads down and focusing on instruments.

I fire up the sim occasionally, but I don't pretend it's a digital analog. Instead, I treat it like it's a different aircraft entirely, including simulating preflight checks and running checklists.

This concept exists.

It was inop at the time:

"The jet’s transponder, which usually helps locate the aircraft, was not working “for some reason that we haven’t yet determined,” said Jeremy Huggins, a spokesman at Joint Base Charleston. “So that’s why we put out the public request for help.”

Two big reasons: 1. It’s a distraction from developing a solid IDE. I’m already displeased with their obvious VSCode envy and the new UI, so focusing on shiny features makes me unhappy as a customer.

2. I don’t want AI assist, let alone “deeply integrated” AI assist. It is a security and privacy nightmare. As the article notes about the privacy policy, “Neither the user nor JetBrains has control over this third-party data processing.”

Perhaps I’m a Luddite, but I think tools like this and copilot are terrible, and I don’t want to be forced into them.

Except peanut butter is not trying to be a substitute for butter.

I agree with the sentiment, but local papers are dying. My hometown paper is still locally owned, but I suspect it will be bought up by Gannett or some other national outlet soon. As it is, the paper is ~90% AP Wire stories anyway.

I'm guessing that in almost 100% of those cases, the decision to make an app vs a web site are not being made by the developers.

This is probably the best way to think about it. DEI departments seem like they would have the opposite effect: they become an adversarial entity within an organization. Integrating those goals into the organization as a whole seems like it would have a much greater impact.

I used to listen to Planet Money, but it’s devolved over the same dumbed-down drivel that dominates NPR these days:

“Money has always been used to buy goods, but did you know you can also use it to buy services? Here’s some pop culture reference comparison to fake a narrative.”

I think the show started suffering when NPR turned every show into a podcast; it removes the ability to cater to a more focused audience because you have to waste half the show doing background.

I’m assuming you’re talking about some sort of automation/AI that litigants could use. This is a terrible idea for lots of reasons.

Civil litigation is complicated, messy, and situation-driven. Lawyers are expected understand all this, and are subject to sanctions for getting it wrong. Pro de litigants are already behind the curve just trying to navigate this system, which presumes that parties are represented by legal professionals.

The biggest issue I’ve seen, however, is that pro se litigants are too emotionally invested in the process. They start from the premise that they are in the right and fail to make arguments that both advance their case as well as diminishing the opposing side.

Pro se defendants can access attorneys through legal clinics to get help and advice in many jurisdictions, provided by actual attorneys. In some cases, these attorneys might provide representation, but availability and case complexity often preclude this.

Any tools you might create to solve this problem will subject you, the author, to enormous legal liabilities. Many states already consider software that handles the simplest issues as the unauthorized practice of law. Trying to create some sort of AI to play the part of attorney would almost certainly bury you in lawsuits and be shut down by the court.

It also reduces the amount of commercial office space GSA has to lease/manage.
