In case anyone hasn't visited the Sol LeWitt installation at MASS MoCA in North Adams MA, do check it out. They usually have some other good stuff there too.

"Revert the changes to ..." 4 zillion tokens... 10 seconds...

Instead of > git checkout

just to keep Cursor in the loop.

I assume I have probably eaten up my $20/month in tokens just on stuff like that.

That being said... on the linked page it says:

> Outflow water has been sampled after every use of the system and consistently shows negligible traces of any contaminants, and specifically, that all levels have remained below standards for all state permits that would authorize discharge. TCEQ, the FAA, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service evaluated the use of the system prior to its initial use, and during tests and launch, and determined it would not cause environmental harm.

Is this all lies?

Right now, it works just about flawlessly on the freeway. If you turn it on when you are on the on-ramp, and turn it off when it delivers you to that first traffic light after you exit, it actually is maybe better than actually driving. It passes slower cars, it is way safer than I am at checking my blind spots. It uses the HOV lane at appropriate times. I enjoy letting it perform the chore of getting across 5 lanes of traffic in time for an exit much more than doing that myself.

For local driving, it is still not perfect enough. It WILL get you home safe... but it is more stressful having it drive than driving myself. It pauses awkwardly sometimes... it makes an occasional wrong turn. It handles traffic lights and stop signs reasonably well but overall it's like driving with someone who is just learning to drive. It's more stressful than I prefer my transportation to be.

That being said, I think in a couple of years it will stand as an incredible achievement. The driving behavior it exhibits is incredibly lifelike at times and it is really so close... like all engineering projects the last few percent is sometimes the hardest, but I can see it getting there.

Edge cases.

That being said, I would never rent or drive for more than an in town errand, any other brand of electric vehicle that doesn't allow the use of Tesla's superchargers and it is obvious why that would be a completely egregious breach of customer service to rent such a car to an unsuspecting customer.

I am not looking forward to going back to Yaris.

Oh now you want a straw?

Not really. There are plenty of decentralized exchanges which are proven, reliable, auditable, generally used by many without issues.

see: https://uniswap.org https://curve.fi/ https://1inch.io

It's the centralized exchanges, which are more akin to traditional financial institutions whose records are not on a publicly visible blockchain but rather private databases or... apparently spreadsheets... which fall victim to the same issues we have seen in the past in the traditional financial world.

Tesla/NACs connector is just stick it in and it works... the car holds onto it until it is done or you tell it to let go.

I don't think I've ever seen a public J1772 connector that had a functional spring in the little thumbpress/lock/turn on thing which means if you don't know you need to stick a key or pen cap, or squeeze really hard to pry the little fucking plastic tab up to the lock position, it just won't work.

I guess that ownership stake smooths some things out.

Ever use Tensorflow? Or... use 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server? Or... Gmail? or Learn something from watching YouTube?

One has to pay the bills somehow. If Google disappeared from the Earth would the replacement be better?

It's open source, decentralized, there are hundreds of providers... and it doesn't rely on trust. As long as less than half of them are forced, coerced or compromised you should be ok.
