I've owned two Tesla's ( now a Rivian/Porsche EV owner). Hands down Tesla has the best cruise control technology in the market. There-in lies the problem. Musk constantly markets this as self driving. It is NOT. Not yet at least. His mouth is way way way ahead of his tech.

Heck, stopping for a red light is a "feature", where the car is perfectly capable of recognizing and doing so. This alone should warrant an investigation and one that i completely, as a highly technical user, fell for when i first got my model 7 delivered... Ran thru a red light trying out auto pilot for the first time.

I'm honestly surprised there are not more of these lawsuits. I think there's a misinterpretation of the law by those defending Tesla. The system has a lot of legalese safe-guards and warnings. But the MARKETING is off. WAY OFF. and yes, users listen to marketing first.

and that ABSOLUTELY counts in a court of law. You folks would also complain around obtuse EULA, and while this isn't completely apples to apples here, Tesla absolutely engages in dangerous marketing speak around "auto pilot". Eliciting a level of trust for drives that isn't there, and they should not be encouraging.

So sorry, this isn't a political thing ( and yes, disclaimer, also a liberal).

Signed... former Tesla owner waiting for "right around the corner" self driving since 2019...

The oddity is that LLMs are sounding... too... Human... the reacting to information and regurgitating it a bit too much like the average "learned person". Adding a ton of extrapolation of the "facts", just as we would.

LLMs sound like any pundit on any random tv show/newspaper/blog. The goal was never "fact", it was sounding human, and "intelligence", for which the definition in this case has been.. sounding human. Not being right.

Now, the question of whether they should or shouldn't do this...

Even Meta's ML research has a history of open sourcing everything, hello PyTorch. So Llama is just a continuation

This is more acute on hard news. Where a single page article may cost 100k to produce, yet wont be able to be monetized per its "cost to produce".

So yes, it would be a disappointment to lose "great content". now, here lies in the kicker. You get to decide great content with your patronage ( or lack there of)

From your own feed:

“ People are rooting for him to fail because he's a rich white guy and a political moderate. “

I really really really dislike this whole trend to feel “victimized” while being some of the most successful people in earth. People are “turning” on Elon after being hugely beloved, purely cause he’s doing idiotic things. Plain an simple.

Furthermore, we should hold someone who’s the richest person on earth to higher standards.

Oh brother…

I was not born in Italy, but I am of Italian descent btw. Not sure why that matters, but it probably does to you :-/

Also, I guess you mean only true northern Italians can play the character lol why don’t you phrase it like that as well. See how absurd it sounds?

It’s quite clear that that is YOUR problem. It’s funny when people like yourself claim “I’m not X” while then clear laying the case.

And for the récord, i hope you open up a geography book. There’s been black people in Italy for pretty much all it’s history. You may want to also read a few history books. (Black moors, Alessandro de' Medici, etc )

Also, can people just chill with this racist crap. It’s freaking art, up to interpretation. An actor can be of any race or gender. Get over it.

But, what this war has exposed is how bad the russian army is trained, and how not so great their equipment is. While a prolonged war would be hard for any country, they struggled from the get go.

I hope this doesn't embolden the US and Europe to be more aggressive. I really hope that cooler heads eventually prevail.

WRT to the really really far fetched ( I hope ), that Russia would launch any nuclear strike. The missile defense systems that NATO and the US have were built exactly to counteract Russian missiles in a situation like this. This will even accelerate the development of hypersonic interceptors ( afaik, already in final stages) .

It would mean total annihilation of russia, as their in flight missies would be intercepted, and it would guarantee a total attack by the us. ( we as a nation tend to over react... and not go tit for tat ).

I hope this never happens. The reason why countries need leadership changes often. And why stable leaders are needed everywhere :-/

Yes, there's sarcasm in there.

But part of long term human sustainability is well, figuring out the areas we should not fight the environment ( more than reasonable ) to be able to sustain a human population.

" In 2004, it signed a deal with Virgin Galactic to develop the Virgin SpaceShip, a suborbital spacecraft, for space tourism. Virgin Group and Scaled Composites have subsequently formed a joint venture, The Spaceship Company, to manufacture the spacecraft."[0]

There will always be naysayers, detractors, and people who will always question the value of exporation and human inventiveness.

Like in business, if it was obvious, it would have long been done. Yes, it does tak ea bit of brashness and self serving to do new things. and their practically is seldomly obvious at the beginning.

But this is EXACTLY how humanity moves forward!!! The crazy ones, the selfish ones. The ones that sometimes do it for the glory, or just because its' hard.

It's very easy to critique, but in the words or someone else... "what have you done that is so great?"

And again, you may not understand the ad space, as apple is doing what you think they are not doing. [2]

So why is it ok for apple to do that, and non of their vendors?

I'm saying Apple is ok with exempting themselves. How come their apps are not using the same dialog? Why do they hide behind "location services", when in reality, they are used for similar purposes?

Example, Airtags. https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2021/06/remember-apple-airtags-an...

How can AirTags highjack ANY apple device to report their location, without asking the device owner? Do IOS owners get asked in a dialog about allowing air tag tracking? NOPE

  "here’s a bunch of reasons why this might not work, not least that no-one except Google and Apple want Google and Apple to have that much control over publishing and advertising. "

The enemy of your enemy is not necesarily your friend.

Things SHOULD change. Moving the power from one big corp to another big corp is not the answer. No matter how convenient it may seem.

- Fatbergs ( danger in flushing them )

- Hands touching excrement, then you touching other surfaces.

- No, an active nozzle can't get soiled the way you think. This is almost akin to thinking that a faucet can get dirty. The force of flow is a LOT larger than projectile acceleration no matter how bad those tacos where. In any case, most bidets have self cleaning, and anti microbial surfaces.

But sure, keep on smelling. it's your choice after all.

- smells

- dirty laundry

- Comfort (not wallowing in your own filth)

- sweat does tend to flow.. bringing with it.. you guessed it.

But onto your point about "disinfection". I don't know which alcohol baths you take, but full disinfection isn't the goal. But since you need evidence.. "How effective is soap over plain old water? It works, but all else being equal, water has a greater marginal effect. " [1]
