Immediately afterwards the console locks hard.

I want to know how it runs in -40 when it actually gets cold out.

And I mean living in -40, I don't mean being brought out of a heated room temperature garage for a 20 minute run around a track. If I need to heat my garage all winter to have an EV I'm not coming out ahead carbon-wise.

Because the guy was lead counsel for the company itself in addition to being a former FBI director.

Which to me says he should be jailed, given that old twitter was a cesspool of Cheese Pizza

I've been living my best life on searx on every device. Why bother with one search engine when you can use 10?

I think it's more about design constraints. What is it you're trying to accomplish? If reliability and maintainability aren't on the radar, then your design will be fundamentally different than if they are. If you're trying to minimize the amount of material because that's technically "green" too then you end up with a completely different design. If you're trying to minimize the amount of waste material then you end up with a completely different design. If you're trying to minimize the amount of energy used in manufacture then you'll end up with a completely different design.

Happens a lot in our hard goods like washers, dryers, refrigerators. Instead of designing something to run reasonably well for 50 years, we design something that'll run with slightly less electricity for 5 years then need to be replaced.

"you see, where is the Nazis wanted to murder the light-skinned people who controlled the banks and the media, we millennials want to murder the white people who control the banks and the media. Clearly this means that there is nothing racist about us, and we are nothing like the Nazis"

It's kind of impressive how stupid we are.

The one thing I find ironic is that in the millennials are constantly talking about the nazis, and they don't seem to realize that uncritically doing whatever the establishment tells you to do is exactly how you end up with the nazis. Or the soviets. Or Mao's Great leap Forward and cultural revolution. In spite of the fact that history tells us they are the bad guys, they keep assuming that because they are not specifically the Nazis they are the good guys.

The key will be how we raise our kids. Which doesn't bode well.

They very well might. There is historical precedent for it.

Gen alpha will probably be the generation that picks up the pieces. The millennials are just boomer lite, they hate the boomers because they see themselves, the zoomers will be the people hit hardest by all the bad decisions, they're on only fans right now ending their futures for current monetary gain, and it'll be gen alpha who grow up seeing the millennials and seeing the zoomers and rebelling when they see what is coming in their future.

(At least, one can hope)

"what if you run out of memory?" "What if you're trying to run chrome?" "Checkmate"

Hah most computer folks didn't even have giga anything on their radar that year. I think I had a 300MB hard drive and the question was "what will you do with that much space?!?"

I've been reading Beowulf to my son, and I know he tolerates it rather than really liking it -- I don't like it either but I think it's important. My wife goes "he doesn't like that!" Expecting me to stop and I just go "I know" and keep reading anyway lol

Just like what you said, parents need to be parents and that means doing what's right instead of what's easy.

I think part of the problem is that the kids are being told they have no future, that everything is doomed, that they won't live to have kids and if they do their kids won't live to have kids...

It's all bullshit. Life is harder than it was for the boomers, but history is written by those who show up, and those who show up do have a chance at succeeding.

On the other hand, the first enlightenment happened in part because people stopped meeting in the beer halls and started meeting in the coffee houses. The sober mind is critical to coming up with the next generation of greatness.

We're chemically more sober than ever before, less alcohol than any other generation for example, but we're intellectually intoxicated thanks to a finely tuned machine intended to be spiritual soma.

The thing that's the most surprising about them is how unsurprising they are.

Not because nothing was happening, but because every single goddamned thing we thought they were doing, they were doing. It's the banality of evil, violations of basic human rights on a massive level and it's just the day to day grind.

If people don't learn to recognize and utilize the talents that mean they'll always surpass an AI in certain ways, they'll eventually find themselves obsolete. Ultimately the person they'd be cheating is themselves.

I don't want Orwellian "trust and safety" on my fediverse.

If you want to be lorded over by people who consider themselves your betters, big tech is that way 👉

Having used SAP, they might want to use this letter on some of their current employees.

I wonder how many times execs admit in private comms that they're working for ponzi scheme companies that can't possibly deliver any of elons promises?

Don't get married to have more money. It never works.
