Across 271million miles it's safe to assume the weather is similar. But even if the answer is something stupid like Waymos don't drive in the rain (which they do, they only stop during really severe storms), ultimately that's still injury avoidance as it just shows poor judgement of the people who drive under dangerous conditions.

Until it is suddenly "Yes". Pretty much everything you have around you today at one point was the subject of one of these research articles that people thought could never be mass produced. Hell I remember people saying colour LCD panels could never scale beyond a few pixels and that work in a lab was useless.

You're absolutely correct. The hardcore rightwing nutjobs will twist the truth any way to ensure their narrative survives, even if it means completely denying reality, but there are many voters who are in play who are not hardcore. They're often not well informed, so they hear from their right wing nutjob buddy that the democrats want to bring communism and abolish the police...and their left of center friends scold them for not picking up the nuance of their horrible messaging and branding. Remember, the couch is always on the ballot. Lots just hate politics and stay home unless you motivate them.

The best parallel is UX. You can make your website idiot-proof and intuitive and compelling....or you can make it however you want and scold anyone who can't figure out what you had in mind....say that they're the problem because they're not smart enough to figure out your genius ideas....good luck with that if you want to actually win an election.

One comment on that screenshot. Your AI said that it fetched a Wikipedia page from the Internet Archive because Wikipedia blocked it, if I understood it.

Kind of a dick move. Wikipedia has clearly indicated that it doesn't want your AI using it as a resource, and so has the Internet Archive. IA in particular is a non profit and their servers are melting in the inferno of all these AI queries right now.

China hasn't lied about coal usage. We know because we can measure it from space, since they have to burn it to extract the energy. This is the same as the false claims that they covered up tens of millions of COVID deaths. We would see it from satellites if they tried to.

That said, everyone bullshits Trump. Denmark just got him to agree to a 70 year old treaty on Greenland by telling him it was new and he was getting what he wanted for defence. Chances are whatever the agreement turns out to be, it will be mostly what China wants, with a bit of input from US tech bros, framed to make Trump think he won.

Model training is their major expense and they are getting ready to do an IPO so they are using it as an excuse to take that expense temporarily off their books. They are also asking the government to do regulations that will hurt their competitors but not them since they are established enough to do an IPO.

Not one of these people gives a flying rat's ass about your safety and they could care less about whether or not you can make a living in 10 years.

If you think I'm retired what do I care remember you use the stock market to keep your retirement savings ahead of inflation and what's going to happen to the stock market when we've got 25% functional unemployment? Oh wait we already have that.... How much longer do you think your retirement savings can last. And that's before we talk about how they are moving to loot your 401k. Go look up Patrick Boyles YouTube video on SpaceX IPO.

Every single system designed to protect you is failing or has failed. At this point it's more like a semi truck where it needs a couple of football fields to stop. But when it comes to a sudden stop or boy is that going to suck for all of us.

I mean not you of course. You the reader or a special boi and exceptional so nothing bad could happen to you because God is looking out for you right? You can keep rolling those Dice and they'll never come up snake eyes...

I could be wrong about that. I thought I saw it, but maybe not. The RISC-V cores are much preferred over the other ones, not least because RISC-V gets more attention in GCC.

I think Espressif also used ARM in some parts. They are a bit frustrating because ESP32 has a good ecosystem and is cheap, but it's also got crappy tooling and its peripherals, it's microcontroller features, are lacking. As well as having to use their library code, unless you reverse engineer the part, they are just very basic and inflexible.

Unfortunately though they are the only option really. The RPi Pico W is more expensive and there isn't much availability of small modules. I haven't really looked much beyond that. ST don't have much, just one co-processor module which doesn't make me confident that they are looking to develop the product range. Microchip's WiFi co-processors are all legacy products now, and poorly supported.

I ended up just making my own WiFi co-processors with ESP32 modules. NEMA over UART and I2C device interfaces. Not finished yet, and it's a pain having to have two MCUs to program and maintain, but I haven't found a better option.

Fox News is on 24h in your house huh.

Trump wasn't getting nukes in the first place and there was zero evidence that they made any progress since the sanctions on their previous nuclear deal.
Trump has agreed to give Iran more money than all previous presidents combined, and that's not taking into account the cost of his stupid war.
It only became some other President's bigger problem because that other president is a fucking moron. There's a reason zero people in the international community (no Netanyahu is not a person) agreed with Trump on this.

I'm genuinely impressed at the density of incorrectness in your post. It's like god decided to give you your brain on Friday afternoon right before clocking off.

I'm not sure why this was marked as troll, it's spot on in many cases. The most egregious example I can think of is Canada. He negotiated a free trade agreement with them, said it was the best thing ever, then fast forward 4 years, says it was the worst deal ever negotiated and then put tariffs on the trading partner which was honouring the agreement he himself made.

Trump's word isn't worth the tweet it was twote on, much less any paper.

As I said, /. is flawed, but it's still the best system of any website I've found so far. Ars is a pile of manure for comments. Groupthink as bad as Reddit.

It buggered up the OS enough that it wouldn't boot, possibly because of the client side software for VM integration. I didn't investigate too much, I just made a new VM.

Calc is not compatible with excel. There's some 60 functions (nearly 15%) which are unique to one or the other or implemented in a different way, and Calc doesn't support VBS (which is offensive).

It was never fully compatible.

The reality is most functions simply aren't used. I suspect this one won't be used much either as there's so much scope to break things.

LOL. Every time Microsoft touches features someone blindly says EEE without thinking. But in this case it's even more absurd since all alternatives have never been feature / function identical. Are you going to accuse LibreOffice of EEE because it supports 25 more functions than Excel does, while implementing 30 functions which are different to Excel, and while Excel previously had 30 unique functions as well?

The alternatives have never been feature comparable for every individual item. In fact in terms of compatibility in businesses the biggest feature of Excel (office in general) was never implemented: VBS. The corporate world remains hopelessly addicted to horrendously coded macros.

I think in reality most people will ignore this feature. It's simply a bad idea and breaks the function of a spreadsheet.
