We have a standard J-1772, and there was none of this plug type supplied at the ~4 charge stations (2 plugs each). Most if the plug-types were the CCS-Type 1. This station info should be updated.

This place is open and working! I called first to make sure the gate was open. Andy answered and was so sweet. He greeted us at the gate and took us to the charger.

Arrived when museum was closed and the gate was locked so there was no access to the chargers. their phone message said their hours were Friday through Sunday? But that we could arrange visits to the museum on other days.

We were in a pretty tricky situation in this area on the way to Vegas. Charging facilities are fairly limited in this area but this location helped close the gap to get to the closest super charger in needles. It seems that the charger can be accessed at any time of the day. The location is scenic with art installations by the host museum. Watch out for wild life. Leave a donation this service is seriously needed (and appreciated) in this area.

What a neat Historic Route 66 spot where my Spirit of Tesla - 2017 Tesla Model X used the service entrance to get to the windmill for a Level 2 Tesla destination charger (5 kW atv240 volts)...along with 120- volt Level 1 outlet. I will be back to visit this exquisite "Study The Past" historical site.

Nice place to go back in history. Very enjoyable
The Tesla Destination is now housed in a shelter. I didn’t test it with my adapter but looks in great condition.

Great historical museum on Route 66! Just 120v right now but 240v planned soon.

My car has a built in charger map; you don't need an app. And for at least their own network, Tesla payment on Superchargers is the simplest thing imaginable: just plug in whenever you want and disconnect whenever you want, without doing literally anything else. All chargers should work this way for all EVs (with credit cards / apps only as a backup).

When I road trip, I just plug into the wall (though we are 230V). Gives like a half charge overnight (and because you're not arriving on empty, you leave at somewhere between 2/3rds and completely full). Also, when traveling to see sights, there's (at least where I am) commonly chargers at the parking lot, so while you're out doing whatever for X minutes/hours, your car is also getting charged.

A couple years ago I drove around Iceland (one of the least densely populated countries on Earth) in my Tesla while friends and family were in an ICE vehicle. I was waiting on them just as often as they were waiting on me. And this is a model I got at the start of 2020, using a battery pack that had been little updated since the car first came out in 2017, at a time when most of Iceland's chargers were still 50kW.

I wish Colossal would just be more honest about what they're doing. They're not "bringing back lost species"; they're inserting just a handful of genes into modern species, genes which have the most impact on physical appearance. This is very different from bringing back the species itself, the entire genome. I'm glad that Slashdot's blurb at least had lots of caveats ("to resemble", etc).

(I won't even say that what Colossal is doing is useless. Their modified animals certainly seem a better starting point for future engineering efforts than just starting from scratch; at the very least, they'll be the right size for e.g. gestation / ovogenesis of the further modified progeny)

Why are we so predisposed to falling for this hype cycle?

The people without hope gave up and died.

The people with too much hope are suckers.

The people with just enough hope to succeed but not enough to be suckers took control of the system and manipulated it in ways that make people into suckers, and make suckers into bigger suckers.

Powell and Rice are not "said to have done so," they are perfectly well known to have done so. There was no legal problem with it then. Hillary operated her own mail server at their suggestion. And there was no legal problem with her doing so at the time she started to either.

I read an article on this a little while ago, I believe it quoted Powell as saying that he didn't advise her to do this until she had already done it. Who knows whether that's bullshit or not, or for that matter, if I'm even remembering correctly. I'm not currently on the machine with the relevant browser history, or I'd try to find it.

BUT, there absolutely was a legal problem with it then, especially for Powell, because he explicitly advised Clinton to run her own server for the purpose of avoiding discovery by being able to delete communications. And that is illegal when you are required to retain all official communications, which was the case.

I think most of us who have been here more than a hot second also remember discussing here that one of Clinton's staffers was reported to be seeking advice on email deletion.

The first two did not exist but the last two do exist but had nothing to do with the topic cited. It would still take a human to determine that these cases where bogus citations.

If you gave an LLM access to a legal database, not training it on it but allowing it to pull things from it, then you should be able to use it to check citations. It should be able to handle both looking things up and reporting null results, and also summarizing those cases it does find and doing a better-than-nothing job of reporting whether they were cited correctly.

If I were a lawyer I wouldn't trust such a thing to check my citations, but I would absolutely use it to look for low-hanging fruit in my opponent's work.
