Of course it’ll be awhile before anything like that, this is just one engineering problem solved. But self driving within a confined space like a parking lot (especially a parking lot that doesn’t normally allow humans) is a lot easier to solve than the general case. I think you’d see adoption happen first with fleets of cars or buses, before it would become common place for just regular stuff.

Physical connections are really rough, they require millimeter precision, Tesla has been trying to do this for ages

Not having a cable unlocks some interesting potential. Right now an inconvenience of driving an EV is that the chargers may be full and inconsiderate people may leave their car plugged in for longer than needed. Take away the need to plug in and add some self driving and you could have your car automatically charge then move itself to a regular spot once it’s done. Could make a setup like this a lot more simple.

Yeah that’s a deal breaker for me too. But the flexible and non-full time hours could make it an attractive side hustle or student job. Good luck getting anyone senior though.

If Linux gets popular the mega corps will just follow them there and then you’ll be asking them to uninstall Dell os or at least remove the Linux recall (powered by bing) that it comes bundled with. Just look at the modern state of android.

I strongly disagree, I don’t think act 2’s reveal would hit nearly as hard without all the build up.

the top stairs could have been added later, why demolish the old stairs if you don’t have to.

Powertoys is basically all the things the engineers internally couldn’t stand not having but the business won’t allow to be officially integrated.

Some may use some work around to use the international version which will be free of us control.

People who want to run businesses through social media, Etsy sellers, artists for hire, youtubers, subreddits as a customer service avenue.

If i get 10years out of something, I consider that to be a pretty good run.

I think it’s even more ominous. From whta I’ve read the american version of tiktok will be entirely cut off from the international version. This means even people circumventing the algorithm will not have access to non-american opinions and will not be able to either cry for help or get outside (less biased) perspective. From a selfish non-american perspective I think it’s really good that the rest of the world will be isolated from the source of facism, but it sure does suck for americans and it also gives china what they wanted in the end. Trump did build a wall, a great firewall.

I dislike Google as much as the next guy and I agree that you really shouldn’t use Google authenticator cloud sync, but the real problem here is the large amount of crypto. A scammer would have a much much harder time extracting it from a bank and even if they did it would likely still be reversible.

This energy would then be transmitted to one or more stations on Earth.

They spent exactly one sentence addressing the biggest hurdle to doing this.They also don’t link to the paper. Then they have this quote

Although the feasibility of this technology is still under review,

Which kinda makes me think this paper is bullshit.

The reason it’s de facto mandatory is due to some in house extensions, assuming they work with this I could, but I also don’t particularly care about my privacy on a work machine. But I will be checking this out for my personal stuff!

In VSCode (yeah yeah MS bad, I have to use it for work) it puts a yellow box around the charcater, which I don’t immediately recognize the meaning of and highlights the line as “identifier “blah;” is undefined”. It’s not like your gunna spend all day on it, but that could waste a couple minutes if the dev wasn’t paying close attention, which is “fun prank” territory.

No actually I’m talking about Tom Sott, the variety reporter style content and a signature red shirt. Just checked out Joe scott he seems pretty cool

It was created by youtubers to try and gain independence from youtube, it’s cooperatively owned by the creators. It is mostly the same as those creators youtube content but with no ads and less ad friendly parts added in, occasionally a creator will put out some passion project that wouldn’t work on an ad supported platform. It skews edutainment and video essay type stuff, contrapoints, strange parts, tom scott, philosophy tube and Not Just Bikes are a few that are involved. Quite a lot of content overall but most of it available on youtube.

I like and use nebula too, but it isn’t really a community, I don’t think it has any way at all for users to communicate, no comments no profiles etc etc

People used to joke that they’ll hear about an earthquake on Twitter before the the quake reaches them, this is the real life version of that which is pretty cool. Im a little concerned about the privacy of this system since surely they need your location in addition to accelerometer data to work but this seems like the sort of thing that might actually be worth it assuming it’s implemented sanely.

I really enjoyed Shipbreaker, I really hope they expand the game some more as it definitely left me wanting more. It’s a super satisfying game. A really fun hidden gem.
