The underlying thesis for the valuation of all these AI labs is that 80% of tech workers can be replaced with automation.

My read is that the main value prop is that they configure the WKWebView to not share any state cross-tabs. In the post they state that they've disabled DNS prefetch, WebTransport …

so the solution in this brave new world is to preemptively fill the gap with benevolent chatbot penpals?

It benefits whoever has the water rights since they're effectively able to export something that they're not paying the externalities on.

most residential proxying these days is used by the purveyors of AI

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

You're attacking a strawman, there are definitely alternatives such as mandating a protocol for describing content that parent-controlled content policies in user agents would key …

OHTTP, VPNs, proxies, tor, privacy hardened browsers at least attempt to hide you, if providers are "required" to ID you that all becomes moot.

if it comes down to trying to find illegal internet terminals (a la illegal radio receivers in the past), they will just put up planes/drones at high altitudes and loiter until the…

But it is an assault on privacy. If "protecting kids" was the goal here they'd push for regulation that forces websites to return standardized metadata that then gets interpreted b…

They control the last mile of the Internet so it would require satellite networking run by another country to cut them out like this.

As much as it pains me to toss shoes every year, I much prefer the light, flexible construction of disposable shoes to the heavy rigidity of made-to-last ones.

I'm mostly just lamenting people gravitating towards living rooms on wheels. Makes roads worse for everyone, esp peds and cyclists.

PID is a type of AI! That's why Space X blew up so many rockets, that was just RLHF.

the VLE looks great but the pricepoint basically limits it to livery use in cosmopolitan cities. I'm thinking they'll probably sell 1000s of units over the whole run in north ameri…

If they could shoehorn the Prius drivetrain into a Corolla hatchback (not sure of packaging, a Corolla hybrid sedan already loses 2 gallons of gas vs the normal car, maybe with sol…

GM does have pretty great chassis and controls tuning these days, but GP's claim is absurd.

You have not driven well driving cars if a 6000lb crossover is the pick of the litter. GM really went crazy with its Ultium SUVs by making most of them 77-78" wide with huge tires …

also the ride, and the interior is not great though post-covid all the other manufacturers except the japanese are speed running to that same interior setup

It's meant for spirited driving. If it wasn't so expensive it'd be an amazing car for tooling around on gravel roads with some skidplates. Electric won't take you out to the boonie…

At least on macos and linux you can put the whole process tree into a seatbelt or bubblewrap sandbox. This lets you limit file and even network access fairly trivially.

it’s not a psychological phenomenon. If a human engineer constantly used pompous language to deliver unvetted information (the number of claude slop root-cause analyses i’ve read w…

That's probably a good thing, the world needs appliance-like cars for markets where EV charging isn't there yet. Meanwhile Toyota is #1, moving millions of units, something like ha…

Yeah, if it's worth more than 4k registered, it'll either be fixed or shipped. California gives you $1200 to junk it, people will come pick it up for $1500 and a lot of times you'l…

For mid 2000s, the car is self monitoring so an emissions check is just a visual once over to ensure no physical tampering and a computer readout of emission readiness monitors + f…
