    I noticed it when I was in Brooklyn two months ago. In DC, where speed and stop cameras are the only form of traffic enforcement and where the bus cameras are also being piloted, t…

    Sorry, I did not intend to imply that was your case. I was more responding to a the reply (whether sarcastic or not) wishing that a car existed that combined both commuter and "mov…

    I can fit 8' lumber or hundreds of pounds of soil in my Prius. That covers over 95% of my needs as a DIY homeowner. When I need 10' lumber, I rent a truck for $60 and a half hour o…

    Loads of people have intimated that ChatGPT shows we're on the precipice of a breakthrough in that direction. Chomsky says we're not. If Chomsky's argument is a strawman, Aaronson …

    I don't know, that's Chomsky's claim. If I, again a non-expert, had to take a position on it, it seems far more likely to be true than not. Humans have access to a wide variety of …
