We know Eric Adams did something similar with Turkish donors in New York. There was also a ton of reports of this happening during Trump’s first campaign.

I wish I read this comment before wasting my two minutes as well…

This result has probably been priced in since it hit the current floor in March. The bump after the report is likely because there were no bombshells in it. They’re saying they’re still on track for all the vaporware that the valuation is based on. It will drop again when they’re inevitably delayed and it becomes clear the robots and AI taxis aren’t revolutionary but just exactly what other companies already beat them to.

I had scanned through it, and it looked like the exact same stuff that Google and Microsoft say. Paraphrasing: “we value your privacy” “we’re de-identifying your data” “the processing occurs on-device”…

Apple probably is better on privacy than other big tech corpos, but it’s a race to the bottom, and they’re definitely participating in the race.

Apple is the best on privacy though right?

I thought R2 is pretty much the size of a Honda CRV, much bigger than a Fit. The Fit has very little 2nd row room and a pathetic amount of space behind the seats, about as wide as a single carryon suitcase.

The R3 looked like the size of a Civic (but taller) and I do hope that one can get down into the 20k range, but I’ll be surprised. Model 3 is still nearly 40k at minimum.

Reading stuff like this is so crazy. They just go “hey 150k is a nice big number and should be plenty of heads, let’s just just take way the livelihoods of tens of thousands of actual people to make a number look nicer”

Even with the recent 737 max issues, it still remains safer to fly a Boeing than to drive wherever it is you’re going. Unless you live in Japan, China, or certain parts of Europe and Asia with safe high speed rail, you’re better off going with Boeing than almost anything else.

That moment where I start getting a headache around 11am because I forgot to make coffee after breakfast…

What is sensory overload? Is it like that thing where you have to turn the volume down in the car when trying to park?

A couple were surprising but others seemed obvious in hindsight. Some of these AI models have a really specific vibe that is easy to spot. It can be removed sometimes but if the prompts don’t prevent it, the images tend to have this glow and pop that many real images don’t have. They’re perfectly detailed if that makes sense.

Got 14/20, which I feel pretty good about, but you do this survey every year and it’s gonna keep going lower. I bet even a year ago, most people would be above 75% accuracy.

They wouldn’t do it if they didn’t think it was effective.

Sources?

It’s redundant because there’s basically a circular argument that G and C are using to not respond to the workers. Workers want to C negotiate with G on the terms of their work with G but C says they can’t because they’re just contracting with G. Then G says the workers can’t negotiate with G because they work for C. Both companies point the finger at the other as to why they can’t help and just give nothing back to the workers.

Maybe it could, but it won’t.

Around these parts you can’t just put information without stating your bias. Your bias WILL be assumed and you WILL be canceled.

In beer form, it’s a bout a pint per day. Not too bad actually. I probably average close to that, since I’ll have a can of beer most nights, and a few pints and/or cocktails on weekends.

750ml is the typical size of a bottle, so it would be more like 32 bottles per year, or 2.67 bottles per month.

For what it’s worth, Brightline Florida isn’t quite considered high speed by most metrics. It will have a short 125 mph section, which is kinda the minimum design speed to be considered high speed. The state of rail in the US is so bad though that Brightline Florida might actually have a higher average speed than the Acela…

Brightline West between southern CA and Las Vegas will be designed as a deticated high speed line though.
