It’s like that hilariously bad IEA solar capacity growth estimates chart but in reverse.

I get it that most cab rides are for 1 or 2 people, but why on earth wouldn't you re-envision the form factor for a taxi to maximize interior space and ease of ingress/egress? Think hackney carriage rather than "looks cool like a sports coupe." This concept just seems dumb for taxi use.

I simply can't fathom why someone who is 85 years old and has served *18* terms in office so strongly feels that *they* are the person that needs to still be in that position of power. This is not public service. This is reckless and selfish.

24 years in and retired as a Major? Was he green to gold?

(me, a former 2/44 Vulcan gunner from the olden days) I said something to the same effect a few days ago. Time to bring all the PIVADS out of mothballs.

I got a crisp $50 bill that says it never starts production.

Forthwith! I said GOOD DAY!

The last time that I accepted a Tesla through either Uber or Lyft, it was a Model Y driven by a younger guy who almost immediately turned on FSD and proceeded to dork around on his phone. I told him he needed to turn it off and drive himself, and he was pretty miffed. I ain't paying for that.

The Cloudflare "are you a real person" checks are getting completely out of hand. There's gotta be a better way than adding 10-15 seconds of wait time bullshit or hitting a check box every time I visit a web site.

It’s not prohibited, I just personally feel that it shouldn’t be done out of uniform regardless of whether the person served.

And that salute form by Vance is total shit.

Also, you’ll never get me to be ok with civilians (or *anyone* in civilian clothing) rendering a hand salute rather than placing hand on heart. I know it’s technically ok, but it simply shouldn’t be done IMO.

I still can’t fathom why he’d voluntarily give up his senate gig for this. Seems like nothing but downside to me. Like, where does he think it goes from here?

Clearly dude has never stepped on a Lego barefoot.

Wow, had no idea that Neil Patrick Harris was in the running for that.

They're working on plans to get their troops mustard stains.

This is what confuses me. With minimal effort he probably could have been a senator for the rest of his working life. Pretty good gig. And he tosses that aside for this?

Everyone seems to forget that for Desert Storm the troop buildup started almost right away after Kuwait was invaded, and it took almost 6 months before we went on ground offense. And that was with relatively strong public support compared to the current actions.

Time to bring all the M163/167 Vulcans out of mothballs.

(way back in the olden days I was a Vulcan gunner during my first stint in the army)

Can’t wait for the press conference when whats-her-name says it’s simply irritation from Trump hugging all of his supporters.

Data aggregation is the “easy” part and doesn’t need an LLM. The value of an LLM analyzing telemetry data is the ability to rapidly detect patterns that humans are unable to, correlate likely related events and information, and leverage historical knowledge to suggest potential action.

They keep saying this, but how is Anthropic dictating "how our great military fights and wins wars"? It's a fucking tool. It's not going to stop you from doing anything or dictate how you *must* do it. It sounds as stupid as saying "Excel won't let me attack my enemy with overwhelming force!"

Feeling pretty good about my Claude sub rn, ngl.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

JFC dude. You could have just left this one in Drafts.

I greatly look forward to the Ellisons running all of these properties into the ground and taking Oracle the company along with. I’ll laugh uncontrollably for days when they’re forced to sell off the DBMS business to IBM to cover their losses.

I’m mostly convinced that it’s a misguided belief that if they’re “good colleagues“ and agree to less-than-egregious R nominees, then R senators will do the same under a future D admin. I don’t have any such faith.

I expected them to rule against Trump on this, but I also expected that they were going to say “water under the bridge“ wrt refunds. To not rule either way on the refunds is, uh, pretty shitty and cowardly to say the least.

We’re not looking for a D version of Trump. We‘re looking for a principled D who will ruthlessly apply the rule of law and relentlessly drive accountability down to the last evil member of the current admin. Beshear ain’t it.
