It's bit reductive to put it in terms of a binary choice between an average human driver and full AI driver. I'd argue it has to hit less pedestrians than a human driver with the full suite of driver assists currently available to be viable.

Self-driving is purely a convenience factor for personal vehicles and purely an economic factor for taxis and other commercial use. If a human driver assisted by all of the sensing and AI tools available is the safest option, that should be the de facto standard.

‘big tech rigged the election’

Isn’t Vance fully in bed with Musk, Thiel, Andreessen, and a cavalcade of similarly minded fash-brained techbros?

That's the G and the P in GOP. They are literally trying to rig the election with the help of a bunch of billionaire tech bros, but it's totally okay because "Democrats did it first"

And since the last election was over 1,000 news cycles ago, nobody will question whether that's actually what happened.

Better a damaged roof still attached to the house than a roof strewn a mile and a half downwind.

I had to google what "387th Penny" meant. Apparently "penny" is short for "penetration flight". So this was his 387th flight into a hurricane

Unless I'm thinking of something else, I'm pretty sure I had a tank tread "robot" set with a module that you could program really commands into, and then have them execute them in series.

Go forward, turn right move backward twice, make a bunch of funny sounds and blink some lights, etc.

That set was cool as shit.

If you are buying used datacenter drives, larger capacity drives are also likely to be newer, which tips the scales a little more in that direction.

And perhaps moreso when it comes to a musical instrument, what out senses perceive is more important than what one may note on an o-scope.

I watched the OG Jurassic Park the other weekend, and realized I haven't thought about a triceratops in probably a decade at least.

Just got this email notification and was about to post it myself!

I was expecting it to be a clickbaity joke, but nope it's just another case of big companies doing asshole big company stuff because it's cheaper than doing the right thing. And, surprise surprise, facilitated by at least one local politician who profited off the assholery. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/spacex-texas-musk/

I mean, being strictly pedantic, the sperm has to come from somewhere. So I guess it depends on whether you consider an orgasm in a strange room with a small rack of nudie mags to be "sexual gratification".

Nostalgia hit, right in the gut!

Seconding Plex / Plexamp if the use case involves streaming remotely. Probably the easiest to get up and running for remote access.

I'm not sure about the capabilities of hosting on a Pi, but it should be straightforward to run a couple different apps in parallel to test and compare features (I'm currently doing exactly that with Plex and Jellyfin)
