in a vacuum i would agree with his take but the entire thing is inextricably linked to theft and massive copyright infringement. until the matter is settled in court there’s no way to know if using these things professionally is even legal. it’s a potential poison pill for the kernel and the fact that he’s not acknowledging that is insane to me.

i have no opinion.

do people not see the url? the tagline? the smug clippy?

sir this is a blog post

yeah no fuck you

you don’t have to do all of them

sundar pichai i think

oh there’s broad support for this shit.

now do music teachers

five dollar salmon? must be pacific…

i think the former but the latter would probably make more sense.

looks more like two on each hand

the citroen deja vu looks amazing. shame about the range, it would barely get me to work and back in summer.

i just want to see the hands of the person who designed that steering wheel

i once took over a consultancy gig at a high-tech optical lab. when me and the guy i was replacing were leaving on the last day of the handover i asked just conversationally where he was going next, and he told me he was going back to school to be a painter. guy was in his mid-50s.

a pizza party is hella cheaper than a raise, but it’s paradoxically also much worse for morale to cancel a pizza party than to not give a raise.

it’s in context of the first comment i made, which is at the top of this particular chain of replies. but i’ll reiterate: the idea of autonomous bogies is fundamentally tone-deaf to how rail works, it solves no problem and creates lots of new ones. they are not useful in rail yards since they can not be used as shunters nor in any way help to build cossists, they are not useful for last-mile because the sidings don’t exist and they’re not useful for the first 99 miles because their range is abysmal.

also they can only take containers, require new infrastructure for charging, and take up slots that could be used by full trains.

oh you just reminded me of the a$ap rocky assault case from 2019 during trump I, wherein he personally called up the then-minister for state of sweden and threatened sanctions if the guy wasn’t released while at the same time offering to post bail. the minister had to explain to him that not only does sweden, like most democracies, not have a bail system, it is explicitly illegal for statesmen to attempt to influence the courts.

no, i was mostly talking cpus.

okay but we’re talking about the autonomous bogeys here, which addresses none of the issues brought up. that’s why i said that. also, i don’t think anyone believes psr solves any problem whatsoever…
