Try out serverpod. Not affiliated with them- it's just a super nice integrated Dart backend: https://serverpod.dev/

I do wonder about the economics of CCS vs. investing more aggressively in wind and solar. This is a big deal here in Alberta where the Oil companies are complaining about footing the bill for CCS. If instead of spending a few billion on CCS

I'm not so sure. It seems those with capital will accumulate it even faster. Without some kind of income redistribution we are sailing into dark waters.

To be fair, that's a one time process. You do not need to do that for every app you want to sideload. The malware issue that the flow is designed to mitigate is a very real problem. Perhaps there is a better way, but it's not imme

That seems disingenuous. Crypto made ransomware much easier.

by wstrange 5mo ago
Insurance money doesn't grow on trees. The economy is highly connected, so increased costs impact most consumers. Ransomware is a scourge enabled by crypto. We should do whatever we can to eliminate it.

A bunch of people here are conflating low stakes amateur sports with elite sports. Mixed league works fine for your company softball team. Not so much for professional sports.

by wstrange 6mo ago
If we are talking about amateur sports where the stakes are low, the concept of slotting athletes into divisions makes sense. In elite sports, no one wants to see "best in division X". They want to see the best hockey players, the

UBI will require a more progressive tax system. The Oligarchs are having none of that.

Clearly they have not reached parity, as evidenced by the crash rate of Tesla. It's far from clear that the current HW4 + sensor suite will ever be sufficient for L4.

by wstrange 10mo ago
I have HW4, and have tried FSD with every major release. It works brilliantly, 99.5% of the time. The issue is that the failure mode is catastrophic. Like getting confused with the lane marking and driving off the shoulder. And the complete

For the back seats you can order webbing strips from Temu for five bucks. They are easy to spot (bright yellow). I point them out to any passengers in the back seat. If you have kids that are likely to pull them ... different story.

Reading the comments on that Fox site is depressing. A lot of hate for Apple, but for the wrong reasons (as in, completely missing the danger of centralized app stores..).

Well, you have Larry Ellison and Elon doing their best to corner social media - so I think the right wing has it's bases covered.

Or a more likely scenario is that Apple picks up even more market share, and we go from a duopoly to a monopoly.

This is what Tesla should have built instead of the Cybertruck. With their distribution and service centers, this would sell like hot cakes.

It should be obvious that the thing doing the interpretation and navigation is a human, not an automated system.

> Clients can be almost automatic with a HATEOS implementation, because it is a self describing protocol. That was the theory, but it was never true in practice. The oft comparisons to the browser really missed the mark. The browser was

Looking at the demo I can see project managers going wild with this. And not in a good way.

It all went to shit when they removed the floppy drive.

Consider me skeptical. A mainframe has to be the least cost effective "crypto-style" math machine you could imagine.

Tesla's insane valuation based on future hypothetical robots is hard to justify given announcements like these. It seems unlikely that any company (Google included) will have a robotics moat.

BlueSky. Less algorithmic boosting and it allows you to curate your feed. It's VC funded - so it remains to be seen how it evolves

Bio-Fuel seems more practical. It reuses all the existing infrastructure and requires no engine modifications.
