> the European version (IVECO) of the Nikola truck on a daily basis across Europe

That's a wildly misleading way of wording that.

Iveco make trucks and vans and buses. Nikola bought some of them and rebadged them and tried to pass them off as their own revolutionary prototypes. There's a YouTuber driving the real thing, which is entirely unrelated to Nikola in any way.
There should probably be a way to play this that doesn't rely on assuming the gender of someone you see in public.

The Schwarzschild radius is 2 G M / c^2. When we assume the cutoff mass of 1.4e14 kg, then the Schwarzschild radius would be 103.966e-15 m ≈ 104 femtometers. A hydrogen atom has a radius of ~ 53e-12 m.
When the national elections are still two party local, and the two big parties have any interest in the local election, those two parties will win local as well because they have some much more mind share. Many people decide who to vote for in the national election and then vote the same party all down the ballot without knowing what any of the other players stand for, thus giving the major parties a big advantage when one of those down ballot races is a different system. If you are not the big party in those other systems you still have a harder time because people don't understand how the local system is different.

I don't work in prompt engineering but my partner does and she tells me numerous need for agents in cases where you want some technology which goes and seeks things on the live web and then comes back and you want to make sense of that found data with the LLM and pre-written prompts where you use that data as variables, and then possibly go back into the web if the task remains unsolved.

"focuses on the soul of pure functional programming which makes it more cool"

This is tangential to this post's main point but if you're trying for mass adoption this can go badly. Case in point, a hardware company I backed decided to write their code using Haskel like why "because it's cool" and now the people who are trying to modify/work with it have to deal with Haskell vs. a general purpose language like C++ idk...

edit: I also realize most of this code is python but yeah

There are already tolls for people who live outside of New York and commute in: the Holland Tunnel, the Lincoln Tunnel, the George Washington Bridge, the Bayonne Bridge… This congestion pricing is more for people who live in other parts of New York (like the Upper West Side, or Queens) to commute to the most congested part of New York.

By your logic, the administration should have made Lincoln Tunnel and Holland Tunnel free.
The same strategy is used to attribute attacks against US based targets by Russian, N.Korean and Iranian and other state or state sponsored actors. Time of day, holidays, etc. are (in tandem with other evidence) considered to be surprisingly reliable.

If I were in charge of things I'd like to think that this sort of thing would be the first step I'd take to cover my tracks, but I still hear cyber security firms using it in their attributions.

Only if one ignores the evidence that shows a point to be "objective".

Again, it's industry consensus that W7 is the best version of Windows. That, at least, is indisputably objective.
The word "physiognomy" comes to mind.

There may be some good reasons for this heuristic - there are some aspects of attractiveness that are completely out of peoples' control; however, in the general case, a lot of a persons's physical attractiveness comes down to choices that the person makes. For example, if you can't control your self in how much sugar or alcohol you consume, you will become less physically attractive. Often, if you are making unhealthy choices, your body will complain. And if your mind is unwilling to sacrifice personal pleasure for the good of your own body, that might be a good sign that you will be unwilling to sacrifice personal pleasure for the sake of other people.

This is a relic from the olden times were application data was rarely exchanged across locales, and people expected software to conform to the local conventions (and they largely still expect it). Microsoft never changed this because it would have broken (and would still break) a vast number of systems and workflows.

> I don't believe that hosting in the EU means you need to treat non-EU jurisdictions with EU law.

Let's say to that I want to develop something that uses an "evil" AI and I only want to sell to countries outside of the EU, I just can't do that because during development I would be suffocated by unhelpful regulations while someone in the US doing the same would be not.

> Most software businesses operate internationally, so the EU regulation is something you'll have to deal with no matter where you host, assuming you sell into the EU.

Having my whole business being at risk is not the same thing as only having a significant market being at risk.

> where you are headquartered as a business is up to you, and there are many choices.

Yes and the problem I was pointing out is that I would unlikely to pick an EU country because broken legislation that would hinder me is not something I want to deal with.

The EU problem is that legislation that is not around manufacturing is very knee-jerky, I don't feel like it would be a safe place for my potential software business, because legislation seems to be driven by headlines rather than rationality and the people making the legislations don't look too competent based on the end results.

Friend of mine bought an old rotary phone recently, and he spent some time playing with Asterisk to make it so that you could dial different numbers and get things to play. For example, he had it so you could dial "666" and it would play "Antichrist Superstar", and "Jenny" if you dialed "8675309".

I think his goal was to build a toy for his kids in the process. Or maybe just a toy for himself.
I see a link to a forum where an anonymous participant says

“Since a recent version of Signal data of all Signal users is uploaded to Signal’s servers. This includes your profile name and photo, and a list of all your Signal-contacts.”

They then link to a Signal blog (2019) explaining technical measures they were testing to provide verifiably tamperproof remote storage.

https://signal.org/blog/secure-value-recovery/

I’m not equipped to assess the cryptographic integrity of their claims, but 1) it sounds like you’re saying that they deployed this technology at scale, and 2) do you have a basis to suggest it’s “not-very-secure or likely backdoored,” in response to their apparently thoughtful and transparent engineering to ensure otherwise?
There is some queasy feeling of fake-ness when auto-completing so much code. It feels like you're doing something wrong. But these are all based on my experience coding for half my life. AI-native devs will probably feel differently.
A regressive tax like this should have no place in the Democratic agenda. Across the state, 47% of people oppose the congestion tax, while only 27% support it. Meanwhile, Manhattanites—the wealthiest group—are the most in favor, with 57% supporting it and just 32% opposed.

Unbelievable that Trump managed to steal this issue…

If the answer is obvious, why does the AI not commit to the obvious answer? People should know what to expect from it. If it cannot do this, it will definitely not answer non-obvious questions either.

Why not answer earnestly? I genuinely don't understand what bothers you about the question or the fact that the AI doesn't reproduce the obvious answer...

This is a completely new product, in a category that never existed and no one was desperately demanding. It was bought with the disposable income of wealthy people who enjoy trying new technology and knew exactly the risk they were taking. Are you seriously going to dispute that?

Where do the funds to make transit good enough come from?

Hint: one funding source was cancelled today by the current administration.
Charging for access to roads funded by our tax dollars should not be permitted. While it is reasonable for a privately built and owned bridge to have a toll, roads constructed with federal funds, such as those in Manhattan, should be accessible to everyone without additional charges. Allowing cities to impose fees on roads we've already paid for could lead to other areas, like small communities along highways, implementing similar tolls. For instance, a community in Chicago attempted to limit access to a public road during certain hours to residents only, but to do so, they had to finance the road entirely on their own, which they did.

There is a community in Chicago where they tried to restrict access to a public road during certain hours except certain residents and to do that they had to pay for the road in it’s entirety, which they did.

We rely on linters to catch that, which is pretty easy to implement (no expensive intra-procedural analysis needed, which is the case with exceptions).

Panics, unlike errors, are exceptional situations which generally should not be caught (a programming error, like index out of range). They're usually much rarer than errors.

Why should they? It's not obvious at all that smoking causes higher costs; a smoker who gets lung cancer is a smoker who never needs the medical care we give to the elderly.

Trump Team Plans Mass Firings at Key Agency for AI and Chips
Wow thanks man for sharing! This is so unexpected, I thought you're trolling! But google search doesn't lie: https://www.history.com/news/national-state-of-emergency-us-....

Quoting from History.com: "When Donald Trump started his second term on January 20, 2025, the United States had around 40 active emergency declarations (no really, we are serious), including the national emergency George W. Bush declared in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks".
Thanks for your website, discovered great bands with it.
Correct, so how does your post road logic apply when the toll is for entering roads constructed by and maintained by the state?

Since we're doing the van halen "right now your government is doing things you think only happen in other countries" thing, here's one about a 15 year old who was so mentally disabled "“He was unable to even tie his shoelaces and his mother would have to do it for him", but that didn't stop him from being groomed by FBI agents to say things that count as conspiracy to commit terrorism. They recorded everything that he said without regard to the fact that he had “the mentality of a 6-year-old”, then waited until he turned 18 to arrest him so they could charge him as an adult and put him away for life.

> I grow so tired of people simping for hydrogen when batteries just win in every metric aside from the initial build cost, which when amortized over the life of the battery, will beat out hydrogen

Batteries suck in energy density and weight and in some cases, that really matters. Battery electric planes are not even close to being feasible other than for very small in size and range planes. Hydrogen is at least feasible.
There is so much evidence that he is actually, intentionally, emulating Hitler though. He quotes Hitler "poisoning the blood of the country", kept Hitler's speeches by his bedside, was reported by his cabinet to have admired Hitler.
Back in the old days authors didn't know how anything worked and there was no Internet to look things up and no budget to do research so they were forced to make a lot of the stuff up on the spot. In retrospect a lot of those choices were weird and often blatantly unscientific, but they worked in context.

I sometimes wonder what He-Man would have been like if they had spent more than 5 seconds coming up with character names and concepts. The whole universe feels like a rough draft/outline where someone went "we're out of budget, this goes into production as is."
> By your logic, the administration should have made Lincoln Tunnel and Holland Tunnel free.

That is correct, they should do that, and eliminate all other tolls on interstate roads.
Why is it on top of Vercel’s platform?
The streets of Manhattan are not “the rest of the US’s” streets to decide what to do with. The people voted for lower congestion, this is what the people that live there want. Correct, the exact idea is to put tolls on people who do not pay for or live on our streets.
Remember we are still in the first 100 days. Congress typically falls in line for the first few months (not always 100 days, but it is a good round number). As the term goes on though congress tends to start looking to the next election and they start to opposed unpopular things because they will lose in 2 years. Trump is risking a democrat super majority in the house in 2 years if he is too unpopular, and 20 republicans are up for election in the senate, if even half of them turn that would be a majority for the democrats and a shot that the other republican senators (who want to win election in 2-4 more years) will pay attention to.

But we need to get through the first few months before any of this will play out. And after that there is still a long time before the 2026 elections.
