And most, if not all, are better options than a Tesla in the 2024 model year or newer, depending on what matters to you. Tesla has stagnated their development and still hasn’t solved their quality issues from a decade ago, relying instead on NDAs for warranty coverage and empty promises in FSD hype.

Early on I feel like there was a lot of excitement based around how good LLMs were compared to what earlier models did. And for boilerplate stuff, sure, it’s better than an ordinary template. But if you need something written to be *TRUE* not just “well-written”, LLMs literally cannot handle that.

'Hello human, nice to meet you'

It's me, it's me, it's me... 😊

Them: “But But But But SOMETIMES the panels get dirty or shaded and it’s night out half the time! And the panels cost money to make!”

Me: 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Gee whatever happened to “Vote Blue No Matter Who!”???? They sure did enjoy telling everyone that for the past 6 federal elections, and with one mayoral race they’re suddenly more concerned about one of the most popular candidates they’ve ever run winning than the literal rebirth of the N@zis.

The number of times I have thought about my SATs I can count on one hand. It’s 3. Before I took them, while I was taking them, and while I was writing the score down on college apps. I really can’t see any valid reason to discuss them any other time (or a valid reason why we still even take em TBH)

As likely? No. But only because the GOP has explicitly stated they will never ever again support the same things as Lincoln, and the Dems haven’t done the same. Unfortunately, that’s the only difference as yet.

I knew from a very young age that Republicans are fiscally irresponsible. They had been constantly talking about removing PBS funding to “balance the budget” so I looked up how much of the budget that represented. The way they talked you’d think it’d be a double digit percent but no. It’s nearly 0%.

Ah yes, a device which literally only needs a source of electricity, a motor, and a gearbox/controller-board to function properly now requires firmware updates and security patches so Russian hackers can’t use their idle time to farm for bitcoin.

Every single time the two letters E and V appear next to each other in relation to cars, it summons the “BUT SOMETIMES!” Folks and the heretofore unrecognized class of millions upon millions of Americans who need to tow a filled double-long horse trailer 2000 miles six times a day.

Cool. What service does posting this provide?

That’s not just a defeat, that is a *Total Annihilation* and I love to see it.

Ah Yes, to avoid a tariff we should move the *checks notes* Tropical Crop that can only be grown at certain latitudes to be “Made” (note: not grown, made) in America.

My favorite is the companies where they don’t even do any bog-standard scripting and have no one on staff capable of doing so, thinking they can just blindly trust “AI” to do something that they should really be having someone just write a simple script to do.

Legit, and then Google wonders why I use an adblocker on my personal devices. They can’t even put together that my search was for a specific thing and give me ads relevant to it, it’s always either a barrage of ads for the same exact thing or ads that are in no way related to what I’m searching for.

They also keep texting me from the Philippines, so even if they were legit texts, they can try to reach me when they are able to afford a US number lmao

We are finally starting to realize the future people who grew up with computers that took up rooms had dreamed of, and boy is the reality of it way more annoying than they ever predicted. I spend most of my time trying to turn these “super helpful” AI features off forever rather than using them.

Ok, new evil plan, invent Mode time. 🤣

Not even to mention the fact that without agencies charged with telling them what’s an acceptable level of contaminants before action needs to be taken, the only recourse we have is to “Just don’t buy [brand]” which in our monopolistic capitalism system means never buying that thing, period.

They definitely don’t suck and they definitely are useful, however, they are also definitely not reliable to the degree they are being sold as. People are using them as a whole-ass ghostwriter or secondary employee when they should be using them as a more fancy auto-complete.

Yes, except that’s a bad faith argument since the extraction process destroys the conditions which are needed to create the fuel, but you literally cannot stop nuclear decay, if we could we’d never have any nuclear waste to deal with which would be so much cheaper that we’d do it.

If you wanna say that isn’t renewable, well the sun will eventually blow up and we won’t have solar or wind power any more so those aren’t renewable either 🤷🏻‍♂️

I.E. Your fuel source is renewed.

That is the point though. You can use fuels which have a much higher abundance in the crust to generate temporary fissile isotopes of a much shorter half life, breeding more fuel than you have on hand. By the time you run out of these isotopes more will have been created by decay of other ones.

I mean, you don’t need a Uranium reactor to utilize nuclear.

Cool. Now read about the facts and not horror stories.

Ok? And that makes it a bad idea everywhere in all cases? Australia can do what they think is necessary, even if what they’re doing has more environmental impacts than it would if they did something different.

Have you ever seen what it takes to decom a modern reactor?
