I wonder if in the (near) future cars will need custom procedures to handle geographic specific scenarios. For example the kid school drop off. Each line is a little different. When there are a high percentage of AVs on the road, you couldn't just rely on the example of others. Perhaps this could be handled by markers on the road.

The Artemis launch really outed the average IQ level of this platform.

People are super worried about getting laid off due to AI. As if suddenly speed became less of an advantage. Smart companies will just do more faster. Companies with poor/deteriorating results are laying off.

Calling the Maxim test rig an airplane is like calling a wind tunnel an airplane. It was an important demonstration, but it wasn't just uncontrolled. It was literally a test rig to demonstrate lift capabilities. Important progress, yes but doesn't really fit the definition of an airplane.

@BowesChay It’s more of a hazard practically as no cooperation means no guarantee of separation from other traffic. IDK what else would happen. Maybe defense systems go off? I doubt Europe has the guts to do that.

As US military Aircraft are forced to "fly around" European airspace to Iran- What would those European countries (and NATO Allies") do exactly, if the Americans just flew over them anyway? Think about it.

@pmarca Exactly. Speed has been an advantageous up until AI?!? No. It’s still an advantage!

This may be a dumb question but I’ll ask it here anyways: I can’t find a good way for my various AI chats to automatically sync its conversation history into a structured knowledge base. So that as I update various chats from time to time and refine context, my knowledge base automatically grows with this new info.

NOMADS UNITE! That's the theme of Linda's review of "FREEDOM: The Case For Open Borders". And why not? Humans have been struck by wanderlust - moving from place to place - for tens of thousands of years. It's natural. It's human. Read Linda's review: amazon.com/gp/customer-re…

To be fair, Hiram Maxim achieved the first powered flight a decade before the Wright bothers, with a huge airplane that lifted three occupants off the ground. The Wrights, very importantly, demonstrated controlled powered flight, which made the airplane practical.

The story behind the New York Times’ 1903 claim that human flight was between one and ten million years away is even worse than it looks. Once you understand the backstory, you realize that the New York Times story is not really about flight at all but about how elites and credentialed “experts” mistake their own failures for the boundaries of possibility. The New York Times did not dismiss the possibility of powered flight at random. There was a very specific reason behind it. At the time, America’s most prominent scientific authority, Smithsonian Secretary Samuel Langley, had been showered with large amounts of taxpayer funding to build an aircraft, the Langley Aerodrome. Despite all the money, institutional backing, and elite prestige, Langley and his team could not get it to fly, culminating in a series of very public failures, the last on December 8, 1903. So when the New York Times declared that flight was millions of years away, what it was really saying was that if the most credentialed and well-funded “experts” cannot do it, then it cannot be done. A mere nine days later, the elites’ proclamation of impossibility lay in ruins. Two totally unknown bicycle mechanics from Ohio achieved the first powered flight using improvised parts, a few hundred dollars of their own money, and sheer persistence. The story of flight is, at its core, a story of the triumph of American individualism over elite credentialism. The fact that it was the New York Times that inadvertently delivered the proof is the most fitting conclusion imaginable.

Almost everything you think you know about the history of technology and capitalism was warped by communist/luddite propaganda of the era. That's happening this time too.

@nichpic @QutaKoo_01 @pmarca It’s literally just shy of $2T per year in socialism to individuals. The top two budget items for the us are Social Security and Medicare. Look it up. Corporate subsidies/ bailouts aren’t even 10% of that on average.

@nichpic @QutaKoo_01 @pmarca To be clear we have far more socialism directed towards individuals than corporations. There are certainly subsidies for corporations as well. I disagree with both.

I didn’t say it was. We are still a capitalist country. That said, there are communists in US. Many people who speak like you do (perhaps even you) want communism to replace our current system. I find this a failure of imagination on their part. Failure to imagine how much worse things can get, and a general taking for granted the prosperity we do have.

That leaves out the most important part. In order to attain forgiveness you must genuinely repent of past sin and strive to improve yourself. Everyone struggles and makes mistakes. You can not attain forgiveness if you use it to excuse your malicious actions for which you harbor no regret. On the other hand any sin can be forgiven no matter how bad if you genuinely repent and turn from your wicked ways. It’s not a free pass to commit more sins but it is a path anyone who genuinely wants to change can take to attain forgiveness.

You’d think this headline was satire. But it isn’t. I was sexually abused from the age of 5. The mass rape of little girls like me is NOT a “price worth paying”. We are not lambs to be sacrificed at the altar of migration. We are not sex slaves to be traded for political gain. This is pure evil. I was sexually abused from age 5. I still feel their hands on my skin. I still have nightmares. I still get scared sometimes walking around my hometown. Girls like me were traded for votes. Called slags, sluts, or troublemakers. Told that we were asking for it. And now, we are being told that the abuse we suffer is merely a “price worth paying” to allow hordes of violent rapists into the country to abuse MORE little girls like us. In towns like Rotherham, Rochdale, and Telford, little girls are being passed around like meat by gangs of Pakistani-Muslim men in taxis and takeaways while Labour councils, police and social workers turn a blind eye. Across the country, little girls are being kidnapped, molested, tortured, beaten, sodomised, assaulted, and killed by violent migrant men. These men come from countries that see women as subhuman. Where they can marry a 6 year old girl or take a Christian woman as a sex slave. Where they can flog and beat women for daring to show their face or hair in public. Where they can deny girls a basic education and use them as little more than broodmares. Where they can rape a little girl then invoke Sharia Law to force her to marry them. Then, they hop on a plane to England and try to replicate that evil culture on our shores. And those in power are allowing it. All to protect “community relations”. Saying “quasi-consensual” assaults on white women are just the cost of assimilation? That it’s beautiful? That it ends racism? That it leads to genuine relationships and marriage? They are literally describing Stockholm Syndrome. These cretins are seriously suggesting that women and girls are supposed to be raped by migrant men, then fall in love and build a ‘diverse’ home from a bedrock of abuse. What a disgusting proposal. The girls in Rotherham, Telford, Oldham, Rochdale et al were not “acceptable losses”. Our daughters are not sacrifices for your utopia. These people are evil. They want to import more of the same men who destroyed us, then call it progress. And offer women and girls up as sacrifices for the “greater good”. Absolutely not. Every single person who contributed to this article belongs in prison. Deport the rapists. Close the borders. Put our kids first.

The Left is crying about Trump losing equipment saving an American… Here is a video of the Taliban having a military parade with BILLIONS in US military equipment left behind from Biden’s horrific Afghanistan withdraw. They didn’t care.
