You're confusing the hyperloop and the boring tunnel thing. the hyperloop is the fast capsules in a vacuum tube, that is better than high speed rail because, uh, reasons. I don't think elon ever tried to build a hyperloop, he just put the "idea" out there and then a few startups of gullible idiots tried to make it work. The boring company thing is teslas self driving (lol) through tunnels, that's better than the subway because poors can't use it.

You're not wrong that they both loving suck, I just want to point out that elon musk has two different projects where he invented mass transit, but worse in every possible way.

The tunnel was originally pitched as something closer to the Hyperloop, as a proof of concept. But bc Elon didn't care to execute what he promised, and Boring Company didn't actually know how to do it, over time they made more concessions to reality and it became the stupid theme park ride it is.

It was one stupid transit idea that became two out of laziness and mismanagement.

1000 years after elons death, which will be 975 years after everyone forgot him and his death, archaeologists are going to uncover the tunnels and assume it was some kind of weird ritual thing because they would assume no civilization is dumb enough to make it

I'm sorry, but that's the Vallavik Tunnel on Rv7, and not Lærdal tunnel which is on E16. People sometimes mix up these two as they are both east-west connecting tunnels in Norway with blue lights inside. But they are on different routes, and Lærdal tunnel doesn't have any roundabouts inside, which the Vallavik does.

Here is a picture of Lærdal tunnel:

MY LIFE FOR YOU!
Has anyone else been having an issue with Twitter sending push notifications to their phone about tweets made by right wing assholes that you do not follow? First it was Tate, and now I keep getting push notifications for that Matt Wallace oval office. And when I block the person, it just moves onto the next one.

Also keep getting them for Elon Musk tweets.

It isn't even for a twitter account that a use anymore.

Well...no poo poo. But if we don't do something in the short term then it's a bigger problem in the long term isn't it. What a completely meaningless statement.

I guess I should be happy that at least he knows it's an issue overall, but it's musk so I won't give him the benefit of the doubt as he's a loving moron. Probably just a reason to sell more cars or "escape to mars" or some poo poo.

You should be able to disable push notifications for suggestions and promotions but if Twitter is anything like FB or ig they will just randomly "forget" and reset your settings

Are you saying that twitter is like buzzing your phone with any old garbage, and you havent disallowed notifications?

jeezus I swear in the smart phone age push notifications gotta be among the most cancerous things in existence, its like having a videogame tutorial character for every app, able to push its head into your existence and say whatever the gently caress whenever the gently caress it wants

Yeah, there's an option to disable notifications for people you don't follow. So far, it seems to be working and remembering the setting.

So now that he's claimed to want his own AI startup - it's been at least a couple of months since he talked about it, so have the remaining hardcore coders done a "complete rewrite of the brittle code stack" at T(w)itter ? Or is that one more project that's been thrown in the back of a cybertruck and forgotten.

He's got one already, what the gently caress do you think his lovely robots will be operating on.
By 'AI Startup' he doesn't mean an actual Cyberdyne or Boston Robotics company.
He means some website chat AI that people can interact with so he can get more attention and shower him with praise that it got 'Hitler was correct all along' opinions.

It's all bait and switch, plate juggling, distractions to hide how much he isn't advancing mankind.
He may set up a new company to reap in all the tax deductions and subsidies he can get from stupid states or countries.
And he loves doing demos on stage with crappy faked effects, so prepare for him to be doing 2013 memes next year to a powerpoint presentation he pretends is the AI.

If you are going to use OOM please also use Scientific notation for these large numbers as it directly shows this.
