Spinz posted:I'm a logical person. Always been an atheist, realize we are just the most evolved apes Human society is coming to a conflux - climate change, information age, late stage capitalism, whatever you want to call it. Things are going to get dumber and weirder until the old social order falls away and something else replaces it; it happens every hundred years or so. There was some impossibly stupid and funny poo poo going on in the very late 1800s / early 1900s, which eventually culminated in world war and the overthrow of colonialism*. Is capitalism the next to collapse? who knows *yes colonialism still exists, just like chattel slavery still exists in some forms. However society has changed and no longer thinks either things are cool & good. EDIT to provide content - what do you think  first tweet will be? I really hope its something about haters and clout chasers punching the air in frustration now that Big Dadddy Twitter is back

Ole Leon was at Paypal during the OG dot-com days right? Thats the last time I remember seeing offices with beds strung up like this. I'm sure its how he thinks 'poo poo gets done' but there's a evolutionary reason that entire model went out the window. Btw words cant describe the smell of a buncha nerds working, sleeping, and eating takeout in the same space. Regular HVAC can't turn the air over fast enough.

Lord Decimus Barnacle posted:All consumer passenger vehicles sold in the United States have required airbags since like 1998 or 1999. The only trucks that don’t require airbags are certain medium duty and heavy duty trucks (real heavy duty not the marketing from ford//Chevy/ram). Which is also why you can drive them with a Class C license. When they get into the 14klb range, IIRC air brakes start to be mandated, and anything with air brakes requires a special license (or an endorsement AFAIK) If ole Leon was going to make the cybertruck weigh 15000 lbs to get around safety regulations just also I cannot imagine the sorta fires the batteries on a 15000lb truck would start

Ciao Wren posted:The standard argument against fat shaming people in power is that they will never hear you but your fat friends will. That's a fair position to take but in Elon's case he will 100% be exposed to it provided you post it online. And your fat friends will see worse poo poo online so your offense won't register. I'd say its 50/50 that Leon has seen this actual threadedit ps Leon you got moobs, even Kevin Smith lost weight!!!

 Honestly I've felt like Leon literally bought Twitter to see Grimes DMs, so this seems like very circumstantial confirmation to me Was anyone worried about Leon reading their DMs before he tweeted that?

if you were in the back seat and mobility impaired, you would've suffered a very gruesome death.  (IIRC thats the model without an actual mechanical back door handle?)tbh I rode in a Tesla for the very first time in an Uber, and I don't get why people think they're luxurious. Its an uber so ofc it gets beat up, but the whole thing had this faux-luxury/cheapness to it. Like they put cement weights in the doors to make it feel more solid.

Random Stranger posted:Is Twitter going to pull out of its current death spiral? I know we're all cheering for it to crater in the most spectacular way, but the way failures usually go is things deflate slowly. Basically, can they stabilize things back at just "lovely", or is this the finale we've all been waiting for? No. Twitter will continue to circle the drain while Lemon tries to value engineer his way out of this (he can't). Eventually there's going to be some big social  thing that people miss because Twitter loving sucks, and then whatever-comes-next will utterly incinerate them <6 months.

I'd defer to actual experts in AI, but the way the cybertruck wheels spun there it would seem that both differentials are open/unlocked, despite having 2 or 3 motors? It seems like they're using the brakes to modulate wheel spin as a faux-limited slip differential, (which Toyota does p. well) but tesla EDIT watched it again a few times, the air suspension is a piece of poo poo. its set to max height and that seems to gently caress up the articulation. The wheels have no upward travel and only like 4" of downward travel. A Prius would go up that hill better double edit i think the dudes driving were messing with the air suspension at the start, and i think it messed up the traction control somehow.

Which is kind of crazy to be honest, and indeed young people and very old people account for way, way more than their share of accidents and fatal accidents. You can get your license at 14 in some US states, (Even California with a hardship permit!) and most states you can get a farmer's permit at 13 ( you can also drive heavy machinery with it!)EDIT California explicitly changed this, but you could operate a powerboat legally at 12

gasoline-burning ICE won't be meaningfully banned in North America in our lifetimes, if ever. They'll build fusion reactors to distill gas from sea water. its far more likely that cars will be banned in major metro areas & various parts of the US will kludge together something like the meld between NJ Transit and the NYC Subway - lovely electric rails from tiny stations with huge parking lots that feed into main transfer stations. Rural and suburbs will still drive for most stuff, but they'll take the train into the city instead of commuting, and bitch about how its longer i.e. exactly the same amount of time, without risking your life. BEVs aren't really a solution for the US at large until there's a miracle in battery tech.

The ISS has the living volume of ~3 average American homes. IIRC it usually crews 6-7 with the max onboard being 14. It's resupplied every 45 days or so, although it supposedly keeps supplies on hand for up to six months of crew,  what qualifies as 'crew' and 'up to six months'. Most notably the ISS is also a big-rear end kludge with a lovely design thats focused around research stations.A space hotel designed specifically around rich people being able to look outside, that was resupplied weekly, could comfortably hold 20 billionaires and 5 crew for seven day stretches. A Falcon9 launch costs 63 million now? Would 20

IIRC Tesla/Musk change parts during production all the time, so there's a good chance that the self-driving software has to work with some lovely camera interface software to manage the very slightly differences between 3+ camera models. So yeah maybe that stuff works in the lab, because they keep rewriting the code for that specific unit, but if you're Tesla is too old (or too new) than its SOL and wants to murder children.
