  • Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis

    Jump

  • Cuz other self driving cars use LIDAR so it's basically impossible for them to not realise that a bike is there.

  • Why dating is hard

  • Countries which are simultaneously highly developed and not incentivizing child birth have low birth rates.

    That is literally the entirety of the developed world. China as well is/will be now experiencing a rapid population decline as its birth rate drops drastically. The only developed countries with anything close to a sustainable population growth are those that have a lot of immigration, but that isn't a viable fix forever (at some point the countries that are sources of immigrants will become developed themselves and have the same problems), and typically only first generation immigrants have more children than natives.

  • Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • I mean honestly, feature wise, it's pretty good in my opinion. It has some very useful features Signal lacks (e.g. live location sharing) and it's not slow or badly designed in my opinion.

    I still prefer Signal since I don't like Facebook, but realistically speaking WhatsApp is pretty good.

  • Yeah but I think the UWP version was the only version that didn't have the stupid bug where your handwritten notes would move around randomly after you exited the notebook sometimes. Idk if they fixed that but last time I checked it was a very old bug known to exist in the other version and only work in that version.

  • Wait, the basic version has a compas and barometer without a heart rate monitor, but the more expensive one has a heart rate monitor and no barometer or compass? Why?

  • White House says it will not return the Statue of Liberty to France

    Jump

  • I agree with you that most probably without the US the Allies would have lost the war, but to the press secretary's point about how they would be speaking German right now if it were not for them, I highly doubt that Germany could have held control over the entirety of Europe after the war. They would most probably collapse from revolutions/rebelions, but who knows what would have happened.

  • Tesla sales crash continues in Europe, with Germany down 70%

    Jump

  • There's no point in blocking everything. I'm interested in what's happening with Trump and the US, with Tesla, the occasional Linux news, but when my feed is 90% "Why Linux is actually good", "Musk/Trump bad", "Tesla shares in EU down again" for the fifth time, it gets annoying. Blocking stuff is too crude a tool.

  • GitHub - LadybirdBrowser/ladybird: Truly independent web browser

    Jump

  • It still has some of the same problems as the comic, though not to the same extent, it doesn't need to be a standard for the comic to make sense, it's also about market share. Having yet another browser has the potential of diluting the market and making people just go for the default.

  • AI chatbots unable to accurately summarise news, BBC finds

    Jump

  • This is my personal take. As long as you're careful and thoughtful whenever using them, they can be extremely useful.

  • The life of a musician

    Jump

  • Nowadays most programmers don't need to care about working with bits directly. And in general, it's much better if the system is aligned with literally every other measurement unit in meaning. I also think it's oftentimes deceiving exactly because it's so close to 1000 that you just behave like it is, untill it actually starts making a difference at larger scales.

    I think that for most people in 99% of usecases it would be better for MB to actually mean mega, and for the 1% you can clarify with MiB that it's 1024.

  • You absolutely can build 1000MB storage, literally almost all SSDs to my knowledge use SI units for storage (meaning 1TB = 1000GB). E.g. here, first link I found https://www.crucial.com/ssd/t705/CT2000T705SSD5

    under footnote 6. 1 GB = 1 billion bytes

  • Trump gutted key aviation safety committee before D.C. plane crash

    Jump

  • I mean it is poetic that it happened immediately after he did that, and it's definitely a stupid decision, but this almost certainly didn't have anything to do with that decision. That's an action whose consequences won't start to materialize till much later on.

  • GOP women’s group publishes kids’ book list calling Hitler an “intelligent” leader

    Jump

  • Me reading the title: oh it's probably out of context, looking at it objectively he definitely wasn't stupid if he knew how to manipulate people that well, he was just evil

    Me reading the text: ok it really is that bad

  • Nvidia falls 14% in premarket trading as China's DeepSeek triggers global tech sell-off

    Jump

  • Look at it in another way, people think this is the start of an actual AI revolution, as in full blown AGI or close to it or something very capable at least. Personally I don't think we're anywhere near something like that with the current technology, I think it's a dead end, but if there's even a small possibility of it being true, you want to invest early because the returns will be insane if it pans out. Full blown AGI would revolutionize everything, it would probably be the next industrial revolution after the internet.

  • Trump Just Made Bribing Politicians Legal Again

    Jump

  • Why do you think it's horrible? All of those are basically just bribes with extra steps.

  • The U.S. just pledged hundreds of billions to protect its AI leadership. A Chinese startup with a ‘joke of a budget‘ may have already undercut those hopes

    Jump

  • I mean, they are right. Asside the question of whether we can even make meaningfully better models by just using LLMs and more data and what the future of AI will look like, and whether it's ethical or not to steal the data, it is quite possible that OpenAI and the like will get into legal trouble because of the methods they use for acquiring data, but Chinese companies won't have to worry about that. If more data = better models then China has an obvious advantage.

  • ... would YOU download a plant?

    Jump

  • I mean, in their defense, the only reason you can pick them up is because they're selling them. It's not free for them to keep the plants and staff there. If you can find the leaves somewhere else then that's fine, but if you can't find that plant anywhere but the store then you're effectively using a service they're offering without paying.

    Sure it's not worth the full price of the plant, but it's worth something.

  • After the new Kurzgesagt video about black holes...

    Jump

  • I mean physics is insane in general. XKCD had a video the other day that mentioned that if you had enough light/a strong enough laser, space itself stops being transparent because matter suddenly starts materialising out of nothing and blocks the light.
