  • US judge upholds $243 million verdict against Tesla over fatal Autopilot crash

    Jump

  • You can appeal - but appeals are rarely agreed to. An appeal isn't about the facts in most cases - it is about was the law correctly applied and if so is the law constitutional.

  • [QUESTION] nonstick cookware?

  • The cheapest you can find. Use it only for eggs and replace it every few years. That seems to be what works best

  • That is a question I'n trying to answer. Until I know what ai can do I can't have a valid opinion.

  • That can help - but ai reviews still miss a lot of bad code. Still a first pass - if the ai finds something it is rarely wrong - so fix things the ai finds before you bother others, or justify why the ai is wrong. But if all you do is an ai review of ai code you get garbage

  • I'm writing code because it is often faster than explaining to the ai how to do it. I'm spending this month seeing what ai can do - it ranges from saving me a lot of tedious effort to making a large mess to clean up

  • I've been writting a lot of code with ai - for every half hour the ai needs to write the code I need a full week to revise it into good code. If you don't do that hard work the ai is going to overwhelm the reviewers with garbage

  • Can you touch type?

    Jump

  • I took typing in school several times using QWERTY. I learned the IBM typewriters were really nice to type on, and what the "correct" way to type was. It didn't make any difference though at the time because typing speed was never the limit, it was thinking speed. Then in college I got into IRC and most things didn't need deep thinking and so typing speed was the limit so I learned to apply the "correct" way because it was faster which I needed. (I never did meet a worthwhile girl on IRC so it didn't do anything for me even though I now type faster)

  • Lawyers increasingly have to convince clients that AI chatbots give bad advice

    Jump

  • I find ai can turn out code fast - but then I spend a week or more turning it into good code and so the time saved isn't near as much. I'd be embarressd to call it my own and as a professional can't allow garbage-

  • Question: Humidity controlled cabinet

    Jump

  • Wood breathes. You will need something watertight lining the inside. Paint is not enough. 8mm plastic is my first thought - but many plastics also allow moisture through and I'm not sure what is safe. An epoxy finish on the inside might work. But getting a continious layer could be a pain.

  • ‘Manfluencers’ are filming themselves trying to pick up women using smart glasses

    Jump

  • I'm blind without my glasses. I've thought about surgery but I'm wear ansi safety glasses anyway - I know what it is like to go to the bathroom without my glasses - that is okay in the middle of the night - but I have no interest in my whole life being like that so I'm protecting my eyes as best I can.

  • You forgot inflation. If you are happy with 40k today that could be 80k by the time you retire and likely will be over 150k by the time you die.

  • The [US] car industry is racing to replace Chinese code

  • You are not wrong - but the point is there is value here, are just not getting it to the right people.

  • All spying needs to be owned by the person who owns the car. GM or however might have data, but it needs to not be accessible by them except by my agreement. Do I want my dealer to know when I need an oil change - maybe (depends on if I trust my dealer), or maybe I want my independent mechanic to know this, or maybe I change my own oil and want only me to know.

  • The [US] car industry is racing to replace Chinese code

    Jump

  • There are useful things about internet connections and phone home. Maybe not for you, but for many.

    For company vehicles when the car is due for an oil change the mechanics should be informed not the driver. Likewise the company should be able to track where their cars are and when they are driving (and restrict them from driving outside of their territory). For things like snow plows the company needs to track where they have plowed already.

    When it is cold it is nice to tell the car to start warming up 5 minutes before you get into it. For electric cars that are currently plugged in this is important as it lets you spend grid energy to warm up the car instead of range.

    It is also useful to have up to date maps on the car - there are things a built in system can do that android auto / apple carplay cannot do. Though you have to drive a lot for this to be worth it. (My car as GM's onstar and no android auto - I don't pay for it, but I could see in a 10 minute test drive how onstar is better if you are driving the car for hours every day - since I mostly work from home or bike it isn't worth it, but I can see how it is better despite not being better)

    But there needs to be a non-charge option for things like remote start.

  • Somewhat, but it also scares me.

    I know that I'm very introverted. I like to go "heads down" writing code all day. However I'm also painfully aware from experience that not talking to others means I'm out of the loop and soon I'm developing great code for something the company doesn't need. I need to spend time in the office listening to others talk - I get much less done, but at least what I get done are things the company cares about, and in turn I'm much more likely to keep my job (having to find a new job is one of the worst things that can happen to an introvert - I have to convince strangers to hire me)

    Right now I go to the office about 16 hours a week, which seems to be enough. I also live close enough to work that I can ride my bike - in turn commute time is also exercise time, something I need to get more of anyway.

  • Onless you will die in a few years growth should be where most of your retire early money comes from. As you get older you need less growth though.

  • That depends - 3% is a safe withdrawal rate gowing your income with inflation and not running out. However you won't live forever and so can touch some principal and so can go higher - how much is the question.

  • Do you think intergalactic travel will ever be possible?

    Jump

  • We can't even make radio waves that travel that far. Our best radio telescopes focused on something near that we suspect might have life don't have enough power for us to think they can be received by an arbitrarily advanced civilization on the other end (assuming there is that happens to be listening when the signals arrive). And that is stars in our own subarm of the milky way.

    Space is just bigger than you can imagine.

  • Do you think intergalactic travel will ever be possible?

    Jump

  • Sort of - but there is no reason to think we will ever be able to make something that won't break. Even intersellar is questionable just because the odds of the ship breaking in the time needed are too high.
