  • European tourism to the USA in free fall

    Jump

  • I used to visit once or twice a year. I don't have any plans any time soon to go back.

  • IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE

  • In any sane country assholes like this would instantly lose their medical licence. And if they weren't doctors to begin with, only pretending to be, they'd end up in prison.

  • Oxford Professor: Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities

    Jump

  • To do things. Drove my kid to school 8km at 0610 today for a school trip, then a 20km drive to work, then later to get groceries etc. I wish I could cycle but my personal circumstances don't allow for it. Doesn't mean that my situation applies to everyone or that towns & cities shouldn't be designed with cyclists & pedestrians first, cars second to lessen the need for cars because I think they should.

  • I have an EV and I still agree with this. An EV is better than an ICE vehicle but it is no substitute for designing cities around people - footpaths, cycle lanes, recreation, public transport etc.

  • EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech

    Jump

  • Should be two pronged - tariffs on cloud and other services while fostering competitive local alternatives. While it's possible knock up a cloud out of anything there is nothing in Europe as coherent as the offerings by Amazon, Google or Microsoft. And there should be.

  • Trump demands ‘terrorists’ who vandalized his golf course be ‘treated harshly’

    Jump

  • Drones definitely seems like a viable attack vector especially on a golf course. I wonder how they could even mitigate unless they had people constantly patrolling with jamming devices

  • Trump demands ‘terrorists’ who vandalized his golf course be ‘treated harshly’

    Jump

  • That golf course existed before Trump, since 1906 and should exist after him. But while he owns it, Scotland should put the priority its own citizens ahead of this whiny ass bitch - build wind farms, impose conservation orders, reject planning applications, deny US private / military flights to any airport anywhere close, And audit the ever living fuck out of the course. After all, it is owned by a convicted fraudster so who knows how the books are being cooked.

  • Trump says he is not joking about third presidential term

    Jump

  • And you thought Alex Garland's Civil War movie was fiction.

  • OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power

    Jump

  • If you need to use AI, be aware that there are MANY free models and training options. No reason to be locked into proprietary service.

  • Tesla Fans Furious at Video of Tesla Crashing Into Wall Painted Like Road

    Jump

  • I saw the video and I have two points:

    1. Yes it plays like an infomercial for lidar. So take that portion with some skepticism. I can think of some issues exclusive to lidar like 2+ lidar cars blinding each other which needs to be solved, e.g. some kind of light pattern encoding to mask out unwanted signals.
    2. It absolutely 100% demonstrates the issue with camera-only technology in Tesla vehicles.

    Teslas used to have cameras + radar but they cheaped out and removed the radar. I think it would have passed all the tests if they still had the front facing radar but they don't. The problem with cameras alone is obvious - they can't see what they can't see and probably don't have an innate sense to slow down if there is rain, fog, ice or whatever else that might cause a human to.

  • Multiple Tesla vehicles were set on fire in Las Vegas and Kansas City

    Jump

  • Stick to the showrooms and dealers. The victims in Las Vegas was just owners who brought their cars in to be fixed.

  • I do not believe for a second that communications within the Whitehouse are inadequate, or if they were, could not be solved in a secure manner. Slapping a Starlink in a few places sounds like an invitation to backdoor all communications. Not only that, it is an invitation to sidestep obligations to preserve government records.

  • GIMP 3.0 Released

  • GTK 3 support just in time for GTK 4 & 5

  • Elon Musk’s Biographer Warns Billionaire Is ‘Going Mad’ Due To ‘Combination Of Depression, Drugs And Stress’

    Jump

  • I followed Abramson from 2016 for 3+ years and I was disillusioned because as time went on, his narrative didn't line up with reality. Yes Trump was and is a horrible piece of shit and much came out to confirm how much a piece of shit he was, e.g. Muller report, rape, fraud trials. But nothing like Abramson was saying. I believe that is because he was treating every rumor as fact and then expounding / extrapolating on it to heap another rumor (as fact) on top. Nobody should be doing this let alone a scholar who should know better - veracity matters.

    And to repeat - I truly hope Musk is having a miserable shitty life. I really hope he goes nuts and checks into a funny farm or uses razor blades to test if he is living in a simulation as he has wondered occasionally. I just don't trust his "biographer" when he claims anything given his past record on such things.

  • Elon Musk’s Biographer Warns Billionaire Is ‘Going Mad’ Due To ‘Combination Of Depression, Drugs And Stress’

    Jump

  • I'm quite content with that outcome too. I'm just not holding out hope because of something Seth says.

  • Elon Musk’s Biographer Warns Billionaire Is ‘Going Mad’ Due To ‘Combination Of Depression, Drugs And Stress’

    Jump

  • Musk may well be going mad and I certainly hope he is. I hope his lack of recognition and watching his empire crumble is eating him up inside.

    But Seth Abramson is not a reliable narrator let alone "biographer" whatever that means. He has a very long and storied history of embellishing facts, or placing too much weight on rumours and extrapolating way too much from them.

  • Sometimes when I've torrenting from a public wifi I'll get a malicious .scr file - but since I torrent from an Android phone it can't do anything to me.

  • Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leader

    Jump

  • The stupid part is that Trump / Vance made themselves look like assholes. Zelensky was over to sign a deal and they threw him out for disagreeing with their dumb talking points. And far from making America "great", I expect that Canada, Europe, UK, Australia, Japan, South Korea etc has collectively decided that they need to reduce their dependence on America while these malignant narcissists are in charge.

  • Tesla doesn't have that excuse. The original Roadster, Model S and Model X all had fairly conventional controls. They deliberately undermined the safety of their vehicles over time by aggressively removing physical controls in the model 3 and Y and revamped S. It probably saved them a few bucks, but at the cost increased risk to human life. If they get penalized in safety tests for their penny pinching then so be it.
