I’m a rural driver, I live about 30 miles away from town. Personally I really want an affordable small electric with a real world range around 100 miles so I can make it to town and a few stops and back without any concern, something like a Honda e. I’d just continue using my existing gas car for the once a month or so driving indo longer than that range and cut the vast majority of my remaining fossil fuel use (my house has overproduced solar for years and should cover much of my driving).

Unfortunately there aren’t really any cars for sale here that are what I want. I’ve been considering getting my motorcycle license and an electric motorcycle instead.

I imagine the first cube would get some drones on the Death Star before being destroyed. It would take some time to assimilate the whole thing, so the Death Star might be able to take a few more cubes before being too far gone, but my guess is the first (or maybe second if the Death Star was lucky) cube would be the end of it.

It’s certainly not moving as fast as their promises (what ever does), and perhaps has slowed, but for me at least it’s too early to call a plateau. Perhaps someone who works in the field or follows more closely can provide a better characterization, though.

To be fair most of the map imagery we use from google/apple/etc is from planes and not satellites

I’m sitting here really hoping that models hit a plateau in capabilities soon. Continuing to get smaller/more efficient would be great, but if the capabilities of our best models would plateau for a bit and give society time to adjust to the impact I would be very happy.

Growing up half Japanese I could never help laughing at that story as chinchin means penis in Japanese, and I think everyone should share in this amusement.

People also seem to be completely brushing off him having a cold like it was just some campaign lie. To me that’s exactly what he looked like: completely out of it from being sick. I get like that when I’m ill and I’m not even half his age. Given his campaign events and state of the union have not been the same it seems pretty clear to me that it wasn’t simply him being old unless I’m missing something.
