To me this joke should be about Teslas, not BMW...

Just based on what im seeing when driving. I was starting to think that Tesla made that function very difficult to use or something.

Not originally, but some people started using a perfectly normal word as a slur.

It happens a lot. The word bitch was also a completely normal word for a female dog.

Probably many examples if anyone cares enough to find them.

And airplane tech still looks like 3 decades old. :)

I guess it is like that always... The airplanes are always quite old.

I think books are cool. Anyone who read books is a cool person and not yet lost to social media addiction. They can still be in the moment with themselves.

I had a period when I could not read a single page in a book because my mind was constantly wanting to use the phone instead. Many people are like that right now.

People seem to care more about synthetic benchmarks than using a browser that gives them much less tracking and ads. Remember when chrome was popular because its so fast? I never noticed a difference between that and Firefox in ordinary web pages, except Googles, since they are intentionally making it slow for Firefox.

And with all that going on, people still picked chrome. :)

Which is what the bible says also. Thats why its a popular belief. It can be interpreted such that we are under a dome and on the other side is water, not space.

This is actually pretty cool, if you have watched the movie They Live of course. If you havent, get to it.

Using it gives a whole new (correct) meaning to the web experience today...

There is a bigger picture here. Food in America is using ingredients that is not allowed in the EU because its seen as toxic. That is what the focus should stay on i think.

No, but if empathy went up 50% and greed went down 50%, there would.

This is not about intelligence at all. School tells you that intelligence is important because it makes you a better worker for the corporations.

But if you think about a good person in life, their intelligence is not going to be top of the list of their best qualities.

People are so focused on intelligence that they often completely forget about other qualities a human being can have.

In the motion, prosecutors referred to an officer firing five times, but the document does not mention that officer or any ​other being shot. A spent cartridge was found in the suspect's shotgun, according to Wednesday's motion.

The document did not accuse Allen of aiming at or ​striking the Secret Service officer who authorities say was shot in the chest but protected by his body armor.

That contrasts with ⁠statements made earlier by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. It also raises the question of who ​fired the round that struck the Secret Service officer.

I dont even know if American media is covering this so could be a surprise for people.

The report, which claims that “American ‘black boxes’ failed at zero hour of the attack on Isfahan,” concerns devices that Iran claims either rebooted or dropped offline despite the country having already been disconnected from the global Internet, a fact it says "indicates deep sabotage."

The US stock market is home to the world's biggest companies and has set a series of all-time highs recently despite warnings from the International Energy Agency that the global economy is facing the biggest energy shock in history.

Its like people are completely asleep to the energy and food crisis that is building up. I guess there has been so many crisis lately they they have stopped reacting.

If Hormuz doesnt open up, and I dont think it will, there will be a lot of big problems. Probably mostly for Asia and Europe, but im not sure if America will be immune. What if food costs increase? Fuel costs?

Annie Altman accused her brother of sexually abusing and raping her between 1997 and 2006 at the family home in suburban Clayton, Missouri, starting when she was three and he ​was 12. She said the "last acts of sexual abuse and rape" occurred ​when Sam Altman was an adult. He is now 40.

They always go for the kids dont they. I dont know how credible this Annie Altman is, the family says she is mentally ill. But they would say that, wouldnt they.

I think this is an excellent idea actually. Doesnt it feel like we are all tired of screens now and it feels good with proper books again?

You can have look on the site if your country supports this shit. Mine does, which is why I feel no obligation to feel any sense of nationalism. Only a handful of countries say no to this.

Companies claiming 100% of their product's code is now written by AI consistently put out the worst garbage you can imagine. Not pointing fingers, but memory leaks in the gigabytes, UI glitches, broken-ass features, crashes: that is not the seal of quality they think it is. And it's definitely not good advertising for the fever dream of having your agents do all the work for you.

This is true in my personal experience too. Its much faster to use AI but it always causes some weird bugs and glitches over time, and duplicated code is common.

But I think companies will continue to use it, since its still faster than writing code manually. But software quality is going down and is going to be seen as something that can be patched with AI in the future.

I didnt know so many things about Iran before reading this. Just the size of the country and its terrain....

Its a very dumb war. But interesting how we have so many really stupid wars these days, like the Ukraine one too.

These games were incredibly impressive actually. I guess many of you reading this were not born yet when this title came out, but the systems were so weak compared to todays systems, and yet the game managed to feel smooth and quick.

All these abstraction layers we have today may make it much quicker and easier to make a game, but its truly impressive to read about these guys who handcoded assembly to make these games shine. It wasnt just a game to these guys, it must have been a passion to create it.

This is fun to click around for a while. Just keep hitting next in the left corner for more and more small web sites. Kagi is intentionally giving these smaller sites extra discoverability in this view.

This article almost makes me want to try it. Anyone here have tried? I imagine its very outdated but stable. Can you even run modern stuff like Firefox and editors on that thing?
