“Autopilot” is the category that depending on which car you bought and which DLC skins you paid for might contain “Autopilot” cruise control or “Full Self Driving” or “Autosteer” or “Cruise Control” or other shit that do different things and change names whenever the car updates.

Nobody griped about cgi when it was first used. There started to be backlash once the people in charge of making movies all treated cgi as a magic thing they didn’t understand that meant they could refuse to give workers any time or money and let the cgi fix it (actually thousands of hours of unpaid labor), and they never had to trust professionals they could just re-do the cgi a million times until they got the kind of generic tasteless slop executives like.

With AI that happened immediately because the executives already knew they wanted this and were waiting for it.

Required in the EU and will be required in the US soon. BYD’s big export market is Australia which doesn’t require them yet but they’re mandatory to get a good crash safety rating.

Renault and a lot of BYDs use Android as the software os, so probably it’s Android doing the facial recognition (and also probably the attention eye tracking) and that’s onboard.

Renault has a dashcam function that records from the built in cameras, but you have to plug in your own USB drive, so the upside of memory price-fixing is it’s probably not worth it for Renault to spend $300 to store the data now.

They put the oil reserves next to the major refineries. The reserves are a cave 1000 feet underground full of liquid that doesn’t do anything if you bomb it except maybe burn slowly, the refineries are a billion miles of rusty plumbing in a field that explodes and takes 10 years to fix if you hit it with a rock.

Some company did a probably clickbait bullshit “experiment” with llms controlling characters in a game world and Grok burned down a lot of buildings.

Wrong guy. Thallman gave a speech in Hamburg in May 1932 about the launch of the Antifa organization criticizing anybody thinking they can benefit from Hitler taking power and warning you can’t play with fascism. Then a book in the 1970s picked out where he’s quoting the idea he’s against and only quoted the quote trying to manufacture this convenient ironic twist where actually communists deserved to die in death camps.

The head of the SPD social democratic party paramilitary wing Reichsbanner gave a speech in February 1933 (right after Hitler took power, right before the Reichstag fire) and did actually say “after Hitler our turn” arguing it was good to let Hitler expand the military because the SPD would get a cool new army when they won the next election.

When the provisional government came along, granted free speech rights and universal suffrage

The provisional goverment was unelected and self-appointed, arrested people for arguing in favor of refusing to fight in WWI, and after months of protests said they would allow women to vote whenever they got around to having an election but women couldn’t vote until 20 and men 18.

Lenin wasn’t opposed to the provisional government when it came along because he was in Germany and didn’t know how mad a lot of people were at the random gang of Chuck Schumers from the Tsarist government who had declared themselves in charge, ignoring the Soviets that were already forming an elected government, and spent months stalling their version of an election so they could keep the incredibly unpopular WWI going.

Lenin started opposing the provisional government after 20k awol marines with machine guns showed up at his office saying they hated it, he said ok and then spent a couple months writing a book to explain why the angry guys with guns have a point.

If he was trying to be accelerationist he would have just hyped up the marines and let them shoot everybody instead of following the path of least resistance to a stable government that could last 6 months without a coup.

PFLP has been allied with Hamas on a level more like NATO since 2018. Oct 7 was technically run by the “Joint Operations Room” which is Hamas and PFLP and every significant Palestinian group with fighters in Gaza. Hamas is the biggest but PFLP is in there and one of the hostage exchange priorities was freeing Nader Sadaqa, the non-Muslim Samaritan PFLP leader.

Hamas in the 1980s was a religious zealot group that hated communists more than Israelis. But Hamas has working internal democracy, members vote for the leaders and what they support drifted over time so now Islam is dialed down to being a “frame of reference” for big tent Palestinian nationalism.

Space is extremely regulated, SpaceX just gets permits approved to do anything they want because they’re extremely cooperative with the US military and CIA.

Rocket Lab is a private rocket company that launches from New Zealand, but part of the company is in the US so they still have to get an FAA license to launch from any country. No matter where SpaceX goes they would need FAA and FCC licensing.

With Glock handguns specifically it’s easy to shove something in the back to block the little catch that stops it from being fully automatic, and right now it’s slightly easier to 3d print the right size piece of plastic than do it with a dremel. Some activists wanted to ban Glocks, but Glock is a big corporation so NY politicians warped it into a 3d printer ban while acting like they this is what you asked for.

And it’s vice-signalling to billionaires because Luigi supposedly had a 3d printed gun.

The real answer is you can’t, every time the astronauts take a piss it’s throwing everything off. But they do know where San Diego is going to be, and they want to land the capsule off the coast of San Diego, so they keep making adjustments throughout the flight so they stay on course to hit the water at 8:07:27 because that’s when San Diego is going to be there.

The logic of the people pushing this is all stepbro porn is asserting they’re underage because if they’re stuck in the same washing machine then they live together and that means they’re under 18 because British housing is very affordable. The British ban on face sitting and squirting porn got overturned with a ruling that you can’t ban porn of anything that’s legal irl. So now they’re looking for things in porn that they can construe as irl illegal to try to find something they can ban.

There’s a rotating spaceship in a parking lot in Japan. 20 years ago NASA paid Japan to build the Centrifuge Accomodations Module for the ISS, but Congress cut the $100m it was going to cost to launch it, so it’s next to some bushes with bird poop on it.

No she’s just trying to sell the idea that being trans is a tactical choice just like how she put JK instead of Joanne on her book cover so more boys would buy it.

Standard terf belief is that trans men just sometimes wanted to do boy stuff as a kid but didn’t because of sexism and are too cowardly and weak to stand up for themselves so they treacherously try to join the enemy. As part of trying to convince herself and other people that’s how it works she has to do her own Evangelical “I smoked crack every day before I found Jesus” thing.

Lockheed didn’t finish building the docking ports yet. Artemis III is supposed to be the first one with the docking port on it.

Peanuts already have saturated fat, the vegetable oils are better on that than the peanuts.

They’re telling greenlit countries go around through Iranian waters, so they can mine the main shipping channel whenever they want without warning and still let friendly traffic through up against their costline where it’s easier to police.

No because it’s designed with all the things AI can’t do. Breakout is a quick repetitive loop of pass/fail linear progression. AI melts down when it has to backtrack and keep track of multiple pieces of context and figure out how to do something but not do it yet.

They move the rockets on the highway and instead of a giant flatbed they bolt wheels on to the rocket. It would be really easy for a robot Tesla to merge into the side and total it.
