Had a Tesla come close enough to me (as a pedestrian) to trigger its emergency braking system today. Honest question: if we can have these fancy emergency braking systems, why can’t we have “just prevent the car from going 40mph into a crosswalk in a 25mph zone with stopped traffic in the other lane?”

Has there ever in history been a more amazing group of cucks than META public shareholders?(I'm sure I indirectly hold a few tens of thousands of dollars of META stock because of index funds, so, pot, kettle, etc)

@azonenberg the dude who used to cut my hair when I lived in CA was a surgeon before he came to the US. Not quite what you’re asking for, but

Conversely, sometimes you get to bring your kids on a garden tour given by an art history professor in the rain.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murin-an, totally worth a visit if you find yourself in Kyoto)

Lucas (5) clearly grasps a principle of competition that I think many adults do not, or forget later in life: at the grocery store, he wanted a bag of popcorn of flavor B; I suggested flavor A instead, knowing he prefers it. He explained that Riley also likes A, so if he gets it he has to compete with her to eat it. But if he gets B, he has it all to himself.

"Musk lost, Altman won"Could be about a trial, could be the "US tech" side of the "world's biggest baby" competition. Anyway.

@dan Jen once needed a special cultural exchange visa to go work in a hospital in China. Getting it required _5_ trips to the consulate in New York, each time being sent away to come back with a more significant seal from the inviting institution.

@drq @lritter yeah, it’s a really common mistranslation for speakers of both languages!
