The FAQs on the page says there are "secure and reliable recovery options" when the device with the passkey is lost. I wish there was more explanation for that because trying to help people recover Microsoft accounts when they don't have the password is mostly when I have used the SMS codes.

As a subsidiary of Geely it seems unlikely Polestar would be available, but perhaps one of the US-based EV startups like Rivian, Lucid or Fisker would be interested. I am not sure how that would work with the Apple brand though.

For me there a bit of a language barrier with the terminology. After reading the sentences about hg.sr.ht and community maintenance it seems that some notable meaning is being conveyed about what that means for the operation of the service but its one I'm not smart enough to understand.

I appreciate the service though so I hope the differences between maintained and operated doesn't mean anything in the long term.

Edison Motors, a startup manufacturer of heavy vocational diesel-electric trucks (electric drivetrain with a diesel generator onboard for charging) and retrofit kits, has announced a plan for similar pickup truck retrofit kits.

After watching the Edison Motors company build a hybrid electric logging truck prototype on YouTube it made me quite disappointed there don't seem to be other classes of vehicle being made in a similar user repairable manner. Of course, passenger vehicles do have some additional regulated safety requirements compared to a heavy vocational truck but perhaps someone will try to figure it out.

This does seem plausible, but I then wonder how the thought analogy plays out considering Sutskever's subsequent statement of regret for trying out the reset button in this case.

I find it interesting that the attempted explanations, as unconvincing as they may be, are related to Altman specifically. Given that Brockman was the board chairperson it is surprising that there don't seem to be any attempts to explain that demotion. Perhaps its just not being reported to anyone outside but it makes no sense to me that anyone would assume a person would stay after being removed from a board without an opportunity to be at the meeting to defend their position.

Microsoft already has several employees whose position is titled as "CEO" -- the heads of GitHub and LinkedIn at least -- other than head of the whole firm.

Canada has a federal tax but in some provinces it is combined with the provincial sales tax and in other provinces there is a separate tax (or none in Alberta) so the USA is not the only federation with disparate tax regimes.
