Isn't the Carolla the best selling car in the world?

When I type anything in their demo, it replies "I'm sorry but I can't I'm sorry but I can't..."

I can run the 17b deepseek models (I know, these smaller ones are not actually deepseek) on my old 1080ti gaming desktop with 64 Gb of RAM. Not exactly speedy, but pretty neat nonetheless.

The swiping mechanic is super smooth! I often find that website based swiping UIs are either too sensitive, not sensitive enough, or have weird acceleration. Not the case here.

I personally want my bank to be as boring as possible.

So you think heroin, which frequently kills people the first time they try it, should be able to be sold without consequence? Certainly an interesting take.

Couldn't you buy stuff on Silk Road that would ruin your life, like meth or heroin? If true, not exactly a victimless crime to run the site.

Yes.. it is...

It's a risk I'm fine with. Anything I care about is backed up separately.

Fully agree, especially for a laptop. A password that combines three unrelated words and a few numbers takes about 3 seconds to type in.

I shut it down every day, so type in the password every day too. Short of a concussion, I'm not going to get locked out.

I don't think anyone buys a Mustang due to the brand...I mean it's a Ford.

Mustangs have a 4 second 0-60 and great handling (if you know what you're doing, they rival cars 3X the price on the famous tracks of the world).

Don't really get the comparison to a used EV - I guess you're right about straight line speed, but a used EV is pretty sketchy due to battery longevity and crappy reliability from the brands that can actually achieve this straight line speed.

For someone buying new, there isn't much left with comparable performance, considering the camaro no longer exists. Maybe the Nissan Z or the Supra, but those have had crazy dealer markups. If you know such a car in the 40-60k range, I'd love to know!

It's interesting because the EV was made fun of relentlessly when it came out, with Ford fans saying that it would be a flop.

Also, I'm biased, but I have to disagree with the "impractical vanity car" part. The current Mustang coupe is super fun to drive and affordable - the trunk is huge and it is quite comfortable for two people (even 3). The coyote v8 is a marvel of engineering - 460 HP with instant torque, but you can get 29 MPG with it on the highway (if you drive calmly). The turbo 4 is even more efficient.

To get anything comparable from European or Japanese coupes, you have to pay twice as much.

I apologize for the rambling.

I would absolutely love a low tech electric car - like an Elantra hatchback EV. I hate how every EV has to be all touchscreen-based with fancy software that needs to be updated frrquently just to drive.

Pretty cool, but a little on screen pad would be good for mobile users.

Thanks, that looks super useful for many of the projects I have in mind!
