Elon promised self driving cars in 12 months back in 2017? He’s also promising Optimus robots doing surgery on humans in 3 years? Extrapolating…………… Optimus is going to kill some humans and it will all be worth it!

There are plenty of people all around the world who know what heinous things he did. He won’t ever be mourned, and hopefully we never see the likes of him again

I ran a miab for about 5 years, maybe around 2018, I also actively tried to do extra things that would improve delivery, including registering postmaster accounts on the various postmaster whitelist tools etc in order to increase the chances my mail would be delivered.

Unfortunately if you host your mail on linode/digital ocean, you will eventually be blocked, and mst of your email will end up in spam folders.

This year after 13 years of running my own mail services, I finally gave up, I was sending emails and then sending followup “did you get my email” messages from gmail

Imagine if everyone turned out to vote .. why doesn’t the US do it on a weekend, or make it some kind of holiday, why is it a Tuesday?

superconductors don’t have a non-zero chance of killing us.

I guess, but I’m checking HN for LK99 updates, because of the bs filter here… if I want garbage I’ll go to reddit.

I respect the effort of this satire, but the timing is kind of annoying.

I’m conflicted on this one, it has both saved me, and also almost caused a real crash… it’s save me twice when reversing, once a guy pulled in behind me after I had checked mirrors and started reversing, and the auto brake engaged and saved a collision… but it has also jammed the brakes on when driving down the street because it detected an obstacle that was fixed, and I was driving around it comfortably

What blows my mind is that even after 40+ years, these probes are still less than 1 light day away from home. A light year is vast.

Yeah it would make for a great twist, like say if some crazy terrorist decided to blow it up.. “don’t worry we have another”

I had chronic tonsillitis as a kid. The doctors treated it with antibiotics until finally after about 3 years they recommended I just get my tonsils out. I got diagnosed with UC about 14 years ago. Also have had psoriasis for years.

I blame both on excessive use of antibiotics as a 5 - 8 yr old.

The issue has always been escalation, if your enemy takes out your forward warning systems, you have to assume a full scale attack is coming, and thus you have to respond with a full scale attack yourself, damn the rest.

This was discussed at length during the 70s and 80s, and a big reason why the superpowers started to reduce their arsenals, because there is no winner after the first nuke is launched, not even a small scale exchange can be trusted to remain small.

This is a terrifying time indeed
