>or just a remix of things previously created

This is a major complaint people have had with the TV and movie industry for most of the last two decades.

This is an example of why I'm a little stumped about why people are excited about Jev-style decision models. For any application at scale it'd be way more accurate to have a dedicated classifier using the right architecture (neural net, bayesian, etc.) LLMs drive the cost of making those models down to near zero.

Just use the LLM to make a thing that's actually good at what you need it to do.

>And the flying configuration will not be street-legal.

It may not be US legal anyway. The FAA will almost certainly have something to say about something that can go up in the air and propel itself.

Both trims have only cold gas thrusters. The differences are whether they're just for forward acceleration or also stabilization (4 in the back, or 4 in the back, 4 down, and one on each side). The "Rocket" trim also only has one seat.

Neither has combustion rockets.

>I guess those guys mostly make their money by putting up billboards and farming out referrals?

I don't know why the manner in which someone studied law would have any impact on how or what they practice now. Most of the law and skill learned is by actually practicing, not what you learn in law school. Law school is about how to think like a lawyer, not how to practice law.

Pretty much any even mid-sized legal market is going to have really well-respected attorneys who graduated from some fancy top 5 law school, and some really well-respected attorneys who graduated from a local law school where they took night classes.

It’s people who graduated law school. First year was brutal. Second and third were a breeze and kind of boring.

The first year is really teaching you the lingo and how to think like a lawyer. After that it’s almost entirely electives and rarely requires hard work (Fed Courts being the exception).

> not everything is written with being posted on news.ycombinator.com in mind.

The creator of this posted it here, though. So maybe if someone is posting something here we can ask that they include sufficient context for the intended readers to understand it.

Yes, but what does any of this mean?

Pangram rates it (up to "This README is arranged by responsibility:") as 100% AI generated. I'm struggling to disagree.

Yeah. I'd love a decent plug-in EREV in the US. The 2027 Rogue appears to NOT have a plug-in option at the moment.

I can't fathom buying an EV and still only getting 40 MPG and needing to buy gas. Ninety percent of my trips are < 40 miles round trip and could be handled by a modest 15kWh battery. For that last ten percent, I'd happily use some gas to not have to worry about charging on the route.

Mazda had (has?) some cool EREVs using rotary engines as the power plant. Though sadly without plans to bring them to the US.

Adafruit filed what's called a declaratory judgment action against Flux (Defy Gravity).

Adafruit was asking the judge to say that they didn't violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act when they were researching an article and accessed some confidential documents that were inadvertently exposed.

Adafruit also asked for a judgement that they didn't defame Flux.

Flux responded on August 31, in which they signed a binding release saying they'd never file CFAA claims against Adafruit for the activities described in the complaint.

Flux then asked the court to dismiss the second part where Adafruit sought a judgment that they did not defame Flux. The basis is that the court no longer has jurisdiction over the federal claim, so it should go to state court.

Flux doesn't really address that the parties are from different states, and thus the court may still be diversity jurisdiction through which the court can maintain jurisdiction over the case.

Max from Pangram has done a bunch of interviews recently. I'd give them a listen; he might change your mind.
