Always.

(Hi Ken!)

I really don't think I was doing anything especially clever and it was running at 32% for me over 50 samples. That's much worse than chance.

Zero chance of that happening anytime soon. I'm sure a lot of people have adopted it, and more will follow, but there are still plenty of us who enjoy writing and have no desire to let AI tools take that away from us.

> I'm not saying I find the prospect thrilling; just that it's inevitable.

I see no reason why this should be the case. All you have to do is keep writing and it's suddenly not inevitable.

I've only had a couple weeks in rentals with automatic emergency braking, and was very nearly been rear-ended twice due to false positives. Anecdotal, and I'm sure they'll improve with time, but I would never allow the system I experienced anywhere near a car I owned. It was profoundly unsafe.

I would assume that the state law protects parents against a city adding a restriction in their municipal code.

Gated communities, by their nature, attract and encourage the sort of busybodies who think that everyone needs to be protected from everything.

Our neighborhood in the northeast US does the same (minus the hard prohibition against parents going with them). Our 5 and 9 year old walk to school daily, usually picking up the neighbors' kids (6, 6, 10, 9, 7, 7) along the way. If we happen to be free sometimes an adult will walk with them, sometimes we start walking with them and then stop for coffee with a neighbor while the kids continue on, sometimes they go by themselves.

I can't imagine living somewhere where that was prohibited.

That’s exactly the same rule with more words (postfix = right, prefix = left).

It's very cool. Thank you!

"Centrist" in practice means "more or less content with the status quo." That is fundamentally a conservative position orthogonal to any notion of "facts".

The work discussed in this post shipped in the OS last year (fall 2025), so nothing here is dependent on very recent changes.

Field hockey is almost exclusively a girls sport in the US, while boys have (American) football in the fall. Both draw from the potential pool of soccer players in US middle and high schools.

“in a real race we have no actual chance of winning” is an absolutely wild thing to say in response to a link to a real race in which the human has won the last few years in a row.

What sort of engineering standards are these Cybertrucks built to?

Oh, very rigorous engineering standards. The wheels aren't supposed to fall off for a start.
