The owner of the 49ers, a billionaire, was recently arrested for trying to have sex with someone off craigslist in a trailer park.

nothing about the things higher education or employers look at is a perfect signal of what they want from employees. you have to try to use available data as best you can, and it's hard to find something more reliable than past results, regardless of how old those results are. obviously more recent results should be weighed more. but old results don't mean nothing.

"musk shut down federal investigations into his operations while at DOGE"

there is absolutely nothing even remotely true about this. please focus on his real issues like being responsible for the deaths of 14 million people instead of making things up

I think regardless of the school and instructor's difficulty, there's a group of people who basically make perfect grades in STEM topics (or all topics) regardless of those variables. And for some people it's easy to know what their grades were 20-30 years ago because their experience was "I made effectively perfect grades at everything my entire school career" and will vividly remember the couple exceptions. I didn't pride myself on my grades and it wasn't encouraged at all by my parents or peer group, but I was one of those students, and have the experience of remembering exactly the one class I got a B in (photo journalism, the teacher hated me). I don't say this to brag, this account isn't tied to my name, but more just explaining what Canonical is perhaps looking for.

I do think there is a large connection between grade performance/SAT scores and general aptitude and success later in life. But as you said there are plenty of circumstances that would lead to poor grades that aren't related to ability - but I would also say those circumstances are also possible indicators of how good of an employee you will be. For example having behavioral problems as a kid could lead to bad grades despite otherwise capable of good grades, and I would suspect there's connection between childhood behavioral problems and conduct as an adult.

China is doing nuclear for around $66/MWh. That's a UK a problem, not a nuclear one.

i mean personally, i enjoy not having smallpox

Super cool! love this

I think this is reaching more into the concept that extracting the value of labor of others is exploitation.

It loses on accounting if you assign zero cost to the million+ lives that carbon emitting power generation takes every year, and the long term, possibly irreversible damage it does to the planet. If you factor in those two things even 1%, nuclear wins hands down

Good!

I respect that most people wouldn't and I don't blame them. However the security of my personal information and data, while absolutely nothing interesting or noteworthy, is not a compromise I'm willing to make - mostly for reasons of principle. I don't use this laptop often, maybe at most an hour a day, and I never need it much outside the house. If it was my main driver I'd find another solution.

There is no evidence Tesla has or will done this, and suggesting as much as much basically school-yard-tier levels of rumor mongering.

This captures just how spectacularly out of touch Stanford types can be. Here’s a respected, successful professor at one of the world’s most prestigious universities. A baby boomer who has benefited enormously from one of the most prosperous periods in human history and, crucially, a straight, cis white man.

For someone with that much privilege to characterize the alleged infringement of his book’s copyright as having to endure a form of slave labor takes a staggering lack of self-awareness. It’s “you can’t write this shit” levels of obliviousness, and possibly the dumbest, most out-of-touch horseshit I’ve read all year.

And by Stanford types I mean privileged, successful people in general that one can associate with many other highly selective schools and employers.

the primaries where the person who won dropped out and was replaced with someone that literally no one voted for

> fundamental limitation of "object permanence" remains if objects can evolve chaotically as soon as they are blocked from view by another object.

they got this working decently well for video over a year ago, maybe closer to two years ago at this point, time goes fast. so i assume it'll translate to progress in Genie too

It's basically all manufacturers aside from Tesla. Tesla does not sell user/driver data, and only provides info to police when they have a warrant.

"Tesla never sells or rents your data to third-party companies. This includes your personal data and driving history."

Most manufacturers either sell this to brokers which cops easily consume, or only require subpoenas instead of warrants.

if you factor in how private industry exploits negative externalities, the mystically infallible free market is quite bad. a great example is people saying nuclear energy doesn't make sense and never will when compared to fossil fuel burning energy production, but that's entirely ignoring the million+ people who die every year from illnesses directly attributable to pollution from fossil fuel energy. and the whole irreversibly killing the planet thing.

I installed Asahi Linux on my Macbook Air recently and while it definitely took more effort than your grandparent would be capable of, it wasn't too bad. Getting FDE working was a pain for sure though.

The overall experience is good, aside from a few big areas: sleep mode still drains battery a ton, like 20-30% a day or more. And battery life in general while using it is pretty bad. And Firefox constantly runs out of memory and crashes.

Hopefully it improves soon. Even despite these issues I'm not going back to MacOS or Apple ecosystem again despite being a big fan of it and user for the last 7 years.

I'd repeat the question, according to who is this even likely a materially different car? Why does a wheel cap mean it's a different car? You could make this argument by pointing to literally any difference, like a sticker - it doesn't add an credibility to it.

I mean he's been called a nazi, a pedophile, and a scam artists multiple times in this HN comment thread. Not sure how much more slanderous it can get.

All 4 wheels and tires on modern teslas are a combined 200+ pounds. The roadster has massive tires and guaranteed they weigh more.

For current performance motors, they each weigh between 100 and 150 pounds. It's very likely the roadster ones will weigh more.

The "gearbox" equivalent is about 200 pounds on modern teslas, and again the roadster will need a beefier one.

So literally just the essentials of motors and wheels and "gearbox" is now at a bare minimum of 600+ pounds. This isn't including the actual frame and structure itself, the battery, the wiring and electronics, and literally the entire vacuum/cold gas system.

I would like anyone to comment how the demo unit could possibly be under 500 pounds "guaranteed".

I also get generic errors trying to check out, not exaggerating, like 25% of the time on anything that isn't amazon. I think Firefox and resisting fingerprinting and VPN together means places really don't want my money. I know fraud prevention etc etc, but I can still be annoyed at the state of the internet.

Yeah this article is confusing for me. The one a few days ago was basically saying "this is a slippery slope", which the post today acknowledges, then goes on to say "These passkeys don't give websites an attestation statement at all, and though a site can ask, what comes back is none" as though it invalidates the post a few days ago.

The whole point is that once everyone is accustomed to passkeys, they ARE going to ratchet it up to "you need attestation".

This is the browser wars all over again. Google spent something like 20 years winning the browser wars, and once they felt snug and secure, slowly started eroding users' abilities to control the content they see (making features adblock relies on increasingly ineffective).

At the same time the current authentication horseshit of the internet in 2026 is awful. I routinely spend 3+ minutes trying to log into a site - first it blocks logins because of my VPN, then it requires a password reset, then it requires me to login with new password, but then it needs email verification, but then I don't get the email so I have to click resend, then I type in the verification and then it asks for blah blah blah.

I am grateful that LLMs are going to be doing 95% of my browser usage very soon.

Both sentences are snarky but "You may be taking the whole stoicism thing too far" is definitely snarky

Corporate entertainment masquerading as news has been without integrity since the printing press, though the obviousness and doublespeak of it all has increased over time

Your reply is snarky when it doesn't need to be, and the guidelines very nicely ask people to remove snark

If the consequence of a major crime affecting millions of people for a person making $80k a year is a $20 fine then it's hardly illegal and especially when you you pay someone $1 to handle the months of legal work on your behalf and you never even have to set foot in a court. Scaled up to trillion dollar company scale, this is effectively what is happening.

It took me a while to figure this out too and only did in the last couple days: a 10x, 20x, or 25x plan is the cost of your monthly sub times that multiplier in terms of API costs.

So a 20x plan, that was formerly $200, would have been $4000 in API credits. Which sounds like a lot but the API is absolutely horrendously expensive - like you'll burn through $100 in 45 minutes of 5.6 Sol on High reasoning. I know this because I did this once.

This is basically my point. I don't think there's $6 billion of value in those engineers coming up with this patent before Apple came up with the same solution years later. There is some value to it, and I don't think we need a patent-troll-enabling ecosystem to still have economic incentive for people to engineer these solutions simply because they're useful to a profitable product, and not just because they hope to later sue someone for patent infringement years later.
