Sampling metrics is sampling and leads to aliasing.

Similarly, sample count/interval limits in tsdbs like prometheus are not downsampling. They're just skipping samples. This also creates aliasing. Can be very noticeable especially if you combine it with rate/derivative functions.

As an investor or founder that seems like a massive waste of capital.

Open weight models are kind of weird because they're usually just a bunch of weights and maybe a chat template, not even test vectors or anything. Quite odd, and probably one of the reasons why vllm, sglang, the llamas etc. so often produce buggy output. It's actually quite strange how little attention is given to verifying these setups work.

Isn't speed under verbal authorization limited to like 30-40 km/h?

Kinda grating to have the story of your project told in default Claudese, to be honest.

The introduction seems human written, but the slightly technical bits after that are clearly AI written, which makes sense, since the system that's being described was written by AI as well.

Well you still take a compromise on range, charging speed, comfort, size etc. with those options.

Building strafe.chat and expecting people to not expect it’s a D/s chat app is hilarious.

Also “strafe on your desktop”. Plus this is obviously entirely vibecoded.

An M4 Sherman is about 6m long which production SUVs don't reach. That's about the length of an L3 delivery van, which is usually the longest version they make.

The M4 is 2.6m wide. No car is 2.6m wide. That's wider than a coach bus.

The M4 is 3m tall. Even the fattest SUVs do not come close.

The M4 weighs 30+ tons.

No, the data is in on the Spring. It's just bad. But it's also not even a Dacia/Renault, but rather badge engineered Dongfeng.

False. M1E means type approvals will be valid for ten years instead of requiring compliance to changing / updating rules and requirements on a roughly biennial schedule. The requirements will be the same as the current M1 requirements. You can just sell an outdated/unsafer car for way longer without investing into changes and R&D.

> Sure, but that's a different kind of safety than _crash_ safety.

It literally is not. Both are crash safety systems, active and passive, respectively. The active category also includes things like ABS and ESP.

> (which, mostly, I already prevent by paying attention)

This is an extremely well researched area (car crashes cause trillions in dollars of damages annually and therefore get a lot of attention) and not to the support of your stance.

EX2 has short range and charges even slower, I doubt it's a particularly interesting car for europe outside certain niches (like delivery services).

Dacia Spring is basically everything some people think all Chinese cars are. I.e. extremely cheaply built, will definitely not last (it's one of the worst performing cars for safety-critical defects in 2/3 year inspections), with bad safety and somehow worse performance.

It's a typical example of boots theory. So cheap and compromised you'll spend more in the long run.

Lots of precedent for that: In the EU WEEE has incentivized companies to crush working electronics rather than selling them, because it is way less bureaucracy to hand something to a certified recycler than it is to legally sell the stuff. And once something has been entered into the WEEE system as waste it's pretty much impossible to legally recover it: the recyclers are literally not allowed to simply pick working equipment out of the pile and sell it. Technically WEEE is supposed to enable reuse, but it's way easier and less bureaucracy to just crush stuff. The necessary per-item paperwork, testing and certification (it has to actually work, broken/non-working equipment cannot be removed from the WEEE system, because it is waste, legally) and logistics required for reuse exceed the residual value anyway.

That's why used enterprise/industrial electronics are way less common on EU eBay compared to other places, despite the industrial base being so large (or used to being so large). You can actually see when WEEE came into force because very little used T&M equipment entered circulation in the EU after the early 2000s.

Another factor is lease agreements, where companies don't buy equipment and the lessor "recycles" (i.e. crushes) the equipment to avoid creating a used/second hand market as an additional benefit.

Array of arguments is vastly superior and more secure than every program/runtime inventing a slightly different way of splitting a command string into an array of arguments. No debate. A real problem is the related birth defect in ssh2.

Over 1k words for something which fits in two paragraphs. Painful.

Google Chrome has a static, preloaded pin set for Google's own web properties, I guess these minor ccTLDs were not covered by that.

Really seems more like you got used to their verbal tics and unmonitored quality, to be honest.

The 16 TB drive won't be anywhere close to 4x faster than the 4 TB drive, though. Maybe 20% (~200 MB/s vs ~230-250 MB/s). That's because most of the capacity increase comes from more tracks and more platters, not linear density, which determines throughput.

Non-plugin hybrids are just regular gas cars. It would be bizarre to give them any sort of preferential treatment in anything, though their rules are already strange to begin with (giving tax advantages to PHEVs and EREVs, which are almost exclusively used as pure gas cars).

The rogue unaccountable hacking will continue until OAI/Anthropic get their regulatory moat by banning foreign and open competition.

The EV6 GT is a 1550mm tall crossover SUV-coupe weighing almost 4900 lbs with 577 hp, but is more of a young man's sports car than a 1380mm tall sedan weighing 100 lbs more but approaching twice the power? Seems sensible.

Most hybrids Toyota sells have a ~1 kWh battery which cannot be charged externally.

Historically most of these "Whether it’s a battery EV, plug-in hybrid, hybrid, or internal combustion engine vehicle―whatever the power source" platforms have been utter ICE-first EV-distant-fourth-priority shit shows. Most of the exceptions are rather expensive.

Various OEMs have sort of soft-exited the US EV market, but that doesn't mean they're not offering the cars or stop development of them in other markets.

It just means the US market is too unattractive and low-volume for EVs that aren't a Tesla.

Stratigraphically the invention of agriculture and the first thermonuclear weapon happened at the exact same instant.

Transputerpunk.

Yes, and most of them are low or medium impact and typically only apply to relatively niche modules or configurations. I can't recall any RCEs from this decade that were widely exploitable. The most recent one could be CVE-2026-42945 ("nginx rift"), but even that requires a really specific and kind of strange configuration.

Humans give way more random answers than LLMs to questions like "give me a random number between 1-100" (when not giving the LLM any tool calls).
