The list of names read like "Old men charmed by young girl let her get away with whatever she wants"...

That's racist, he's South African!

(How many layers of sarcasm does this comment have...)

Doesn't Tesla offer its own insurance...

That'd be funny. An insurance where if you want to make a claim, you just get met with a Grok-bot that'll do the airbnb-style fucking to you (ignore the complaints, minimize them, be as stupid and slow as possible, and offer 10% of the refund that the complainant will frustratedly take as "at least it's something").

The level of delusion of many commenters here thinking these cars will make it to market is baffling to me.

And I'm the one with "derangement".

Then again, maybe I'm forgetting about the corrupt lawless country they operate out of...

Hah, his profile sure has a lot of bullshit about being human and positivity...

Silicon Valley/tech used to be hippies, but the money-hungry noticed it's somewhere to make money, and swarmed to it.

Look at Cliff Stoll, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=656058JxTM0

And no wonder those "money!" people hang out in a forum made by a venture capital company...

I wrote this comment the other day, it got flagged to death:

> As someone who downloaded, over 28.8K modem, a version of the Jargon File (1) as a plain text file (2) to read during a school vacation, in the "good old days" of my imagination Silicon Valley was a lot cooler for hackers. But people noticed it was a place to make money, and all the money-hungry MBAs showed up, and now the whole industry has a stench to it..

This is so terribly and unthinkingly done. What calculator looks like a paper notebook in real life? If you want to list apps, what's the appropriate metaphor? The designer thought "Oh, let's make it a list on paper in a notebook...". Why not e.g a toolchest with all the tools available to represent all the programs you have installed? (If you ask me to brainstorm an idea)

I wonder whether the password change mechanism asked for the old password... or if the same flaw existed.

"What's your old password?"

"something_more_than_8_characters_long"

"Let me check. The result of the check is... ERROR. Great, what's your new password?"

Just 2 days ago: one of these buses had an accident that left the front part twisted 180 degrees in relation to the rear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flbaRmGKzPY

Grew up in a warm place. Currently my car sleeps in a relatively warm underground carpark of the apartment block.

I don't see the appeal of heated seats, I've never turned the ones in my cars on. OK, I suppose when you've left your car in below zero weather it's useful.

Heated steering wheel on the other hand; that's heavenly.

I suppose if I ever find a BMW attractive enough to buy one despite this consumer-hating behavior (their grilles help me stay away), I'd figure out if I can unplug the seat from the control unit, and just plug it straight to a different power supply to get the heat. Or will they use something like HDMI's Digital Content Protection to prevent "heat piracy"?

Anyway it's all theoretical, it seems they've given up trying to pick your pocket for heated seats, but for other features they're still going to mug you: https://www.drive.com.au/news/bmw-admits-heated-seat-subscri...

The bottom of the tribute page says "An Automattic Love Letter".

Fucking automated love indeed. It's the Fleshlight of eulogies. One that has an accelerometer that counted usage stats.

It's fascinating to see this in things as life-or-death-to-millions-important like global politics, and the you-know-who. And his team of this kind of people...

Fascinating in the sense of "How did you get here!? And can't you see this move will blow up in your face in the near future!?".

I guess if you have 50-60 years of adulthood where you made dumb moves but got away with it...

Profiles of corporate courage...

To Godwin it (with his assumed blessing (1)), I guess this is how BMW, Hugo Boss, Allianz, etc, ended up being involved in the Holocaust.

Sarah Connor?

A service you delegate your thinking to (Brain-aaS?), which the provider can also instruct to report anything suspicious... What a world we have now.

I wonder if the BaaS-providers monitor the accounts of decision makers. They could profit if they figure out what e.g. a central banker is going to decide. Or... if they're the ones deciding for him.

Hah, you can even streamline that by having an AI agent that autonomously makes decisions based on insider info...

I guess this isn't the place for it, but from a scientific point of view, I'm quite certain what's after (i.e. I've convinced myself) ...

Switzerland is there, but the AI coder didn't change the z-index of the country when it's selected, and the border highlighting only works for a tiny part of the border.

Trump said sanctions are gone and the USA will be getting oil from Russia, 6 million barrels, or 1.5 days of USA's daily demand.

Is there a polymarket pool where I can bet the diesel never arrives, because the artist of the deal will reveal himself and his administration to be rubes?

> Trump wrote on social media that Putin agreed in a call to “immediately supply” more than 300,000 tons of diesel to global energy markets, with another 500,000 tons promised in November. Together, the amounts — equal to 6 million barrels of diesel fuel — would cover about a day and a half worth of US demand, according to the US Energy Information Administration.

Hah, Potemkin Office Suite. Next, Potemkin OS and Potemkin phones?

Maybe that's many are convinced AI can replace developers, they can only see the surface of software and think there's not much more underneath it...

If I lived in that utopia (/s), I'd go around with a labelmaker to print out the prices of menu items when 15% (is that enough, or still cheap) is included, and stick them next to the prices on the menu.

Heck, someone should vibe code a mobile browser extension to do that for online menues...

In 2006 we weren't running with supercomputers and high definition cameras able to broadcast to the world within seconds of pulling it out...

Anyway, outside of tech, we're at the start of a Godzilla El Nino and 6 or 7 climate tipping points already tipped; there's a genocide while we're busy having influencer-induced FOMO (1), fascism rising and resource shortages aren't getting better (Guess why gas is so high at the moment...).

My therapist says it's a fair comparison, it's not a movie about "oh he's just human", it's "look at the assholishness of this human".

Would you say the same if it's a biography of say, Charles Manson? He's just a human as well, like you and me, but the world cares more about all the horrible shit he did.

You can spot that I'm not a fan...

So maybe the book cares more about the thought process behind the destructive shit Elon has done. For one thing, Doge's probably has fatally damaged the USA, and oh yeah, Doge's there because Elon helped Trump get elected. How's your grocery and gas bill this week?

Sam Altman said "Elon desperately wants the world to be saved. But only if he can be the one to save it.". Reading the beginning of this article about his climate fight makes me think maybe Elon's motivation is to gain the world's love to fill that trillion cubic meter gaping hole in his heart...

He's even tried humor, but as this lady's pointed out: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/13/it-soo...

Satire is mostly dead in this world of clownocracy, but someone should prank-call FIFA and ask them who's the winner of this year's FIFA Peace Prize...

Not the person you were conversing with, but: Sheesh, how dismissive of the tens of thousands of dead (both in Gaza and in Japan).

If you want to claim to be more civilized than Hamas and their cheerleaders, not being angry when "your side" doesn't take all effort to kill civilians is not how to do it.

Some in Palestine cheered when 7 October happened. Some cheered when 9/11 happened. If you ask them "how can you, those innocents died for no reason" and they replied "That's the 'reality' of war", how would you feel?

And if you consider them uncivilized barbarics for not caring, how do you view yourself? Ah yeah of course you're different, you're on the "right side", and for you "it's fine" (or "it's reality of war") when the "wrong" innocents die...

I wonder if there's a couple (2 humans) out there where his name is Claude and her name is Alexa... Or Siri.

The Cablese/Telegraphese is more interesting than the use in LLM. DuckDuckGo'ed "paromella":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_code_(communication...

Some codes I found interesting:

> INSANE - at what price, free on board and freight, can you offer us cotton for shipment by steamer sailing this week?

> COGNOSCO - dining out this evening, send my dress clothes here

Useful codeword!

> ANNOSUS — Confined yesterday, Twins, both dead, Mother not expected to live

How often did that one come into use??

It reads like this article comes from a parallel universe, a parallel universe where they didn't know (Debian) Linux is able to boot on different architectures. Slap the desktop background on it, the DE customizations, and they're amazed?
