techterrier··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
oh for sure, such is the nature of speculating on these things as they are occuring.

As you say, this check has been in the mail for a while, so how are vulernable helicopters flying over caracas without any resistance? One dude with a MANPADS could take them down.

Decapitation is also the only aparent strategic goal of this operation, so it's hardly far fetched to suggest they going for 'one and done'.

Anyway, beers on me if I'm wrong :)

We have real costs"

techterrier··on Zoox robotaxi launches in Las Vegas
Deployed recklessly, inevitably cluttering our pavements, filling our canals amoung other antisocial externalities that taxpayers get the bill for?
techterrier··on Zoox robotaxi launches in Las Vegas
in which case I apologise :)

I've seen plenty of robotaxi huckers advocate for speed limits 'appropriate for robot response times'

techterrier··on Zoox robotaxi launches in Las Vegas
Hopefully some genius will figure out a way of joining lots of these together into a 'gigapod'. That might have enough capacity to actually work at city scale.
