is it really pointless though, can we ensure these Chinese models aren’t biased in a way China wants them to be? Honest question.

Not much point in impeaching anyway if you can’t actually remove from office at this point.

The dream still is that he will face some kind of justice before he dies however unlikely…

I don’t think the right covers merely photos taken, it’s mainly about publication of them.

Yeah I do think there’s real utility to these and they’ll become more and more useful. These companies are working towards AR glasses that could completely replace phones.

Obviously my point was not that Model Y cannot function as a robotaxi, just that since they seem to be needing to gradually expand a geofence, validate, continuously monitor the vehicles in operation and are even picking the strategy of not utilizing existing cars that much and instead building the Cybercab. This suggests that no opportunity for millions of Tesla owners to sign their own vehicle up for robotaxi duties is coming any time soon.

I have significant doubts about this “any Tesla as robotaxi” idea at least if you’re referring to Musk’s empty promises about how you could make money off your own Tesla while not using it.

The simple explanation is indeed that they’ve noticed 2 seats is enough for most taxi usage and IIRC I’ve seen some articles say the data supports that. They’ve optimized the Cybercab to be their taxi in this and other ways. Clearly they’ve also made efforts to maximize its range and chosen an interior that is easy to clean, removed the glass roof and even the rear window that would possibly not last so long in heavy use etc.

If there’s ever going to be a bigger taxi from them I’d expect it to be another purpose-built vehicle.

No, Waymos are Jaguar i-Pace (Indian owned), Ojai (Chinese Geely/Zeekr) and in the future also a version of Hyundai Ioniq (South Korea).

Way to go trying to paint over the very real impact USAID has had on health outcomes for people in developing countries. Trump’s actions are also making more Ukrainians needlessly die every day so it’s not like he is inconsequential even for this war.

Decent season finale but to me it seems like it might have been better to let some of these happen in the previous episodes because some of the past ones weren’t all that eventful.

The battles make as little sense as they ever did in GoT. If you’ve already breached the walls it doesn’t seem to make much sense that a dragon would be the decisive factor anymore since you can’t use it on the warriors already within… You’d also think Daemon would have given a bit more thought to the what if of there being dragons to contend with (even if he counted on the traitor being on his own side). And then Ulf turns his dragon against the city anyway, somehow supposedly knowing exactly where Ormund is…

That said, it was an epic episode that I enjoyed a lot, going to be a long wait to see how things resolve exactly…

well, those are the kind of apps unlikely to happen in any form other than Waydroid and such since nobody other than the corps providing the service can usually make one.

Overall I feel like this season has done a much better job than the previous one in not having many obvious filler scenes and while this episode felt like it had less important events than any of the previous ones to me it was still pretty good. The way things play out between Aemond and the witch seemed a little forced though.

There’s flexibility with Pis that can let them be smaller when you need it. Hackberry Pi CM5 for example takes much less space compared to a laptop. Obviously the builtin screen and keyboard are also much more limited than a laptop though. Both of those can be fixed by attaching a display and a keyboard when needed though. Plug in display glasses and you’ve still got a setup that takes much less space than a laptop. I also like that you can plug in a Pi to a desktop dock anywhere so if you have the ability to configure a space for yourself you could just bring the Pi in your pocket to it.

what huge taxes are you talking about? it’s not that different from what you’d expect in the EU in general, lower than some and higher than others. Pretty typical for Western Europe.

Bernie talking about that is interesting context but I wouldn’t expect the Trump admin to do anything similar to what he wanted with this anyway. 50% would be a terrible thing if it meant these goons get control…

Daemon treating the dragon riders like shit can’t be very good for their morale. On the other hand him being positively remembered by the Gold Cloaks paid off here…

I would say it was at least somewhat suggested that there was magic involved since Aemond gave no regard to the stabbing until the witch appeared. Would be interesting to see comments by the show creators about it and how this part of the story was told in Fire & Blood.

Can’t imagine a queen’s guard obeying the prince instead of the queen and living much longer, I understand someone might make that decision in the moment but I very much doubt it was the right one for his wellbeing…

Sheepstealer seems more like a case of why you don’t go to battle before you’ve completed basic training. Seems very much what you’d expect from a dragon you only just managed to mount with great difficulty.

Knowing that would mean the ability to make lots of money off of it but nobody knows for sure.
