boredatoms··on Powerless F1 drivers frustrated by Bahrain F1 software glitch
Engine performance coming out of a corner perhaps, but using the brakes is the highest G activity in the race, and so every extra kilogram makes the brakes less effective, and makes cornering speeds slower too. Smaller lighter peaky cars are more extreme, even if their low end torque is lower

boredatoms··on OpenAI bots meddled with multiple US Government agency sites
IANAL, so the llms say prosecutors would use these,

boredatoms··on UK military jamming other nations' satellites to defend itself, BBC told
Why does a banking app require GPS?
boredatoms··on I think you should almost never use AI to write
