logancbrown··on FDA rejects petition to set PFAS limits in food
I think you mean PFOS and not PFAS, the relationship of cancers and health risks is linked to PFOS, but not PFAS in general at this time. PFOS in consumer-facing products were also majority phased out back in 2015.

logancbrown··on Car touchscreens are cheap, not good
The volume button (dial) broke on my Ford Maverick in summer. Moving to a touchscreen car felt like a sigh of relief that I no longer had to worry about buttons and dials breaking when I need to use them, and don't have to worry about a trip to a dealer or tearing apart a dash to replace them. I will say a button "feels" nicer, but the added risk to me wasn't worth it. To each their own

>Tesla's lead is about the same as a Roomba's.

What is this supposed to mean? Tesla and Roomba are in separate industries.

The effort of humans who had to toil through training models belongs to everyone? Do they no longer have any ownership over their hard work?

Early deliveries of the cybertruck were highly anticipated and the cybertruck is still the best selling electric truck even after needing to compete with the F150 lightning, Hummer EV, silverado EV, and Rivian R1T

Which rich countries do you think the UAE is putting to shame?

Would this realistically be a problem for code going through LLM-based code-review? Presumably if a LLM reviewer agent hits this commentary, it would produce a failure to analyze and exit, thus failing the automated code review and forcing a human to read through it which they would subsequentially catch and revoke.

If you are so knowledgeable, then what argument am I making?

It doesn't help your case when you state inflammatory remarks like "gender-affirming hood heights". This isn't reddit.

The data even points to the fact that, by total vehicles vs vehicles that cause pedestrian deaths, regular passenger cars cause 19.9 pedestrian deaths per 1MM registered vehicles while trucks, as and entire category, cause 19.2 pedestrians deaths per 1MM registered vehicles.

"nothing to regulate" is also an exaggeration. Many states to regulate aftermarket lifts. 6" lifts are typically the maximum legally allowed limit for trucks like the F150. You only see them higher because there is no enforcement of the rule.

A singular example. Thanks for the "gotcha", very redditor behavior.

logancbrown··on Why SpaceX 2040 Revenue FCST $4.3T in highly unlikely
This comment is very clearly an exaggeration even if there is a grain of truth to it. You should consider addressing the fact that there can be multiple "leaders" at any given time, and geopolitical boundaries can shape those leaders.

OpenAI won't be able to train competitive models without user data collection. The moat is data.

Chinese open weight models will be forced to do the same to remain competitive with other frontier labs. The moat is data going forward.

Sounds like modern slavery, import people from poorer countries to tend to the rich and elderly in countries that made short-term sacrifices to not build a future for themselves independently.

logancbrown··on Switzerland wil have a referendum to cap population at 10M
So the solution is to import uneducated and non-certified individuals from other countries at lower pay and hope you can pay them less and teach them? As if that is any easier? Sounds like the only reason is so health conglomerates can provide lower pay.

Swiss people are perfectly capable of becoming health workers? What kind of argument is this?

Solar doesn't work as well as you think in deserts because the decrease in light hitting the ground increases desertification. Desert plants require sun to thrive. Take that precious sunlight away, and the desert turns into an even worse dustbowl prior to the solar being there.

logancbrown··on Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban, but Trump might offer lifeline
To directly answer the question, Rednote is not generally used outside China, and the point about these apps being representative of "global" social media apps is false.
