On the tech side, is it still a FAANG company ie a reputable place to work with good compensation?

Thanks!

Andrej Karpathy - I guess. The tweets i see when i click on it are out of chronological order, maybe there's something new i don't see

"Here are some tips to help you avoid being a victim of a sim card swap: Use authenticator apps, hardware tokens, or your fingerprint or face scans"

I'm sorry but which bank uses non-SMS 2FA in the US?? I've been waiting for nearly a decade

It does seem incredible that chatgpt has so much expertise in literally everything. Does this mean you can beat chatgpt by creating smaller "experts" and directing questions to each?

Whatever leaders think, many younger people are keen on doing away with fossil fuels.

Loeb swings his Harvard degree around and did rounds claiming "they are silencing me" for his claim that ʻOumuamua was an alien craft.

I'm totally onboard - this is nonsense! What's annoying though is because moissanite is cheaper, you can't get a premade platinum ring with a moissanite stone.

It's not the TPMS it's the suspension

Uh, americans and non-americans: the article says Washington state; there are no senators representing DC

Being online is like talking about people behind their back - it's so easy to get cajoled into believing you're right without hearing the other side

I've heard that charging is not profitable. But then again, i've also heard that gas stations make more money from the convenience store attached than gasoline. Someone tell me if either of that is true

Loving this geocities-style tribute to petrov (found on wiki). https://www.brightstarsound.com/index.html

The sky can’t fall, it’s not really physically possible. Also, maybe isps backed off for now, who’s to say this won’t change in the future? Shareholder value trumps all, you know

Well I may be an exception but I have the complete opposite experience. I book trips last minute, like two to three weeks before flying, and maybe that’s why the three times I booked an Airbnb at San Antonio, Hawaii, and Los Angeles were absolute nightmares. Mold (I’m talking flood damage mold), dusty/dirty. Haven’t had the same experience even with cheap motels, and to me the extra 10% was worth it.

That being said i had an excellent experience in Switzerland. My host went off Airbnb soon after that and launched her own website.

Or, consider that Airbnb is different in different countries and experience varies accordingly.

Ya I just linked above to an ars tech article

a federal right is harder to revoke. But I guess we’re playing for scraps now so I see your point

What timeline?

Good point. Is servicing still needed for Tesla? I know there’s no oil changes but if the tires can be handled by a tire company could you get by without Tesla getting involved

How would it go if I bought a Tesla and somehow disabled the cellular antenna?

Love the Mitchell and webb reference

I wish there was like a debunking or common counterarguments website or something to everyone who gives the same excuses to forgive this behavior - I have nothing to hide, everyone’s doing it, I’m not significant enough for them to spy on me, they have to make money somehow etc. As it stands, I feel like even if they started live-streaming every camera on YouTube, people would still not care

lots of talk of automation and Tesla - can anyone give more insight into Teslas purported new building technique and whether it’s actually innovative? https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/14/23873345/tesla-gigapress-...

ugh I feel so old

Both of you are right. I think the us non prosumer is entirely on icloud

Huh I know nothing about cars. How would the angle affect the gear box? Isn’t that just for getting the right torque ratio?
