I’m surprised we haven’t seen more cars designed for ride share drivers. Seems like this would be better than a big suv.

(sorry for the repost, I really wanted that leading picture to show up!)
But yes, the modern wrangler is quite a different vehicle from where they started. Our expectations have shifted.
I think you are also describing the original CJ quite accurately!
I think they have worked with Suzuki before, they should bring the new Jimny over as a Jeep CJ. In addition to being awesome it would annoy all the right people.
Going to be a big summer for middle aged men with heat pumps and solar panels.
It wasn’t very clear
They just posted a gigantic BWA to the website www.swbno.org/News/BoilWater
Holy smokes that’s a big area for a boil water advisory!
“thermodynamics … can’t be mapped into mathematics” is quite the claim.
This morning’s water main break in New Orleans features Redditors posting photos of booze next to the big hole in the ground. www.reddit.com/r/NewOrleans...
Is a good thing Iran doesn’t have a long history of supporting terrorist activity in other countries, and that we don’t have our counterterrorism capacity out chasing day laborers around the Home Depot parking lot.
Om is calling this “the announcement economy” where the press release is as important to the share price as the follow through om.co/2026/02/02/o...
They have some strong Mets-lost-cause vibes this year and it’s going to be great fun rooting for them!
And their pricing has always been based on how big of an engineering team they think your company would need to build an in house CRM, and that number is shrinking quickly.
@volts.wtf I think this paper would make a fascinating subject for a Volts episode!
A recent debate on the left pits “abundance” vs “anti-monopoly”
Is the problem that we've made it too hard to build? Or that extractive corporations dominate the economy?
My new paper argues: both reflect a deeper shift.
We've entered an economy oriented toward scarcity—the Anti-Growth Machine.
You assume incorrectly that simply typing code into the computer is the foundational aspect of my job
And I suspect the small radomes in the background are for listening to cooperative satellites, but the big one ...
Right, you can guess a lot about a satellite based on what kind of dish is pointed at it and when, so those dishes are kept under wraps.
Yea but solar panels and an EV aren’t as cool as M’TRUCK!
By this I mean if you go to the local Walmart and ask 100 people about fuzzy logic 100 of them will say “what the hell are you talking about?” but most of that 100 would also tell you that ChatGPT is AI.
Isn’t there a long history of this? I don’t think “fuzzy logic” is considered AI by most people outside the field.
13) basically all of our problems, in principle, are one problem: who is in control and how do they determine what the thing should do or how it should be used? how do they determine what not to do?
13a) most people are unwilling to address this as a core problem, basically because it is too hard
laundry list of ai-related opinions:
1) llms do work and sometimes writes good code
2) ai is not llms. ai is neural networks. "training neural networks" works so well it's baffling
3) "the singularity" is an easy concept and if you scoff at it you're being tribalistic or deliberately obtuse
Really love how starlink and falcon 9 are getting woven into our national security apparatus at the same time.
Modern sewer systems are amazing, people can just push a leaver in their house and their turds quickly become the government’s problem.
Ultra-rich buyers are consolidating New York townhouse apartments into giant single-family homes. Some are buying two, even three adjacent townhomes to build a franken-house.

There will still be humans involved in specifying, designing, and verifying the software. The title "software engineer" will be just as pertinent to them as it is to coders, whether or not they are called that.
