That's a nice ad hominem you've got there.

It's definitely a harder technical problem than regular buildings, but it's not absurd. I think the biggest risk factor is the disposition of the hardware after a life cycle: deorbiting and vaporizing tons of servers would be pretty bad, but dropping them to the surface somehow for reclamation and recycling is possible.

Nobody that says the answer is obvious has put enough expertise and thought into it. In my experience, a bunch of qualified engineers saying "well, I guess we could, maybe 🤔" is an incubator for innovation.

What do you bean?

In 2019, debating with a COO that didn't want any WFH at all, I said that requiring people to sit in front of you to work is saying that you don't trust them and that you don't know how to manage them or measure their output.

He didn't accept it, but had no rebuttal. I wonder if he's learned any of that by now.

No, there are separate buttons around the wheels.

As a different owner, pressing the accelerator while in FSD does not disengage. Keeping it pressed shows a warning that the car will not brake while you are overriding it. Holding it for a longer period (maybe 20s?) will start some warning feedback that will result in FSD disengaging after several more seconds. It also disengages if you exceed a set limit, which I think is 85, but I don't hit that situation often.

Different models and years behave differently. Cars with no stalks use the right wheel.

One has to wonder what the ROI is on having AI bots astroturfing about AI, especially when the output is this clearly artificial.

It's the other direction. The ballot won't get to you to drop off.

Smiths got all the tang.
