Yeah, one would think that would blow a grand jury ruling. Vandalism, arson… ok.
If it weren’t an external gate and was instead someone’s front door, then maybe, but as it stands, it’s all property damage and attempted murder is a crazy reach…

I think that would apply to people tricked into reading/watching AI slop video, but I think his definition is a likely one that could apply.
You try to google search, you get an ‘ai overview’. In a bizarre scenario, DuckDuckGo made a big deal of asking the users and showing the users overwhelmingly wanted to skip AI results by default, and duckduckgo still defaults to AI summary unless you take measures to opt out.
An analogy is dificult, but I suppose imagine a subway dropped off someone and there’s no stairs up, only a tunnel for a Tesla to take you to the next stop. You “use” a car, but were given no option to do otherwise because you were stuck underground and they forced you to take the car to carry on.
In either case, his definition certainly is a likely one for a Gen Z respondant to be thinking when they respond “yes they use AI”. On the flip side some probably felt as you do and responded that they did not use AI, because they did not voluntarily do so.

N64 had the challenge that every single game was a circuitboard, so that inflated costs. Nowadays the price is for just the right to download a copy.


Yeah, AAA productions:


Trump didn’t make the leap to directly say to do that, but he did clearly think that strong lights and disinfectant in the body ‘should be looked into’. He was saved from directly making a terrible recommendation by having some amount of deference for the medical organizations, but did try to show ‘thought leadership’ in a very dumb direction.
It was not some sort of Stanford spinning up wild concepts, it was Trump taking very obvious things about how we handle these things outside the body and thinking that we would be the first to ask ‘but what about inside the body?’. Yes, he phrased it as a question to be looked into, but he clearly thought there could be something to it.
About the only credit you can give to first term Trump in this scenario is that he at least ultimately left health issues up to the health departments, even as he groused the whole time.


“Cigarettes can’t hurt you, anything that goes in the lungs you can just blow it back out again”


Nah, President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho at least wanted the smartest man in the world trying to solve problems for him. This administration wouldn’t let a smart man near anything.


That’s just proof that he’s onto something, Big Cancer is afraid to admit that a cheap cancer cure already exists, obviously.
Getting Deja Vu from George W’s “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice . . . . won’t get fooled again”
Of course that was pretty benign compared to this, but always interesting to see the gears turn when they realize the natural flow of their words is very much not what they want to be saying.


You are correct, and the critical number is that sodium is over 3 times as massive as equivalent lithium.
But to keep in perspective, we are talking about an element that’s only about 5-7% of a pack, so theoretically you could maybe get to only 10-15% more massive as a penalty for swapping out lithium. Which is some applications is still unacceptable,but broadly we have seen a lot of accepting that same tradeoff going from NMC to LFP…


Sodium battery performance is better in the cold.
Currently some sodium battery products are out in the market and aren’t appreciably cheaper yet and the answer to ‘why’ was ‘cold weather performance’.


offered his outlandish excuse that he was supposed to be a doctor
It’ll be good enough for his base, who is willing to believe anything to rationalize his behavior.


It was a stunt to try to remind people that he pushed for no taxes on tips, which was a part of both his and Harris’ platforms.
Since inflation is again going up and particularly gas prices are up and he has nearly zero good news, he has to try to milk his tip tax policy as much as he can.


Yes, I’m just unsure when the volumes hit.
Evidently they do seem to indicate a battery intake rate consistent with about 250,000 EV batteries a year.
Globally about 30 million cars are junked a year, so as EV adoption raises then they could reasonably get 8 fold more batteries even while splitting with other companies.
But they have a chokepoint that means they can only use a fraction of the batteries they get already, so more batteries won’t help them right now.


One thing to keep in mind is that the car may outlast the battery, by a fair amount.
If you look at Prius, there’s been a fair amount of battery replacement there. I vaguely recall seeing that first gen Nissan Leaf batteries degraded enough to need replacement fairly quickly. On the flip side, seems the more carefully managed solutions with liquid cooling and maintaining buffers have been more robust than expected.
Still, I ultimately agree with the assessment that the volumes aren’t going to be there for a long time, just that batteries coming out can happen before the car is scrapped. But in terms of volumes, prior to 2019 there just weren’t enough batteries going to be expecting much either way yet.


where one person pretends to be under-18
The performers may be adults, but it seems the key thing is an assertion that one or more of the characters are underage.
Which seems easy enough, two 18 year old step siblings. In fact, I don’t know how often they ever explicitly state an age for a character nor anything that would definitively make them underage otherwise.


It’s also probably relatable to a significant portion of the audience. I wager a fair number of people have experienced a relationship or wanted a relationship stemming from that situation.
Through no choice of yours or theirs, suddenly you are spending a lot of time with someone. From some perspective ‘relatives’, but pratically speaking you have a stranger who is your age move in and you are both 15 to 17 and things happen.
I had a not-blood relation suddenly happen when we were both sixteen, and we ended up dating for a bit. A bit more removed than ‘siblings’, but close enough to spend a lot of time together.
Let’s see. King of the hill, scrubs, and Malcolm in the middle all have new episodes…
Now all we need to complete the vibes is a recently popped tech bubble…


Problem is that broadly most GenAI users don’t take that risk seriously. So far no one can point to a court case where a rights holder successfully sued someone over LLM infringement.
The biggest chance is getty and their case, with very blatantly obvious infringement. They lost in the UK, so that’s not a good sign.
True, but it’s at least a rough indicator, and having intact concrete pricing from back then was a bit challenging, and sears catalog came to me as a very well preserved source of vaguely appropriate pricing.
