How much of this is the cost of optics versus the additional cost of a car to which the optics can be mounted? I understood a few years ago that Waymo was planning a fleet of cheap Geelys to reduce that cost, which obviously has some issues now for US business.

I imagine you can do this using some sort of angular momentum analogue on their post history in whatever embedding their LLMs use.

Bluesky moderation won't be effective until it can label posts by whether the poster has a core of inner serenity, or whether the post comes from sourceless swirling anger. User gets to choose which they want to see.

Countering the much-publicised debut of an "AI actress" by debuting a "frog actress". She's just a frog. You imagine what she's saying as she hops around in the movie. She's saying you must change your life.

Bonn is pretty boring though. Not a huge loss is what I'm saying.

That probably won't help. The legacy planning profession operate entirely in the open. And personal attacks won't get us anywhere.

You're not really YIMBY if you won't let me build 60,000 men from clay, inscribe their foreheads with the names of the builders of Solomon's Temple, animate them with my blood and set them to completing the Great Work. Are you not aware of the construction workforce issues in this country?
