I don't think I could even imagine a business that would benefit more from having electric chargers outside than Buccees. Hilariously short sighted of them.

I don't think it's that, but I can usually see an American by their dumbass shoes

All you have to do as a CEO is shut the fuck up and let your product do the talking. The less I hear about your shit views the more likely I am to stay with your product.

The hardware to run them on an individual level is relatively cheap, the required passthrough for anthropic/openAI is that they reclaim their training costs.

There is no chargeable "real cost". Chinese companies are making highly effective distilled models that can run on any decent hardware. The second the AI companies start cranking up the cost, methods of using the free models will come forward.

So basically we have a technology that puts everyone out of a job and doesn't even make any money for the producers. Stunning.

I'm all in on solar for most places.

Sure it uses a bit more land, but it makes no noise, no pollution, there's zero risk of an accident, no targets for terrorism and your grid isn't completely shut down if it is somehow turned offline.

You don't depend on others for your own resilience. No need for oil, gas or uranium.

Unless you live in the high northern latitudes, there is almost no reason to not be building a durable and resilient battery-renewable grid

1. Trump's cabinet would sign off on that
2. Equally a simulated perceived threat would cause MAD

In Queens and Staten Island there is substantially more parking available for free, they're neighbourhoods with more standard American detached homes and driveways.

In NYC itself, owning a car is pointless as you can get anywhere faster by either walking, cycling or metro, and you won't need to play the "drive around for an hour game" to find a parking spot. The richest New Yorkers will tend to live in newer buildings which have underground carparks and a space associated with them, or the option to rent one.

I agree that they are a really creepy bunch of people with very large egos, but I'm not sure about it being an organised cult.

I will say that I would absolutely hate to receive an invite to these disgustingly crusty orgies.

I think it's less about the railway and more about standardisation of materials/building codes

With my socialist European collective bargaining agreement I would only be working 5 months in a year if that was my usual workweek
