I doubt he made it up, but it does very much have the vibe of easy kid's food made up by boomer parents for X or early millennial kid. At least one viewer of "Sandwiches of History" had it made for them and sent it in to be reviewed.

I would gently counter that while many of them can be fixed in software, the list is mostly hardware issues or real driving risks. It's a shoddy vehicle that was also poorly coded.

Even completely beyond Elon's personal fuckheadery, which really shouldn't be dismissed, it was still a bad product:

• poor fit and finish
• frequent recalls
• poor durability, including cheaping out on the stainless alloy for one that's barely worthy of the name
• poor truck functionality for the few who would want to use it that way
• pricier than expected
• took a concept design we might generously call polarizing and pooped the production version out the anus of their design process looking less like a Martian armored personnel carrier and more like an unpainted Pontiac Aztek.

I hope that this means thoughtful conversations about how much AI compute infrastructure is actually useful given realistic demand curves, where it should be located, what resources will it require, and, importantly, how the companies that benefit from it will directly share those benefits, as compared to hazy gestures towards "economic development".

I fear that this is just the industry telling us they're about to start lying even more than they have.

Watched a few episodes of S1. It just didn't stick. Felt like The Americans meets Slow Horses, but got the plausible/corny mix more wrong than right, and ended up feeling like a 90s syndicated action show that took itself too seriously.

Can confirm. Am enjoying. DUUUUUUVALLL!

I mean, it’s a little bit sloppy, and we’re beating up on a very injured team, but we are beating up on them. Also, Derek Henry has old bills to pay from Tennessee days.

Honest question, is a current model CrossTrek much smaller than the older Outbacks?

Unfortunately, the trend seems to be in the other direction. Outbacks are getting a little bigger and a lot blockier. You can see the shared DNA with my car's generation, but it's just a little bit worse wherever you look (except inside, apparently) and really looks like a cheap Ford SUV. I think the Toyota collab EV is their only true wagon left, at least aesthetically.

Garum.

I have an Outback from before this stupid Ford-ish redesign, and sometimes I am just in the parking lot like, "Damn, I made the right choice in automobile."

ikr? DM me.

As a response to a motion to dismiss or summary judgment, this is fine. They are pretty similar, and there's a lot of overlap in the creative process with an aborted ER reboot or sequel.

It's fair to ask a finder of fact decide if they're similar enough for it to matter, and, critically, how much the Crichton estate lost due to that. Now they just move on to the part where they can say, "Most shows in an ER are going to have this, that, and the other similarity, and Character X was inspired more by 'Non-ER character Y' than by anyone else."

John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival had a very shitty record deal, and ended up having to literally play his solo stuff in court and describe to the jury why the one CCR swamp-rock riff was different to a later one he wrote for his solo album. He won, but they are pretty darn similar: Run Through the Jungle vs The Old Man Down the Road. The case actually went to the Supreme Court over legal fees calculation, but that's not the relevant point here. Just because we look at something and think it's not very likely to win doesn't mean there's no relevant dispute over facts to resolve.

And the fact that we all know which one she's going to say just turns it all into a compressed shaggy-dog story.
