It’s not an issue with limitations of current technology. In some cases it’s just greed and laziness. I’ve had two vehicles that have the ability to be more friendly to other drivers, but that functionality is only enabled outside of the U.S. (matrix headlights or the equivalent).

GM vehicles had been notorious for having poorly adjusted headlights from the factory. The fact that Xenon systems seemed to always come with auto leveling and LED often does not is crazy.


emphasis on "other drivers." AFAIK, matrix headlights do not handle cyclists, pedestrians, or animals, but I would be glad to hear otherwise.


AI slop.


They’re fantastic imo. Don’t connect to them to the internet.


Then put the warehouse on the first floor and put the store on top.

Lots of big cities have grocery stores with parking garages under them, doesn’t seem much different.


The difference is the 100x the cost to build it and the completely different amounts of foot traffic and margins available in dense city centers. Nobody is going to build such a store if their return on investment is expected 50-100 years down the road.


Inner city high rise construction is entirely different from tip-up and bolt together single-story box stores in the suburbs.


You should still give it a try. Can’t speak for their experience, but doesn’t ring true for me.


+1, it had a bad period when they were hyperscaling up, but IME they've found their pace (very) recently - I almost ditched cursor in the summer, but am a quite happy user now.


The man was prosecuted and the jury found him not guilty.

I would be curious to know what their reasoning was.

I think mine would be that since these agents seem to face absolutely no consequences for their far more egregious actions. Why should something so minor result in jail time. To be clear, I’m not talking about their lawful actions. I’m talking about them assaulting and abusing people and excessive use of force that’s been captured on camera all across the country.


The agents statement was also apparently a lie. Photos showed the sandwich was still in its wrapper on the ground after according to other articles like this one https://reason.com/2025/11/06/d-c-jury-acquits-sandwich-guy-...


This has been a pattern with these petty prosecutions. It seems like video that shows they embellished / lied comes out time and again. A number of protests have had a series of charges dropped when video showed they were lying about the events.


Fair question. The jury in this case decided it wasn’t assault.

My hypothesis is that people generally feel that police face little to no accountability and so there is a more serious double standard to contend with.


Are you sure you’re not conflating knowledge with intelligence?


Yeah no I don’t think intelligence works like that.

There’s not some core reasoning engine in your brain that is independent of your knowledge. The two are intertwined.

Some people are better at reasoning about politics vs maths, for example, because they have both the knowledge, skills, and experience to understood how such systems work vs a mathematician who does not.


True, but more and wider references seems to imply better when I’m not sure that’s true. Wikipedia is edited and it’s sources are curated. I think that’s a good thing.


> it’s sources are curated. I think that’s a good thing.

Larry Sanger, Wikipedia's founder, does not.

Larry Sanger, the person who accuses Wikipedia of "smear campaigns against conservatives" [0] and begs Elon Musk to investigate whether members of the administration are contributing to Wikipedia [1] and to immediately defund them. That Larry Sanger.

Yes. You can find his accusations of smear campaigns against conservatives and his evidence to support it in the link in the comment you just replied to.

Also:

“Wikipedia co-founder here. May I ask you to determine what branches of the U.S. government—if any!—have employees paid to edit, monitor, update, lobby, etc., WIkipedia?”

Is an excellent question.
