impudence

Like others have said: Tesla is the bath guy here. I'm pretty sure most people are focused on the other ways Tesla has been fing around that they just haven't gotten this far down the list.

Also, there's something special about tractors. Their owners (farmers) are both willing and capable of repairing tractors, in general, so John Deere is demonized for taking that ability away. Where as Tesla's owners are comfortable not changing their own oil, so "less" was taken away. (Yes, I know Tesla doesn't have engine oil, don't get hung up on that)

A tractor - and all farm equipment - is ridiculously expensive, the core platform is not much different from previous generations and they are used by a respected segment of our society to grow us food. All of this adds up to make JD's impact large and feel much worse than the relative nitpicks we have with many car manufacturers.

>yet here is a one of those foundational stories

I don't think this is a "foundational story". I, for one, am a Christian and I have never heard of these people. I also don't recognize any "Saints"

>Yes you may vilify the out group but are the basic dynamics of helping your fellow person out really so different across space and time?

I believe that the bible teaches the purpose of life is to glorify the God of the universe. If a religion's "purpose of life" is about "interacting with other humans, and not about God" then we have opposing "purposes". I saw something similar about Secular Humanists: they claimed they align with the bible "Love God and love your Neighbor"... but they don't believe God exists, so they - on a fundamental level - can't follow thay commandment.

The Bible teaches a lot of different things. It's not one message, as much as people want it to be.

>Also I only realized after finishing the article what a breath of fresh air it was to read something that came straight from another human's brain without LLM intermediation.

I found it a little difficult to follow

The article mentions: a 3rd party company will scrub the data amd Google will promise not to attempt to reconstruct PII from the data.

That is good enough for me. If they violate their promise to the judge, the court can lay the hammer down on them

Good, they never break promises, so it should be fine. It also implies you can reconstruct personal information from the data. Perfect.

Maybe we can all be blessed with 2 quarters from a multi-year class action in a decade

Don't forget the eventual settlement for $10 worth of coupons for purchases at the company.

How is the court going to ensure they stick to that promise? Or is this basically just a pinky promise?

Yes, but did they _pinky promise?_

Here, you dropped this: /s

I love the /s

What about the obituary?

Please elaborate?

People are still buying German cars and Hugo Boss clothing aren’t they?

Germany made it illegal to display Nazi symbols and espouse their beliefs. (And hung a few.)

A bit of a lesson learned, in part, from not spanking the Confederacy's leadership enough.

I had to think carefully, but I think they’re implying that the worst thing the US has done is invent Twitter, and comparing it to the worst thing that Europe has done (implying that that’s the holocaust), and that Europeans specifically(?) are being hyperbolic about the state of the US given the contrast between the two?

I used it to write SQL and make dashboards. Back in the day, I would spend a lot of time doing that, then I changed roles. I dipped my toe in it recently and used AI exclusively. I would send a prompt, see the output, decide if that is what I wanted or not. I kept my brain in "what-if mode" and I let the LLM handle the technical specs.

'What-if' mode is a game changer. And underrated.

The cost of prototyping has crashed. So you can A/B/C... various ideas, test them in the real world or by personal preference, to taste, and converge on designs that work for you.

This used to very hard and expensive. Now it's so cheap it makes the idea -> test -> refine loop much tighter and faster.

>The cost of prototyping has crashed. So you can A/B/C... various ideas)

Oh yes! I would think "I wonder how the data would look if I did X" and feel the pain of complicated SQL... but then the LLM would just do it and I got to see if I liked or not! It was a delight

I'm about to start a job where I expect AI to be a critical part. I will use AI to translate legal jargon to "simple English"
