https://historynet.com/unstart-over-murmansk/> “The airplane yawed to the right so far and so fast, it felt like it was going sideways!” said Osterheld. The SR-71’s right engine had just experienced an “intake unstart.”
Doesnt seem like a "hiccup" would "tear apart" if one engine failing entirely (intake unstart) didn't.
Misleading comment.

> Cutaneous melanoma (CM) accounted for around 331,700 cancer cases globally in 2022
> An estimated 267,353 (95% uncertainty intervals [UI]: 242,818, 278,638) CM cases were UVR attributable globally in 2022
UVR = Ultraviolet radiation
Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the vast majority of melanoma cases in the US at least:
> The percentages of melanomas that were cutaneous, ocular, mucosal, and unknown primaries were 91.2%, 5.2%, 1.3%, and 2.2%, from https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9781962/
tl;dr ~80% of Cutaneous melanoma cases are attributable to UV exposure.
> This also means that you are likely to get melenoma form something other than the sun.
Quantifiably false statement. Incredibly dangerous misinformation to spread—shame on you.

> Question: A fair die rolling a 6 twice in a row is more likely than rolling 1-2-3-4-5-6 in sequence
Two 6s in a row is 1/36 chance (1/6)^2
1-2-3-4-5-6 is a 1/46656 chance (1/6)^6
Website is claiming they are the same probability:
> Same probability: 1/46,656 — Both outcomes have exactly the same probability: (1/6)^6 = 1/46,656. This illustrates the representativeness heuristic — random-looking sequences feel more probable than ordered ones.
Website's "answer" is wrong: was the question supposed to be rolling a 6 six times in a row?
Its actually not "pretty clear"—about 25-30% of people are hyper responders who are impacted by dietary cholesterol.
I mean these analogies could be applied to AI image gen too. Open up an image gen tool and press generate. Do you get a great image? No, because you didn’t even enter a prompt.
Cruise has been operating in Phoenix for many years now.
I love and share this view—whenever a website uses dark patterns like this to try and get me to do something I just close the website and thank them for helping me reduce my screen time!
Best way to block people on Twitter after this: delete Twitter.
A temperate outage that only impacted sites that happened to critique or compete with Musk?
> HN discussion did not particlarly have "reasonable skepticism".
That’s definitely not true despite your attempts to gaslight us.
> If that claim breaks down whenever the driving conditions are anything other than perfect, then self driving cars lose their only supposed benefit
False dilemma: value from self driving cars is a sliding scale, not all or nothing.
> The biggest beneficiary of Webvan’s failure was Amazon.com. Not only did the company learn from the mistakes made by Webvan, but it also hired former Webvan executives to launch its own grocery delivery service: Amazon Fresh. Further, in 2012, Amazon bought KIVA Systems, a company that developed the robotic technology initially used in Webvan distribution facilities, for $775 million. Amazon even owns the domain webvan.com.
Never heard of this company before but found this very interesting. Good read.
Strawman: no one said loud guests are the norm.
You have any studies stating the opposite, that heart attacks are falling for folks under 50?
On top of that, my car can remember the MPGs I got for the last tank (and every tank before that) and estimates my range off of that. Apparently that’s “magic” according to the comment you replied to. Tesla apologists always have some excuse.
Wealthiest religion in the world, they have massive real estate holdings.
This has been asked over and over again in this thread.

Well, considering it was trained from content created from how people actually write, yes?
Hasn’t TX had multiple years of grid failures? Not really a “black swan event” if it keeps happening.
“The organization also found that Tesla, which is often lauded for its sophisticated technology, was not a paragon of reliability, ranking dead-last among brands”
You’re in this thread multiple times saying “5 million years ago…” “3 million years ago…” no one is fooled by your attempts to gaslight us on how serious our situation is today.
Average commute time is actually less than 30 minutes each way.
And people wonder why companies don’t like remote work…
Definitely don’t agree with this at all. Go sit in a VW then sit in an Audi, or Toyota/Lexus, Hyundai/Genesis and tell me they are of the same quality. They are not.
Oh don’t get me wrong, I test drove the Polestar 2 and liked it—miles better interior than the Model 3—but them being made in China was a deal breaker. I’m trying to buy less things made in China and dropping $60k on a Chinese vehicle doesn’t really fit that goal. Plus the shady software as you mention.
How do you ensure what the LLM generates is legally accurate?
Personally I’d never buy a car made in China. Related, I find it pretty strange Volvo is trying to establish a luxury brand (Polestar) but instead of building Polestars in Sweden they are building them in China.
