Agreed. F-150 has far more commercial applications than the Cybertruck.

In practice, both are often used as expensive toys.

Re:Our partnership with Google and commitment to socially responsible AI
on Thursday February 29, 2024 @04:09PM (#39555132)
Today, we announced an exciting new partnership with Google to bring Google's Gemini to Stack Overflow and to provide Stack Overflow content directly within Google Cloud. The story of this partnership started about 16 years ago - with you, the community that made Stack Overflow what it is: the internet’s predominant resource for high-quality curated technical Q&A. This resource is ubiquitous and invaluable today, but it took countless hours of hard work and dedication from many community members to get it to this point.
In an ever-evolving world, we’re always looking for new ways to get this repository in front of the world’s technologists: those who can benefit from it and contribute back to it. And with this new joint initiative with Google, we’re laying the groundwork for this reality.
As Ryan said in our announcement today on the blog, with this and future partnerships, “Our mission is to set new standards with vetted, trusted, and accurate data that will be the foundation on which technology solutions are built and delivered to our users.”

Re:Germany Gross Domestic Product Down 0.3% in 2023
on Tuesday January 16, 2024 @04:50AM (#39011439)
Really sad to see Europe spiral back into stagnation.
"In 2008, the eurozone and the US had equivalent gross domestic products (GDP) at current prices of $14.2 trillion and $14.8 trillion respectively (€13.1 trillion and €13.6 trillion). Fifteen years on, the eurozone's GDP is just over $15 trillion, while US GDP has soared to $26.9 trillion."
Any thoughts as to the disparity in growth? How do we correct course? Do we need to?

Re:Ray Dalio ran Bridgewater like the global strongmen he admired
on Monday November 13, 2023 @07:00PM (#38257040)
I don't think you should've been downvoted. The articles covering this topic all seem intent on painting Bridgewater as the Branch Davidians of Wall St. (a view I somewhat agree with), so it's nice to see another perspective. If you have some time, can you answer my questions:
- How was your time there?
- What was your role at the company?
- What was the interview process like?
- Can you describe what a normal day looked like for you?
- How often did you interact with RD?
- What was the book's biggest mischaracterization/exaggeration of RD/BW?
- What was the book's most accurate assessment?
- Why did you get fired? What was the firing process like (any NDAs/noncompetes)?

For those interested: _Generally_, Bay Area natives will refer to highways as "280", "101", maybe even "Highway X".
SoCal natives (and many others) will, _generally_ say: "the 101", "the 280", etc.
Re:Bumble bees drop to shake off Asian hornets

Murder hornets are Asian _giant_ hornets.
"Since its discovery in North America, the scientific literature and official government sources refer to this species by its established common name, Asian giant hornet, whilst the mainstream media have taken to using the nickname "murder hornet".[23][24][25] In July 2022, the Entomological Society of America stated that they will adopt the common name northern giant hornet for the species to avoid potentially discriminatory language, citing the rise in anti-Asian sentiment and hate crimes in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic."
