- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 2 days ago:
I’d rather have a car that drives better than a typical cabby or uber driver.
Waymo has arguably been there for a while now. I’ll Uber outside of their coverage area, and take the autonomous car with in it. Every other Uber driver in my area is making late lane choices, tailgating, cutting people off, talking to me about how the world works, etc. The Waymos don’t do any of that shit.
Having experienced FSD, I can honestly say, Waymo’s LiDAR system is way better. It doesn’t do this terrifying shit.

The domain was owned by a company that was using it for Gawker-like blog spam for several years, but Rose just bought the domain back 2 months ago and they’re getting ready to relaunch.

Nah, Kevin Rose acquired Digg in March.

No fabric to soak up fluids, they’re light, they don’t easily slip.
They’re pretty common in North American hospitals.

Well, there’s your problem
- Comment on Twitch is getting vertical livestreams 3 weeks ago:
Looks like this is an opt-in, supplemental crop mode, for streamers who have stuff that would work well for vertical orientations. Talking head stuff, live solo-artist music, etc.
The existing content experience is still there, but if you’re standing on the subway, and you’re watching a streamer react to a press release about a game, you can turn your phone and watch them babble in landscape while you hold the poll.

- Comment on Developer Builds Tool That Scrapes YouTube Comments, Uses AI to Predict Where Users Live 4 weeks ago:
This is something an LLM can do really well, really easily, with little engineering effort.
The cat is out of the bag. Most of us have a bunch of unstructured comment data that is peppered with references to local weather, policies, sports, etc. Determining what city or what district you live in is, sadly, not hard in this day and age.
This only requires a quick integration and some promo engineering. Assume people are already doing it.
- Comment on Toilet Time 4 weeks ago:
I have that exact same Toto toilet tank in the states.
Buttons are more common on dual flush toilets. One button is for a small flush, the other button (or both pressed at once) is a larger flush. These toilets are pretty common in parts of the world where water is in short supply and or expensive.
Lever based dual flush systems also exist, but they’re usually less common. You push for one type of flush and pull for the other.
That said, my folks have old push button toilets from the late 70’s. They’re single flush, and the button is side mounted. The buttons were just cool for the sake of cool, and lots of American plumping supply places still sell new parts for these toilets.
TL;DR: they exist in the US, but you’ll see a lot more out in the dry ass west.

Re that sagging flush button.
It’s a 2 second fix. Under the lid there is a little white plastic bar with threaded nut. Turn the nut to raise the bar and raise that button.

- Comment on VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI 4 weeks ago:
There is another major reason to do it. Businesses are often in multi year contracts with call center solutions, and a lot of call center solutions have technical integrations with a business’ internal tooling.
Swapping out a solution requires time and effort for a lot of businesses. If you’re selling a business on an entirely new vendor, you have to have a sales team hunting for businesses that are at a contract renewal period, you have to lure them with professional services to help with implementation, etc.
