The drive unit was a BYD
and the battery turned out to be an SAIC
And when went to connect it all the plugs were gone
So we wired it up do that it would fit and with little help from a firmware update
we had that motor running just like a song

Someday I need to invest some time in understanding the British economy because everything I read is like “the government spends half the money in the economy, professionals earn less than a manager at Panda Express, a home costs $2M”
an underrated part of the British crisis is that the justice system is under massive strain, not least because criminal barristers are often being paid *less for taking a case than their costs in doing so.*.

This is like “Lizza should have to testify before congress” bad
well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

First electric cars and buses, now trucks: in the past we were often told that electric trucks would not be feasible.
But the market is picking up speed and electric trucks have become a reality. Expectations are for significant market expansion in the coming years.

And this is why the model appeals so strongly to ego, if the system has no real rules for choosing or constraining the sovereign, supporters can imagine themselves, their allies, or their ideals sitting close to the centre of power. It’s an aspirational fantasy for those engulfed in self-delusion.

This is what I hate about all AI being flattened into LLMs so that the big labs can claim they will do everything computer by 2030
Accounting has been automated for decades with algorithmic software
That's what TurboTax is
The downsides of LLMs -- hallucinations and poor customer service -- make it useless for accounting when the existing non-AI software automation already solve the problem better

Back in 2019, @ntsbnewsroom.bsky.social did a bike safety report. They analyzed a big sample of US cyclist fatalities, and found that a plurality were hit from behind by a driver away from an intersection. You can’t VC your way out of that.
They recommended separated bike lanes to mitigate risk.
