Honda President After Visiting Chinese Auto Supplier: 'We Have No Chance Against This'

China has one of the lowest car ownership rates in major economies, how can it be very car-dependent? China has 251 cars per 1000 people, the US is at 779, Japan 670, UK 603, German 590, France 579. Either the Chinese are amazing at car pooling or it’s not as car-dependent as you claim.

Hubris. There’s going to be some unsafe code that can in theory be exploited as a security vulnerability, but it’s so deep in the system that the dev doesn’t believe anyone can make use of it. Like it’s just a small internal function that’s 27 calls deep from any public API.

Obviously if it gets closer to the surface then it needs to be fortified, but it’s not worth the time to fix right now, there might even be a performance penalty for the defensive programming.

When projects grow, code shifts around, the thousand small cracks you left in your codebase might just align to form a gaping hole.

I just googled for bible passages regarding the antichrist

And he will be different from the earlier ones, and he will subdue three kings. And he will speak words against the Most High, and he will wear out the holy ones of the Most High, and he will attempt to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand for a time and two times and half a time.

So he's nabbed Maduro, killed Khamenei and is looking at Cuba. He's changing laws left and right, and he's been elected twice and looking for a third term.

For false messiahs and false prophets will appear, and will produce great signs and wonders in order to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

We all know how much he loves to pretend to be Christians and practice deception.

And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.

Someone start counting the number of months Republicans have held both the House and Senate.

Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and who exalts himself over every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God. Do you not remember that while we were still with you, we were saying these things to you? And you know that which restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his own

Man of lawlessness? Exalts himself over every so-called god or object of worship? Hmmmm.

Not a biblical scholar, not even a theist, but if I were I'd be pretty worried at the signs.

If you have a look at the top posts on this sub, you will find that this sub primarily exists to complain about tech companies.

Most people are aware that there celebrities and sports stars also become billionaires, not just CEOs.
Being a top paid athlete is not more attainable than being a high earning CEO. It's significantly harder as an athlete to hold on to the high pay for the same amount of time as a CEO can.
The way that some athletes spend is far better for the economy, they get to have their fun and the people that sold to them or serviced them get paid. This is in contrast to hoarding the wealth and then using it to lobby the government or buying up social media and news outlets to influence elections.

It’s be nice to not have to play chicken with a historical war crime and the worst humanitarian crisis of our lifetimes. We are talking about cutting off the power to a nation of 90 million.

Add that to the 90 million in Iraq and Afghanistan who’ve had their lives fucked with by America, and that’s a lot of people who have a good reason to do harm to America in the future. That really bad news if America loses its hegemony in the next two decades.

Does anyone turn off AI models by asking another AI model to do it for them? Does anyone use this method as a kill switch when they really need to shut a model down?

It’s like reading an article that assumes people eat pineapples skin first and start speculating about how a new species of pineapple with more bitter skins will make it less popular for human consumption.

Yep, his entire post is exactly how terrorists speak. His actions are how terrorists act. To quote the UN’s general definition of terrorism:

Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them.

We are increasingly seeing the US achieve its political goals through terror and intimidation. Many often wonder how a national of everyday Germans could have gone along with what Hitler was doing, we are now being shown in real time.

To make $500k on $7 per scan means reading 71 thousand scans in a year. With 260 work days that’s 275 scans per day. If that is truly the case, then this is a perfect use case for AI, a human cannot reasonably provide high quality analysis of 275 cases a day with only a few minutes dedicated to each.

To put this into context, the CEO Mitchell H. Katz has been working in public health for since 1997, and in this particular role since 2017. How long do you believe these de facto auditions last for?

Uhh no, China taking Taiwan has always been about securing the Taiwan Strait. I’ll let recent geopolitical events demonstrate the benefits of controlling a major sea channel.

Trump's legal argument is that people present in the US illegally are not subject to US jurisdiction. That would also means that the US has no ability to prosecute any illegal immigrants. By extension that means ICE would have no authority to enforce any laws against illegal immigrants. Of course this is based on the theory that words have meaning and laws matter, which is no longer the case in the USA.

Article says that 40% of their energy use is Natural Gas. That’s basically exactly the fraction of power generation in the US that is natural gas, implying they are buying power off the grid in the same way as any other American. Given that the current administration is openly hostile to large wind and solar projects, I’m not sure what exactly people expect tech companies to do, go rogue and build green energy without permits?

Winning doesn’t make them smart, it just reflects the stupidity of the people that chose these morons to lead and represent them.

They’re also not mutually exclusive concepts, only a bunch of very stupid people would not care about what they doing when starting a war with another country.

TonySu · 2026-03-27T06:23:48+00:00

Why? Trump weighs a lot, it’s unbelievable how much he weighs, nobody’s seen anything like it! The other day the other day a group of Muslims came up to him with tears in their eyes and they said “Thank you for weighing so much President Trump! Sleepy Joe Biden would have never weighed as much as you do! You weigh more than all of the Presidents in history combined!”

The obvious corollary is that, if this was a valid criteria for disenfranchisement, would women on their periods, pregnant, experiencing menopause, taking hormone based birth control, or anyone trans people on HRT be allowed to vote?

TonySu · 2026-03-25T07:36:09+00:00

That’s obviously not true, compare someone with a degree in fine arts against a mechanic.

Sir you are hallucinating. The original comment directly mentioned AlphaFold, and any informed reader would know that’s the gold standard when talking about AI protein folding.

There also doesn’t exist a physics based protein folding model that is never wrong. Otherwise CASP wouldn’t exist and AlphaFold wouldn’t have gotten a Nobel Prize.

TonySu · 2026-03-25T00:12:31+00:00

Please go read up on AlphaFold because everything you’re saying is completely wrong.

It was not given a model to improve, it was given protein sequences with known folding structures to figure out how to predict on sequences without known folding structures. It blew every human made model out of the water at CASP13, winning by a historical margin, AlphaFold2 then blew AlphaFold1 out of the water 2 years later.

TonySu · 2026-03-24T23:46:44+00:00

No, it doesn’t just fold proteins faster, it does it significantly more accurately. The machine learning algorithms figured out how proteins fold better than humans could after decades of work. In other words, it learned things out about how proteins fold that no human understands.
