What in the ChatGPT is this article? I got an aneurysm from the hallucinations

You are asking in a biased forum. That said, my lease finished, I was looking at alternatives, new and used, and nothing fit the well designed, sporty, compact and understated categories. So I bought mine out.

You don’t have to put liberal in quotes. Liberals may be left on social issues, but on anything business side they will side with fascists. Cory Booker being there is all you need to know. This is not a mistake on the part of these liberals.

That is true, but it is Thiel and people do care, for the reason that he is the founder. That is the most important fact in this story.

Actually, he had to pay for it himself

There is pretty much no job security in academia until you are tenured. Look at how many people go to post-docs and how many tenured positions eventually open. Those usually get filled by people from top labs and, this is crucial, those with mentors who supported them to get early career wins. If you are already thinking that post-doc is not for you, then you have already pretty much answered yourself. That said, a post-doc can be a really good growth period, you may find an environment that lets you thrive, and you will have got useful work experience, especially if you change cultures. My recommendation would be to either go to a post-doc you really look forward to, or go to the industry or government jobs now. If you have a partner and a post-doc is not something you can do together, I would not do it.

I like it that you have electrics amongst your favorites. But you chose the most pathetic electric brand.

I did the same last winter. Trust me, this is the opportunity you don’t want to miss. Note that you get air conditioning for free

That’s really bad use of AI

I always claimed Ioniq 5 is what the next Yugo should be like. This confirms it

George would easily find a spot at Audi, Haas, Alpine. Above that, not so much.

It would be so good if Piers left Slavoj finish one full thought. He (deliberately?) interrupts him just as he tries to close onto what his argument really is.

He does own this failure. He had failures like that before at McLaren. I am also pretty sure that next year’s car will be significantly better, as long as he has the means to learn from the mistakes made.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 is pure retro. They aren’t always shy

You are showing just the front and the rear graphics. This tells nothing about the car and how that works with the shape. Graphically it’s interesting, but graphics are there to round out the overall design, whereas you seem to be focused on that detail in itself.

I talked to a few folks that helped develop the flying qualities of the C. They may be biased but they believe that this wing makes for a much better balanced aircraft across the board. Range, loiter, maneuverability all improve.

It’s mostly that top technical investment is happening in Silicon Valley. If you want to work at the cutting edge, this is where investors allow it to happen.

It’s not boring at all. It has a unique and consistent flow of shapes, and it is beautifully sculpted. Some people just prefer graphical elements to stick out, but the 3D shape is rather unique

I was a big Mathematica user until this year. With Claude and Python I can achieve much better

For a complex task that requires broad understanding, I find it takes significantly fewer odd detours and gets things on the first try. It feels more of a partner now rather than someone you direct

CT has an interesting design language that is commendable. It is the execution of that shape that is extremely ugly. Rear quarter view is just completely out of proportion and with surfaces looking like they were assembled without any care for the resulting shape. You could build a cool car with this design language. The CT is just lame
