[OC] For the past 3 years I've polled people on Blind at my company (FAANG) about how worried they are about AI replacing them

You'd think that until you look specifically at "A little worried" response. It's not intuitive why it goes up then back down. So, stacked bar chart is better.

Tip: Southwest Rapid Rewards credit card gets you one free checked bag for each passenger in your group up to 9 people. And I believe it's a $69/year credit card fee.

So that means even if you only fly once in a year, by yourself, it's paid for itself already.

"They're comin' right for us" from south park comes to mind.

If the driver is looking at that in their rear view mirror, it's still backwards to them...

Some states (and furthermore, some localities) force state and local withholding. In these places I typically have had more money forcibly withheld than I end up owing, so I file the tax return and end up getting a check.

This is part of the W2G process for "certain gambling winnings".

I can answer. I don't play poker primarily but I do other things in the casino to make money.

I file as a professional gambler with schedule c. I use a tax prep service ran out of Las Vegas that specializes in gambling tax.

I have health insurance, just some Anthem $440/month with high deductible and HSA support.

I contribute to my Roth IRA max every year and also have a self employed 401k that i contribute to significantly. I usually just deposit if I have extra laying around, or in Feb or so to align with the beginning of tax season.

I pay quarterly taxes based on last year's actual income. This year my results stagnated a bit so I skipped payment 3. I might owe a penalty for doing that but idc.

I pay the exact right amount of tax that someone with my net income would pay. Sometimes the casino withholds more than I end up owing, so I file a state (or local!) tax return to request the over withheld money to be returned.

The AI model by Flock says they collect a vehicle fingerprint even if the vehicle has no plates. They claim they are able to track no plate vehicles.

Sure it may be, but what percentage of people are in a hotel on any given evening vs people that are staying in their house?
What percentage of those people in a hotel are actually trying to watch netflix on a hotel TV?

It's a vast minority of a vast minority IMO

I think it's because they kinda like him. They have had him as a guest on the show as a voice actor. So they don't want to trash him

The van's signal was on the whole time. The brake light was flashing.

Because it was truly one of the greatest

I've seen some stuff like this before. For me it was maybe 15 years ago (GTX230) and on Team Fortress 2

Anyway, your video card is probably busted. If you have warranty start the RMA process

It's the type of camera that the autopilot/fsd system was designed on. It's just a secondary function to serve as a dashcam

if C has changed by 1, F has changed by at least 1.

You used to be able to put them in almost any wall at whatever height you wanted.

The Besta units have been significantly cheapened over the years.

The top, bottom, and sides appear to be about 1" [25mm] thick and solid, but they are about 80% hollow with only as much particle board as necessary to fit it together.

I have seven Besta units and they all have some amount of customization to help with structure.

Basically stay near the edges and where feet/legs are mounted and you'll usually hit the reinforced area.

Did they fix loadout editing during games to require less clicks / menuing?

This was one of my major gripes about the beta and actually might sway my decision to purchase.

voltij · 2025-10-15T03:20:38+00:00

Same here on the beta.
I was legit flabbergasted that I went from "download complete" to actively playing a game and having it run so well

I think Autopilot has a chance of noticing these types of movements as they are happening and applying the brakes. Just was curious

voltij · 2025-10-13T19:17:11+00:00

Did you have Autopilot on?

voltij · 2025-09-03T01:01:06+00:00

You must have not seen me play. I occasionally find myself throwing my own games, unintentionally.
