Why do EVs get reserved parking spaces anyway?

15·2 天前I work there. Not many people know that Hanford even exists, but it’s nice to see an optimistic article rather than one comparing it to Chernobyl or something.
It’s hurtful that they think I’d even be threatening and nasty. That they just immediately assume I’m some kind of monster. It makes me feel like I have no value.
Sure, but I can fix a carburetor with a wrench and a screwdriver. Can’t do that with modern cars.
“What kind of polish did you use on this table? The sheen is ridiculous! Send a bottle of whatever it is back with Darth Maul”
Is it just me or do places not do reservations anymore? Every place now just has a “waiting list” which is worthless for planning your evening around, since you have to be nearby when they text you or they’ll just cancel you and give it to the next person
15·2 个月前Because a significant proportion of the country is also batshit.

A man can dream.
Great story, but it descended too far into muscle-wank for my liking.
When I was a kid, my family went to go visit some extended family in rural southern France. It was going to be over Halloween, and since the French don’t celebrate it, we brought some American Halloween candy for them to try. To our surprise, they loved it, especially the Reese’s cups. We had expected them to find it gross, since they had much higher quality chocolate in Europe.
And yet there can never, and will never, be a situation where an infinite number of people are tied to a railroad track. So this thought experiment is meaningless.
Okay, so what’s the point of “proving” that there some “infinities” are “bigger” than others? What’s the practical application here? Because an infinite hotel with an infinite number of guests is physically impossible, so I don’t see the point.
3·3 个月前I’ve been trying to think of a way to have a nuanced discussion about art and AI, but hesitant to do so since people online can get incredibly vitriolic about it if they suspect that I’m in favor of AI. For the record I dislike AI being shoved in my face, from the uncanny-valley line art to the shovelware game apps that I keep seeing ads for.
To get to the point, I’m struggling to understand the moral difference between an AI model scraping art to use as training data, or an aspiring artist studying it to learn how to make it themselves. In both cases, the original artist has posted their work to a public website fully knowing that people will look at it. What’s the difference between an AI model vs a human learning from it? And how is it theft when the product is demonstrably different from the original?
I want to be clear that I just want to understand the logical underpinning of the arguments, and not arguing for one side or the other.
I’ve never seen a parking spot with a gas pump in front of it.
