Yeah
Breakups suck but have you ever been in love with a product and they discontinued it?

This is obviously some sort of op to purposely drum up hatred towards the tech elite so they can justify regulatory protection right
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

A big generational dividing line for me is if you’ve ever had to “log on” to the internet before
being 30/being a zillennial is really starting to fuck with me recently i keep finding myself saying "that was 15/18 years ago" in conversation, and i keep meeting people who weren't even alive or were in diapers during my childhood and our cultural bases are so fundamentally different a guy told me he'd never seen pokemon, digimon or yugioh because they were before his time i found out that someone i knew when they were like 5 is having kids now i keep hearing about all these youtubers from 2013-2017 as being fundamental parts of peoples childhoods and i have no idea who they are its very unsettling...

Not sure how to put this but European cars used to *look* European. Now they just look completely devoid of any actual design choices

Interesting when someone else’s cognitive expense is your cognitive stimulant
i rented a car this week for few days & my lord i don’t think many ppl realize how cognitively expensive driving is. it requires constant spatial awareness, you gotta predict other ppl’s dumb behaviors, make a fuck ton of micro decisions, etc. like jesus christ i am tired after like 30 min esp on busy city streets. oh & i specifically rented a tesla to avoid this but they don’t even have self driving or option for it because of the liabilities i’m guessing.

It’s an unfortunate overcorrection though. I hate haggling as much as the next guy but if you’re in tune with the value of cars to any degree you will not be okay with what carvana is charging. That being said, the average consumer is not, so here we are
Carvana is slowly gaining marketshare over dealers and I think it's great Buyers would rather gamble on a used car they've never seen clicking a button online than sit at a dealership for 4 hours getting screwed by a "finance manager" hard selling you the paint protection

I wonder how many pop culture fun facts currently in my repertoire were initially learned from Pop Up Video
"Pop-Up Video" debuted on VH1 on this date in 1996, adding a whole new layer to watching music videos. BITE-SIZED FACT | The show filled music videos with pop-up bubbles revealing trivia, behind-the-scenes stories and amusing facts about the artists and songs.

Racing line brought to you by 6 miller lites and shot of Jameson
this is f*cking insane... a guy reverse-engineered his Ray-Ban Meta glasses with Opus 5.5 and turned them into JARVIS for the race track it reads the track in real time, draws the racing line on the asphalt and tells him when to brake, turn in and counter-steer his lap: 1:52.4 → 1:47.1. minus 5.3 seconds in one session here's how it works step by step: step 1 → the glasses stream what he sees to his phone, 30 frames a second step 2 → a vision model finds the asphalt, the curbs and the next corner in every frame, even with his head shaking step 3 → Opus 5.5 plans the racing line: outside → apex → outside, and paints it right on the road step 4 → green = full throttle. red = braking zone. orange = you're in the corner step 5 → before every turn: "BRAKE · 80 m", countdown, then "turn in", then "apex" step 6 → when the rear slides, it shows the drift angle and which way to counter-steer step 7 → the voice in his ear: "brake… now", "hold the apex", "full throttle" step 8 → a mini-map in the corner compares his line with the ideal one and shows the lap delta live under the hood: → no cloud, everything runs on the phone → if it loses the road, the line fades out instead of lying to you → every lap is saved, so it learns where you lose time F1 teams pay millions for a race engineer. he made one out of sunglasses
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Ray-Ban Meta glasses have no display/AR for road overlays; video is rendered visualization. Poster's follow-up shares hypothetical prompt using ~5 fps video call to computer, not claimed 30 fps on-phone real-time. x.com/N01ennn/status… meta.com/ai-glasses/ray… vrarwiki.com/wiki/Ray-Ban_M…

Atrocious, reprehensible vehicle. Something spiritually broken about modern wrangler owners
last time i had a jeep wrangler it was '98, so this past weekend i rented a new one on my little trip to the woods just for fun i was thinking "since these are $50k now, they must have fixed all the wranglerisms with modern technology" and boy was i wrong fuckass vehicle, 3/10

I think the scariest prospect about aging for me is how 75% of people seem to become mentally handicapped after the age of 30. Like how do you avoid that? Is it not having kids? Having kids seems like it might be a big factor to me honestly

I don’t think about other languages at all
my unpopular opinion is that everybody should be looking up definitions of their baby’s potential names in different languages. you can’t seriously name your child laura not knowing what it means in the world’s 3rd most spoken language

Alfa Romeo is done with screens. The brand's head of design said in an interview that it was time to "get rid of the screens" in new cars, and that oversized displays will eventually become obsolete. Read more here: motor1.com/news/813012/alfa-…

Libs love to play the media literacy card and then get absolutely oneshotted by the jingliest possible keys
HBO's @LastWeekTonight has a long track record of citing social science findings without the appropriate context, massaging them to support whatever point @iamjohnoliver is trying to make.
