  Wireless is also critical, but I’m starting to think your confusion is more around grammar than technology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If internet means wires, then how come my mobile phone gets connected to the internet ? I'm roaming everywhere with it inside my pocket.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Underwater cables being used for parts of the internet is not the same thing as “internet means wires.”

  That’s not quite right. Projectors make headlights less blinding. It would be worse if we still used basic reflectors. Also, not all vehicles use expensive LED headlights.

  Back to your original argument: you aren’t saying you think an IR HUD would be less complicated than a cheap halogen bulb in a projector, are you? Because that would be rediculous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a lot more that goes into to than you think. A camera and HUD will never be as cheap as a bulb and a reflector.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course the cost would come down (slightly) if a new tech goes mainstream, but you don’t think an IR HUD could become as cheap as regular headlights, do you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still not sure we’re in agreement, but maybe we are? I’m saying the US auto market has never had enough influence to block a cost-effective safety feature from appearing on foreign markets. Another person pointed out that the IR HUD was used on a luxury car and the high cost probably prevented its widespread use.

  I’m sorry, are you correcting my post or yours? I was speaking in the past tense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’re over estimating the amount of influence the US auto market has had.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A German auto company isn’t going to pull a safety feature from the EU, South American, and Asian markets just because it’s banned in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Was it banned in other countries too, or is there some other reason it isn’t used?

  I get your point, and mostly agree, but the companies developing closed models are sometimes selling data center services to the real miners - the SV startups that are building products with AI, who are burning a ton of money on tokens. The data centers are making a profit, and will mostly be fine when the bubble pops. So Nvidia is clearly a shovel seller, and SV startups are clearly miners, but the analogy starts to break down when you look at Google, MS, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨try out my AI agent bro, it'll change your life bro, I swear...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO the Silicon Valley startups are the miners, and companies like Nvidia, Anthropic, and OpenAI are the shovel sellers. And from that perspective there aren’t that many shovel sellers.

  “completely degrading” - sounds like an oxymoron… “degraded” means it’s partially functioning, not completely working but not completely broken either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You seem to be shifting the goal posts. None of the articles your linked to are about deficiencies in the ADA - in fact, your first link says this about it:

  This act was so influential in improving challenges experienced by PWDs that its anniversary is celebrated annually through Disability Pride parades; these parades are typically held in large cities such as New York City and Chicago.

  I never claimed America does more for disabled people than other countries. There are a lot of ways that we fall short. But when it comes to the ADA, it exceeds everything I’ve seen in foreign countries, and I’m proud of it.

  I also understand that Denmark has laws that require a certain level of accessibility in public buildings. I never denied that, but I still maintain that their requirements are not equivalent to the ADA. So for, they seem to be inferior.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This article makes it sound like Denmark does, on occasion, flip the bird to disabled people. Can you share any counter-evidence that shows Denmark has a law that’s equivalent to the ADA?

  The core issue is political and structural. Responsibility for disability policy is spread across multiple ministries with no coordination, long-term vision, or accountability mechanisms. People with disabilities and their families navigate a patchwork system that often fails to meet even basic needs.

  This affects every aspect of daily life. Healthcare access remains unequal. Public transport and housing are not fully accessible. Participation in cultural and democratic life, including voting, is limited for too many. Even Denmark’s emergency preparedness plans overlook people with disabilities, leaving those who rely on electricity, medicine, or personal assistance uncertain about how they would manage during a crisis.

  Your attitude is off putting, by the way. I’m glad most people I’ve met in Europe are more pleasant than you’re being.

  True, but ignoring those old buildings, how many countries in Europe and Asia have laws like the ADA for new buildings? And sidewalks?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You really don’t realize how much had been done to support people who have difficulties walking, hearing, etc. until you travel in Europe or Asia with someone who needs assistance. Walkable cities are great if you can walk, but you don’t notice the lack of wheelchair ramps unless you need them yourself or are traveling with someone who needs them.

  As an American, the ADA is definitely something to be proud of.

  And they’re getting away with it because they understand how the legal system works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yale Posting It's Ls⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like those schools were successful in teaching them how our legal system works and how to use it to advance their own goals. Seems like the only thing they didn’t learn is ethics, but their understanding of our legal system is pretty solid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨genius⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People think private pilots are rich because airplanes are expensive. They’re not - they might be upper-middle class (with a mortgage and other debt) but most have to budget their aviation spending. Truly wealthy people don’t fly their own planes, they hire pilots and crew, and probably have no idea what a Jesus nut looks like.

  That said, this is obviously satire/bait.

  If they have video of you leaving the note, then they also have video of the truck being parked, sitting there without being hit, and the owner returning without any real incident.

  And from experience, the cops would tell the owner of the truck to contact their insurance, and if pushed, the most they’d do is file a report. There wouldn’t be any investigation, especially without evidence of damage.

  Until someone comes up with a unified theory that works for both Newtonian mechanics and quantum mechanics I’d say this is true - we’re all wrong about basic physics.
