I wonder how many words there are in "out-of-pocket maximum".

I wonder if anyone has first-hand experience they can share with Fusion 360 under Wine.

It's incredibly rough and unreliable, sadly.

Has anyone ever tried to look at the concept of a Universal Basic Job? If you can show up semi-sober, you get paid to paint over graffiti, or pick up trash along the road, or something.

This is kinda what minimum wage jobs are? You could say depression era WPA/CCC programs were an example of a government providing this.

No, minimum wage jobs are kind of the opposite. They push underqualified people to the side, since who wants to pay $15/hour for someone only capable of producing $5/hr of value. And most jobs generally come with more obligations, like "we need you here 2pm - 10pm, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday".

Maybe time for a Usenet renaissance?

In a way, Usenet was a kind of ancient fediverse.

Is that:

- I would be stunned if we agree to eliminate human drivers from 100% of roads in the lifetime of anyone alive today.

or

- I would be stunned if we agree to eliminate human drivers from 10% of roads...

...or is there some other percentage to qualify this? I guess I wouldn't expect there to be a decree that makes it happen all at once for a country. Especially a large country like the U.S.. More like, some really dense city will decide to make a tiny core autonomous vehicles only, and then some other cities also do years later. And then maybe it expands to something larger than just the core after 5 or 10 years. And so on...

That is a fair point, since it is fairly safe to make "this absolute claim will never happen." And the person I replied to did say 'exclusively', which implies 100% elimination of human drivers. But still, I appreciate your nuance.

And in the spirit of that nuance, I will revise my statement slightly. I think it is entirely possible we will eliminate drivers on 10% of roads. We have rules that are analogous to that already with limited access highways. Though I would rate this still as unlikely, since such roads only make up just over 1% of all the roads in the US as it is. Not sure what the % is for other countries, probably less.

> some really dense city will decide to make a tiny core autonomous vehicles only

Agree 100%, this kind of thing I do expect to see happen. We already have exclusions for cars altogether in favor of pedestrians, so the precedent is set.

Come on. It's 2026: I, Pencil isn't a mic drop. It's a cliche. It's 70 years old, assume everyone's read it.

Also, your drop of it betrays a pretty fundamental lack of understanding. I stand by my statement that free market could never accomplish something like this. Eradicating a disease is nothing like a business making a pencil to sell.

Anyone know how to create a usable reddit account from the .onion domain?

I've tried it, and my account was shadowbanned a few hours after I created it. It's very obnoxious.

Reddit bots shadowban almost everyone who post before they have enough comment karma. Nothing to do with Tor or VPN.

I didn't try posting, I tried commenting.

Here is what I think we know, in table form:

                 |               | Injuries | Undesired  |
                 | Miles         |    to    | Pedestrian | Feline
                 | Driven        | Children | Contacts   | Fatalities
  +--------------+---------------+----------+------------+------------
  | U.S. Drivers | ~3e12         |  ~7000   |     ?      |     ?
  |--------------+---------------+----------+------------|------------
  | Waymo        | 100e6 - 200e6 |    0*    |     1      |     1
  +--------------+---------------+----------+------------+------------

* for all we can tell, this incident doesn't rise to the level of injury that results in a reporting event that is captured in the 7,000 number.
