If you believe parallel construction should be illegal (it sure seems like it is unconstitutional to me), then 100% of prosecutions that rely on it are unjust. I don't think anyone truly knows how common it is, though, and that's by design. Double-digits wouldn't shock me at all.

It's not even clear they spent all the money. Maybe it just wasn't a viable product.

Yeah exactly. We didn't spend the majority of it.

I am just glad we know that was the result of a prompt written by an American. USA! USA!

"Our models are so good the government decides whether or you get access -- so you better not depend on them!"

Unfortunately this is one of the few cases where both sides are close to the same -- they both chose to heavily tariff foreign EVs. Something to remember when Democrats talk about climate change.

"closer to the same" except one side has consistently promoted the building and sale of EVs in America.

If you were feeling generous you could credit then with the entire existence of modern EVs given their support of the nascent industry for decades in California.

But sure, let's focus on the mote in Democrat eyes and ignore the insanity across the aisle. That's what got us into this situation, so why stop now.

> Are we just concluding "their concerns were never real"?

Their concerns are probably real but I don't think they're being totally transparent about their concerns. They don't want to be subject to regulation (until they have captured the regulator) -- same as every behemoth.

Maybe -- I think that's the reasoning behind government-enforced bans on photography and recording inside of slaughterhouses.

The passenger may not have even known, I've certainly renamed friends' phones as a goof, although not to something that would get them in to trouble.

I wish they'd all host on substack.com and not their own domains. It's always uncomfortable to go to a site from HN and see that nazi-enabling substack banner.

I'm out of the loop, what's going on with Substack and nazis?

They sent push notifications to their users promoting Nazi content, to users that did not sign up to receive Nazi content. And rather than fixing the problem -- that they host and embrace Nazi content -- they said they fixed the notification issue so "problem solved".

These are the same folks that removed the very useful Google cache feature because people weren't using it any more. What they forgot to say is they hid the feature beforehand.

Of course they have more AI queries every day. They have full control over what goes to LLMs and what doesn't.

Really smells like some high-ups' bonus was tied to these KPIs and they're guaranteeing that they can't lose.
