It couldn't have been a more obvious PI.

Hmmm... Mars is farther that Earth from the sun. Austin must be in a deep freeze.

I would not comment on looks because it is unseemly, but you are misplacing the two. You can't recognize the father's features in the son?

Sanders is accurate, and decides quickly and correctly. The best gift for a new coach is a great QB.

CFB is back!

He almost threw it out of bounds too.

No imagination on offense.

great catch. just OOB.

More than straight line speed, it was his quickness that defied his size. There are TD runs from within 10 yards of the goal line where he makes about a dozen moves to walk in untouched.

I guess every rule has an exception.

Another Spurrier quote about UTenn, "You can't spell Citrus without UT."

Killing is an industry and efficiency, throughput, cost basis, future growth, etc are the corporate metrics. AI will deliver across the board. Big thumbs up from the upper management.

I don't think it will go full autonomous enemy of humankind entity but it will be far more insidious, targeted, embedded, data-driven, inference+kill engine. Just one scenario: a tiny drone programmed to look for certain characteristics and autonomously complete its mission with only a probability percentage number and maybe a target signal to serve as extra training data.The drone can be launching a missile to take out a village or shooting a poisoned dart in the neck, and they could number in ones or millions. The underlying danger is that the moral agency is further and further stratified to just a handful of people instead of at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers at a visible level now. So, a small senate committee can ask a secret three letter agency to do far more havoc than a war, and we would be insensitive to it. As it is, drones are killing weekly and we are largely uncaring. The dehumanization of humankind and being reduced to just a bio-chemical material is the tragic path we are on.

Yeah, the A"I" is not going to attack the operator or the communications tower when it has been trained only on target data. What is scary is the automation and industrialization of killing without even a token moral agent (human soldier) involved in the decision-making. As it is, the "corporate-ness" of the military with greed and power-driven political directives combined with "follow without questions" trained soldiers eliminates human moral agency anyway. What AI will do is take this to its extreme and logical limit where the only moral agent left is the previous day's kill efficiency data. God help us.

I am hoping it will be earlier next year.

Probably. In India, we are packed like sardines. To have a big house with a front and back yard feels palatial. Of course, parents visiting and kids on the horizon will put the house to use.

Ioniq 5 has a retro cool look and is deceptively big, which I like. I also test drove VW ID4 but found its interior toyish. If Mach E had the same plush ride of ID4, it would be my first choice, but Ford made it like Model Y and the ride is very stiff. Regarding Ioniq 5 (Ioniq 6 is too new with almost no availability for comparison now, I think), whipping Teslas, I don't see it. Exterior: Ioniq 5 wins I think, for no other reason than everyone has Model Y. (my team of ~10 people all drive Teslas). Interior: About the same. Hyundai looks like any typical car and Tesla is spartan. Depends on if people want buttons or a large screen with apps. Driving: Hyundai is a bit soft (my preference) whereas Tesla is stiff and fun for the driver but not for passengers. Of course, Tesla is faster, etc. Charging: Hyundai has fast charging and car-to-load connector, whereas Tesla has the supercharger network. I would go with supercharger network, though they are packed in California and may open for other cars. But they are reliably available unlike the multitude of others. Quality: I know panel gaps is a meme, but I think it gets highlighted because of it and because Tesla/Musk are polarizing, people want to highlight it. At work, I can see hundreds of Teslas at our office parking lot and they don't stick out as being any worse than other cars. Reliability/service: Hyundai is traditional but I hate dealers. I have never taken any of my cars to dealers after purchase for any service/repair. Tesla has part availability issues but stories fall under both very good and very bad regarding service. Overall, Tesla has sold millions of vehicles and they are the most experienced in EVs. I have heard bad experiences with other EVs regarding recalls, battery issues, software glitches, etc. and their newness to EVs shows. Regarding price, none of them are available for anything less than Model Y price. New Electric Cars Under $50,000 for Sale in San Jose, CA (with Photos) - TrueCar Ignore the Kona and Niro, which are small. Next ones are Toyota bZ4X at 42.5k, ID4 at 44k and Ariya at 45k, all base FWD trims. The base Ioniq 5 and Mach E show up at 47k+. In contrast, Model Y is available for 47k, and it is AWD with 279miles (250-260 realistic) range. No dealer shenanigans. And it qualifies for $7500 tax credit, unlike the Ioniq 5.

I heard (no evidence) that those national chain Patel store owners are big Modi fans, which means they are not my preferred place to shop. Unfortunately, a lot of US based desis seem to support Modi and his rapid radicalization and power grab in India. Very sad and portends very bad news to minorities and eventually to the whole nation.

🙂 Hey, where can I get in on that action? That's just outstanding.

As a desi, I can say that we, as a general rule, look for value that lasts. A house is good investment, especially a nice one that one can live in as opposed to a stock brokerage account. I agree that quite a few like to humblebrag a lot and a house is a nice way to do it. The best humblebrag is for desis is, of course, where their kids go to school and their majors. Regarding Teslas, I have an old BMW i3 and looking for an EV. I overanalyze all my big purchases and I am hard pressed to find a better deal than Model 3 and Model Y in 40k-50k range. My next choice, Mach E, is selling at high 40s for the base trim. I found a 2018 Model S 100D with 70k miles at low 40s and I am so tempted to get it.

Watching Ja for the first time, for being such an out-of-control and poor shooter why is he taking so many shots?

GS played good D the last couple of minutes to make for errors.

One may forget that there is no TO but how can you not see that you can milk the clock?

After getting jaded by watching Warriors winning, it is nice to see another team enjoying playoff success.
