Its disappointing, but not surprising. US battery tech and charging infrastructure isn’t advanced enough yet to support EV pickups or SUVs. Its just barely adequate for small, aerodynamic sedans that are not towing/hauling anything. An EV pickup needs a deeper battery and a charging station capable of refilling it on a timescale competitive with the ~5 minutes it takes to refill a tank of gas for several hundred miles range.

I don’t know if this is the full explanation, but the article does touch on how the LPM can be tweaked to match physical tests:

The trick is to incorporate experimental measurements to fine-tune the model. If a physics simulation doesn’t agree exactly with experimental data, it is often difficult to figure out why and tweak the model until they agree. With AI, incorporating a few experimental examples into the training process is a lot more straightforward, and it’s not necessary to understand where exactly the model went wrong.

Suspect or not, you get the same surveillance treatment as suspected domestic terrorists do.

bold of you to assume that anyone outside of the Epstine class is holding enough cash for that to matter

IDK, I think we’ve seen adequate evidence that a lot of people out there are unswayed by facts and logic, and many of the ones who can be reasoned with are vulnerable to sophistry, sealioning, and other bad faith propaganda/debate techniques.

Even an informed public seems incapable of making good decisions.

This is The Way.

The tech specifically mentioned in the article and called “AI” has been around since the 1970’s. Its just a database lookup. SQL.

It seems like these municipal governments are telling on themselves for using vibe coded software for which better alternatives have been available for at least the last 50 years.

The old guard of human operated propaganda farms feel threatened by having their playing field leveled. They’re scared that non-capitalists may now have the means to have their voices heard over the cacophonous noise of the billionaire owned media and government sponsored troll farms.

. . . in their time and place, but the universe is ever changing.

Its been done - link goes to a PDF of the study:

Patients with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) frequently report episodes of interidentity amnesia, that is amnesia for events experienced by other identities. The goal of the present experiment was to test the implicit transfer of trauma-related information between identities in DID. We hypothesized that whereas declarative information may transfer from one identity to another, the emotional connotation of the memory may be dissociated, especially in the case of negative, trauma-related emotional valence. An evaluative conditioning procedure was combined with an affective priming procedure, both performed by different identities. In the evaluative conditioning procedure, previously neutral stimuli come to refer to a negative or positive connotation. The affective priming procedure was used to test the transfer of this acquired valence to an identity reporting interidentity amnesia. Results indicated activation of stimulus valence in the affective priming task, that is transfer of emotional material between identities. r 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

“fishy” = bacterial vaginosis

The common scent element in healthy cis women is “tangy”.

Estrogen causes the vaginal walls to secrete glycogen, which gets eaten by lactobacilli, which produce lactic acid.

Lack of tanginess can be caused by low estrogen levels. It tells us about your current endocrine ecology, not your gender identity.
