    Trump Admin orders another coal plant to stay open

    The "president" doesnt just have the authority to override years long business plans. What actual statue or power does he claim to be using/invoking even? The owners should just shrug and keep on doing their plan. By the time there's a lawsuit, it'll be done anyways.

    Trump’s energy secretary orders a Washington state coal plant to remain open

    How about WA state just "ignore" that Drumpf administration rule. Because they don't like to follow orders, and just do what they want. So, just switch to gas, stop burning coal, and what exactly will donnie-2-dolls do? Because that's how they rolled so far this year- do the thing, even if...

    An electric car that’s faster than F1 around Monaco? That’s the idea.

    I don't think more downforce is necessarily going to make the racing any better. Seems like the best racing is often when cars a just a wee bit loose, showing driver skill in controlling it.

    3 years, 4 championships, but 0 Le Mans wins: Assessing the Porsche 963

    I've heard some rumbling/grumbling that the ACO doesn't give the Ferrari 499P the real BOP it deserves; it should be given a lot of weight and/or power penalty at Le Mans specifically. Also there were some penalty worthy moments that were overlooked. I get BOP is complex, but watching one car...

    Formula E: Still searching for a place in America to call home

    "Made for TV" ... but where is it shown? It would be great if this Ars article articulated that so I could try to watch the next one.

    Man vs. AI race scrapped after AI car crashes into wall on warm-up lap

    I don't ever, ever want autonomous car racing. I want these companies or "series" to fail, fail completely and entirely and never try again. Racing is all about a human drivers, testing their skill and courage. Having computers calculate optimal grip or lines is simply not what any human...

    The optical disc onslaught continues, with LG quitting Blu-ray players

    I will never get rid of my blu rays and 4Ks. I have a cheap BR player I wont toss out just to have a backup to my 4k player. I don't stream except 1 service. I was one of the last holdouts on Netflix physical disc service. That was great- good quality, watch whenever, and still get most of the...

    How to stop LinkedIn from training AI on your data

    If some company really wanted to do the right thing, could they delete their current Ai data set and "start over"? Like delete all the training data, and start over with a new data ingestion? I imagine it's not "that simple" but can they keep a framework of the logic but then feed it new info...

    It’s cutting calories—not intermittent fasting—that drops weight, study suggests

    For better weight loss, ketosis is better IMO. If you can fully fast for several days - not easy.

    From toy to tool: DALL-E 3 is a wake-up call for visual artists—and the rest of us

    As a designer who does want to use this, what I really want is to be able to provide text describing what I want and also upload a sketch of the layout or something with a skeleton of how it should be laid out. Since I do have in mind what I want, and would use Ai generation to fill it in, or...

    Almost-unbeatable AI is now a permanent feature of Gran Turismo 7

    I hope there's a way to dial the AI back to be a little more beatable. I'm not a hard core gamer/driver and my experience is limited, but if I was going to be playing against the computer, I'd want a chance to win, to have fun enough, until I get a little bored and turn up the difficulty.

    From the original series to <em>Picard</em>, we’ve ranked every starship <em>Enterprise</em>

    Thank you! 1701-A (Style or TMP) always the best. IMO the E is sooooo elegant and perfect proportions, so also good there. The C in 2nd place, surely this was a typo, so I'll just assume it was a mistake and move on. 🙈

    How a beloved classic Porsche became a Transformer

    Really there is no need for animators to have to care one iota about how the physics or mechanical design of any of the robots work. The Transformer "power" has already been shown to simply turn anything into anything else at the molecular level. No need to make sure every car part shows up on a...

    Pediatricians now recommend drugs and surgery for kids with obesity

    Ugh, pills and surgery are (usually) not necessary. For most people controlled Fasting works. It requires self control.. but humans can burn their own fat, you just have to flip metabolism to fat burning from glucose burning. It's not fun, but it it works naturally. And it's free!

    NTSB wants alcohol detection systems installed in all new cars in US

    Implementation REALLY matters to how something like this would work, and not burden non-drunk drivers on a daily basis or long term maintenance.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is either good or it’s just so comforting that I don’t

    THIS is the Star Trek reboot we have been waiting for. I've not watched it yet and I already feel like my years of $upporting Paramount/Trek have paid off for this series. I feel like all I/we wanted was more episodes of TNG, forever.

    Apple develops alternative to Google search

    It's amazing how rumors on one website turn into full blown headlines on another. Explicitly using the phrase "Apple develops alternative to Google search" makes it sound like it's already done. Which, to no one's knowledge, it is, only that many speculate Apple might be. It's bad headline...
