Depends on the displacement and other factors. Huge engines in that power range like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_710 are used in locomotives and other applications like power generation where they run 24/7 at 100% load.

They're still making that model today.

While fairly realistic in function, the Visible V8 is not a replica of a specific production engine, though it most resembles an early Cadillac or Studebaker V8.

...but that transmission definitely looks like the early 4-speed Hydramatic: http://www.1954advance-design.com/Hydra-Matic-rebuild/index....

because they are learning what ice cream (and everything) is

If you feed a 4-year-old "frozen dairy dessert" and call it "ice cream", then you're technically also legally wrong.

This reminds me of the similar fight over the term "milk": https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/02/almond-milk-can-keep...

Almost certainly regulations. Anything even vaguely medically-related tends to be very, very highly regulated.

The same side can also say "Woke environmentalist communists want to stop you from tuning your vehicles or rolling coal." That will probably get even more support, given what I've seen of the political leanings of farmers and RtR supporters in general.

Either that or a human that has started writing like an LLM, having been "trained" on LLM output itself by sufficient exposure.

This is the dream of corporate authoritarians everywhere. The dystopian nightmare we all warned about because we saw it coming. "Security" is the "think of the children" fearmongering of the current environment.

As one of our Founding Fathers put it: "Those who give up freedom for security deserve neither."

It is probably just a brand, like many others, and based on a reference design from the OEM.

I have a small Tenda 5-port gigabit dumb switch. It uses the same switch chip as this TP-Link, just with different branding; even the "SG105" model number is the same:

Buses in America don't have seatbelts either. They're just so big and heavy relatively to cars that you're very unlikely to be seriously injured. (It does happen of course, and that usually makes the news.)

This is how you get many people to just keep the belts fastened permanently and not bother putting them around themselves.

I have a car from that era. The seatbelts feel like those in any other newer car I've been in, although perhaps a bit thicker.

It also has detected a 357 km/h (or around that) while driving in the city, possibly by random patterns from a shop's street window.

Unless you have one of the very few cars that can even approach that speed[1], it sounds like some software "engineer" most certainly did not understand the meaning of "sanity checking".

It reminds me of an old article about how often self-driving cars would get rear-ended for abruptly braking on highway on-ramps because they thought there was an obstacle ahead, and naturally the cars behind it were all accelerating and the human drivers in them would never think of stopping as they saw clear road ahead. In many areas, doing a "brake check" is illegal.

Unless you're going to be staying within a small city with almost entirely short trips, you probably want a bigger and less primitive car from that era than a Beetle.

Analog electronics is a topic that was widely covered in mid-century textbooks, but it's definitely become more of a specialist niche today.

I suspect it's because the protocol for driving those cartridges is known and others have used them:
