I thought so as well, but then when you think about it… most taxis are kind of just the back seat? Still weird not to make it a three seater bench though. I guess they want you to book two if you want more than 2 people, cha-ching.

Lmao cpp is not a real language, it’s c with a bunch of OOP bloat on top. Imagine calling React a language.

See, the thing is though, all of these things are designed with some kind of running hours in mind. If a car is used more, it’ll wear our faster so it’s either using it a lot in a short time or less in a long time, its utility ends up being the same so there’s no direct gain from not letting it sit idle. That’s why passive robotaxis are a pretty dumb idea.

But yes there are things that really only wear out from time spent existing. A pencil’s lifespan is purely defined from its use, a cast iron pan can pretty much be used indefinitely. Cars and drills are more like pencils imo. RAM might be more like a cast iron pan though, although trace erosion is still a thing.

Along a similar line, guy makes a global surveillance company and calls it Palantir, apparently oblivious to how much of a comic book villain he looks like. Thiel looks at Sauron like “that’s so meee”.
