Thursday Overnight Open Thread - October 8, 2026
Adirondack Mountains, New York - From Aesthetic vibes
Howdy Hordelings! Welcome to the Thursday ONT! Mixed bag of content for those who care. Open thread, as always. On time, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?
To embrace rapidly increasing technological advances or not. Kodiak says yes. Kodiak ready to 'pull the driver' and launch unsupervised driverless trucks by end of year
Kodiak's unsupervised driverless long-haul delivery trucks will soon hit Texas roads as its partnership with Swedish furniture giant IKEA enters a new phase. Kodiak founder and CEO Don Burnette joined "Varney & Co." Tuesday to shed light on the rollout and the technology behind the autonomous trucks. "We're starting with one. We're gonna get that first one out by the end of the year, and then we're gonna start to scale throughout 2027 and beyond," Burnette said. Burnette said IKEA will serve as the launch partner later in the year. "We're doing just over 200-mile trips to start, but nobody in the driver's seat, nobody in [the] cab," Burnette said. Burnette explained that Kodiak provides the AI-powered software that serves as "the brain" behind how the autonomous trucks drive. "We've proven the technology is safe and reliable. We've done a lot of work over the last decade or so to make sure we've covered every contingency, and now we're ready to go," he said.Video segment at the link. *** Doordash says yes. DoorDash drone delivery doesn’t spell end for drivers, executive says
DoorDash is revolutionizing the way it delivers food to its Northern California customers thanks to drones, officials say. The company insists that all will remain the same, except deliveries made by drones will ensure faster arrivals and more options for consumers. Harrison Shih, head of DoorDash Air, joined “The Hill on NewsNation” to discuss the new delivery method, adding it may “one day” be an offering in big cities such as New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles. “DoorDash really is the strongest in your standard suburbs, and I think that’s what makes this service so good for DoorDash, as we think about drone delivery, is DoorDash has really been built around… connecting those communities with their neighbors and getting food across all of those areas,” Shih said.
DoorDash says its new drone can get food to you in under five minutes — but Texas residents are already calling Amazon drone noise a 'big problem'
The future of doorstep delivery is drones apparently (well, drones and robots): DoorDash has unveiled a new drone ready to get food to you in under five minutes on average, even as Amazon faces a growing number of complaints over its own drone delivery service. DoorDash has been planning drone deliveries for a while, calling the scheme DoorDash Air, and we've now been given a look at the six-propeller aircraft that'll be doing the delivering. A trial is planned for Northern California, in partnership with restaurant brands including Chipotle and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. A lot of work has gone into the pick-up and drop-off infrastructure and ordering system, DoorDash says, as well as the drone itself. The company estimates that around 80% of customer orders are light enough to transport by drone, and initial tests suggest orders can be delivered in less than five minutes on average. *** The drones won't land when they deliver — they'll lower their cargo in front of your door or in your backyard and then zoom away again. According to DoorDash, failsafes will be built in so the drones can safely land in emergencies, and their cruising noise will be comparable to a passing car "at delivery height". That noise element might be crucial to the scheme's success. As TechSpot reports, residents in Richardson, Texas are none too pleased about the constant buzzing being created by Amazon drones, which launched Prime Air in the area last December. The sound has been compared to that of a flying lawnmower.*** Chick-fil-A says not so fast. Chick-fil-A rules out AI drive-thru ordering as fast-food rivals embrace technology
Chick-fil-A is bucking a growing fast-food industry trend, with CEO Andrew Cathy saying the chicken chain does not plan to use artificial intelligence to take customers' drive-thru orders. While Chick-fil-A is exploring potential uses for AI behind the scenes, Cathy told CNBC that the company wants to preserve human interaction in its drive-thru lanes even as competitors increasingly experiment with automated ordering technology. "From our experience, we really want that hospitality to be human to human," Cathy told the outlet. "We’re not going to substitute that interaction with technology, because we feel like that hospitality is so important to create that warm environment for consumers."
*** The US Army unsurprisingly says yes. US Army tests counter-drone tech at Mexican border as cartel drone use rises
The US Army is testing counter-drone technology in the US-Mexico border area, seeking to sharpen its defenses against the growing threat of drone use by cartels and emulate the rapid battlefield innovation happening in Ukraine's war with Russia. At Falcon Peak, a US Northern Command exercise held in September in Arizona, soldiers watched as defense firms demonstrated radars, interceptor drones, autonomous gun systems and other technologies designed to detect, track and destroy small unmanned aircraft.

And right now, it appears that this is going to be an older and whiter electorate--Gen X and Boomers predominating which are swinging toward GOP. Youth turnout is not going to be that much perhaps below 10 percent apparently with Millennials above yutes but well below X and Boomers so far.
Getting enough early voting and absentee requests now to start painting the actual electorate.

More than that, he said, we live in times that are being gravely threatened by dehumanization. We interact more with digital systems than with people. But at the symphony, he said, there are real people, musicians who have mastered their instruments through thousands of hours of practice, and they are playing physical things.
There are bows drawn on gut and steel strings, real cymbals clanging together, mallets hitting drums, lungs powering brass, and a harpist using hands and figures to make the sounds of heaven appear before us. A season ticket shows your loyalty to the humane arts, to the beautiful, to the truth, to the analog world of genuine human achievement

I read the content - drones as loud as a passing car *at what speed*? And from inside or outside of your own car? Cuz... interstate speeds while you're standing on the shoulder? Not so quiet.
No sign of the draconids here, too much light pollution in that quadrant right now.
Job search continues, a part time temp job might go active soon, and that would bring some income and keep some skills sharp/get the rust cleaned off. Had one previous interview from about a month ago finally update with "sorry but you're not moving forward"... still have the others to hope for, including the best fit I've felt since I started this whole sorry saga (last Thursday's interview).
I pray frequently, and try to keep an open mind about how "where God wants me" might not line up with "what sounds good to me". Trying to pray more, and pray better.

Whatever it is, it has to be incapacitating, if it was something like cancer or even the flu, the candidate would be at least sending out messages, pix from a hospital bed, something other than radio silence. If old, something like stroke might be possible but age tends to rule that out but if Talafreako did go loopy, then his handlers don't want him seen nor heard until they patch him up like Biden.
Whatever it is, it is not severe enough to try to parachute another candidate in, but severe enough that the Dems don't want him seen that way.

You could, but it would depend depend on if you wanted it to be a combat focused tactical game or a true open ended espionage simulator.
The espionage simulator route would probably take around 6 months of total dedication to map out and storyboard, develop the game mechanics and front end to get to an MVP.
It could be done though.

Most new games are simply FPS slop. There really hasn't been any real innovation in the space in the last 15 years.

Does AI possess enough logic/ creativity/ precognition/ imagination to view a vehicle up ahead that is creating a "HEY, LOOK AT THIS IDIOT" scenario, and react like we humans do.
The vehicle ahead may be maintaining itself within the boundaries of the lane, although weaving and drifting enough for a human driver to recognize an issue (drinking, falling asleep, medical issues) resulting in us keeping our distance and keeping an eye on them in the event that a quick reaction is required. I don't see AI being able to apply that human response if for the time being the vehicle remains within its lane.

Just what people need is a nervous ghey in office.
I enjoyed and related to the redneck video. My beloved father, Marine, chemistry degree, golfing, refined Southern gentleman was most of that.
He even had a "back 40" or at least 10 acres of cars on the farm. Our sons were thrilled to find these relics one winter day, with a tree growing through one of them. Sunk into the ground. Felt like explorers. After his death someone bought the cars to restore and mother got money for them as they were hauled off.
He certainly did not throw stuff away and had jars of screws, etc, in his storage room. He also messed with electricity at times for reasons unknown. An electrician told my mother that the motion detectors were wired with mystery.
There were electric fences for the cows here and and sometimes not seen (one painter was peeing way in the back woods and got a shock).
I had free entertainment for most of my life.

Dozens of brooms with the straws worn down to perhaps 3-4 inches. Essentially just handles.
There was more, lots more. It took us weeks of full time work to clean the place out.

Bummer. I was hoping they'd get that person that f*cked up Christa Pike's execution, and put him/her in charge of hanging of Nidal Hasan. Now that would be worth pay per view.

An implosion of Talarico has close house races that could be affected on the Rio Grande.
And Brandon Herrera is coming off like a future political star as well. Guy has built an enormous small donor powerhouse team and is hitting it on social media.

Sheeeeeet. . . .
When I cleaned out Grandpa and Grammi's farm I found the following (just a few examples):
An old milking shed jam-packed with old white plastic hanging baskets that had, at one time, flowers in them. There were hundreds of them.
Dozens of brooms with the straws worn down to perhaps 3-4 inches. Essentially just handles.
There was more, lots more. It took us weeks of full time work to clean the place out.

Besides, if Walmart deprives you of your liberty or kills you, it is either kidnapping or murder. If a police officer does it, it’s business as usual and a sign of GREAT police work.
It is one thing for a private organization to protect property; it is another for an organization that exists to deprive people of their liberty, or kill them, to engage in constant surveillance.

How this is playing out right now puts a spotlight on why Paxton was always a far better candidate than Cornyn. (Despite all the consultant class lies to the contrary). Paxton has jumped on the disappearance and is mocking him in his speeches lately, with no response from the Dems.
When a candidate becomes the butt of many jokes, his campaign is over, especially if he doesn’t respond.
Cornyn would have sat back and said nothing except “that’s not who we are.”

One of my sons in junior high had an alarm one morning. A teal colored poo. Had me go look since I know everything. I said, "I have no idea.What did you eat yesterday?" Nursing skool only prepared me for brown, red, black or white poops.
He and friends got some sort of ice cup at the beach with blue syrup. Aha!
Not dying of teal, altho it is one of my favorite colors when not in the toilet.

Dropping this in the punchbowl at this time makes it difficult for the Dems to praise corporations importing workers (which they secretly want to screw white males) and makes the country club GOP cheap labor crowd unable in the middle of a race to back bite.

Hi, nurse. Last summer I got a bit of norovirus from the baby grandgirl. She harfed on me and that started the all female band (son, grandson and husband were oddly immune).
I got what I called the cholera version of the diarrhea instant weight loss for days. I knew better than to drink colored gatorade and stuck to a refreshing clear and fruity pedialyte. I need to stock some for end times.
We had to fly to NOLA and see my mother in MS a week later. I look like a corpse in the family photos.
'Twas a lovely time as during the fiesta of pedialyte my husband discovered a leak from the kitchen to the basement family room. Requiring plumbing, sheet rock guys, a drying fan, and painters as I lay dying upstairs.
I didn't care. The contractor told my husband that we were the calmest people he'd ever worked with after a wall flood (well, he didn't see me, but I was calm as near death).

I found another one, I think, that almost certainly must have drawn some attention. Or not…
Old time radio program, Superman episode “Dr Deutsch and the Radium Mine” first aired in June 1941
The episode was about Radium, and the evil Dr. Deutsch and his underground lair for smuggling Radium in hollowed out books, which isn’t quite separating isotopes of Uranium, but it’s pretty close, and they mentioned “atomic” power or bombs, and how a small handful of the stuff could wipe out the entire United States.
This is pretty remarkable given the time frame, in that year physicists, mostly refugees from Europe, were still pretty much trying to get the US government to get motivated even about the possibility of fast fission bombs. This was about the time Enrico Fermi tried to alert the US Navy. He managed to get an interview at the War department with some colonel or someone. He overheard an aide alert his boss in his office while he (Fermi) was waiting - “There’s a Wop outside”.
