Customer centric? What's more customer centric than disabling speakers people bought in the past?

Never Sonos.

You realize they'll get your birthdate within a day or two as you transition into a new group. Maybe on a service or two it takes a couple of weeks to update, but it's still close enough.

Once a feature becomes available to you at an age change you're going to want to transition to that group as soon as possible.

Let's use LPR for their purpose; reading and validating license plates. Strip the devices down to the minimum required and load lists of license plates to them. They can trigger in those and generate events. They can also be audited to make sure the plates listed are official stolen/bolo, etc, as required.

That's it. That's all they do. Leave the spy craft to spies.

The music business is pushing this; they don't want the competition. While some artists might not want AI competing with them; the real question is who do these charts represent. The music industry, or listeners.

I'll give you a hint; the charts will be gone in 5yrs.

I absolutely despise the Canadian content rules, particularly the implementation of them.

However, that's a Canadian issue and problem, the intent of implementing it isn't to impede foreign investment or business in Canada.

So, foreigners can fuck off about criticizing it; that's Canadas job.

Thank you for your feedback *aniels. We'll get back to you at 2?2-555-1212 in the next couple of days.

When someone with evidence refuses to produce evidence for evaluation you can rightly assume the evidence tells a story they don't want told.

I think we already have a definite minimum that handles the situation.

The article indicates all the books have an ISBN.

Here's a hint for the general masses. ISBN isn't printed in your one-off rare manuscript. It's printed in mass produced books from the twentieth century or later.

Hey didn't get quite the buyin they wanted on the original story so they manufactured this one by shipping a book to Amazon.

It isn't, but I find this article extract and its tone unprofessional, so honestly I couldn't care less anymore.

If you're hitting something the size of a building you don't need an Nvidia chip.

My issue with it isn't that they're using a processor, it's that this class of processor is likely overkill. So, either it's so readily available they have a warehouse full of them, or somebody wants to stir up shit. I'm guessing it's effectively the latter. It's more politically with it to raise the concern that it is to bother sourcing this component for production.

Basic image recognition sufficient for mapping navigation can be done in significantly lesser hardware.

Why?!

Seems most likely to be a misinformation campaign. There's plenty of ways to navigate a middle and none of them require AI.

The $100/yr for a developer doesn't come close to covering publishing costs.

Spotify doesn't charge for their app, they provide subscriptions, and have a large install base. Downloading a million apps when there is an update for instance isn't free for Apple.

I think they are very generous with the small developers. And the way to keep doing that is to have the successfully community pay its share of costs. We all benefit from it. (And it's Nicole and dimes for the big players)

Not sure I care about the gambling overall, but I do care they allow things like betting on wild fires; literally creating incentives for the creation of wildfires.

A call for aid is not inherently a distress call. Period.

Running out of fuel is not inherently a distress call, on calm seas with no immediate risk to life it is a call for aid. It would be escalated to a distress call if the situation changed, rough seas, drifting towards rocks, etc. would be valid for a distress call.

Is there an immediate risk to life and safety? No - call for aid.

There is a legal difference.
