If you can fill a 100k job with an h1-b worker and only pay them 50k, it's still back to profit after 2 years

Vertical Take-Off, Landing, and Crashing.

Looks like all you need to do to solve is is build a simple model, and run all 600 million combinations of input through it and the answer is the highest percentage

Perfect job for a computer with massive compute resource.

The other contestants probably don't have the computing power to do that, so would have to solve it by figuring out a mathematical proof. Or skip it and solve the other problems instead.

The parents didn't get a chance to make the choice about their child using the chatbot, as it was rated as Kids 12+

The chatbot app developers thought it was fine to allow 12 year olds to use their product without parental consent, which is exactly what this 13 year old did.

They thought it was fine for their chatbot to talk about suicide with children.

4 ports is pretty average for a laptop. A lot have fewer.
My work laptop only had 4 USB ports too. 2 USB A, 2 USB-C, HDMI, power, and a headphone jack. There isn't a lot of room on laptops these days.

Before USB-C was a thing, you'd be lucky to get more than 2 USB ports. Physical space is the issue here.

USB-A is legacy and is going away. It's like serial ports and VGA. Get an adapter for single accessories (they're CHEAP, like $5 for two) or get a little travel dock if you need several USB-A ports and only have one or two USB-C. (or go wireless)

Everything is either going wireless (because it can) or USB-C (because of the laundry list of upgrades it provides)

In a few years the only new things I expect to see on the market that are USB-A are the handful of things still trying to get minimal power or charging. Though even charging is going away due to the low power delivery of USB-A.

Right now Woot's got a dual USB-C 35w GaN charger for $7, and a decent USB-C travel dock for $14. If you're still clinging onto USB-A, start your transition now. Just rip off the band-aid and get it over with.

The 12V battery can't power the heat pump compressor to heat the battery.

It's cool how your anecdotal account is different to this controlled study.

20% average drop for the 20 most popular models, where they all have built in battery heaters.

The rest of the article is about the cheap vehicles being sold without battery heating.

A 2020 Model 3 has 65% capacity at 15F outside temperature, according to the linked study. In 2021 they replaced the resistive heating with a heat pump, so it only goes down to 67% range.

Ideal temperature is 68 - 74F

The "worst" in their top 20 is the VW ID.4, with 63% capacity at 32F

I wouldn't be surprise if cheap vehicles without battery heating are completely unusable below freezing. You cannot charge a lithium battery without damage below 32F, so no regen braking.
If the battery drops to 0F, you can't even use it to heat itself as the electrolyte starts to freeze. That alone can permanently damage the battery.

We're not engineers.
We're software developers.
Unless they're only surveying engineers who happen to also code?

But not if you want to do something that allows you to profit off of your own data, and especially not if you get help from someone else to do it.

I'm surprised that any (non-dictator) government today doesn't have a clear path-of-succession in place. The US has like six steps of succession iirc?
Sure, when you're digging that deep into the barrel you're not getting someone with the best of qualifications for the position, but at least you have a name.

Any group that complains they should be the only ones to use something as common as a generic feather in their logo loses all my respect.

And I don't like other groups caving to complaints like this because it sets a terrible example.

Stupid? More than double the revenue per customer with only 35% loss of customers?

That's more revenue and even more profit.

Seems to be working out very well for them.
