ERVOUL or something?

Who's to say a computer simulation is fully deterministic from the algorithm? Suppose there's a little randomness in the computer platform, like e.g. quantum tunneling going on between circuit pathways, or the chips in the universe-computer contain some radio-isotopes whose decay introduces a random element?

...it should be permanent Standard Time.

It's like Android Auto except it works. Always.

Android Auto does work. Always. And I won't buy a car without it. I already pay for a phone; why should I pay twice?

The Equinox EV would have been on my shortlist for my next car, but not if have to pay a subscription fee for the privilege of handing GM all my data, when I already have a perfectly good phone.

Not that we should expect any kind of ideological consistency from these jokers anymore, right? [eyeroll]

You mean like, oh say, the United Launch Alliance?

"Dairy-based protein powders and shakes generally had the lowest amounts of lead, but half of the products we tested still had high enough levels of contamination that CR's experts advise against daily use"

"lowest amounts" - still not zero.

...I still think ice-9 tastes better.

Yeah you're right, from now on all drug and treatment trials should just immediately start in humans, right? [eyeroll]

The Fed should already have introduced a blockchain-based "digital dollar" stablecoin that everyone with a bank account can use, without having to mess around with Google/Apple/Samsung Pay, or mobile apps for individual retail outlets like fast food chains, that are really just loyalty apps, etc.

So, as opposed to the recent trend of manufacturers providing particular features on a subscription basis, now the whole car will be subscription-based. I suspect this will be just as popular with customers, i.e. not popular at all.

Do you not see the difference between this minor difference (between "need" and "ought" or "should", and having an entire culture that is based around saying one thing but meaning another? There's a reason that this problem exists more prevalently in certain parts of the world than others.

...people need to start saying what they mean and meaning what they say? Which IMO would apply in the absence of AI as well?
