In many countries/areas GPS doesn't know the speed limit of all roads (Ford starting reading signs thing a few years back) it also accounts for temporary changes such as road works to be able to read the signs. A true FSD needs to able to account for items not in GPS that means all kinds of signs posted for whatever reason

Why expend that budget when there is another company out there very close to FSD likely to get it done (already demonstrating it in use) with far cheaper hardware in the car that doesn't make the car look ridiculous or damage phone(or other) cameras and is willing to licence it to you

Submission + - Engineers Send Quantum Signals With Standard Internet Protocol (phys.org)

An anonymous reader writes: In a first-of-its-kind experiment, engineers at the University of Pennsylvania brought quantum networking out of the lab and onto commercial fiber-optic cables using the same Internet Protocol (IP) that powers today's web. Reported in Science, the work shows that fragile quantum signals can run on the same infrastructure that carries everyday online traffic. The team tested their approach on Verizon's campus fiber-optic network. The Penn team's tiny "Q-chip" coordinates quantum and classical data and, crucially, speaks the same language as the modern web. That approach could pave the way for a future "quantum internet," which scientists believe may one day be as transformative as the dawn of the online era.

Quantum signals rely on pairs of "entangled" particles, so closely linked that changing one instantly affects the other. Harnessing that property could allow quantum computers to link up and pool their processing power, enabling advances like faster, more energy-efficient AI or designing new drugs and materials beyond the reach of today's supercomputers. Penn's work shows, for the first time on live commercial fiber, that a chip can not only send quantum signals but also automatically correct for noise, bundle quantum and classical data into standard internet-style packets, and route them using the same addressing system and management tools that connect everyday devices online.

The misuse of AI in image generation is just the tip of the iceberg most AI generates incorrect answers based on faulty inputs until AI knows false info from truthful it is not something I want the average user to have nor should they. Even asking an AI a question can yield vastly different answers just with a small change in the prompt. Think Facebooks echo chamber multiplied a million times currently with the information scraped from the garbage of the Internet and its doesn't understand which piece is correct and which has been made up but repeated a million times by millions of morons. I believe apple is being cautious on this and better late than getting cricified products which are clearly in beta test by even the most advanced AI leaders

Comment Works for some not for others (Score 2) 173

I have several businesses the ones in construction where physical labour dominates you can get them to work for short periods at a cracking pace by offering days off of more money as a bonus but after 2 weeks the pace slows as physically they can't do it for long. Pacing the work is better. Its also much safer.

The IT companies give them deadlines and if they finish early or can achieve milestones by working less days or work from home all good. However here a small percentage will start to abuse it after a while and its interesting as other workers will "report" the abuse before managers notice.

The "fines" which pass for deterrence and punishment are laughably small.

The fines need to be based on revenue and non negotiable in court at least 10% maybe 20% of all company revenue over the time period the infraction was incurred. The first company forced to pay would make the rest think very fast. I would be surprised if this didn't violate DOD contract terms hiring non-US citizens

Superman used to stand for Truth Justice and the American Way. Thats been changed to Truth Justice and the Human way.

As most Humans on this planet are garbage that just is plain stupid and as for Justice what type of Justice if its Human Justice Sharia is not the type of Justice I would like superman to hold up. The American justice in the comic universe is much more preferable Why does the movie industry hate America? except when they can make dollars of it

The faster an operation is done the quicker the recovery the less blood needed for transfusion, If the surgery can be done with tiny holes even better. There are medical robots that assist surgeons now that achieve most of these goals this just takes the surgeon and his team out of the room removing more error prone components and having something that doesn't get tired, drunk. old or high or come in after a bad relationship breakup is a bonus.

I believe this will be handled like self driving cars where FSD supervised is the norm until enough km are done to prove the tech then unsupervised will be unleashed Supervised surgery robots will also help extend surgeons useful career as well

Financially having children is expensive and a responsibility The money part I found is not important but responsibility is and many people no longer want the responsibility in High income countries. The number of parents I see that have kids then simply ignore them after they are no longer useful for their social status. you only have to see how celebrities take children and make them click bait for the likes and the same applies for many high income families whoo want to imitate them. Children are a responsibility until they can fend for themselves and it is a parent's duty to help them achieve that. In todays society that is a high bar

I second this I switched to a Brother MPC 9800 series colour laser 10 years ago and its still running cartridges are cheap and get up to 3500 pages per cartridge still connects to everything iPads iPhone's Mac Windows, Linux, even their friends with android devices find it easy to connect to. I keep a spare set of cartridges for when those assignments are due and duplexing minimises paper It might go months without printing and then like a month ago printed 2000+ sheets for something the older student needed. The cost today of a similar one is half what I paid and what it would cost to replace ink cartridges 3 times in and epson or other inkjet.

What Trump is is a pragmatist who realises the west cannot save the planet by screwing their economies however they can bring manufacturing back to countries where companies are forced to do it cleanly even if its more expensive that will make the world better in the long terms. What DOGE has shown is the climate money was only lining the pockets of the uniparty so even the politicians didn't really believe what they preached

Whilst you are correct and the chart at 2023 shows China+India USA+EU Chinas Exponential CO2 production and to an extent India also mainly as they are adding a coal fired plant every week I would say that by now 2025 China has caught up and india is on a similar trajectory a few years behind that being the case the USA and EU can do absolutely nothing to stop the cause of the warming unless you want to wipe out both China and India that is the only way you will stop them from producing CO2 however the consumers in the USA and EU will just get someone else to produce their amazon crap
