Not quite. The real acid test is whether, once you get to your destination, you can do a full workday without waiting six hours to recharge.

Conversely, my Mac's ~14-hour battery life means I've never left the house with the (bulky) power adapter unless I'm traveling overnight.

I dunno, macOS has a pretty extensive Accessibility control panel. Have you checked it out? There's a Text Size slider in there, among many other things.

There's also the Text Size slider under the Accessibility control panel.

No. Not easily, anyway. And that has the same effect as the feature I described. Lower DPI = less screen real estate, not just larger system fonts.

Maybe you want fine-grained control over all your fonts, which could be tricky. But if all you want is larger text, the Displays control panel is your friend. There's even an icon labeled that.

It honestly never even occurred to me that you could get severance pay from a job like the Geek Squad.

That's probably a long way off, too. Right now, robotaxis are only allowed on a limited range of public roads, which doesn't include highways (and by extension, bridges and tunnels). So while they might be useful to get you from your home in a city neighborhood to downtown, but not much more than that.

(Also, I doubt anybody's really going to pay for robotaxis for a daily commute. Most people buy cars or take the train for that.)

"Going Sleeper"? I don't get it. If you were laid off, why wouldn't you say so? You're under no obligation to a retailer you no longer work for, least of all to use some kind of coded language.

Answer
Based on the search results provided, I do not believe there is enough information to definitively answer whether a cool refreshing Coca-Cola would feel good after using Perplexity AI. Here's a summary of the relevant details:
[2] The search result mentions that a Coca-Cola would "feel good after using Perplexity", but this appears to be a sarcastic or rhetorical statement, not a factual claim. The article is focused on Perplexity's plans to introduce native advertising, not on the user experience of Perplexity compared to drinking Coca-Cola.

Q: why should I use perplexity instead of chatgpt? I hate ads

A: Answer
Based on the search results provided, here are the key reasons why you should consider using Perplexity AI over ChatGPT:

1. No Ads: The search results indicate that Perplexity AI is completely free to use and does not contain any ads, unlike many other AI assistants and search engines. This addresses your stated dislike of ads. [1][3]
2. Better Search Functionality: Perplexity AI is focused on providing accurate, up-to-date information through its search capabilities, which are powered by GPT-4. It can provide detailed summaries and citations for its responses, unlike ChatGPT which may not always cite its sources. [2][3]
3. More Transparent: Perplexity AI clearly shows the sources it used to generate its responses, allowing you to verify the information. This transparency is lacking in ChatGPT. [3]
4. Faster Responses: The search results indicate that Perplexity AI provides responses very quickly, often within a second or two, which is faster than many other AI assistants. [3]

Contextual Understanding: Perplexity AI seems to have a better understanding of context, allowing you to ask follow-up questions that build on previous queries, making the interaction more conversational. [3]
However, the search results also suggest that ChatGPT may be better suited for open-ended, creative tasks like content generation, while Perplexity AI is more focused on providing factual, research-oriented responses. [2]
Overall, if your primary needs are fast, ad-free, and transparent search capabilities, Perplexity AI appears to be a strong alternative to ChatGPT based on the information provided. [1][2][3]

More tinfoil, clearly.

Moronic. There are to many reasons to list why doctors should not be able to give a patient anything they ask for, but I'll start with the most fucking obvious: if that was how things should be, why have prescriptions at all? It's fascinating watching the contempt for specialized competence eat the United States from within.

I'm a 25+ years of experience C++ programmer, and Rust is great. Entrenchment will mean C++ will be around in meaningful amounts for awhile, but I have no qualms about Rust increasingly eating its lunch.

Oh, and there's no such warning. When you get into the backseat of a robotaxi, it won't even start moving until everybody is wearing their seatbelts. I hardly see any passenger leaping into the front seat and grabbing the controls in a traffic incident.

Nah. I've rode a couple of robotaxis around the city, and while the ride is nice, it's clear we're nowhere near "get in a car and go to sleep." For one thing, the vehicles aren't even allowed on highways yet. And they require months of training on any particular urban area before they can perform reliably. I don't think there's been any training in rural or even suburban environments, which have different challenges. What you say may eventually be possible, but we're still a long way off.
