Good for browsing and side by side though.

The use case is you have a decent size screen on a device that you can pocket. If you look at the latest foldables, they aren't much thicker than non-foldables. About as thick as an iPhone from a few generations ago.

They seem to have reached the point where the tech is reasonably mature and not excessively fragile. Now they just need to get the price down.

Puts anyone accused of being Satoshi at great risk.

When you win the lottery in the UK, they help you hide the wealth. Special bank accounts, advice on how to avoid other people finding out, that sort of thing. There is a risk of both crime and people coming to beg for money.

In the medium to long term the main outcome of this war will be accelerating the move away from US based currency and payment systems. Lots of alternatives to Mastercard and Visa already have some momentum, and trading oil is moving away from USD.

With such a system you can tolerate a lot of false positives, to ensure you don't get false negatives. All that happens is the false positive image gets sent to the ground for verification.

And remember that the other option is having nothing at all.

Didn't they try to do that kind of image recognition in the 90s and find it unreliable? IIRC they tested it with tanks and found that rather that detecting tanks it was detecting sunny days, and once they eliminated the weather variations it couldn't do anything useful.

Today Tesla's vision system is notoriously unreliable, and you would assume that in military applications the aircraft are going to be camouflaged.

But then you have to transmit potentially massive amounts of data back to Earth.

Say you want to detect aircraft entering airspace. They are difficult to detect with radar, so you want to do it optically. You need decent resolution to capture small drone sized ones, and you need multiple images to help with camouflage, false positives, and determining flight path.

That's a lot of data. The data rate is likely to be the limiting factor on what resolution and how frequently you can image an area. Being able to do the detection on the satellite, and only send reports or images that suggest further investigation is worthwhile, is going to be very useful.

China is headed that way with their renewables. Ireland is planning for renewable hydrogen production as well.

I think it will probably only end up with relatively niche uses, but it's a useful option.

Cryogenic has bee used for the ground tests, so presumably it was here too.

AI slop articles that get summarized into yet more AI slop. I doubt many humans read this stuff.

It doesn't affect text so ctrl F still works. The rest can be mitigated by supplying element sizes in the HTML.

Amazon will replace workers with robots the second it is feasible. This won't do anything to change that.

Is there any risk of being caught in the lie? Here it's possible that your employer will get at least a sense of your previous salary because they need to handle income taxes for that year.

I do it anyway and it's never backfired, but I suppose in theory...

Bombing people doesn't really help them.

I see Israel has started its usual tactics of destroying all the civilian infrastructure in Lebanon, in preparation for annexing part of it.

Months? They have been converting some motorway here for *years*. I think we are about 4 years in now, I lost track. It's taken so long that they started out making it a "smart motorway", realized that those things are deathtraps, and now I'm not sure what it's going to end up as.

We have had average speed cameras in kilometre after kilometre of 50 MPH stretches for many years too. Some of them seem to have been forgotten about because there hasn't been any work or cones there for years, and most people speed through at 70.
