It's a gimmick on an EV. It could be really useful on a plug-in hybrid.

The difference is you're very likely to plug in an EV even if it has solar. Many people don't plug in a hybrid. But if your hybrid has solar and enough batteries, you'll get carbon free power whether you want it or not. Especially if the government mandates all cars be EV or such hybrids, which I think they should.

"Draw a kitten" would not be worthy of protection.
A two paragraph detailed scene description would be.

OK, but does the description being copyrightable mean the work also is?

Suppose some guy commissions an artist to make a painting based on a two paragraph detailed scene description. Further suppose the artwork gets entitled by that two paragraph detailed scene description, so others know what it was. (Weird, but that's par for the art world.)

Now suppose some other guy commissions another artist, who has never seen the first painting, to make a painting based on that same two paragraph detailed scene description. It gets a regular, short title. Is that new painting a copyright violation?

I used to have a Sony Blu Ray player. I discovered about 10 years ago that I could record TV, compress it with H.264, fit about 6 hours of 720p content on a DVD-R, and it would play on that Sony player. Not perfect quality, but the goal at the time was to be better than VHS, which was easily achieved.

Eventually I learned about Jellyfin and that player got stolen, so I hardly care about any disks anymore. But my point is that modern compression makes Blu Ray data density unnecessary.

Seemed stupid for sharks, but maybe it's better for hard drives?

So what you're saying is, "They're saying it's aliens, but it's not aliens"?

What a topsy-turvy world.

Most current models don't use only binary, 0 or 1, in their neural networks. I seem to remember a paper suggesting they could, but I don't know of any that currently do. Most are trained at fp32, with ~4 billion possible energy levels per "neuron". That can be reduced to as few as 16 levels in practical use, but the more the model is quantized this way the worse it performs.

Processing only part of a network is sometimes done too. Entire layers can easily be skipped, often with interesting results. Other kinds of partitioning would seem to be harder.

A good time to party. Even to fight for your right to do so. Back when we were so sure our other rights were secure.

Most companies call employees "human resources," and exploit their "desperation" for cash, among other indefensible actions.

So Microsoft's next attempt to replace Rover will be a C.A.T.?

Remember, Trump bankrupted four casinos.

Oh, come on. This is real. It doesn't require parody.

This feels like what's known as a house of cards. Are the spots on Trump's hand from an IV? Almost certainly. Did it contain an Alzheimers drug? That's very speculative.

An old person falling asleep can be caused by many things. Congestive heart failure is one. That condition is also associated with cankles. Trump said the MRI was of his torso, heart area, not brain area. This is another house of cards, but it looks a bit stronger to me.

I'd try Summer of 69 mode but it's marked NSFW for some reason?

I think there is already a penalty like that. It's called the wash sale rule and it applies to buying and selling the same thing within 30 days. I guess the penalty just isn't big enough?

Wouldn't that make them 402 Media?
