It's a general rule-of-thumb that no business invests where there's uncertainty. Case-in-point: power plants in the US take years if not a decade or more to get going because of the bureaucracy and the fickle nature of politics. Why invest billions into a power plant when it will never get approved within the time frame of one administration and the next one will change the rules of the game?

So this suggests the stability of Taiwan for the next 5+ years. Then again, another way to look at it might be that Nvidia is effectively bribing China to leave them alone.

Wait, isn't everyone poking fun a Tesla for not using LIDAR? You mean LIDAR doesn't solve every vehicle navigation problem?

In case you were wondering, Spotify's new icon is actually a disco ball but you have to zoom in on it to tell. Otherwise, it looks like a bug which if fitting given that the latest CarPlay release has a significant bug in it.

We used to hold all the keys to the kingdom. Now, anyone with a modicum of AI skill can write prompts to do what we do and spoil our gravy train.

Never mind security, will a model that gives ordinary people the ability to make a lot of money in the stock market be torpedoed?

It's just people playing ArcticFox on an Amiga 1000.

I mean, really? Why hasn't anyone figured out that most of standard school is boring as all get-out? Who the hell wants to read what some bozo thinks is "important" literature? The only thing I learned from reading multiple Dickens books is that he got paid by the word. And who the hell wants to theorize about science? Say what you want about Elon Musk but he's 100% correct about this. Why take an entire semester class about wrenches and screwdrivers when you'll learn far more by taking and engine apart?

One has to wonder why nobody saw this coming. Everywhere this thing is going to be before it's in space (Florida or South Texas) is humid and salty.

As an owner of a 2025 4Runner with a "digital mirror", I can tell you that things don't look the same as they do with a regular mirror. Objects in the digital mirror appear closer than they actually are.

This is very boring and tired. The same people have been trotting this same doomsday scenario since the 1950s. North Korea aside, taking out Iran's capabilities has lowered the risk. Once we find out where the uranium came from, the bad actors will be exposed and dealt with.

Since when have critics been right about anything? Granted, it's just the trailer, but this looks a lot better than CGI Peter Cushing in Rogue One.

This is interesting and is similar to the concept that odor is not just about the "lock and key" mechanism theory of the sense of smell. For example, cyanide and benzaldehyde (a chemical in almonds) both smell like almonds but have different chemical structures. The theory is that the molecular vibrations are what the brain interprets as the smell of almonds. So your nose may be "listening" instead of "smelling".

They're "encouraging" you to use electricity... at certain times. Okay, but what if they're really trying to get people used to be told when they can use power. What if this is the next stage in experimenting on controlling the populous? They already know they can control a sizeable portion of people as a result of COVID. You couldn't see the virus. You were simply told to trust the government -- and "the science" never mind that science doesn't work that way -- and conform or suffer the consequences. With this, you can't see what the state of the power grid is. You'll just have to trust the government and the power providers. A big portion of the populous will comply even when they see their betters using as much power as they want whenever they want and for frivolous purposes.

When they try to get busy with the robot ones.

I'm guessing that AI is rapidly replacing open source projects that require a lot of work to tailor to a specific need. Whatever exists as open source has already been assimilated into AI databases. AI knows about open source projects and refers you to them but it wouldn't take much to train AI to reinvent the wheel but not just any wheel. The exact type of wheel you need for what you're working on.
