if it's so easy to control, why on did a trained nurse in a US infectious care facility contract it? Never underestimate the ability of governmental incompetency when it comes to letting something happen that shouldn't happen
Fixed it for you "A Robot^H^H^H Dummy that can slam luggage against wall, dent it, and steal my laptop. Technology is a marvel." sometimes I feel like they have been parading the same automaton for the last 10 years.
After seeing the capabilities of the Boston Dynamics model/style of robots and with AI's apparent learn rate one some engineer would have figured out by now how to connect the wires (no disrespect to the field) but these marketing events are doing more to diminish the perception of progress.
THIS!
Been in the Capital Expenditure Management business for a while Iv'e watched the Southern California office market completely retract and try to reinvent itself into usually residential with little success. I can only imagine all the brokers baiting property owners with data centers, not realizing the practicality of upgrading power, water and fire life safety to data center requirements is impossible for anything less than $300/SF
I think there is some merit to your generalization. I am guilty, not an avid reader but have listened to quite a few audio books, I even bought a few shelf trophies. There was a point I had a 2.5hr commute which I loathed until finding a few amazing audio books. Yes I was driving but my imagination existing in the world created by the author. I can't say I would have read(listened) to as many books without this option. Shoot I pick up my kids and they literally are like what did we miss.
I admit I do not like dramatizations, just a someone reading the unedited words.
Not normally a conspiracy theorist. First block chain (wont even go into the obscure inventor bit) becomes a thing requiring massive amounts of GPU computing power, to the extent where it was impossible to purchase a GPU to do GPU things. Now AI is a thing, even more so requiring GPUs to do not so much GPU things. Is there a secret world order which needs this massive pattern recognition global infrastructure for some
^this!!
critical driveline software should be separate and autonomous from accessories. My ID.4 which I love but admittedly does not have the smoothest accessory software used to crash the heads-up display and with it the air conditioning system. So, while driving in summer rush hour hear I am performing a hard boot on the system swearing my but off.
Playing devils advocate we have a slew of users who want to be able to drive there car with there iphones.
TT-RSS install on my cloud server, web browser and android clients. Use it for everything I can. It vastly simplifies keeping up with news/ events/authors/sites I want to follow without having to visit dozens of sites daily. I've over 100 feeds I track, not counting the YouTube channels. On some I find articles to read daily, some weekly, some rarely. For example, I followed a link in my Slashdot feed to this story. I'd not have seen it if it wasn't in my feed.
Really? Now that would be an achievement.
Between the AI crud that's remarkably inaccurate and the litany of sponsored links, it's hard to get Google to return results of value anymore.
Perplexity (mentioned in systemd-anonymousd' comment) is one good alternative. Here's another (IMHO):

Useful Google results without the crud.
Keep in mind if you purchased an EV between '21 and '24 you probably got some level of free charging. pre 2024 ID.4 came with three years of fast charging. I think a large part of this group falls within this catagory.
Back in '98 we used the standalone server as a workplace chat app for a tech support department. It worked great, especially since we were always on the phone you could still chat with a coworker. The server wasn't well supported and had a memory leak which lead to the NT Server crashing and killing the entire tech support departments MS Access database. Boss wasn't happy, but had to take the hit since he gave into our request to install. It was fun while it lasted.
LOL!
Oh, to have mod points...
I am a construction project manager who does a significant amount of commercial realestate projects. It has been interesting seeing how different company cultures react to this ideoological shift. Firms with younger manangment treat it as an apportunity to addapt firms with older manangement basically freeze and wait for the news everyone is going back to work. You watch demand to return after demand to return and the offices are still empty.
Developers are pivoting to biomedical and multifamily
This is true, however I think the interpretation is incorrect. Inflation is an equation which will balance itself one way or another. Without fed intervention then the cost of bread drives up to $20 a loaf.
Sheldon? is that you ?
This is not correct. Adaptive Reuse of buildings is done all the time. Downtown LA used to be all commercial up through the mid 2000s. Adaptive reuse of old garment industry buildings revitilized downtown, keeping in mind the california seizmic requirements. There just has to be a motivating factor (see profit). I know in California the main issue has just been strict beurocracy that just makes things close to impossible.
This is clearly another case of too many mad scientists, and not enough hunchbacks.
