Put stereo controls on the steering wheel, even cheap cars often offer this as an option now anyway. Put physical climate controls below the screen. You might need to look to grab the knob, but you can look at the road while you turn it. With some of these screen-only climate control systems they have sliders or other stupid controls that require a lot of attention. And also a button to activate the camera since every vehicle has poor rear visibility now.

'nuff said

Just one point: "free love" actually has a historical definition. It means that sexual activity should not be regulated by governments. That would also, technically, include the right to practice celibacy.

They will have to increase the price eventually as demand for transport overall rises. The point of the pricing is to deter driving enough that the street network operates within its capacity limits; if driving becomes more desirable than status quo ante, they aren't charging enough and will have to raise prices to keep demand manageable.

Think of it this way: either way, traffic will reach some equilibrium. The question is, what is the limiting factor? If using the road is free, then the limiting factor is traffic congestion. If you widen some congested streets, the limiting factor is *still* congestion, so eventually a new equilibrium is found which features traffic jams with even more cars.

The only way to build your way out of this limit, is to add *so* much capacity to the street network that it far outstrips any conceivable demand. This works in a number of US cities, but they're small and have an extensive grid-based street network with few natural barriers like rivers. There is simply no way to retrofit such a street architecture into a city of 8.5 million people where land costs six million dollars an acre.

So imposing use fees is really is the only way to alleviate traffic for a major city like New York or London. This raises economic fairness issues, for sure, but if you want fairness, you can have everyone suffer, or you can provide everyone with better transportation alternatives, but not necessarily the same ones. Yes, the wealthy will be subsidizing the poor, but they themselves will also get rewards well worth the price.

The WWW is older than the EU, though the general public became aware of it in the same year the Maastricht Treaty was signed. The principle of hypertext is older than the WWW, though. I had hypertext software on DOS, it "only" didn't link to other computers. That's an obvious extension, though. And it literally is obvious, because people were doing similar things with Unix, via rcp and uucp. For example, there were automated UUCP info gateways. You'd send them mail and they'd send you dynamic data.

I hope that you either find peace, or that otherwise that your inevitable suicide is painless.

In what way is pointing out that Musk is a Nazi a defense of a POTUS who is also a Nazi?

" In some cases, the AI model will generate further copies by how it responds to prompts, "

In no cases, you mean. It creates some close variants which might be considered derivative works, though.

Evaporative cooling. The water is lost to the atmosphere. The total power budget for your query includes a percentage of the energy it took to train the model. Just serving your query isn't all that expensive, but the training time is.

For me, the game I cannot play is Rust. Yes you can run it just fine, and yes there are maybe a couple of servers you can play on, and they have anticheat disabled. There are popular anticheat systems which work on Linux, EAC being one of them, and I've got a lot of games with online components and anticheat which do work very well. I was surprised by the percentage of my various game libraries* which could be easily installed via Lutris and work just fine. Most of them have very good performance as well.

A handful of Steam games don't run and more don't run well without Proton-GE, but a lot of games work without any addons at all. And speaking of addons, they are mostly easy to manage using steamtinkerlaunch, which supports both Vortex and MO2. There are definitely game mods which don't work well with Wine or Proton, mostly ones which have very specific runtime requirements. Some of those don't run well even with the runtimes installed with wine/protontricks.

* For a while there, Humble Bundles were awesome, and a lot of those games were on services which I never would have otherwise patronized.

...all of them which don't involve human effort are bullshit, because only humans can suitably detect the hallucinations.

Remember back in the early days when they were pretending that they weren't an illegal taxi service, but rather were just normal people "sharing a ride" to where they wanted to go anyway, and so called it "rideshare" to avoid prosecution?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

My level of pessimism about things like regrowing limbs has declined a lot in recent years. I mean, there's literally a treatment to regrow whole teeth in human clinical trials right now in Japan, after having past clinical trials with mice and ferrets.

In the past, "medicine" was primarily small molecules, or at best preexisting proteins. But we've entered an era where we can create arbitrary proteins to target other proteins, or to control gene expression, or all sorts of other things; the level of complexity open to us today is vastly higher than it used to be. And at the same time, our level of understanding about the machinery of bodily development has also been taking off. So it will no longer come across as such a huge shock to me if we get to the point where we can regrow body parts lost to accidents, to cancer, etc etc.

Whether someone is "curable" or not doesn't affect the GP's point. A friend of mine has ALS. He faced nonstop pressure from doctors to choose to kill himself. Believe it or not, just because you've been diagnosed with an incurable disease doesn't make you suddenly wish to not be alive. He kept pushing back (often withholding what he wanted to say, which is "If I was YOU, I'd want to die too."), and also fighting doctors on his treatment (for example, their resistance to cough machines, which have basically stopped him from drowning in his own mucus), implementing extreme backup systems for his life support equipment (he's a nuclear safety engineer), and the nonstop struggle to get his nurses to do their jobs right and to pay attention to the warning sirens (he has a life-threatening experience once every couple months thanks to them, sometimes to the point of him passing out from lack of air).

But he's gotten to see his daughter grow up, and she's grown up with a father. He's been alive for something like 12 years since his diagnosis, a decade fully paralyzed, and is hoping to outlive the doctor who told him he was going to die within a year and kept pushing him to die. He's basically online 24/7 thanks to an eye tracker, recently resumed work as an advisor to a nuclear startup, and is constantly designing (in CAD**) and "building" things (his father and paid labour function as his hands; he views the world outside his room through security cameras).

He misses food and getting to build things himself, and has drifted apart from old friends due to not being able to "meet up", but compared to not being alive, there was just no choice. Yet so many people pressured him over the years to kill himself. And he finds it maddening how many ALS patients give in to this pressure from their doctors, believing that it's impossible to live a decent life with ALS, and choose to die even though they don't really want to.

And - this must be stressed - medical institutions have an incentive to encourage ALS patients to die. Because long-term care for ALS patients is very expensive; there must be someone on-call 24/7. So while they present it as "just looking after your best interests", it's really their interest for patients to choose to die.

(1 in every 400 people will develop ALS during their lifetime, so this is not some sort of rare occurrence) (as a side note, for a disease this common, it's surprising how little funding goes into finding a cure)

** Precision mouse control is difficult for him, so he often designs shapes in text, sometimes with python scripts if I remember correctly

Your calculator is executing a simple and provable algorithm, the LLM is executing a complex and non-provable one because the inputs are too varied. They are fundamentally different things. Your calculator is limited, but predictable and thus reliable.
