If only there was some way to process these flammable batteries in a way that their components could be reused again for batteries, like some sort of cycle that goes again and again, a "recycle" if you will.
The problem is that there aren't enough of the little appliance-size batteries to economically recycle, but there are enough that sometimes they cause fire.
Why not just give out a container for people to put waste batteries/battery containing devices in?
How many batteries per week do you think people in Britain discard?
I'm old enough to recall the olden time - two years ago - when the hiring had slowed because there were fears (that had gone nowhere, just muted) that US economy is overheated and about to enter a recession.
But I guess the underlying conditions for recession are harder to spot, when the economic data are dominated by inflation (gas prices) and inflation (AI bubble).
...because they merely expect AI to replace existing tasks. Whether it actually does is more nuanced. For example, many employees pressured to use AI say it makes their tasks harder by creating AI slop that needs cleaning up. They have to deal with mistakes that wouldn't be in a human draft or in existing time-tested templates. If and how fast employees will get better models or learn to prompt better is unknown.
It's essentially management's gamble. Those in the C-suite often don't spot or are slow to understand front-line patterns, as nobody likes delivering lackluster news to higher-ups. They'll typically hear, "There are a few learning curve hiccups, as expected, but we're making progress" even if the productivity ship is taking on a little water.
I never activated Sirius, but twice a year they have a free week or so of music as a promotion. I don't do anything with or about that, but "weather alerts" start popping up. It's naturally windy in my neck of the woods so I get bajillion alerts that require pushing Dismiss while driving, but often cannot turn the alerts completely off because the Weather Alert "Off" feature is only available some of the time, but I cannot tell when without going into the menus, which present music options first. If it's not stealth spamming it's crappy UI coding. Either way, it sucks. I contacted Surius once and they said it cannot be fully deactivated. I may have a mechanic cut the antenna wire to Sirius but am afraid it would break GPS also.
but I can't track it down. Memory usage and disk/SSD look fine. I suspect either GPU or some weird OS stack gets full or confused. Windows 10 has a secret bladder that needs a diaper.
If they find water it will certainly put them at the forefront of moon science.
We already know that there is water in permanently shadowed craters near the lunar poles. This has been well-proven by multiple missions, including the LCROSS mission that actually impacted the pole.
What we don't know is what the physical state is. Sheets of ice? Ice-coated grains of regolith? Deeply hydrated minerals? Fluffy snow? Layers of dust alternating with rock-like layers of minerals cemented together with cryogenic ice?
Yes, I know XiWare is likely snoopish, but so is GoogleWare. At least make the jerks compete.
Executives can't resist shoving a new spam channel into your face. Even if they can't use it immediately due to regulations etc., the possibilities make their greedy marketing glands swell with giddiness.
SiriusXM is already spamming my older model vehicle using tricks to get me to poke around in their music menu by pretending to malfunction. Long story, but here is similar behavior.
Answer: No, using AI to write an op-ed has no impact on the report about dismal math skills, besides improving the organization and legibility of the report which is a positive. The most important point is that college students lack elementary school arithmetic skills, and no test is being used to replace SATs. Actually AI might be useful in both teaching remedial skills as well as in evaluating readiness for college. Maybe some effort could be put into developing free, online automated teaching assistance that does not track you, that can be used by any prospective student to see where they stand and attempt to advance. Maybe a non-judgemental, free AI tutor with multiple teaching methods available to it could teach kids fractions for example, and it could be done long before college entrance.
They don't need to be.
The thousand-men armies scanning books get the books by buying them by the pallet load. It's stuff that nobody really wants, like old technical books that are out of date, self-published books, etc.
If the book was actually valuable you wouldn't expect the seller to sell it for dirt cheap.
No evidence was given that math skills are atrophying because of AI, nor was that even claimed in the op-ed, which criticizes slipping testing standards.
I think the point is that if a math teacher can use AI to write a paper and thereby elevating their skills without any investment, then why can't a dumb student use AI to do the same? Eventually we'll all be dumb as rocks and require an AI to do basic thinking so we can get back to the important things, like masturbating and watching tv. It's kind of a moot point, really, because convenience always wins out in the end.
Then I suggest demonstrating your sincerity. Dump your intimate photos and PII in your temporary storage location.
