Why in the world would anyone think that an LLM would know what products humans would want to buy? To the LLM, all the products are merely words. Just descriptions. It cannot perceive anything about these products, but only knows of them indirectly via words. Further, all the LLM knows about what things are appealing to humans is also from words.

The whole thing is absurd really. It reminds me of something like Futurama where Bender is trying to cook food for humans. Or Star Trek and Data is trying to do something human but failing at it. Just not nearly as entertaining to watch this store fail though.

Actually probably not the chip is larger, but the lens is larger. The aperture allows it to be less blurry in bright light.

The chip is larger so it collects more light and thus improves low-light photography, but this would make bright-light photography worse (by reducing depth of field). The aperture fixes this for bright light, thus allowing the better low-light performance.

The examples comparing prices are all comparing them to battery-backed systems that can continuously produce the rated power. The solar panels or wind turbines will be capable of far higher peak power that is used to charge the batteries. I have no idea whether any numbers being quoted here are accurate, but the posters are absolutely describing "base power" when quoting their prices.

Also took down the PACS server at our local hospital. The D drive didn't mount after this update.

Come on - we've seen the advertising Miami put out to the rest of the world. There is no transformation necessary.

There was a parking lot there before. And LA has plenty of other examples of similar architecture, some of it considered LA landmarks

Reading scores fell more sharply in students from better-off backgrounds

Sounds like at least we have achieved equality in stupidity!

It is the God-sold (not "-given" ; TANSTAAFL) duty of all US people to pay homage to the God of consumption at all times. What do you think that million bucks in the back pocket of "No-tab Kegsbreath" was for?

What is happening is Flock's coverage density in existing areas is increasing, while other areas are losing coverage entirely. So instead of actually growing the network geographically it is now shrinking.

In my county and town there were 11. The county Sheriff had 4, the town Police had 4, and Lowe's Home Improvement has 3 on their private property. In the last week the Sheriff and Police both decided to remove their Flock cameras.So have most neighboring counties. This has caused a massive gap in the Flock geographic coverage in this entire region. 8 cameras doesn't sound like a lot, but when they are positioned on the major arteries coming in and out of the town at the access points to the interstates, the amount of coverage and vehicles being scanned is impacted tremendously.

Increasing their coverage density in existing areas just shows more details of the same vehicles. So instead of a vehicle being scanned three times while driving from point A to point B, it might be scanned four or five times while it moves around a city.

It's a vastly different thing completely losing the ability to scan vehicles at all in entire areas, and I argue that even though the raw number is increasing (if what you say is true), their overall capability is drastically decreasing.

I get plenty of spam SMS from blue organizations. This is actually one area where "both sides!!!!" argument applies.

IMO: even before that. My cut-off date is when RHEL was certified to run Oracle RDBMS. A cash-cow has appeared, and the rest of the OS (along with community) became just a baggage.

In the age defined by cybersecurity, this is a very very [*beep*] comment.

They have said "the last straw", not "the main reasons". I've seen recently a number of migration to Debian, because the current generation grew up, got tired of the "latest greatest" stuff that's half-broken all the time, and simply want stuff that "just works". Funnily enough, Debian is still "it". (Heck, even for the gamers.)

Doubt RHEL goes anywhere, but it's funny how many people grow up out of the denial that RHEL, well, sucks. Started gradually sucking even more after RH started going after market share of commercial *nix systems, and started adopting many traits of the monolithic commercial *nix OSes.

From Wikipedia, judge for yourself. You are right it would have been nice to include this in the summary!

In 2025, Hansson published a blog post[30] expressing support for far-right British activist Tommy Robinson and the 2025 British anti-immigration protests, as well as mourning that London is "no lounger full of native Brits", defining "native Brit" to mean white. Hansson published another blog post[34] in July of 2026 comparing the Romani population of Copenhagen to Denmark's struggles with its wolf population growth, stating that "When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them." Anil Dash and Rebecca Bailey expressed criticism of Hansson's post, decrying its "dehumanizing rhetoric" against the Romani people.[35][36]

Sorry misread your post. You described the backup interface as "something you will need" but I somehow thought you were saying that these plug in panels include it.

A cheap method that I think would work is to add an outlet to the plug-in panel which will continue working during a blackout (as long as the batteries and solar panel can supply power). Is that possible without adding much circuitry?
