Unfortunately the word "life" is a rather catch all term for what in reality is a range of processes and "what is life" is more a venn diagram than a hard definition. Maybe life requires A, B, C or B,C,D or A,D,E but doesn't need all of them at any one time to consider "alive".

A chemical system that can reproduce via a stored code and copy that code is the hard part of life , wrapping it inside some sort of bubble its probably relatively simple, and given how small cells are and how large the earth is I wouldn't be surprised if once genetics got going it happened multiple times but only 2 lineages made it through.

9 years is an eternity in car tech. I doubt it even has digital instruments.

Turning it off isnt the problem. Stopping it switching on every time i start the car is.

Yours is probably an older model with a proper radio, not just an app built into the ice.

Thank god europe is a whole different world to the US where you don't have to get out a credit card before someone hauls you into an ambulance.

"you have to pay for those emergency system"

Not in europe, they come free with the car plus they trigger in a serious accident where you might be unconcious when phoning the emergency yourself isn't an option.

The radio always switching on at startup is a real bugbear of mine in my mazda too. I just don't understand why they do it , it would be so easy for the system to remember the state at shutdown and leave it there , but no, switch on each feckin time. FFS.

Unfortunately doing that will also break the built in breakdown/emergency services auto call system if you have a crash not to mention you won't get any further software updates.

You're shilling. My experience of AI in the last few months is it makes cretinous assumptions, doesn't understand the overall concept and its code is often no better than that written by a student. Also I never suggested just sitting down and writing code but there gets to a point where architecture design gets so detailed its more or less at the code level anyway at which point you might as well start writing code. I've seen far too much pseudo code and UML that is less clear than if it had been written in a real language.

If your pseudo code, sorry, I mean fine detail "architecture", is that comprehe dive you might just as well write actual code and let it fix that. IMO however AI code often doesnt even compile, has logical errors and is bloated. However YMMV.

I think for most of them its enough money to get by and pay the bills, very few of them make enough to get rich. It certainly beats being on the dole. Also a lot of youtubers these days are older people and it could be a top up to their pensions. Very few get rich.

Yeah, I agree. The rock concert sound levels is one of the reasons me and the family don't go to the cinema any more. The knuckle dragging grunts who think they own the cinema, can do what they like and no one else matters is the other.

"that "you can shit on christians all day long", "but not some other religions" is literal and fundamental example of identity politics."

It may well be identity politics but it doesn't make it a false statement. How many comedians make public fun of islam? None of them have the balls because they know exactly what would happen but plenty of them make fun of christianity. For the record I'm not religious and I see all religions as fair game.

Funny twist on the Fahrenheit novel. AI Capitalism buys books to burn them.
