How do you know? Until last year, we humans were the only creatures capable of high-level reasoning to ever exist on this planet. Something new is being created, something that is potentially capable of self-improving and becoming far smarter than us. We should treat it seriously because--once an AI gets sufficiently smart and resourceful--we won't be able to stop it.
No liberal 15 years ago was saying they wish London was more white.
It was just more or less assumed years back.....as that it was more the norm for the homogeneity that was found then.
No one has quoted them as saying anything "bad"?
If it's still not an open protocol, then it's really hard to be at all interested in either the client or the server. Can this new app talk to non-Sonos speakers? Can I use Sonos speakers with my own app? It's ok if either side (or even both!) is currently unimplemented, as long as there are no trade secrets or DMCA shit deliberately preventing legal implementations.
If it can't interoperate on purpose, then it makes Sonos look like just another proprietary lock-in scam, and I don't fall for that trick anymore. Save that bullshit for the 1990s.
Sad I could justify dropping $20k on a Mac Studio if one was available north of 128gb these days (check the site all above 96gb are gone)
I believe they are advertising the 512's gbs are coming in a few months.....
The reality is Apple very much positioned their product line as fashion items,
Having an Apple product hasn't been a "status' symbol of any sort for decades now....
They're just commodity products, nice ones....but commodity products and no one buys them or sees them as a fashion or status symbol purchase...
That's been a thing of the past for quite awhile now...
if you get the roof replaced, get in-roof solar that replaces the tiles with panels,
Maybe we're using different words/meanings....but if we both consider a tile a "tile"...then in the US, most house roofs are NOT done with tiles....in fact I'd only seen roof tiles on old houses when I moved to New Orleans....it isn't common to see roofs with tiles.
Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in the US.....when I think "tile" I'm thinking like terra cotta, or the like and that's not common. You used to see wood shingles too back in the day, but not so much anymore.
So, not sure if a solar 'tile' replacement type thing is really offered here in the US (it may be)....but if it is, I'm guessing it would be sky high in price for materials and then add on specialized labor would be $$$$.
I"ll go check out that channel for sure!!!
Yeah like those people who vote to keep immigrants out and then find out they need to clean their own shit out of the toilet.
You keep saying that...until the Muslims become numerous enough to start enacting and enforcing sharia law....
There's already swaths of area, neighborhoods that are growing in France and Great Britain that are so ethnic that it is dangerous for cops or non-Muslims to tread in those areas.
It's a disease that is spreading,...you're losing your culture and eventually your countries if you don't do something.
It's not bigotry, it's self preservation at this point.
Why is it never the Republicans who have to appeal to moderates?
These days...especially lately, the Democrats have pulled SO FAR left, that the majority of Republicans ARE the moderates.....
I mean it was getting bad but when you add the DSA on top, the Dems are waaaaay of base to the left, enough to make almost anyone look 'moderate'.
He did think... his post laid out a plausible chain of consequences stemming from the legislation. Maybe it's right or maybe it's wrong, but he added something to the conversation instead of resorting to name-calling.
Can you back your car up on a skinny dirt road on the face of a cliff with complete assurance? I know 2 people who have killed a child while backing up. Children don't stay in one place like statues. They wish they had cameras in the back.
I've been driving for about 40+ odd years.....never had a car with a reverse camera.
So far, it isn't been a problem I've run into (no pun intended).
I've been IN some cars that have them, driving...and well, I really don't use them then either...I'm so used to actually turning around and looking BACK while reversing to stare forward at a screen.
A lot of cars now have features where they lower the fan speed on the HVAC system when a call comes in. They also override it for alerts from the car (like when it's trying to warn you that you're going to hit a pedestrian because the car is momentarily pointed at them on a slight curve, and even though they are on a sidewalk with a raised curb and everything). They can always find some reason that a feature might need that kind of control.
I do NOT need or want those features.
I wish to control as much as possible manually on my car and do not want it doing stupid piddly shit like that....turn fan down for call?
When it's this fucking HOT, I will willingly talk louder or tell the idiot calling me I'll call back later when I'm NOT DRIVING anymore......you know?
You could still be a shade tree mechanic to maintain or even upgrade things as you pleased with a car YOU BOUGHT.
You should be eating the plants directly vs. converting an animal into human food which is inefficient and environmentally destructive.
Somehow I don't see low and slow smoking beets and turnings on my log burning offset smoker is going to give me quite the same thrill and pleasure as briskets, pork shoulders and ribs....
Frankly , I've always cooked for fun and flavor, never efficiency....who cooks for efficiency, except those that dont' have functioning taste buds maybe?
The only difference between a car salesman and a computer salesman is that the car salesman knows he's lying.
