Actually, getting the CO2 out of the atmosphere is easy. Just grow stuff faster than you dump it in. The Keeling Curve slope goes negative every year due to uptake by vegitation.

Problem: To grow stuff, you need more than just the CO2. Plant growth will hit a limit when any one of the necessary nutrients is consumed Right now, we need to introduce more fixed nitrogen (NOx) into the cycle.

Well the answer is of course they are out of touch and I don't actually have a 'right question', I just wanted to fit in.

.. when making presentations to management:

• No more that three bullet points per slide.
• No more than three slides.
• Treat them like three-year-olds.

You just have to keep upping the dosage to get an effect.

No, it's just the sort of thing that the UEFI design kind of does.

You load a bunch of stuff that all initializes, just in case it might be needed. One of the key optimizations in some UEFI implementations is trimming down the things that get loaded based on an early assessment of whether this or that would be relevant to the expected boot. For example, hit key to enter setup and suddenly it has to load all the things to make sure all the various menus work.

Kind of like setting up the NIC in the OS before anything asks for network access, so that every network access isn't burdened with having to set up the network access. If the driver is already loaded then a variety of potential UEFI network code could just use it (PXE, HTTP, iSCSI, various crap from vendors like pre-OS firmware download)

How many tons of CO2 were produced by AI answering your questions?

We will see, but *so far* Ford has not been as aggressive about that sort of thing as BMW or Chevy. The BlueCruise requires actively curated lidar maps, so at least they have a rationale for that being an ongoing subscription. The other subscriptions are similar, updating GPS maps (who needs those with phone) and data connectivity (but if you have a phone, you don't need it). So far they haven't charged for remote vehicle services which arguably could be charged for the SIM service and/or server infrastructure they have.

Note that their point is they state they had the car's onboard system also provide AC to the load side, making the cost lower to incrementally make it a backup unit.

Most solutions provide DC and a separate inverter is required to power the house.

Presumably this came from the desire to consolidate things and wanted to do the 'plug power tools into the truck' feature and the delta to get to 'car side house scale inverter' was appealing.

I haven't looked into this detail, but if you do a network capture, you are likely to see some ipv6 link local activity during boot even if the server is never going to pxe boot. As it boots, it loads a network stack and generally becomes reachable ahead of any actual use. It may refrain from DHCP unless you do an activity that will call for it, but likely will be reachable over ipv6 link local.

You missed the point.

A friend of mine made a tea-timer app for the iPhone. Where you enter what tea you are making and it sets the correct number of minutes. Today, people would ask ChatGPT before they go on the App Store to search for something like that. That's the point. Not what YOU would do, but what the general public does. And for Jane Doe, ChatGPT has replaced a lot of these specialty apps.

Skills are great until they aren't. The problem is exactly what you say: You can literally create a skill by telling the LLM to create a skill. Which is... why the f do I need to make a skill if the AI already knows how to do it?

Properly created skills, that include reference material, specific instructions, and expert knowledge the LLM doesn't have or that's buried somewhere under 10 layers of reddit posts is genuinely useful. But most skills aren't. I'm constantly underwhelmed by hyped-up skills that, when I look at them, turn out to be bland, basic instructions.

Wait! What?

My phone boots just fine. And I have no network here (unless I want to stand in that "special spot" in my front yard to get a weak 5G bar).

Distortion was invented (discovered) by a touring blues bass guitarist who knocked an output tube loose. One half of a push-pull amp stage.

Didn't see an y support for this in the linked report.

A valid point. But it works to make the cost per officer higher. Reducing the number a given budget will support. The current emphasis is now on "more cops". I'm not certain this is the right way to go, given the population density of the USA (lower) compared to that of European countries. "A cop on every corner" when corners might be miles apart just won't cut it here. So John Q. Public will have to take responsibility for his own defense. Same holds true of "no go" neighborhoods in urban areas here. Smart cops is what we need. But part of "smart" includes technology. Like Flock.
