We'll take your jobs, losers. And our grid has more renewables than California.

It is an interesting paper and it is clever. But the threat of someone knowing my vehicle tire pressure (and thereby inferring weight) etc. is not something I'd worry about. After all, one could discretely check the tire pressure of my parked car without me knowing. And from the tread pattern, could tell a lot about driving habits. And if they wanted to track my vehicle around town, they can look at the license plate.
In other words, this can already be easily ascertained. But still cool paper. I don't think auto manufacturers will be moving to encrypted tire sensors anytime soon.
The most remarkable part of this story is that a government had a program, it didn't get the planned result, so they ended it. This is unheard of.
Most governments would double-down.
Quoting "$800" is meaningless without a baseline price. The actual price increase is between 10% and 12%. Which is annoying and stupid, but hardly shattering news.
No one used Chegg for serious study. It is an answer platform. And how there are free AI resources that provide even better answers. So Chegg is doomed.
EMT does not mean the market is always "rational". It states, roughly, that there is no consistently risk-adjusted _profitable_ way to predict market movements. Within EMT, there are strong forms (never possible) and weak forms (possible with insider information).
But this weeks movements in the stock market in no way disproves market efficiency or the wisdom of passive/index investing. To the contrary, I haven't seen any geniuses pop up saying "I told you last week that this was going to happen, and I made a ton of money shorting NVDA".
They added AI to their Logi Tune software not long ago. After some backlash, they made it able to be disabled, and not run in the background all the time. But subscription mice are the second step in the wrong direction. I've used Logitech mice since 1991, but I think I'll be looking somewhere else next time.
The problem with Microsoft search isn't a lack of AI. The problem is it doesn't work. It does not effectively search your hard disk, instead trying to pull in stupid web results that are irrelevant.
Everything (voidtools.com) fixes what's broken in Windows search and is fast, lightweight, and simple. And doesn't need "AI"
They were pointless. Last thing I need after spending thousands on some hardware is a sticker to advertise that I spent thousands on the hardware.
Plus, cows are a renewable resource. They operate off ordinary grass without any additional greenhouse gasses required, and turn it into leather and delicious steaks. Truly an environmental miracle.
