After years of other manufacturers building folding phones, you would think Apple would have bought them, dissected all of them to see how they are built, how to improve designs and what not. Other than a manufacturing defect in a few hinges, I don't understand how Apple would release something like this. No pun intended, but Apples integrity HINGED on this phone.

You might steal a trailer that is full of nickels. But now you need to somehow get rid of $50K worth of nickels.
There was a case in Germany, when silver prices exploded, and the 5 Mark (at that time a about $1.50 - the Dollar was pretty high, in our times Euro 2,50 - but by inflation perhaps only Euro 1), that count had about 65% silver.
People started to horde the coins to smelt them ... it pretty quickly lead to a replacement of those coins. I mean: a new kind of coin, mostly nickel, was introduced.

If you had a 2 or 3 yards wide TV monitor, with 24Hz refresh rate.
Watching tennis would be a pain.

The ball would jump in 5 inch (or more) jumps from left to right, and back.

With 120Hz or more, the ball flies in a curved, but connected, line.

The old mantra: a human eye can not distinguish reality from a 24Hz frame rate, is only true, if nothing particular interesting is happening in the 24Hz frame rate.

In a computer game, you anticipate where to shot at, for example. And that is based on your "perception". If you have a framerate, that deceives your perception, you are never able to aim accurately. Which basically boils down to: your accuracy does not matter. That is pretty odd, or? You aim as accurate as human possible: but the target is not there, because the refresh rate blurred it out of the cross hair.

Not sure what your point is.

If I click in the IDE: "refactor, extract method", it does exactly what I want.

I consider myself capable to tell an AI tool what to do. And I see instantly, after it is done: if it did what I wanted or did something else. Then you say: revert.

No, you vote for a position in alignment with you, not a person.
Nope.
Neither in Brazil nor France, you vote for some "alignment", you vote for a person.

Yes. That is my point. And in my example I mentioned THREE not two.
Did not look like 3 to me.

least some effort into understanding what someone wrote before *checks notes* saying their explanation sucks
You have a point :D

Oh, you do not mean yield.
Youn mean total harvest.

Obviously when more area is planted, there is more harvested.

Yield usually refers to yield per unit of land area. And that did not increase, but decrease.

And why does that type of theft not happen in other countries?

I am sure, you have an MAGA explanation, why that is so.

The size of the model has nothing to do with the size of a task.

Simple speaking, you run similar tasks thousands of times ... the parts of the model that are not relevant: never gets swapped in.

More concrete: you load a model that is specific for your task. Worst case it only can find cats in pictures, and gives you the x1,y1 - x2,y2 coordinates in the picture where it finds cats ...

Such a model is probably not even 100NM.

Like they did in Germany.
What did we do in Germany?
Your post makes no sense.

This is unwarranted optimism It is not.
In the EU they get phased out 2030.

And in Asian countries, literally no one is buying a new gasoline cars anyway.

Electric is cheaper and over all less hassle. Soon ICE cars can not compete on manufacturing costs ... a bit later they are only up for enthusiasts and prices for them will skyrock.

We are already moving strongly to electric farming equipment.

You Americans are simply out of the loop what is going on on the planet.

Yields are not up.

They are pretty random, recent years, and certainly not up.

Look at your supermarket. Would prices go up if yields go up?

Your methodology is the equivalent of using Barreâ(TM)s Somalia to represent modern U.S. agricultural trends.

You are talking about USA ... you should have mentioned that.
I talk about THE WORLD.

Which part of "electricity from the grid, when it is dark". do you not get?
Where does your electricity come from right now?

Wow, does that magically go away when you put solar on your roof?

Agreed.

Obviously the secret parts are secret.
The rest is not.

And you American morons: know nothing about the OPEN parts of the space program.

Because if you knew - I gave several examples - you would simply be ashamed about yourselves.

And that: is the American overlord not letting going to happen to its subjects.

So: Chinese citizens are proud about their science and space program - and Americans are ashamed.

No idea what your stupid rant is about.

How many satellites does the US have around, at any Larange point?

Oh trick question ... I guess you want to google and miss the point :P So reread my previous post about "retrograd larange point orbiting satellite constellation".

China is ruled by Science - America is ruled by a kleptomanic Mob.

No idea what your post is about.

It has nothing to do with my post.
