USA worships almost unfettered capitalism, which is why they are such a rich country but at the expense of their less capable citizens.
USA has insanely poor worker rights (termination, sick pay, mandatory paid holidays) and a completely broken health care system with outrageous expenses and second world public infrastructure. But.. in conversations I’ve had with Americans they kind of go meh, to any change.
shorts suck. I click the 3 dots and say don’t show me shorts. Then next day they are back again. Then in mobile they are starting to indistinguishable to regular videos. Shorts need to die in a fire, but YT wants a tick-tock equivalent doom scroller.
It was pretty evident to us EE’s within a few days that it was likely an AC inertia sync issue, primarily caused by green energy and lack of spinning mass. Ideologically driven left governments don’t particularly appreciate engineering and the risk and complexity of large power grids and just want more solar and wind, damn the risks.

You can’t say Germans don’t have a sense of humour after watching that movie
The infuriating thing is these people are usually correct. They are like the ultimate petty bureaucrats, happy to put their mother on a train because that’s the rules.
At this stage, it sounds like money laundering amongst the ultra rich.
I’ve heard cock pits harbour all sorts of bacteria.
I have been an EV driver for about 10 years (Nissan Leaf and Tesla M3). What Brembo is not commenting on is how the usage pattern of brake discs of EVs (including hybrids with enough battery) is radically different from ICE vehicles.
ICE vehicles use their brakes continually, every time they slow down. EVs regenerate the energy instead to refill the battery, that's why several models can be driven with a single pedal (raising the foot will slow down the car). Brakes in EVs tend to be used mostly for stationing (which does not wear the pads) and emergency braking or other special cases (very steep downhill, battery 100% full and few others). This means that particulate emission from EV brakes is already negligible.
This also means that, while ICE brakes wear regularly, EV brakes wear so slowly that they sometime rust instead, resulting in lower performance when an emergency occurs and they are suddenly needed. Here in Norway, automobile clubs and insurance companies actually recommend EV drivers to speed and brake hard once in a while to maintain brake pads efficiency.
So I would be more impressed if Brembo had produced a more rust-resistant brake pad that maintains performance even after being subject to salt and other corrosive conditions for weeks, because I never remember to do that hard brake thing (which implies finding a place where you can do it safely). That would be a brake pad that lasts a lot longer, possibly the entire life of the vehicle.
That’s why I use magnetic adapters on all my iPad and Android stuff.
This looks like an alarming extension of copyright overreach if such restrictions are applied to AI. AI reads content (which may be copyrighted, as this post you are reading is, as nearly everything on the Internet is) and learns from it, and that's how it can process a book and provide a summary within a few minutes.
If this were an infringement of copyright, basically any form of human learning would also be. Just reviewing a book, a game, anything copyrighted could be constructed as infringement and prosecuted. Parodies, tributes, quotations. Imagine Leni Riefenstahl suing George Lucas for the final scene of the original Star Wars.
If an AI generates text that is substantially a copy of a copyrighted training input, that's a copyright breach; but AIs can be trained to avoid this, just like people can - learn the concept, avoid copying the form.
The report of the Copyright Office contains the following statement on page 26:
The steps required to produce a training dataset containing copyrighted works clearly implicate the right of reproduction. Developers make multiple copies of works by downloading them; transferring them across storage mediums; converting them to different formats; and creating modified versions or including them in filtered subsets. In many cases, the first step is downloading data from publicly available locations, but whatever the source, copies are made—often repeatedly.
That's the same way any browser operates. For that sake, a lot of browsers pre-download links on a page, so that copies are made locally before any action is taken by the user. Proxy servers also make local copies of often-requested files. If this is infringement, anyone who ever accessed the Internet is a criminal. What if you move a legally-owned copyrighted file from one hard disk partition to another? That would technically require creating a copy.
In practice, the line is drawn when you start distributing (other people's) copyrighted works, which also is the only enforceable one. That is what should be required of AI engines.
Obviously the reason is another: owners of copyrighted work do not want AI to learn their concepts and re-express them (which has always been legal for humans), because their customers will find it easier to ask the AI rather than pay/read the original documents themselves, busting their business model.
Of the many counties I’ve visited, USA has always felt the most third world.
I think they built lots of infrastructure post WWII into the 70s, but being built primarily on capitalism (rather than a mix of socialism and capitalism like most other countries) and don’t tax me bro, have let all that infrastructure decline.

Why wait for Veeam when Proxmox comes with Proxmox Backup Server?
If you could put atomic clocks in cell towers, that would give a more robust to jamming RF source for accurate positioning.
Plus you might only need firmware upgrades in phones that now use SDRs to make it useable on the client side.
