You do not need to ask for consent to use functional cookies, only for ones that are used for tracking, which is why you’ll still have some cookies left afterwards and why properly coded sites don’t break from the rejection.

Most websites could strip out all of the 3rd party spyware and by doing so get rid of the popup entirely. They’ll never do it because money, obviously, and sometimes instead cripple their site to blackmail you into accepting them.

Or that we keep concentrating only on the total output. China has 4.2 times as many people as the US, yet their total Co2 emissions are only 2.4 times higher.

It’s like complaining that a family of four is eating too much food from the buffet when you have over half of their total amount on your own plate.

They keep building coal power plants because the total need of electricity in China is rapidly increasing, but they are also building everything else at an even higher rate so less of the total is actually generated by coal. Also many of them are replacing old obsolete plants with cleaner more efficient ones.

Many of them are also being built specifically because of the increase of renewable sources, to stabilize dips and provide reliability, so the overall usage of those plants has decreased.

That’s the benefit of using AI and machine learning - once you have enough source material, you can throw it all in and it’ll eventually spit out a model.
Which is exactly what Meta did with their Massively Multilingual Speech project which supports text-to-speech and speech-to-text for 1107 different languages.

Is it actually any good in 99% of them, I don’t have a clue, but it exists.

100kg-125kg (220-275lbs) are fairly common weight ratings yeah. Half of it is because the frame needs to handle you dropping a curb without snapping like a pretzel, but the other half is because gravity is a bitch and trying to go up even a small hill takes a lot of power.
Most escooters promise 25-30% climb capability, but hauling 300lbs up a 30% grade at just 10mph requires 2200 watts, while most smaller escooters max out at 500-1000W.
Even that 1000W is only enough for ~4.5mph.

We are going to hit an interesting spot in a few years when the processes run out of numbers to use - because the “x nm process” hasn’t been talking about the actual sizes for almost three decades (the 250nm process back in 1997 was one of the last ones).

The “2nm” process for example has a gate pitch of 45nm, and metal pitch of 20nm. Once they go below 42 and 16 - 1nm values - is it going to be the 0nm process? And -1nm after that?

Maximum GDPR fine is 4% of your revenue. For Lufthansa, that would be ~$1.4 billion, Air France ~$650 million, both of which are roughly their entire net income for one year.

Not sure if anyone has been hit with the maximum ever though, as everyone just keeps track of the dollars and not percentage of revenue.

Fully driverless cars are not legally allowed yet - they all need to have a driver in the drivers seat supervising

I’m fairly certain he pays every last cent he government asks of him.
The problem is that the government has been unwilling to ask for more, and the current one certainly won’t.

He has been advocating for higher taxes for while though, like backing the Washington Income Tax initiative with his father:

Bill Gates Sr., father of the Microsoft Corp. co-founder, and about two dozen other supporters of Initiative 1098 turned in 350,000 petition signatures Thursday in Olympia, many more than the roughly 241,000 required to get on the ballot. The campaign says it will turn in an additional 20,000 Friday. Gates said that it was time “to make our tax code fair for the middle class and small businesses.”

FSD (Supervised) is not for situations where there is no driver - it’s for situations where the driver wants to just supervise while the car drives itself.

The “(Supervised) Full Self Driving” isn’t for situations where the car is Full Self Driving, because Tesla has no functionality that meets SAE level 3/4/5 requirements for Full Self Driving. If you must supervise the driving, then it’s not full self driving.
Not a confusing naming at all.

But still down 20% from the start of the year, when Trump was supposed to make it soar.
It’s not going to survive this high for long with the abysmal sales figures coming from the rest of the world, even if the Musk cult currently still keeps pretending everything is going great.

Supervised self driving would be fine. “Full self driving” means SAE level 4 or 5, which the Tesla autopilot isn’t, and they don’t need “supervised” in the name as they are specifically for a situations where there simply is no driver - like a robotaxi - so there can be no supervision.

Russian sure is the more commonly known language than Ukrainian, but the russian invasion of Ukraine has lately boosted the idea that maybe we should start using the Ukranian transliterations instead, especially when talking about places and people from Ukraine - Kyiv/Kiev, Chornobyl/Chernobyl, Zeleskyy/Zelensky, and so on, instead of the way the russian say those names.

The actual answer: It should be Level 4 autonomy. It is capable of full self driving, but only in certain conditions.

Do note that Tesla autopilot is actually only SAE level 2, so it’s just a straight up lie :)

Reminds me of the parted out “made in the USA” Ford F150, which actually has components from 24 different countries.

“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, first you have to invent the universe”.

The software they are using is the original PebbleOS that was open-sourced only a few months ago (Pebble -> Fitbit -> Google -> Open Source) , so the “it can’t tell time” is just that they haven’t yet completed all the firmware changes necessary to enable the real-time clock in the completely new hardware they are using.

But it sure does sound hilarious when taken out of context.

Yes, but there are limitations on switching, iirc something like 6 months between being able to join a different family and so on. They don’t really matter for actual families, but does if you just want to share games with a bunch of friends.

The new company is called Core devices, it’s using old stock Pebble 2 cases to make the watch, and apparently the Duo stands for “do-over” - though I’m fairly sure they realized the c2d joke after the “core 2” part and just ran with it.

There hasn’t really been anything worthwhile to upgrade to yet. More powerful handhelds do exist, but most make use of APUs that are 50-100% more power hungry, while not actually achieving that much of a performance increase.

Valve is waiting for the next generation of 15W APUs, and meanwhile the new Ryzen Z2 A APU is actually based on the one made for the Deck because it’s still basically the most efficient APU they have.
