I saw him once eating lunch at a mall in downtown Omaha. I probably could have gone up and talked with him. He seemed a bit anxious for attention, like hoping people would recognize him and talk to him. I didn't see anyone go up and talk to him the entire time I was there. Kind of the opposite of Steve Martin, who can't stand the attention his celebrity has created for himself. If you meet him, he'll likely hand you a business card that says, "I have met Steve Martin." That said, I've also heard of people who made a great splash with him and he'd invite them to join he and his wife to join them at the dinner table at the restaurant. He lives near where I live, so at some point I'm sure I'll encounter him.

Or gets them.

When I was in a place where there was constant 5G connectivity and it was rural enough that there wasn't a lot of cell traffic, I dumped my cable provider and exclusively used my cell phone as a tether for internet. It was fast enough for my purposes and faster than the 13mb connection I used to have years ago.

Update: confirmed, the cameras are gone.

AI programmers need to understand the difference between "rules" and "boundaries" and then apply that to their code. The former is specific to one specific case. AI is still permitted to do things that don't follow those specific rules. Boundaries are abstract instead. They can apply more universally. Ex: Don't do X specific thing vs Do what you want to gather information, but don't hack into sites to get it and don't browse by any means properties belonging to our restricted list. The former allows AI to go around that specific thing, like getting another system to perform the task. The latter indicates abstract principles: going to any restricted site, even with a bypass, is inappropriate.

Anybody else remember the Woke movement doing the same kinds of things? I'm an independent. I can't stand either party.

"This is true for ALL cars made in the last 10 years, unless you disassembled your car and destroyed the modem, which also voids your warranty and potentially cripples your car by disabling software updates and subscriptions which are becoming mandatory."

My 2013 car doesn't have a cell connection, but does have a Garmin GPS. That's why I'm liking older cars more and more: no tracking. Regardless, I actually have to retract my statement. I live next to a national forest. Unless I'm mistaken, notably missing yesterday were the cameras, as in even the poles had been removed. Either the law was changed, a court case was lost or I was looking in the wrong place. I'm pretty certain I was looking in the right place, though.

I've owned 5. Z Flip, Z Flip 3, Z Flip 4 (x2) and Z Flip 5. Every one prior to the 5 is great. The 5 and later are terrible because the external screen got too big, defeating the purpose of a folding phone: durability. My original only died about a month ago after years of use. It was subjected to countless drops by hospital staff during a 5 week hospital stay. Still worked until the screen shorted along the fold line. I've recommended phones prior to the 5 here multiple times. My original was replaced by a second 4.

Why are we loaning a company that makes billions per quarter money for this project?

People did complain and I'm one of them. Entrances and exits to National Parks and National Forests now have cameras at their entrances to record visitors entering and leaving via a vehicle on a road. The only private way to enter such parks now is by foot.

I don't support people moving to the US illegally, but I also don't support this policy. While it can be used for enforcement, it is clearly unconstitutional. I don't understand why police departments think they can get away with stuff like that even know it will be overturned by the courts. On the surface I think that law enforcement agencies should be fined for this kind of activity with the money coming directly out of their budgets so that agencies get the message, but if that's done, it is us, the tax payers that end up footing the bill, either via a tax increase or poor police response.

And people wonder why I only have a PS3 and never replaced my PS4 when it broke. Funny how the PS3 from nearly 20 years ago still works.

Just the roads and the traffic lights remind me of when I used to live in South Florida. The roads bleach easily because of the sun and the traffic lights are built to withstand hurricanes. Even the road signs on the lights at the intersections are dead on perfect for what you'd see down there.

Where does Android fall within this? Android is like the Windows 9x era: something running on top of DOS, but in this case Linux. It's harder to get to a Linux shell, but it's underneath the covers.

Some believe that the 2020 election was rigged via mail-in ballots. I'm not one of them. However, I do believe that the opportunity was there. I also believe that limited law enforcement on-site was also an issue. It's also documented that Pelosi blew off Trump's warning and that the Capitol Police were ill equipped to handle the actions of the Proud Boys, every one of them who attempted to break in should still be in jail. I also, from clear video evidence, see that most people inside there saw things as more of a tour of the Capitol than an insurrection once inside.
