I started lurking in 4K enthusiast groups to see if they were all cracked up to be. The arguments about relative quality of various BD/4K releases isn't even the most interesting part.
It turns out that there are a lot of issues with set top boxes playing particular disks. The disks themselves also seem terribly fussy.
again, false statement.
the remote ops do NOT 'drive' the car 100% of the time. what percentage? we dont know but I'd guess its less than 10%, probably even lower.
nothing is level 5 yet. get that in your head. no one claims level 5, either.
what I'd like to know is how often waymo needs 'help' remotely vs tesla vs any other.
I suspect that tesla that is sensor-poor needs 10x as much help as waymo.
(I used to work in car biz, in a self driving car co.)
Let me add to this, I've never seen in the whole world any law as stupid as USA's holy Second Amendment. Yes, maybe it made sense for a period between 1774 and 1800, but after that... it's just keeping your beloved homeland anchored to a period long gone, with consequences in its culture (how come it is normal and customary to own a gun, FFS) and in the danger to its society.
"Al tirtzah" (as the commandment says) means "you should not murder".
"Al taharog" would mean "you should not kill".
And, of course, there are many other verbs that could be used instead (i.e. slaughtering animals).
I find the issue to be even worse... Presenting two years of slop as if it were research carried out with actual knowledge and intelligence is even worse. Of course, I won't be surprised to know the researcher had submitted and was approved for publication at various journals.
Particularly when the screen writers are Gemini, ChatGPT and their friends.
Most of us Spanish-speakers are as American as any USA citizen. If you are going to set up a gringo ban to Europe, we don't want to be left out. Leave the USA to USAmericans, and leave the rest of the continent gringo-free.
I am Mexican. Oh, but I do "look European", and have traveled all over the world, and have a quite good level of English, and hold a PhD, and have a good job with 20+ years of stability, and what not. I have been several times to the USA, to cities all over the map. And I have a valid USA visa. I know that I would have no problem visiting. Still, no way.
I got my visa (and used it, years ago) because there's always an interesting conference that happens there. There is also a good chance of finding good flights elsewhere that has a layover in the USA.
But no, for several years, I have decided I am not setting foot there. Who needs to go to the USA, frankly? Even interesting tech and academic conferences are leaving the USA, so I'm not missing out so much by sticking to countries whose politicians don't promise to make me feel unwelcome.
his followers often hurt and do worse things, when sent in a direction from their leader.
d's dont do that, but r's do. that's the whole reason why congress is frozen solid. they all want to LIVE and not have to pay 10x for security when the leader says 'this person should be taught a lesson'. in so many words.
its not that they have or dont have backbone; but when thugs are sent to kill you, the notion of free speech is meaningless.
this is the key. his followers are killers. his ice gang are losers who cant get any other job and just love to bash heads.
its ALL about violence. I understand them being afraid.
but its their fucking fault for empowering him in the first place!
ob disc: I used to work for nio usa.
batt swap is a great idea and its been done well. tesla tried it for a very short while and gave up. too bad.
one use case not always mentioned: you run out of juice and you are too far from a charging station or maybe you are in a hurry or just dont mind paying the convenience fee for a local drive-up swap. yes, they can do that. you can be on your way with a 'full tank' in very short order. no idea how common it is; usually you drive to one of the swap garages and it guides you in, you stay in your car the whole time, robots lower the old batt and raise up the new one.
the kinks are worked out.
dont bash on this cause its china. it IS and will continue to be a good idea.
china pulled it off since it was NOT adverse to ev's. in fact, they see ev's as their future, so the gov was eager to install all the infra they could.
during the very early T days, we still, as a country (usa) were going full speed ahead. car companies were doing well and we, the workers, did well.
then, the presidency changed and all went to hell after that. he picked his gas buddies over ev tech and the country is now suffering for it.
I'm 99% batt swap will never hit consumer cars in the US. monied interests dont want it. they know its their demise. their argument of '30 minute fillups' goes away with this. and you buy the car sans batt and so you always have a rental batt. you get used to it. upside: you never have a long-term battery that gets bad and bad. all swap batts are maintained so that no one gets a truly bad batt.
when you read the comments, you can see who has an open mind and who is a paid shill for a certain viewpoint.
Oh, it was beautiful and clear. But what I've seen from people browsing habits in the last several years is that they will enter the URL they want to go to, but not in the browser address bar â" in the search field of the content area. Just informing Google what they *already know* how to get to â" for no reason at all. Even well-versed users do this. It sickens me every time I see somebody use a computer.
This is an invaluable resource, and makes me very happy. I don't have any issues accessing the ACM DL, both because I am an ACM member (Senior Member, hah!) and because my university pays for our access, and I basically don't notice the paywalls when working from my office (and from home, a ssh tunnel works wonders
the hunger by the 1% to remove as much humanity from the workplace is sickening.
they fully know they are destroying the middle and lower classes (even more than they already have).
they, like the R party, just dont care. they think they are rich and insulated enough. they never cared what their own people need. the 'let them eat cake' time has come back again, but even worse.
there will be no thought to social systems needed to support the unemployed (which will be many of us, given enough time).
I'm glad I'm retiring soon. I would not want to compete in a job market that bosses think can be done by computer, alone.
and I would not want to be the 'prompt meister' to try to coax answers from the machines that make sense.
some see a great future with AI. I see nothing but doom and gloom. the greed factor is strong in humans and the class disparity will cause rioting and civil wars.
maybe not wars. the US has created a special police force that is above the law, so any uprisings will EASILY be dealt with. they thought about that. ICE is not just for foreigners. its a general purpose police force answerable only to 1 person.
people, please show me I'm wrong. but all signs point to a very bad future for 95% of the 'thinks for a living' workforce.
Educational standards have been declining for a long time. It hasn't just recently gotten bad because of Corona. Both math and English instruction have declined to the point that people like you are making excuses for remedial instruction in college.
The sabotage is intentional even if those doing it don't think they are engaging in sabotage. This is painfully obvious if you interact with the K12 education system.
Parents these days have to more to repair the damage done by professionals.
