What a ride that is, especially for Doom players going in blind.

Depends on the cat. If they’re simply going with tapping the roll to spin it, that may work for a bit. I’ve found that rolls accessible to a cat tend to morph into big balls of clawed unusable pulp.

Usenet. Go back to the base level.

First I was mad, then I was sad.

Related, but I’d say Falcon Heavy is. Especially if you add in the dual booster landings.

Especially in situations like this where it’s quite possible it would cost less to go back to the basics of better pay and training to create willing workers. Maybe the initial cost was less than what they have to spend to improve things, but add in all the backtracking and cost of mistakes, I doubt it.

That explains it. I read the title and wondered how they are doing prethought crime.

Understanding the variety of speech over a drive-thru speaker can be difficult for a human with experience in the job. I can’t see the current level of voice recognition matching it, especially if it’s using LLMs for processing of what it managed to detect. If I’m placing a food order I don’t need a LLM hallucination to try and fill in blanks of what it didn’t convert correctly to tokens or wasn’t trained on.

Carbon monoxide also contribute to ozone breakdown, and there are additional manmade substances similar to CFCs with chlorine and bromine that are still leaked. Environmental changes in the Antarctic also can increase ozone depletion as well as longer lasting cold air in the stratosphere (observed in 2020 in the Arctic). The mention of emissions was just to suggest that smaller reactions can get lost in all the other problems we have created, although wildfire increases are raising CO.

I didn’t see a mention in the paper on what amount the bump up would be with the maximum amount of AlO2 distributed in the layers of the atmosphere where the reactions would occur. When emissions are in the trillions of tons, I wonder if it would even be measurable.

At least the article came with the numbers. Given what I regularly read about all the pollutants we daily pump into the atmosphere, the numbers in this article for the materials being atomized is…well, they’re very small in scale.

Basically, if a few hundred tons per year is hurting the ozone (and other things), just imagine what the billions of tons per year of emissions does.

Spore made a huge impact, not only in mainstreaming the idea of an evolving game but in the ability to control characteristics and shape interactively and easily. Plus being able to share creations online was huge, even though so many of them ended up in certain shapes (humans being humans). Where I think Spore failed is in trying to rush through the first stages and get to the “civilization” parts. It would have better if it had a slower pace staying within the animal world. They also failed when they dumbed down and sanitizing the original game, which was much more violent (see the demo with Robin Williams)…but that’s how nature is.

Thrive is very impressive, but it might be too realistic in its complexity and trying to include everything and that will keep it from getting popular. If I remember you can dial it back some, but it’s still very technical compared to the simplicity that made Spore work. Maybe there can’t be a good middle ground.

Is it a physical HD (magnetic) and making noise? I had one years ago (fortunately my only failure so far) and if I kept persisting to try and read it via a USB recovery drive, I managed to pull enough data off that was important. If it’s a newer SSD, that’s a different thing. Doesn’t mean all the data is gone, just a lot harder (read $$$) to pull. Hopefully it’s just software or a loose cable.

Does playing a white guy playing a black guy count?

“What do you mean, you people?”

“What do YOU MEAN, you people??”

And Apple gets more usage. It’s a win-win for both companies.

Probably size. Often times that seems to be the problem, where to put the battery since Teslas are built with it already part of the chassis. OP’s question stemmed from just tearing down to the battery and frame, and there’s a lot more to it than that. The question would be, what is the minimum needed of a Tesla to work?

Also, I don’t know much of a Tesla battery is internally managed vs. outside, but I think the interface is a lot more than just a red and black wire.

Also-also…in the spirit of this particular forum, moving from a ICE to an EV is a very small percentage of a solution since it’s still a car with all the baggage, just a bit less pollution in the air.

Very. It’s a lot more complicated than just a battery, it’s a complex management system that, despite the reputation of Tesla for manufacturing details and their CEO for…well, himself, is very impressive. You’d need to keep or reinvent most of that to avoid cell failures (and fire).

If you’re really serious about a small DIY EV, look into the kits that are available to modify existing ICEs into EVs. Not quite the power level, but they do work pretty well if you don’t mind the complexity of the work in strip down and rebuild. And often times they do use used/refurbished Tesla batteries in their makeup.

That emphasized my point. If someone feels that they had always been a certain way in the past even though they didn’t look it or act it in public, there is no “other side” of themselves. I’m not trying to change the vocabulary, just was an observation of using a word past its usual meaning. That’s how words evolve.

The narrow purpose models seem to be the most successful, so this would support the idea that a general AI isn’t going to happen from LLMs alone. It’s interesting that hallucinations are seen as a problem yet are probably part of why LLMs can be creative (much like humans). We shouldn’t want to stop them, but just control when they happen and be aware of when the AI is off the tracks. A group of different models working together and checking each other might work (and probably has already been tried, it’s hard to keep up).

That makes sense, but then the term “transition” seems incorrect. More of a “resolution”.
