I always assumed that scanning a boarding pass means it's marked as "used" and would flag up if scanned again. Or at the very least, previous scans would immediately show up so the attendant can verify.

It will depend on the person, but I think generally speaking, a song is but one aspect of an artist / the art of music; if you're a mass consumer that just has something playing in the background, it probably doesn't make a j

> give this tech another year or two and it will be better quality than your average radio song. TBH that's a pretty low bar; "radio" songs have been engineered and polished for a very long time now. I have no hard numbers

Internationally people would be streaming it, but TBH the images of the thing itself aren't that impressive and the video stream compresses well. I did like seeing a timelapse of a city as the eclipse happened.

It's not an unpopular opinion, a lot of people like things to be quiet and peaceful; if it wasn't for job opportunities and boredom I suspect a lot of people would prefer to live in the countryside (in the broadest sense of the wo

It feels like Starcraft 2 was the last traditional RTS; I suspect part of that is because other developers think their game wouldn't have a chance without competitive multiplayer as tight as SC2's. That said, there's still so

It was also one of the first games to make use of multicore CPUs, although it was far from ideal and ultimately you ran into a cap on one core's CPU usage regardless since one thread still had to do more than anything that could be def

Yes, or, there will be; the numbers are coming in from 10 year old EVs / cars that have done >600K kilometers and the batteries seem fine. Mind you, these are mainly teslas. Second, there is an influx starting of secondhand electric

I mean that's a big one, batteries should be easily removable and replaceable. I'm sure there will be legislation for that soon, although disappointed it isn't there already.

Counterpoint: they put a deposit/return on smaller plastic bottles and cans over here, but last year only 65% of cans were returned instead of just binned. (as an aside I don't really understand that as cans and plastic bottles ar

Nah; the artists entered an agreement with Spotify, it's legally on board. If the artist believes Spotify breached contract they can either end it one-sidedly, or try and sue but I'm confident Spotify's side is rock solid.

by Cthulhu_ 3y ago
No same, I don't get it; 1000 streams a year is not an unrealistic goal, and Spotify is flooded with low-effort garbage - and this will get worse with AI generated stuff.
4308.
by Cthulhu_ 3y ago
Cool prediction, but false; AI generated music will be added to the pile of genres. Honestly there's an existing factory of low effort music being churned out already, AI will become part of that existing pipeline. There will be more m

No, that's gross violation of privacy; no such thing as anonymized recordings.

That's wishful thinking though. That said, AI tech is or is quickly becoming freely accessible; unless they have a USP, free / homemade versions will end up competing with the paid services, and it's hard to compete with free

"I'm not crazy!" "That's what a crazy person would say!" Honestly once you're at the whims of an overzealous psychologist you're boned. Potentially. I hope the real Woods gets to sue everyone involved

Indeed, they gave each hit 20 seconds - if that - to manually verify. That said, airstrikes, drones etc already add a layer of indirection and detachment. The thing that this "AI" tool allowed was to mark targets faster, or if you

Time for binary sort or an elimination chart; take every character, compare them to another, sort them as to which one you prefer. Then assign a number to each one of them.

It depends on why you play though; the "combinatorial explosion of overhead" is only a problem if you're trying to min/max, if you play for fun it's more "What character do I like" or "What wings do I

> loaded with ingredients that might not jive with the human neurological system. This seems... handwavey at best, do you know of any concrete ingredients with proven negative effects on the neurological system or is this pure conjecture
