In my experience, someone who is new to EVs will tend to do a lot of short, fast accelerations to explore how the vehicle performance. That happens mostly in the early stages of using an EV and after a while they settle in to a more normal

And yet, with a touch screen laptop I did use it extensively without needing to change the UI as I never used it exclusively. People use different features differently. Not particularly profound but still pertinent.

I like that. I used to have a car that would give that kind of polite honk with a light press and a louder honk with a harder press. I’ve always wished that were still a thing.

yes, that is it. I wonder why they are not using that now? Maybe was too much extra mass and they thought that they could do a proper landing now?

Siri is 10 years old, and even then, the tech was probably not cutting edge. Apple bought much of Siri from another company and we have heard that they ended up having to do a lot of hand coded cases and that it was so complicated that they

In college, I took some apptitude/interest tests to figure out what major I should switch to. At the end, I got a code to lookup in their index and it said "bookbinder". The description did indicate that this was an occupatio

I hope that there are standard interfaces like intents that Apple and third parties can publish that expose their functionality. That would make it easier to use them in a more modular fashion, through automation, through Siri voice, or thr

They just changed it so that, with the laptop lid closed, the M3 Airs and MBP support two external monitors.

that is what a lot of people have been asking for. Lid closed = 2 external monitors.

Any browser can use massive amounts of RAM if you open a lot of tabs. Especially if they are running a lot of JS that doesn't release its memory properly. There are some sites I can go to that just continue to chew away at the RAM as l

I no longer have it but for quite a while I used a touch screen Windows laptop. I found touch useful and natural for some actions. I never expected to use it for everything. No worries about gorilla-arm. For me it was about having a mix of

I don't expect Apple to product an answerbot clone of ChatGPT. That would not play to Apples strengths and would not provide much unique benefit to Apple, it's platform, or its customers. What I do expect is for them to use LLM-st

I saw a diagram of a lander, maybe just a prototype, that was constructed like a truncated tetrahedron. It would end up on either the bottom, or one of three sides. Once it landed the three sides would open up. no matter which orientation,

I have heard the term “nominative determinism” for that phenomenon. New Scientist magazine used to frequently publish examples found by them or submitted by readers.

Yes, this is often mentioned in discussions of Alzheimer’s disease. It is so far defined based on symptoms, but without a true cause, there is no certainty that the is one cause.

It is easier to make money by investing in expensive housing than investing in cheap housing. You can sell both, so why tie up your assets in something with less return?

not really a contract issue. GM was not under any obligation to Apple to continue to use their service. GM seems to not care about it's customer's desires in this issue, either.

We use some AI for the first level of customer support. It can provide standard answers to common questions and help with routine action requests, but it is backed up by human operators for anything more complex and customers can opt out of

Women’s watches were smaller and were more likely to be integrated with the watch band. That tended to square off the case. The actual watch face was still based on hands moving in a circle. Men’s watches when they are integrated with the b

The “consumption” of fossil fuels is not the important metric from a climate change perspective. It is the CO2 emissions that result from that consumption. There is a direct relationship between the amount of consumption of fossil fuels and

Possibly. What happens to mine tailings and slag from other smelting operations? BTW referring to it as “huge deposits” is likely exaggerating. There are currently only a small number of battery packs that have failed to the point of being

They often do replace/repair equipment for no charge even after a warranty is expired. It seems to be up to the local store manager.

Yes, but it is common for new languages and frameworks for there to be lots of change in the first few version. Then it matures and settles down. AFAIK Swift is not regularly making large changes, anymore.
