I think that combustion engines will make a come back, and we're at a false peak. I believe that due to a poor economic outlook, we see more people purchasing from the used-car market than new vehicles. I personally have seen a recent

Writing docs for software is something that in theory LLMs should be great at. It's clear they are useful, and that developers generally do not like writing them, and that LLMs are good at condensing complex information into easier to

I think the format I suggested would parse in markdown, but I created it pre-markdown. For me the best parts are: 1. You could write a parser very quickly. 2. It's very easy to edit and add to as a human. 3. It can easily be tracked in

I think it's somewhat passable with line-based tools, i.e. you could easily use sed to match a range [1]. I think that it's far more important that it is human readable, if it becomes too tricky to edit manually, then just go with

Firstly, it's pretty crazy they allow words to be associated like this. You would think that such a large company would check for this. You could end up with some extremely awkward suggestions. I would probably have some process for do

Exactly this. In the pages and pages of terms and conditions, this will likely be covered, plus a lot of these services are opt-out. By not unticking "train on my workspace data" hidden several matrix layers deep, you are probably

In theory you have the likes of the PinePhone where you can run a full Linux kernel [1]. You could then use something like Waydroid to run Android apps [2]. I think the biggest concern is that many of the important apps are anti-emulation,

If you go too far right or left, both types of authoritarianism are difficult to distinguish. I think this just makes the case that every election you need to be a swing voter, make sure your politicians still overlap with your ideals. Appl

It's the same in the UK. Pensioners had their heating allowance removed to plug a £22 bn 'black hole', whilst tonnes of money is pledged to AI. I can imagine the EU is in a similar state.
