I imagine that it would be difficult to hold the knob in place on the touchscreen while you turn it, especially given that the car screen is close to vertical. If I'm understanding right, the knob for the Board is a simple cylinder (n

I think it's due to topsoil depletion, which is only partly affected by local forests. Trees reduce wind speed which helps reduce erosion from wind, but much of our topsoil is lost due to our agriculture practices.

To be completely honest, the reason I switched was for true-color support in my editor (vim), rather than being limited to just 256 colors.

I don't think it's worth it myself, but here are some of the features of the Samsung Bespoke fridge that use wifi: Notifications and Alerts: If the door is left open, or the fridge temperature is leaving safe temps, or the water f

I didn't think that these fridges locked the door. Is that a "child proofing" feature you can enable or something?

Yeah - they support HDR10 (the most common HDR), HDR10+ (adds per-scene tone-mapping, but is rare to see media for), but not Dolby Vision (which requires paying a license fee to the Dolby folks). I've heard that Netflix has added HDR10

I definitely don't know enough to say either way. On the one hand, general contract law seems to say that the terms of a contract can be pretty much anything as long as it's not ambiguous or grossly unfair. On the other, some real

To point one: Normally, no. However, this license does not ask that question, and says that if you let an AI read it, your license to use the software is now void.

I believe you're correct, but in the interest of drilling into this a bit - it looks like the models that cause the most pedestrian fatalities are pickups, but SUVs as a whole are responsible for more overall deaths (based on 2021 data

I don't think she's passing any judgment here - she pointed out earlier in the article that she knows people are into weird stuff, and didn't want to "yuck their yum."

Thanks. My first analogy was "a giant configurable pachinko machine you could use to simulate other pachinko machines," but thankfully the wind tunnel occurred to me halfway through writing the post.

Thanks for the reply and explanation. I admit that I'm not well-versed in quantum computers (trying to understand even basic quantum mechanics seems to elude me), and I deeply appreciate the link for further reading.

When you say "content you've never seen," does this include the training data and fine-tune content? You could imagine a sufficiently motivated attacker putting some very targeted stuff in their training material - think Stux

To me, it matters because it's a sign that it might not be particularly transferable as a method of computation. A wind tunnel is a great tool for solving aerodynamics and fluid flow problems, more efficiently than a typical computer.

They are of course, but it's amortized over many users. If you're a small company, it's hard to hire one-tenth of an SRE.

Sure - but when AWS goes down, Amazon fixes it, even on the weekends. If you self-host, you need to pay a person to be on call to fix it.

Just a quibble - children learn object permanence at around six months of age. Also, I don't think the jury is quite in on cows - I've seen papers that argue both ways. One way we could quantify cow happiness, if we were interest

A much simpler explanation is that the device disabled itself after being unable to contact the cloud servers for X time (probably a bug), rather than an employee sending a kill command over the now-disabled cloud connection. The article is

I think they meant "interested in serial killers," not "likely to become a serial killer."
