Pretty sure iPhone 15+ will have 3D recording so this is just marketing right now.

I am massively looking forward to revisit this thread 5 years from now and find out which of the know-it-all comments have aged like milk or, conversely if it bombs, what the initial reaction was to Apple's hardest modern failure.

'german salt' sounds funny to me. Let's say you're buying the most popular and common brand, Bad Reichenhall. This is your selection: https://www.bad-reichenhaller.de/en/products.html In most superm

It's on the label and you can decide to just buy the non-fluoride version. Not sure how salt in processed food or restaurants is used though - this is the 'out-of-control' factor here.

Will Gov-GPT then invent answers and generate a profile that is a potpourri of several random folks details? If you need clear facts without the possibility for r/confidentlyincorrect material then I don't believe GPTs are the too

German here. Cars are one hallmark of our economy. We are behind as well. The Chinese are absolutely crushing it in Asia and Middle East now. Volkswagen had a market share of ICE cars of ~20%, for EVs it's now closer to 1%. EVs are way

Apart from the other answers, I want to add that there is a significant difference between loneliness and solitude. Loneliness is when you're alone but don't want to be. Solitude is when you're alone but perfectly content wit

But that depends on which interactions it replaces. There are people I don't want to talk to. Not always because I don't like them but because it's technicalities and unrewarding forced interactions. For example, clerks at

You could also argue that we should try to follow a formula where high population density = low car use and vice versa. I live in a large European metropolitan region with excellent public transport and bicycle infrastructure - at least com

But CO2 emissions are not the only criteria for moving to electric cars. Ease of production, ease of repair, simpler technology than ICE, reduction of distributed emissions and pollution (air in the cities), just to count a few more... Ev

The complexity of such a situation seems to escape some. Instead they assume (and accuse) we are making a dedicated effort to arm Nazis in Ukraine. This is clearly not the case, it's more akin to collateral damage. In that regard, ther

I "loudly" put a tiny snack on the floor. It doesn't matter where the cat is, after 300ms delay it's basically a grey flash and then he's there.

Every button with major function can have different surfaces and haptics according to function. After driving a car for a week or two I typically get really good at just using buttons without looking. But that's just subjective. The VW

Hard disagree. Point 1: I think the failure to respond in time is, while annoying, a minor problem. The real issue is that you HAVE to look to navigate 3 different incosistent submenus instead of just turning a knob using haptics only (unle

I will never understand a lot of my young peers in Europe who as students decided to do poverty travel. Those are the folks who enjoy this article about Benares. It is comparable to looking at poor people in the zoo and celebrating yourself

What fascinates me about this thought is that being a genetic winner in modern society could just mean you were qualified enough to donate to a sperm bank. No more successful relationships or sinister ways of ensuring genetic survival are r

Fully agreed! I suspect that there will always be this subtle risk of catastrophic failure though, something observed in a lot of AI systems. The scrutiny filter may become less relevant but will likely not be less needed to prevent 1 in 10

Single stories of LLM success are just as problematic as single stories of LLM failures. As always. The fact is that we have a dangerous tool at hand that absolutely REQUIRES skepticism if you are trying to get *facts* out of it. I agree th

So is this officially a trend now? Just drown the bad news in a massive pool of other bad news about other companies? Good time to soften the blow of bad PR? It doesn't cause too much attention when you lay off 10-15% of your workforce

This is a tad bit insensitive. I have excelled at public school for the first years, then there was a rough patch in life caused by parents which TANKED my grades and social life for years. I recovered and eventually got an excellent Master
