I don't think that there are any cars that are accessible in the way you've mentioned. It seems like too niche of a use case in exchange for more complexity and time to develop. These systems are usually built for drivers first an

Yeah, it's both an earlier development, and it also doesn't really apply fully. In almost all modern aircraft, aural alerts are only used for very dangerous situations that require immediate pilot action. However, there are still

To me, widespread facial recognition isn't that different from an ID... except you're always obligated to walk with your ID taped to your forehead. Once the system is in place, expanding it to other locations could be a trivial ta

Honestly, I don't think I really agreed with the article. The whole premise, while an interesting hook, is kind of pointless when looked at factually - the reason why people speak to LLMs "like a human" isn't because of

I mean, yeah, there are multiple reasons. Outside of MS having to write something that's universally compatible with way more hardware, it's also that Windows is very anachronistic and backwards-compatible in comparison to macOS.

I don't think the comparisons with Gmail/YouTube are really fair or accurate. YouTube doesn't have any real major competition - and not only did they never want to become a subscription-based premium streaming service, they d

I think points 2 and 3 only really apply if we assume the number of problems encountered with LaTeX and Typst are roughly similar. After all, how much of an issue is finding solutions if you never run into issues in the first place? And thi

Who decided that they should have the power to rule over this? Not only does it appear to be legal, but deciding that dataset compilation is inherently immoral and consent-violating would represent a draconian expansion of IP law that almos

Honestly, I wouldn't mind paying for Premium if it didn't cost as much as it does. I wish they'd rolled out the Premium Lite plan worldwide, but they just axed it instead, so it seems that it won't be coming back anytime

This analogy doesn't really apply to the situation here, because the difference between a personal and commercial license isn't what's at stake. Comparing watching a movie on your own vs making money off of it in theaters is

You could tie essentially any two crimes by assigning more broad descriptors to them that'd boil down to "this is what countries want to discourage". Not to mention, half of this is just wrong - digital piracy most often isn&

But theft is quite a different thing, is it not? It's a physical act that someone can be caught engaging in - be it by another person, a guard or a security camera. Sure, the "barrier for entry" to commit it is low, but retai

No, this has been directly confirmed by Nintendo developers at various points. For people to even be able to try SMB, they'd have to be convinced that the NES wouldn't suffer the fate of the Atari 2600 and the like. It wasn't

I think by "fixing the seed" they just meant using the "Reuse seed from last generation" button. By default, this will mean that all future images will get generated with the same seed, so they'll look identical. Th

I honestly don't think that only 1 in every 10000 Adobe users own a modern-ish gaming-capable PC (and that's what's required to run SD as of now). Point being, the fact that you can already run these models on off-the-shelf c
