I tried this last week and had the same experience. It was terrible and they got $140 out of me before I realized what it was (not) capable of. Their support was nonexistent as well.

I find this language fascinating. On one hand, the Department of "War" gives the department an underlying, unspoken goal that it should be involved in war with something. On the other hand, it's very easy to fund the Department of "Defense;" of course we need more money to defend our country. Don't we want to be safe! It's much less attractive to fund the Department of "War"

I had to dig this up. Elon Musk signed an open pledge in 2016 to disallow Robots/AI to make kill decisions.

He's now on X bashing Anthropic for taking this same stance. I know this would be expected of him, but many other Google AI researchers signed this as well as Google Deep Mind the organization. We really need to push to keep humans in the kill decision loop. Google, OpenAI, and X-AI are are all just agreeing with the Pentagon.

Also, MicroVision, the company in OP's article bought the IP from Luminar. This feels like a circular venture capital scam. Luminar originally went public via SPAC and made a bunch of people very wealthy before ultimately failing.

If the goal is to make US goods attractive to other countries and to decrease our trade deficit (not saying I agree with this goal), either the dollar has to become fundamentally weaker or the goods have to become more valuable. The latter feels more difficult than the former at this point. However, the side effects of a weaker dollar may not be worth weakening it.

Every country has rare earth elements. Just google "X discovers rare earth" where X is your country of choice and you'll find articles about how they have huge deposits. The underlying problem is the processing. China has figured this out and has cornered the market. Until other countries figure out how to process these materials, China will be able to leverage this capability to their advantage.

Who actually wants a thinner iPhone?

Trying to buy a physical copy. It says "This product is not currently for sale." Would love to buy this.

I just wanted to highlight that he was also an entrepreneurship professor at NC State and shaped many students' views of what they could do with their lives.

I was one of those students. I now own my own company as a result of his teachings. He was very influential and a wonderful human being. This news is tragic.

RIP Marshall. You were loved.

We make an AI camera for residential home builders. I'd love to chat to see if there's any synergy here.

When they use sound effects in news reports, they're called "nat pops."

They're often used to make reporters sound like they're somewhere they're not. They can be very convincing.

Just learn dvorak or colemak - they're not hard to learn, have tons of benefits, and are readily available on all operating systems

And then refuted that with a different study at the end. Weird.

Most of the citrus growers are just selling off their land for housing developments. Florida is still experiencing high growth. A lot of that growth is older populations trying to avoid state taxes on their retirement income. These people don't need to live near industrialized areas. They just want to live near other older populations.

Now do POE

AKA kill half the worlds population

This video explains this fairly well (Hank Green).

Yes, but Waymo hasn't (yet) made Google $1 of profit and FSD is almost pure margin for Tesla.

If you're in the market for a new-to-you car, then I recommend looking at the model years where they switch from wired car-play to wireless car-play and buying the previous model-year.

Typically this difference of one model-year can add thousands to the cost of the vehicle, especially because wireless car-play is so coveted. The experience of wireless is fantastic, but is it worth several thousand dollars? Maybe, but herein lies the trick.

Buy a dongle. They're about $100 for a good one. They can be tucked away in the vehicle. They work almost* as good as integrated wireless car-play.

*Maybe add 5 seconds to auto-connect when you get in your car.

I recommend switching to any of the apps that support Podcasting 2.0 - The features are better and the index is not controlled by Apple/Spotify.

But character Design is. Here's a good summary of just how close a lot of the characters are.

I've seen a few arguments, but I still don't see how Gamefreak/Pokemon isn't just going to sue the crap out of these developers (Pocket Pair). Maybe they can get away with loosely copying the creatures, but they blatantly rip off the pokeball/catching design/mechanics that are a part of Pokemon's core IP. Maybe someone can tell me I'm wrong?

I mean, the guy built a DIY mailchimp. That seems hackernews relevant. There's tons of services like mailchimp that are all varying costs. A low cost DIY solution may be interesting to some people.

How obvious is it that the plane has entered non-icing conditions?

It took time to access the information. You had to turn on your modem and connect to the internet (took a while). Then you had to load up the information (took a while). Then there was the lack of good search engines, so you were worried you'd never find the information again. And most importantly, you couldn't pull up this information while out and about (there was no 3g/4g/5g).

Earlier Thanksgivings also cause more holiday spending[1].

This is the bigger headline than their Gemini release. AI is all about how much compute dollars it can generate for the cloud providers. Google is trying to make sure Microsoft doesn't monopolize AI compute.

There's an estimate they have 1.9M reservations. Even at 1k deliveries a day, that will take another 5 years. I doubt they'll hit that delivery rate soon.
