Just thinking, if this is an issue, how you can dare to buy a modern car with embedded SIM card and GPS? :)

I would rather invest 10 x 60 Eur = 600 Eur every 10 years into new laptop or bigger RAM rather then trying to switch to non-free email and lose whole Google ecosystem.

Not having much spam is number one priority for me. 50ms delay in refresh rate is OK. In fact I have never noticed and it have never came to my mind that Gmail is slow. Yes, it needs RAM but I was never annoyed by any "slowness".

I work with Windows 11 and don't see any major issue whatsoever. But note that 16GB RAM is "just" enough to run it smoothly. 32GB is better for serious (e.g development) work. I have run it even on Intel 4200U/4200M CPUs fine (CPU is from year 2014). I agree that new Outlook is buggy and not fully functional - that's why I still use old native MS Outlook.

The signal is never 100% clear in any real world scenario... Noise is everywhere. But when there is some (even very little) signal in the noise, it is not the noise any more and the signal can be retrieved assuming enough data.

AI can be trained on some special knowledge of person A and another special knowledge of person B. These two persons may never met before and therefore they can not combine their knowledge to get some new knowledge or insight.

AI can do it fine as it knows A and B. And that is knowledge creation.

I do :)

It is first time I saw it today. Thanks!

Yes, screenshots are nice. That's why I asked.

OK. Found it:

Displayed using Sixels or the Kitty protocol. Supported input formats are PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF (stb_image), WebP (jebp) and SVG (nanosvg). Opt-in; edit the config to enable it.

How are those images rendered in text UI?

I saw such robot's demos doing exactly that on youtube/x - not very precisely yet, but almost sufficiently enough. And it is just a beginning. Considering that majority of the laundry is very similar (shirts, t-shirts, trousers, etc..) I think this will be solved soon with enough training.

Yes, the less sharp angle of the described bike-lane would imply that biker can get into the sidewalk in high speed without issue and harm a pedestrian easier.

Yes, there is not a single thing in the world working with 100% success (0 failure rate). World does not work like this. Everything ages.

Exactly

Yes, when I bought a few LED lights from Aliexpress (years ago), they got broken in a few months. But I have philips LED light since ~2012 and that still works without any problem.

My experience: Our last two washer lasted for 20 years each. We have only third one now and first one did not break :)

I have bought many (6) smartphones and non has broken during my usage and also after I passed them to others.

We have 4th TV at home and each one was fully working when we replaced it after ~ 10 years. Current one (Sony), our first LCD is from 2012 and works perfectly (with just new set top box).

I have bought/got many laptops and any of them has broken. I have laptop from 1996 or 1998 which still works. There were software issues there, but they are fixable by update. (I have never bought Acer or Asus though)

I have this view for a some time already but it is not unique idea. I am referring to Sam saying on twitter we are just "Stochastics parrots".

Agreed

As an new AI image generators are not just replicating existing pictures but generating wonderful new ones, language models are not just replicating average of what they seen but are capable of generating novel ideas.

I agree with Sam Altman. It is not the main point that we are close to creating the human robot. Rather we start to understand that we are biological robots ourselves, just so sophisticated that it doesn't look like that from the top view. That we are called humans will not save us from this realisation. Each atom in our body just follows laws of physics.

I think author is becoming nihilist himself after seeing the progress of the AI. And this is his attempt to stop/delay AI technology so he can feel good again. Otherwise he would not have written such a text. Latest AI technology really make us think who we really are.

They promis price of around 30-40 EUR/kWh, because of:

Sulfur is an industrial byproduct – no harmful mining required. This drives material cost down to 0.20 EUR/kg (compared to state of the art cathode material NMC811 at 20.00 EUR/kg).

No NMC needed.

This is what they promise:

Gravimetric energy density ≥ 1’000 Wh/kg (Gen 4) Volumetric energy density ≥ 1’500 Wh/l Power capability ≈ 12.000 W/kg Cycle life ≥ 1’000 at 1 C

LIMIT not working. Try:

SELECT whiteRating, blackRating FROM ChessGames WHERE gameWinner='black' LIMIT 2 OFFSET 8;

The shavers which are considered to be used also in the shower have running on power line disabled.
