Sadly yeah. But those turbines could run on almost anything, fuel oil is used simply because it's the cheapest and there are no laws (or very few) saying they can't. At least they capped the sulfur content rather hard a few years back, so there is some progress.

And it is a situation that could be fixed with legislation and money if there was a will to do so as the tech already mostly exists, and it wouldn't even necessarily require huge changes on the ships.

The true ability of AI/machine learning is to find and abuse all the loopholes and errors that exist in the training set.

"The only winning move is not to play" was simply WORP maximising its reward function.

Especially when the chipset, Tegra X1, is going to turn 10 years old next year and has roughly the same performance as the iPhone 6. Kinda impressive longevity when you think about it.

The concept of the e-leveler is perfectly valid, I've used both a BLtouch and a dial indicator to basically do the same trimming setup multiple times, it's just hilarious how visibly old school and bare bones he designed it to be and then he dares to ask $25 for one when you could literally cobble one together from parts for less than a dollar in five minutes.

It should have been a funny perk on like a PCB business card or ruler you'd get from him, and not product he actually tries to sell.

Quite a few big ships you could already kinda call hybrids, as they use diesel generators to run electric motors. One (slightly dodgy) source claimed 80% of worlds cargo ships, but it sounds just a bit too good to be true. But be the number whatever, each one could make use of solar, wind, or batteries to augment or even replace diesel. Or switch to something a bit better, like LNG in the meantime.

The specs for the Tesla Semi are also actually rather impressive, so who knows where that tech leads to in a decade or two.

Air is where they'll stay the longest, as batteries are simply way too heavy. Unless we invent some magical weightless battery made out of fluff and unicorn farts, there's very little chance of a viable electric passenger jet especially because unlike fuel which you use up, batteries are just as heavy when you land than when you started.

But they aren't using chatgpt or any other language model to do it. "AI" in instances like that means a system they've fed with some data that spits out a probability of some sort. E.g while it might take a human hours or days to scroll through satellite/drone footage of a small area to figure out the patterns where people move, a computer with some machine learning and image recognition can crunch through it in a fraction of the time to notice that a certain building has unusual traffic to it and mark it as suspect.

And that's where it should be handed off to humans to actually verify, but from what I've read, Israel doesn't really care one bit and just attacks basically anything and everything.
While claiming the computer said to do it...

Took you long enough.

But if you sell me something and then forcefully take it back, that actually is stealing. It will never happen because somewhere in the TOS they had wiggled in a clause to invalidate it, but morally Sony owes the users a refund for everything they are taking back.

Discord is great for providing a community chatroom for both voice and text. It started, and still is, as the combination of IRC and Teamspeak/Ventrilo, now just with more bloat and memes. That people are trying to use the "IRCTeamspeak" as the entire information platform for their open source project is just mental, as it puts everything hidden behind a login requirement, unindexable and unsearchable on any search engine in an ever-changing stream of unrelated discussion.

Stick your bug reports and issues in a Github/Gitlab etc tracker, your information into a Wiki, and set up a forum. The discord can exist alongside these, but it cannot properly replace any of them.

Samsung is up to Fold 5, so at least someone keeps buying them. Though they are also up to Flip 5, a concept so dumb I honestly won't believe anyone wants or uses one, so who knows.

stop removing options

We removed the ability to move the taskbar to the top or the side of the screen because fuck you, that's why.

External battery makes sense as the thing without it is already as heavy as a quest 2. Just absolutely no reason not to have it be a standard USB-PD power bank.

Simply because OTA updates and large screens on cars are so new. It's a recall because that's the word NHTSA uses whenever there is something the manufacturer is forced to fix, it doesn't matter how they fix it.

It's an Apple device, what did you expect?
The thing even has an external battery pack, and instead of using USB-C so you could use any power bank you already own, they designed a completely new proprietary connector. In 2024.
Who the fuck does that anymore, except Apple?

Simply because that's how the laws are worded. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issues a recall when there's something to be fixed, doesn't matter how it's actually done.

"a bit' being 93.33%. Tencent has just, so far, been happy with letting the studios it owns do what they do and skim the profits, but they would have complete and total control of them if they wanted to. And obviously, don't anger China or you are fucked.
