I don’t know about where you live, but I often make 150+ mile trips from where I live. Just to and from work is 190, and there’s nowhere to charge at work. I usually work from home, so that’s not a problem, but I just can’t afford to live anywhere closer.
If I could find one, I’d love to get an old Honda Insighf. Mfers get like 70+ miles to the gallon. With a 10 gallon tank, that could bring you 700 miles! More if you do some mods to it to improve MPG further.
I was at a set of train tracks behind a large truck. Well, in front of him, a car was stalled with hazards on. He looks behind him, backs up to go around the guy, and taps my front bumper. Dude’s truck was so large he couldn’t even see me in the rear view, and the side mirrors made me invisible since the wheel wells were so wide.
I don’t even drive a tiny car or anything, just a mid-sized sedan….
I hate driving or riding in large vehicles though. I feel like they’re tall, unwieldy, and I’m short, so I usually can just see high enough to drive but always feel like I’m about to hit everything. Can’t imagine having one as a daily driver.
Reminds me of a short YouTube recommended to me here. In the second part, it talks about a guy who just tells himself “FORTIFY!!” As a similar vein, it’s pretty funny.
iPhone 13 Pro. Will probably keep it until the 16 Pro later this year maybe, or I might go another year. Nothing wrong with it so far, I mostly just want a type-C connector for convenience at this point
To some degree. We’ve seen prices rise in the pandemic and drop back down substantially over time back to pre-pandemic numbers. Look at price trends for construction supplies, for instance. Not sure if that is what you’re referring to, however
That’s why the only take I have ever found that’s reasonable regarding religion goes a bit like this:
Hell is not real. Not in the literal sense, anyway. We all go to “heaven” or whatever afterlife it is, but we get a chance to reflect upon our entire lives. If you were a good person, then you may feel some regret for the harm you caused others, but you can generally feel satisfied with your previous existence. If you were a terrible person, you probably wouldn’t want to be around a being such as God, which, if he’s everything he’s cracked up to be, is the most “goodness” that ever good-ed. So by extension, your “hell,” your “separation from God,” would be the guilt that drives you away, by your own accord, despite his forgiveness, and not actually a sentence that you are condemned to.
I can see some merit to that thinking, at the very least it’s not completely unfair as we see with so many mainstream religious takes.
Not offended. Technically, if the descriptions are to be believed, then it’s going to be the happiest place to be. So if I’m so happy, I probably won’t care
Furthermore, licensing a patent can give credibility to said patent, making it more difficult to prove in court that it was ever invalid in the first place.
I know. That’s not my point. I know that technically, “AI” could mean anything that gives the illusion of intelligence artificially. My use of the term was more of the OP, that of a machine achieving sapience, not just the illusion of one. It’s just down to definitions. I just prefer to use the term in a different way, and wish it was, but I accept that the world does not
For real. Like some enemies in Killzone 2 “act” pretty clever, but aren’t using anything close to LLM, let alone “AI,” but I bet you if you implemented their identical behavior into a modern 2024 game and marketed it as the enemies having “AI” everyone would believe you in a heartbeat.
It’s just too overencompasing. Saying “large language model technology” may not be as eye catching, but it means I know if you at least used the technology. Anyone can market as “AI” and it could be an excel formula for all I know.
