The big benefit is that much horsepower allows the phone to very very rapidly "race to sleep" in that the faster it can crunch the numbers then return to a much slower clock the less power it'll consume overall
The most in-depth background check I've received was a bank which actually ran a credit report. I later overheard the HR ladies talking about "y'know, why do we do that? We don't even make hiring decisions based on the results of the credit reports..."
Elon Musk clearly has enourmous skillset at managing startups from their early stages though their explosive growth stages. He's successfully done so both with Tesla and SpaceX. Unfortunately his management skills are clearly incompatible with running a large company that makes up a notable portion of a market. He should have stepped away from Tesla about a decade ago (possibly as much as 15 years ago). He should have stepped away from SpaceX about 5 years ago. He should be known for growing a promising disruptive startup into a true market player then immediately handing the reigns away and moving onto the next startup, but his ego is simply too big for that, and he doesn't seem to have the introspection to see the damage he's doing to the companies he built up
Honestly, while not a scientifically rigerous test, it does demonstrate through absurdity the real risks of computer vision only for driver assist features.
Real world examples including of course the Tesla that plowed into a white truck on a foggy day because it mistook the truck for absolutely nothing among too many others
Seriously what is it with the Archer writers having far more subject matter expertise (and creating jokes by depicting accurate reactions to action movie tropes) than almost any other show?
My base model 2019 Sonata has pretty decent blind spot monitoring too. A couple of days after I got the car it's blind spot monitoring saw a speeding vehicle going too fast for me to see it coming (they turned off of another street a handful of houses up then must've floored the gas) as I was backing out and went flying past. It literally saw the speeding car through another vehicle and gave me enough warning to stop safely.
Sometimes it does yell at me that a fence is present at the edge of the lane I'm merging into, but it's just alerting beeping that can be disabled with 1 physical button press so it's very useful for rush hour beltline driving, even if I have yet to have it spot a vehicle I haven't in any other situations
I went to visit family in LA and take my kids to Disneyland a couple of years ago. I had saved about $5k for the trip, and the whole trip ultimately cost about double that, even with my grandparents buying the Disneyland tickets for us. The tickets were set to cost about $4k in total (I can't remember if that was 3 day passes or only 1 day passes)
If you have a reason to go to Disneyland, my advise is, don't bother with the park hopper. California Adventure just did not have the same charm as Disneyland, so while I enjoyed seeing DCA, I don't have any real reason to do it again. With normal tickets you can generally pick one or the other park for one entry per day, and there's enough in each park to fill a full day. If you are doing DCA start there so you can truly be impressed when you enter Disneyland. Get the genie pass, because it's basically required for timely entry to any ride that has a line, and employees give preferential treatment to Genie Pass lines over the General Admission lines. Pack sandwiches and snacks because everything is expensive of course (and reasonable outside food is allowed). For Disneyland, due to its age there's a ton of older rides tucked into corners that are easy to miss, so do some research on the rides that interest you so you don't miss the old gems with no lines. Also while there, put on your infrastructure nerd hat and look at all of the fixtures and watch for evidence of older rides/exhibits because the attention to detail and all is incredible, as well as the Easter eggs left for those who know the history
The best reason to do Disneyland over Disney world is Disneyland is in the LA area, so it's 70 and sunny for most of the year, and the winds off the Pacific plus the fact that it's a desert make it very comfortable 350 days out of the year, and most of the walkways are brick or pavement. Disney world is in Orlando where the air is often as thick as soup and temperatures are much higher. Everything's much more spread out and the walkways are hot blacktop that absorb the tropical sunlight.
Also unlike Orlando where almost everything is touristy overpriced chains copy/pasted from elsewhere, there's plenty of unique experiences in LA to do as other features of your trip (like the super under-marketed nature preserve and attractions on Catalina Island. It's a 1 hour catamaran ride from the Port of Los Angeles and absolutely a wonderful place with hiking, glass bottom boat tours, cool architecture and neat museums and a brilliant day trip)
The wildest part is that advertising has become so poisonous that now over 50% of a Americans use adblockers and over 1/3 of people world wide. It's not just techies installing adblockers for their grandmas, it's become mass market!
I happened upon a Mexican place in Belvedere Illinois. I knew it was a good sign when they brought 3 bottles of salsa with basic homemade labels and chips that did not appear to have come from a bag. Then I spotted that the menu differentiated between Mexican style and American style tacos. Then to take our orders a man who appeared to be at least 80 and a teenager came up with the teenager translating for him.
Naturally the food was to die for. I have a feeling I'll be eating there every time I drive through Belvedere
When I was buying my last car I overheard a couple huffing and making a big show of walking out over the trade-in offer they were given for their vehicle. The sales person responded they could have offered a lot more if the oil had ever been changed in the vehicle
These new Semaglutide medications work by mucking with one's appetite and slowing digestion. It's actually mimicking a natural process that occurs in a species of desert lizard if I remember correctly.
So they work, and in trials they found people. lost at most about 30% of body fat, which is significantly more than any previous weight loss drug, but for folks who need to lose more than 30% they won't reach their goal body weight. (But it does certainly make the Hollywood approach of taking semiglutides to rapidly lose a fairly small amount of weight make more sense)
