The property tax is based on the assessed value of the property. (Which can change over time, even if you bought it years ago.) And the tax ranges from 0.28% in Hawaii up to 2.49% in New Jersey. Most states are around 1%. There may also be local taxes from a county or city, which is typically a small fraction of the above.

Established manufacturers could technically ditch the port on EV models, but they don't because they have other models which are still ICE, so they need it there. Many of the modules are shared between models, so they use the same bus when it's ICE, hybrid, or EV.

Having these gears in the hub instead of a motor would decrease unsprung weight.

When transmissions are discussed, the acronym CV stands for continuously variable. (As opposed to a transmission with 3-5 discrete gear ratios.) But yes, some CVT designs do use planetary gears, especially for hybrid gas-electric models.

CVJ = constant velocity joint

CVT = continuously variable transmission

But eliminating the long half shaft that accompanies the CV joint is what allows that space to be used.

It's also a question of attention percentage. We've had ads on TV for a while, but since the 80's we also had the ability to fast forward if we used a VCR. There are ads in magazines, but you can turn the page in a fraction of a second. But now with unskippable ads or full page popovers, it's worse than it used to be in other media.

If a tiny chip is embedded in glass or a similar biologically inert coating, and it's still small enough to pass your intestines without noticing, then it's edible. RFID can be very small, has no internal power, and only responds to a nearby request ping, which also gives it a few milliseconds of power.

That's due to trademark, not copyright.

That is an optional feature, not required to make use of an LLM. And not even a feature of most LLMs. ChatGPT was usable before they added that, but it can help when you need recent data. And they do continue to train It, with the current cutoff being April of this year, at least for some models. (But training is expensive, so we can expect it to be in conjunction with other design changes that require additional training.)

Diffusion AI (most image AI) works differently than an LLM. They actually start with noise, and adjust it iteratively to satisfy the prompt. So they don't tend to reproduce entire images unless they are overtrained (i.e. the same image was trained a thousand times instead of once) or the prompt is overly specific. (i.e you ask for "The Mona Lisa by Leonardo")

But words don't work well with diffusion, since dog and God are very different meanings despite using the same letters. So an LLM spits out a specific sequence of word tokens.

All true, but nothing reflects 100% even in the best case.

If they are wearing white, all the better to see them, and use a variety of guns on them. Besides, no white is perfect, even when clean, (which won't last long) so the laser would still chew them up.

As it uses fuel, the acceleration increases because the same thrust is pushing less mass. But at some point, it reaches the max acceleration they want, (which depending on the mission or payload could be 3 Gs to 5 Gs) so they start adjusting the thrust to keep the same acceleration as the mass is reduced. This is typical for most rockets, just with different specific numbers. Especially for something which could eventually be human rated, as humans really don't like anything above 3 Gs.

Some fish are good at pulling off individual spikes one at a time.

Because Navy ships patrol those routes. Remove that, and the pirates would be able to expand.

The gifts of gab.

They still don't have ears. You can talk to them, but they can't hear anyone else.

As soon as you leave the ground, you start gaining downward velocity every millisecond that you don't teleport. Eventually, that velocity will exceed the distance you can teleport no matter how often per second you can do it. Then you hit the ground quite painfully.

But would they though? It would be more like "see Sam over there, yeah he has a great pearl. But not me, I'm sure. Nope, no way." The clam sure doesn't want you putting that knife in to get the pearl.

It means they either roll it more tightly (more layers per inch) or they make the roll bigger (hope it still fits your roll holder) to stuff more paper on each roll. So they are advertising the package as "72 regular rolls" when it's only 12 physical rolls.
