AI models that can perform well without sending everything off to the cloud to do so are going to be high on my wish list. Partly for privacy, partly for responsiveness, partly for resilience when the internet goes down. I’ve heard some rumors that this is a focus for the AI that will drive the next upgrade to Siri, and I hope that turns out to be true.

That’s for when your car is out of gas. If you’re fully car dependent then the gas station is the one place you could ever be forced to walk to.

I’m guessing the thought process is “well if my car is out of gas, that’s the one place I’d actually have to walk to.”

Some people don’t like when it’s too quiet. For some it’s uneasy, for some it makes it too hard to stop your mind from wandering. That can make it hard to sleep or hard to focus on a task. White noise is noise that makes it not quiet, but isn’t so loud or too full of meaning to be a distraction on its own. Most people use something like ocean waves, running water, rain, wind noises, the warp core noise from Star Trek, etc.

My guess is that it will be a “nature highway” so migratory species can cross over the road

Enshittification

Hiring someone that OpenAI chose to fire is pretty clearly fair play, but how does this declaration not directly run afoul of anti-poaching laws?

Honestly thought this was a gourmet Ruffle at first.

So a plumbing business which books appointments via their nothing-customized Squarespace page, that’s a tech company? And you would think it appropriate if a news story about that plumber causing a water main break being posted to a technology news feed?

Having a website does not make a company a tech company and you are objectively wrong if you think it does.

Is the implication that any business you access via a web browser or app is a tech company? Boy do I have news for you about literally every business

He’s not even the main character, he’s a sidekick and not even the most prominent of the sidekicks really. (Despite the fact that he appears first in many character lists for the movie, the protagonist is Searcher)

If you’re in a scenario where you need to specify between them, “zaddy” is a replacement for the former

Is THAT what that idiom means? I knew it was said on exiting a room, I never realized it was more specific than that.

Wow, Danes don’t like dogs huh?

I would think they would think dogs were…great

I’ll see myself out

If we are guessing that each roommate has and mostly drank their beverage of choice, then while the overall quantity isn’t too bad, the guy who likes Blue Moon may need to rethink his habits.

And if I could get a ride in this service today that might be relevant

Hating Musk is okay but this comment betrays a serious lack of knowledge of how Starlink works. They operate on the verge of losing orbit at many times (especially right after launch) BY DESIGN. This is so that malfunctioning satellites will deorbit quickly and not turn into long term space junk. The fact that hundreds have been lost this way is literally just SpaceX being responsible stewards of orbital space.

No, that would actually be worth the money. This sounds like a subscription to feel like even more of a loser when you still fail to get laid.

lol 400%?

Try 27,200%. That is the actual ratio on publicly traded companies.
