I'm actually seeing this in my current job, where we have some things that use what people were calling more specifically "AI/ML" before our real life Skynet Day (when chatgpt was released) and technically are using trained neural networks for computer vision-based analysis. (I'm trying to be...

two things are possible at the same time: if there is a power outage, you cannot charge EVs without having backup generators/renewable access (i.e on site solar panels) or something that can handle the power draw you can power a gas station with a backup generator to allow the gas pumps to work...

I have a gut feeling it's more sort of 'sitting' on something around the far side of the dish support, which we can't see in the photo. I wonder if there are pictures from other angles? It does look odd, but lots of things that aren't meant to be constantly filled with people but still people...

I am also curious. I do not want to buy a Tesla so I'm not going to have your actual answer, however I suppose there are lots of answers like this: I can buy one (1) honda EV that is actually a Chevrolet Blazer EV I can buy exactly one (1) Toyota EV that is also (until right meow) the one (1)...

Ooof, I remember when I had speakeasy around 2005-2006 and had like 1.5MBps DSL or something like that. It can't have been just 1.5MBps. It has to have been 10 or something. It has to. I refuse to believe.

Even better, most personally owned cars/suv's/trucks/vans spend their time in suburbia or urbia or on the highway, by sheer statistics based on where the people that own them live.

I like how Subaru has gone from 11 second 0-60 times (in some of the recent outback and crosstrek versions with the smaller engine sizes) to 4.7s for their latest Toyoburu EV, which pushes the (non-STI) WRX right out of the way by about an entire second. 11 seconds is annoying but at the end...

I like this particular thing they slid in there:

I remember reading an article talking about how "delve" is used a lot in conversational AI output because a lot of content that got slurped up (Or was created to 'seed' the training set so it will output a particular kind of content) was written by humans from a geographical place and culture...

I've played guitar and bass as a very hobbyist-level person since about 1996, and so that's some disclaimer about my ability and experience. I suppose the "real tube amps vs digital modelers" is a little like "vinyl records vs digital recordings" or perhaps "manual transmissions vs automatic...

I loved Descent 1 and 2 so much. I played the games constantly when we first got a family computer in the 90's, and the music was amazing. I still listen to Descent ]['s soundtrack. I also worked for/with one of the cocreators for a couple years in the 2010s. That was interesting.

That’s an interesting comment about “nuclear” magnetic resonance imaging. I would suspect a layperson doesn’t normally ever hear “nuclear” meaning “of a nucleus” vs “nuclear reactions and radiation” and so rightfully would find the prospect of an MRI to involve “radiation” of the type that is...

I just want to be a bit of fun-pedantic and say that yes, the Hybrid Synergy Drive hybrid stuff by Toyota (and similar other ones) is not a traditional variable ratio continuously variable transmission that uses chains or drive belts between varying-diameter cones. It's more like a differential...

There is throughput, and then there is latency. Latency increases with physical distance.

Well, technically solid maybe except for the part where the game crashes uncontrollably for some segment of the PC population. Such as myself. I'm going to make a guess that there's some sort of drivers+DX version bug going on. It's "I should probably refund the game" unplayable, literally a...

Knots per hour.

My parents had the round headlight generation of the American rabbit when I was growing up. It was a piece of trash, with constant problems and it literally rusted to unusabilty, and at the time it was expensive to fix. They got mad when I bought a mk6 gti in 2012. Why would I buy such an...

I am discovering this first hand right now, although not a pandemic dog, a 'we've been thinking about adopting a dog and decided to rescue one from a shelter' dog. A one year old stray-rescue husky is probably a bad choice for anyone to adopt, in hindsight. (It's probably preferable to the dog...

I have a 19 year old cat. Unsure if she'll make it to 20 for various reasons but she is definitely 19 right now. My parents had multiple cats during my lifetime that lived to be 20. One of them was even an outdoor cat. Not saying it's not extremely rare, it just seems weird when 'extremely...

I think there's a continuum. at one end, you have street cars that have been dangerously LOWERED for aesthetics, and either that messes up the suspension geometry or damages tires or makes the vehicle likely to hit things on the road surface... and then pickup trucks and SUVs that have been...
