Imagine hiring a taxi without having your lawyer review the terms and conditions, lol

I think it’s supposed to be inflation adjusted?

Because he wasn’t moving very fast… To be in orbit you need to be traveling around the earth extremely quickly. The problem is slowing down, not the altitude.

I don’t think they were necessarily claiming they were happy, just that we didn’t know for sure what they were thinking. Some people were claiming that they were definitely unhappy… But I don’t think you can know that without asking them.

Obviously it sucks if they have to move, but it’s hard to feel too sorry for people that have become incredibly wealthy…

Also, municipal expenses don’t scale directly with property values… So while local taxes are often based on home values, they are adjusted to the level that meets the municipal budget. If everyone’s house doubles in value one year, taxes stay the same, not double…

Yeah, it’s taken forever for this version to come out. Xbox series x (and s) got a native version relatively recently.

You could use the PS4 version before. Hopefully this new version will use the PS5 hardware to the fullest.

But you have to select if it was human or not, right? So if you can’t tell, then you’d expect 50%. That’s different than “I can tell, and I know this is a human” but you are wrong… Now that we know the bots are so good, I’m not sure how people will decide how to answer these tests. They’re going to encounter something that seems human-like and then essentially try to guess based on minor clues… So there will be inherent randomness. If something was a really crappy bot then it wouldn’t ever fool anyone and the result would be 0%.

How much could a tweet cost? $10?

I use a Joeveo Temperfect travel mug. It has a special wax material sealed inside. When you put hot coffee in the wax melts, absorbing heat and reducing the temperature to a drinkable level immediately. Then, over time the wax releases heat as it solidifies, keeping the coffee at the perfect temperature. The only downside is cost and the fact that the mug is relatively heavy. Joeveo

I think the one in Maine was mostly in Canada so the portion in the US was smaller.

Isn’t most of the AI training work in the world done on Linux using Nvidia GPUs (in the cloud)? I guess it’s a different use case…

I think weight in the wheels is a huge downside of hub motors though? So this kinda takes a middle ground… Unsprung weight is still increased but not nearly as much.
