Echo Dot

It’s ultimately self-defeating as well because any future AI is going to be polluted by past AI’s garbage content. Making it even harder to develop intelligent AI systems.

That will be why Nick Clegg has ducked out. He may have been a useless politician but at least he knows when to run away, which is better than some of them.

What they mean is they will need to use the amount of energy that you would normally put into air to get it to 31° C, but the helium will only get to 21° C. At no point will the helium actually be 31° C.

Sure when in air. Not so much for underwater or really anywhere where they have to deal with a pressure differential, either positive or negative, where large flat sides are detrimental.

People don’t really want to live in the cities they just want to live where they can get a job. Largely rural communities don’t really have an overabundance of employment opportunities, tend to have crap internet, and most of the properties are already owned by rich people who want a second home, so house prices are completely insane.

They should announce it on the 1st of April and then never talk about it again so people are never actually quite clear on if it was real or not, and then a couple of months later just release it.

People are on Steam more or less all of the time so it would take less than 30 seconds for someone to notice and then they would get free advertising. I mean it’s Valve, so they get free advertising anyway.

Is crypto still really a thing? I thought that scam had sailed.

Hell we’ve had a whole other GPU sink since then.

All the countries are really very close together and the airline industry is just in on it. They’re really just flying around in circles to make it seem like the trip takes a long time. The Atlantic is only about 200 miles across, Europe is basically just over the horizon.

That’s what happened to Amelia Earhart, she found out about it and was going to tell everyone so they had to stop her.

The flat Earth conspiracy theory is really just a false flag operation to make conspiracy theorists look stupid. So that if anyone ever finds out about the close countries conspiracy no one will believe them.

They are called rare Earth elements, but they are not really rare. They are just not well distributed. There should be renamed to Mostly in China elements.

For example magnesite is a rare earth element, yet it’s so abundantly available it’s often sold as a cheap toy.

Calling it a dev kit is just copism.

Apple never advertised this as anything other than a fully baked product. There was no suggestion that this was a prototype or development preview. This was being sold as the next big thing in computing.

The thing is it’s an actually decent product, if they just made it with slightly less advanced components, an integrated battery, and the ability to connect to any computer not just a Mac it could be something interesting. I am sure somebody else will come along with a more realistic version of the product in the next year or so.

Yes you could absolutely do it with a camera and a computer screen and some software but I can’t see how glass or plastic lenses could possibly be expected to do it

Provided they both run on time and don’t cost more than an airline flight.

Yeah everyone knows the best crash videos are on liveleak

So I’m finding it hard to find a release date for humans, but I’m fairly sure they predated the invention of self-driving cars.

For example I seem to remember being alive in the 1990s

What is the point in developing something so expensive that nobody buys it?

Like sure it’s got some really cool tech in it but since literally no one has made any apps for it what’s the point.

Yeah like helicopters, they are accessible at a price point for people who can afford them.

This got brought up when the movie gravity came out (not a movie that really seems to understand physics itself). We don’t have enough satellites in space for that kind of chain reaction to happen, and we know this for a fact because Russia has blown up some of their own satellites, and it hasn’t caused a chain reaction.

There is a minimum number and density of satellites required for this situation to occur, even theoretically. We don’t know exactly what that minimum number is, but we know that we are below it.

The potential for the issue is being taken seriously, but no one’s actually suggesting that the issue has come about or that there is any risk of coming about in the near future. We’re just implementing long-term safety measures.

It’s easier to be ethical when you have nothing to lose .

Snowdon was treated appallingly. He didn’t exactly get away with it simply because he left the country.

I don’t get how anyone thought they would work. If your color blind they obviously don’t magically alter the receptors in your eyes.
