Google was using CAPTCHA data to train its Street View photos for addresses and street names back in 2012*.

I don't think companies in #4 are safe, mostly because commercial real estate is expensive. Consulting firms will advise them to either not renew building leases or have a hybrid/RTO policy as one of the first cost cutting measures.

That's true but I would wager most scientists don't stockpile on explosives and chemicals like cyanide and arscenic at home.

I'm not trying to slander them, they are very talented people. They are all people who know how to build dangerous things.

Thought Emporium, Nile Red, and Styropyro are YouTubers who are a few degrees away from being dangerous criminals (I say this in the lightest way possible) but channel their talents for educational videos.

It would probably make more sense for copyright fees to be proportional to the revenue the company makes. Disney paying $500 to license Mickey Mouse after 5 years while making millions isn't equitable for a small business copyrighting a toy brand for instance.

Vertasium has a great video on the invention of leaded gasoline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV3dnLzthDA

That type of home appreciation happens in larger US real estate markets as well, assuming you're willing to put a few hundred thousand into renovations. Everything has shot up tremendously post-COVID.

Not to mention, car manufacturers would try to gate this feature behind a paid subscription model like OnStar. The industry took far too long to require rearview backup cameras, it would take years to require companies to have a system connected to a cellular network to phone 911.

The personal phone is the best place to fit this feature because it already has cellular communications and can work in any mode of transportation.

It kind of makes sense considering the only viewport is on the opposite side of the submarine away from the PCs which interface with the controls.

Maybe the intent was for someone to peak out the window to perform a maneuver.

Still, I hope there was a wired controller as a backup just in case.

In that case, the script could be modified to archive all the comments into a local file -- you could restore all your books back to the library (Reddit) if you chose, once they stopped threatening customers with higher fees.

If people were really committed, they could "unionize" and have a centralized party which held access to their comments, but that would probably violate their ToS and would not set a good precedent for an open and free internet. Not to mention, Reddit could easily just block users from modifying/deleting old comments.

It probably would be a more effective campaign for subreddits to have their users wipe all their old comments (older than 1 year) than a temporary blackout for a few days.

Most AWS engineering is closest to (and tested in) us-west-2 (PDX) or us-east-2 (Ohio)

Pixar movies used to have a very high standard for film critics. Rotten Tomatoes has Lightyear ranked as the 3rd worst Pixar movie behind Cars (https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/all-pixar-movies-...)

How would this even be technically enforced? It seems TikTok would have no reason to pay for any fines from the state.

You would still have a major blind spot if a child or small animal is directly behind your car. The NHTSA estimated it would save over 70 lives per year (an underestimate), which is invaluable considering the small cost.

Rental prices in San Diego are almost as high as Fremont/San Jose (5th most expensive rental city in CA). Also, considering it has one of the highest electricity rates in the country, it makes renting even more expensive than just the monthly rate.

Alternatively, IKEA makes a great little set of curtain tracks (VIDGA) you can attach to your ceiling to get full floor-to-ceiling blackout in a room, similar to many hotel rooms.

The possibilities are endless! Seeing Sal demonstrate how students could talk to old historical figures and ask them questions in their context was pretty fascinating.

I always wondered how an AI tutor could be "the great equalizer" for teaching kids from all socioeconomic backgrounds (and international students too). It's impossible for a classroom of 20-30 students to get 1:1 attention from a teacher.

Thanks for sharing, those photographs are very clear and sharp (especially this one: https://pics.dllu.net/file/dllu-pics/boston-pcc.jpg) it seems to tickle my brain.

AWS treats its availability zones very seriously, each zone has its own independent power substation, air conditioning, and fiber lines.

It's incredibly rare for multiple AZs to go down at once, especially since they are more than a few miles apart from each other.

Or you can take the light rail directly from the airport into the city for $2.50 (and presumably catch a cheaper taxi there).

Jon Stewart is an incredible interviewer, he was able to expose Summers praising billions of dollars of corporate profits while completely disregarding people losing their jobs in almost the same sentence.

It seems like collusion to appease the Fed to stop increasing rates.

You mean Microsoft, right? OpenAI was publishing research papers until the MSFT partnership.

What exactly does a founding prompt engineer do?

California utilities seek to charge more for higher profits*

What a surprise!

Who’s the target demographic for this? Surely they don’t want a 16 year old who has never used a screwdriver before.

I think OP meant they’ll be moonlighting 2 jobs for 2 weeks.
