> 3-phase charging (which I admit has always seemed like a silly feature
Well, 3phase is more efficient as you have less losses in the cabling.
May save you 5-10% on the bill.

Where I live many requested powergrid connections are put on hold permanently due to lack of capacity.
If you tell it to "build me an application X to do Y using programming language Z", it will comply.
If you interactively ask "I need X, can you suggest some options? use an existing product ? or build something using a library ? or build entirely myself ? can you suggest alternatives with pro's and con's ? Anything I should think of before deciding ?" then you will get an entirely different answer.
Maybe we need additional modes, aside from thinking mode, agentic mode etc. we need e.g. "sparring mode" ? or does such a thing already exist ?
Off-topic, but I kinda like the style sheet of this article.
A Soviet citizen and an American are sitting next to each other on a commercial flight.
The American turns to the Russian and says, "I have to hand it to you — your state propaganda is very impressive. You really know how to shape what people think."
The Soviet smiles, nods, and replies, "Thank you, but it's really nothing compared to American propaganda."
The American looks shocked and says, "What are you talking about? We don't have any propaganda in America."
The Soviet smiles again and says, "Exactly"
France (and to a lesser extent large parts of europe) is currently suffering from an exceptional heat wave.
What you describe seems to refer to scintillating scotoma, which appears to be well known and documented: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintillating_scotoma
I personally have my doubts whether it has to do with blood pressure (i had it while on medication and normal blood pressure), or that it's generated by the brain, but lack the time/motivation/skill to research this further.
Well, water is certainly more essential, yet it isn't free.
Food isn't free. Shelter isn't free.
Besides, the services you'd use over this free connection aren't (necessarily) free.
Its not unreasonable to suspect some other agenda, like easier propaganda, subsidising of social media, ...
They had a few people on the inside, who handed over Maduro to the US. May have been internal conflict in Venuzuela using US to get rid of Maduro.
Maybe US also had people on the inside in Iran, but killed them by accident on the first strike with the "precision bombings".
I'm gooing to try this question this weekend with some people, as h0 hypotesis i think the answer i will get would be usually like "what an odd question" or "why do you ask".
Involving blind people would be an interesting experiment.
Anyway, until the sixties the ability to play a game of chess was seen as intelligence, and until about 2-3 years ago the "turing test" was considered the main yardstick (even though apparently some people talked to eliza at the time like an actual human being). I wonder what the new one is, and how often it will be moved again.
As a trekkie this was a dream come true.
Unfortunately we still don't have a tricorder yet (despite Elisabeth Holmes' promise).
But we do have the apps and the games, they didn't have these in star trek. My phone is loaded with these (apps, not games)
A picture says more than a thousand words.
As much as I'd like to use a simple markdown based tool to create my presentations, most of these appear to come short regarding visuals (1).
Look at the 2007 iPhone introduction - thats how you use visuals to deliver a message.
Going from bullets to visuals is definitely not easy, and while I'm not as brilliant as Steve Jobs, I always give it my best shot. And a supporting tool makes it a lot easier.
(1) if anyone knows about a md-based slide creator supporting good visuals, I'm open to suggestions.
If you ask a human, they will answer 3. Sometimes they say 4. Or 2. That's it.
An LLM produces a text using an example it was trained on. They were trained with these elaborate responses, so that's what they produce.
Whenever chatgpt gets something wrong, someone at openai will analyse it, create a few correct examples, and put these on the pile for retraining. Thats why it gets better - not because it is smarter, but it's retrained on your specific test cases.
[edit] OK, :-( i missed that US has also huge tarifs on EV.
A joke I sometimes tell during conversations when australia comes up:
"You know, Australia is a great country so I once was thinking of migrating there. So I called the australian embassy. First thing they ask me is if I have a criminal record. So I answered oh I'm sorry, I didn't know that was still a requirement, and hung up."
