There’s no way they captured Luigi using normal means at a random McDonald’s because of a random ID. I always figured it used some unpublished data and facial tracking and was high profile enough to use in this case with only a flimsy “parallel construction” necessary

> It's like learning to play an instrument, and then using AI to make you sound better. Why bother to learn at all then??

I mean having a producer cut multiple takes or remove errors is not exactly new. And I think it exactly proves why people use AI. They could have spent a lot more time getting a piece to where they want it (and they often know where they want it) but why not get there faster. Intelligence and speed are related.

Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements

Sounds like something Philip K Dick came up with.

Making it up with volume

I guess this is some sort of forced evolution of Carbon Copy but it seems weakly tied

Are you saying that letting insurance companies track your driving data will get used to do things like fine drivers directly for law breaking? Never!

hmm, this may be why i just saw an unexpected update to a very old theme.

I've seen professional journal pieces refer to science journal articles only to go and read the original article and find that it draws a different conclusion than what is implied by the journalist.

What already happens: - People give an LLM a bulleted list of points that they want expanded into a professional sounding document. - The receiver doesn't wanna read all that. They put the full document into an LLM and ask it to summarize it into succinct bullet points.

Definitely more than meets the eye

Wow imagine we can have masses of people lie back and work. Think of how small we could make the cubicles

Wait your saying it’s not cool if you buy carrots from the grocery store that have embedded sensors so that when you eat them and they pass through you they build a health profile and determine what types of supplements are best to advertise to you?

There have already been crashes where one contributing factor was pressure to land and avoid any kind of delay - even if risky. Remember that pressure doesn’t need to be explicit. It can be the result of all kinds of factors - including physical. Maybe they were already late and pilots with fewer “on time” arrivals are lower in line for promotions. We already have stories from Amazon delivery drivers and it’s not insane to think some of that culture has leaked through to other aspects.

The naming and numbering system for these are now getting annoying. AirPod 3 has the last pro model I guess?

Saying the battery life is extended to 22 hours with the battery case is a bit absurd- you have to still take them out and charge them. I’m not sure why we can’t have wires that connect to the AirPods and charge while listening. The battery life will always be the biggest drawback of bt headphones.

Not just audio quality. Playback and consumption quality. My Winamp setup c 2005 was worlds better than what’s possible now on a typical listening device. Eq. Crossfading. Visualizer.

All possible but not common

This is just a great starter list. Thank you

Didn’t they do the exact opposite of suggesting the problem was trivial?

Why does that default to dismissive for you? It absolutely did not come off that way for me and I’m wondering if it’s because of experience or culture or something else.

Can that vapor be captured and condensed again? The energy transfer of evaporation happens before it reaches the cooling tower exit. It's a conservation of energy thing for sure but condensation is doable.

What does it mean to be consumed in this context? After used for cooling isn’t it clean enough for drink and other uses? Can’t it go back into other systems? Can’t it be used for agriculture?

Sometimes something like a hulking Austrian body builder seems like a weird design for a human killing machine. Then real life suggests people may wear hairy gorilla suits to avoid pain compliance gloves during protests.

Do these really need to be sold as pairs? I suspect one GLOVE would be adequate?

> conflict resolution skills or even on hands-on applications.

Do electric “pain compliance” (their words) gloves count as “hands-on applications”?

Ah yes. This was the future they envisioned. Nothing cruel and unusual about this. Because it’s not “punishment” - just incidental assault during the booking process.

> method to gain control of a subject through pain compliance

Private 0-day exploits?

Have a phone with crappy battery and have it trigger a high processor load to take the battery voltage drop and turn off the phone? (Eg what Apple tried to prevent with the batterygate thing).

Let’s try for a less hyperbolic analogy

And part of the year is full day of darkness

NASAs Deep Space Network? Making calls from space mean you don’t have the bandwidth (tho latency also killer)

When I read your comment before the article I thought it was some sort of complicated contraption in multiple parts. Instead it seems pretty compact and easy to disengage. I’m not sure what you’re missing in terms of a niche either. Anyone who just wants to ride with less effort but use their existing bike?
