Do it!

Anyone involved in getting packages to my door in an unbelievably short time deserves to get paid a living wage without relying on overtime. And they should have enough breaks to catch their breath and use and actual restroom instead of using bottles.

Breaking news, money making company found a way to make more money.

Unless the backlash is a huge percentage of users immediately stop using the service, they won’t care. They already calculated how many users they’d lose and how much more profit they get to bring in off of those who decide to stay.

It’s already there.

They figured out that this kind of feed makes the most money from the most users. They don’t care if you like it, they care what the majority of users will stick around for. The longer total scrolling time they can get from their user base, the more ads they can cram in there. Ads make money.

Algorithm leads to more scroll time per person leads to more ads per user leads to more income

So, because money

Elon wants to make more money. One of the ways he can envision making more money is selling brain implants and the procedure to install them

Well, I’d rather see blankness than another ad.

Oooh, this is a good idea

Ok, so it’s “capable of drawing” enough power for 20,000 homes in the area. How much does it actually use day to day? Does it dim at night and brighten in the daytime to keep those ads rolling in the sunshine?

Maybe, I mean just maybe, they can run this thing only as long as the solar generated power lasts, and then turn it off 30% of the time.

If you are in the US, look into minivans, or cargo vans. They are not popular here, so you’re not paying the pretty tax on them, and most vans with the rear seats removed can easily fit 4x8 plywood in the back. A beater van with a strong engine should be a lot cheaper than a beater pickup truck.

Nah, make the cable retractable, and only release it after a payment method has been approved. Also post security or put charging stations near police departments.

I want to be able to pull up an 80% version of a website on my phone, and have a button to open the full website on my computer for when I get home.

Absolutely. Sometimes I consider getting a separate Bluetooth keyboard, but I seriously doubt it would be similar enough to scratch the itch. I really miss knowing exactly where all the keys are by feel and typing without looking.

Good. Set a precedent that you have to be careful of making wildly unrealistic claims.

One more thing that makes Tesla hacking a profitable skill.

Getting out of hand? They’ve been out of hand for a while.

On Facebook… So there’s a clear trail of who is planning what and who is agreeing to go along. People with long histories of posting far right content, so when they inevitably cry “but a leftist plant orchestrated all this” there is evidence to the contrary.

Can’t show ads in my feed if I don’t have a feed!

Yeah, but I can leave the site alone and go on with my life. Sorry to anyone who is required to use either or both for work or whatever

Seems like ai companies should take some of that investor cash and build up their own power supply. Maybe they can be the ones to use the small, modular nuclear power stations I’ve heard a little about. Or go bananas on solar and various energy storage solutions.

If there is any way to match up new blades coming in with shipments of old blades or worn out components going back, that would be ideal.

But also large bags of sea water would do the trick.

Yeah, it’s about the price of a full engine and transmission replacement for an internal combustion car.

Also, as we realize that we don’t need 400+ miles of range in a commuter car, cheaper battery chemistries make a lot of sense, despite their shorter range per kg or lb

Unless they mean the point and shoot variety that cell phones had replaced?

Yep, no chance I’m drawing that much attention to myself.

Yeah, but they launched it just last year, right?

Cries in old

I used to use it for taking quick notes when I had a slow computer. I didn’t want to wait for Word to load, so I’d just use Notepad. Now I use Post Its or just don’t write stuff down as much.

That’s the easiest theory to jump to.

Taylor Swift alone gets the image blocked every time on Bing.

Given that all my experience is with Bing, all I can add with confidence is that given the goal you have, Bing is not the tool for the job.

I’d hazard a guess that you’re better off learning to edit pictures to get what you’re going for.

I use DAL-E 3 through the Bing Image Creator website. It’s free and happens to work well with the way I describe things.

For the full body picture, describe their shoes as well as their hat or hair. Or describe what they’re standing on and what they’re looking at.

Most of the time, DalE will take “do not include thing” to mean “do not include thing.” Sometimes starting from Bing chat and asking for it to draw a picture not including a thing works better.

Saved me a click. Thanks!

Absolutely, they’re so much better

Yes, the absolute basic required technology to make it road legal, physical switches and either physical gauges or a non-touch screen for gauges if that’s cheaper.

Thanks for the tip!

I bought an ecoflow some time ago, I’m constantly impressed with what it can run. Its primarily a backup source of power for my freezer in case of a power outage, but I make sure to pull it out of the closet and use it every 6 months or so to keep it functional.

It’s slightly over 1kwh of energy storage, and it really helps me understand what a kwh means. It runs a laptop for a week. It runs a lamp with an LED bulb for more than a week. It runs a vacuum for barely 1 hour. It runs a toaster oven, but only on lower settings. It runs a microwave for right at an hour.

The display on the side that shows output and how many hours it can maintain that output has been very useful to learn more about these things without having to leave things running until the battery dies.

I definitely recommend the Lifepo4 batteries. Not exploding is worth losing a few watt-hours of storage in the same size and weight, and longevity with more cycles is great, too!

They say the want to. They can, they should, but they haven’t. Yet, they say they want to. Hmmm

Time to pick up a DVD player and look around for some movies for sale.

I only got through a few minutes, it seemed like an average reaction video. I was hoping for more of a point by point breakdown with detailed scientific or engineering analysis, but just saw a lot of scoffing.

It’s almost like it’s their business model, and to do away with it would stop them from giving their management raises and bonuses.
