AI models that can perform well without sending everything off to the cloud to do so are going to be high on my wish list. Partly for privacy, partly for responsiveness, partly for resilience when the internet goes down. I’ve heard some rumors that this is a focus for the AI that will drive the next upgrade to Siri, and I hope that turns out to be true.

That’s for when your car is out of gas. If you’re fully car dependent then the gas station is the one place you could ever be forced to walk to.

I’m guessing the thought process is “well if my car is out of gas, that’s the one place I’d actually have to walk to.”

Some people don’t like when it’s too quiet. For some it’s uneasy, for some it makes it too hard to stop your mind from wandering. That can make it hard to sleep or hard to focus on a task. White noise is noise that makes it not quiet, but isn’t so loud or too full of meaning to be a distraction on its own. Most people use something like ocean waves, running water, rain, wind noises, the warp core noise from Star Trek, etc.

Who says cows can’t lay eggs?

And don’t say “literally everyone”, that’s a cop out answer

In fairness, RTD is well known to blatantly lie about what will happen in the future of the show.

There are some who remain there, but only interact with their own “bubble” of people that they’ve cultivated over the years. So whatever sensible people are there wouldn’t be responding to hashtags and getting involved in this sort of conversation.

Title is wrong: NOT future. Only “on or before the date of this proclamation.” (I don’t think it’s possible to pardon people in the future)

If you really hate someone who lives in one of those six houses, this lot affords you many opportunities for mischief.

I can’t imagine any other reason for this to exist.

With the amount of focus it got in The Giggle, the HQ is absolutely playing a big part in the spinoff. They made a whole robot character who appears to be anchored into the HQ, and since the robot served no purpose whatsoever in the plot of The Giggle itself, the only reason to make the robot is because it will be a regular part of the spinoff. Therefore, the spinoff is going to be centered on the HQ we saw.

This felt like a spiritual successor to Midnight, and I mean that in the highest form of compliment. Every scene was just creamed with emotion, literally more feelings in a ten minute span than in the cumulative total of the Chibnall years. This is possibly my favorite episode since Heaven Sent, absolutely phenomenal.

My guess is that it will be a “nature highway” so migratory species can cross over the road

And get what money? The money’s spent, it’s gone, and the directors not getting another big payday like this ever again. They can spend $10k on lawyers to get the $216 in his checking account.

Yep, from way way back. BSD -> NextStepOS -> OS X -> iOS

In what universe does Linux run on 99% of mobile devices? Android is nowhere near 99% market share, and iPhones are not and never have been based on Linux.

Enshittification

“Grandest” is not a synonym for “best”. The sheer scale of the things you can build in DSP makes it grander than any other game I can think of in any genre, and that description doesn’t speak to the quality of the game.

Local elections are the time. That’s it, that’s the answer. Third parties have to build up heavy momentum in smaller elections and only then build up to bigger ones, and eventually the big chair.

Doing very little at the local level and making a big splash once every four years is not a strategy for public policy or even for public debate, it’s solely a strategy for fundraising.

Hiring someone that OpenAI chose to fire is pretty clearly fair play, but how does this declaration not directly run afoul of anti-poaching laws?

Honestly thought this was a gourmet Ruffle at first.
