Exactly - look up the THX specs - you need to be sitting about 6 feet from that 65" 4K for most anyone to tell the difference.

See USDS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Digital_Service), which was renamed DOGE and I guess unrenamed? Not sure how this is different.

I think its projecting an opinion they know is misinformed - so not outright lying but staying put on the facts "the cars will never work, they're all remote controlled and are going to mow down toddlers left and right" despite knowing that there's real world data out there the contradict what they're saying. It can also come from a place where they have an agenda in that while the cars could work, they would take away jobs and therefore are railed against no matter the technical feasibility.

Attached to: Alien: Earth Renewed For Second Season
Not sure why people expect the same thing every time when the formula for taking the setting & concepts and applying a new genre was shown to work immensely well with Aliens. For me this series was the best thing to happen to the franchise since the first two. Prometheus has been the only one since that was interesting, but it really felt like things got chopped to hell in that movie, and there were some terrible decisions/motivations not explained, etc. The series delivered on the same old "alien in a ship hunting people down" trope while a "human/synth/cyborg" fucks everyone, but also built out the world more, added the concepts of the synth transference, and gave us a little more variety in the types of creatures that inhabit the universe. I'm for sure looking forward to season 2.

Attached to: AI Bubble Is Ignoring Michael Burry's Fears
Isn't the point that there's not a place where that expense slows - that we reach "good enough" and the training stops or subsides dramatically like a railroad? Look at a related industry in chip fab - these companies need continual investment in R&D and expense building out new equipment to make the next generation of chip - they extract the value they can from the equipment but then need to refresh to keep up the revenue stream. I have no idea what that cycle is, but I think we can agree AI is much much shorter right now, and its hard to see the ROI on the build out for more models. I'm not an AI naysayer by any means, but its not really clear what the endgame is in terms of revenue and paying back all this investment, or how long this level of investment needs to be maintained. which is why its being labeled a bubble.

Unlikely, dude is the consummate political player. He'll be running the place as Special Consult to the Office of the Fallen One (SPECOFO) by Friday having sent off Saddam, Pol Pot, Osama, Hitler, Dave from Wendy's and John Denver to the mines.

Where is the line though? I think people would agree that a Pixar movie or a video game should classify as "art" and that of course was 100% computer generated from human instructions. The "artist" had to apply a ton of instructions to get the result they wanted, and "sculpted" the result. At what point did the intent and instructions given to the computer cross the border from "art" to "not art"?

Attached to: $599 MacBook With iPhone Chip Expected To Enter Production This Year
Its a Chromebook. Think about what's in a flagship phone and a top of the line laptop 10 years ago. Now think about what people are doing on laptops and whether or not they could use that 10 year old one just fine. The "power of a phone" is all relative - in this case it can service the needs of a cheapo chromebook type experience just fine. (Its apple so will cost 2x a chromebook).
I remember there was a phone laptop docking combo a while back that did just this - you plugged the phone into the laptop and just used it there, but it looked clunky as hell. That would be pretty cool, and Apple could probably pull it off pretty slickly, but the software is probably one of the most important things and I guess some of the recent ipad merging to macos things are making that more possible.

If its tricky because of specifying the location its probably going to work, you can set a pin to your desired pickup location. If its tricky because of the area Waymo will currently do worse because it generally isn't going to do the stuff a human is going to get away with like double parking, blocking a hydrant etc. Teaching a robot to follow the rules is easy because robots really want rules to follow. If you follow all the rules in a complex traffic environment, its likely you won't do so well, other drivers don't obey the strict rules of right of way, blocking the box, etc. Waymo does pretty well at this in some areas, but poor in others, and parking for pickup seems like one of them.
