I do wonder about the actual material constraints. My thought is, will it even be possible to make something so slight that it becomes an everyday piece of tech like the iPhone, or is it destined for entertainment and casual work? Batteries

It doesn't really balance it all that much. I still get jitters from green tea.

Ultimately even the behaviour of big polluters is driven by consumer demands. Consumers make financial choices that are incongruent with their values, all the time. If consumers didn't demand so much cheap energy we would have less coa

4-5 liters! Two liters of green tea typically contains over 400mg of caffeine which is the upper limit recommended for adults. This guy was consuming around 1g of caffeine a day.

A judge will simply throw out any evidence that was facilitated by a lie. Any good defence lawyer would wield this just like they wield bad chain of custody etc.

Relying on photos and signatures isn't ridiculous at all, we did that for decades and it served a purpose. What you are seeing is one government that is authoritarian on ID, and another that is prioritizing other things. Of course the

Is this[0] something you are questioning as being real news? Those are actual found bodies, 600 graves is significant amount of bodies that families never got to find out about. You know, people are alive today that have direct connection t

No, the issue is it happens at all. Just because others are worse changes nothing.

Over 3k children buried with little to no documentation, families not informed, kids never returned to their loved one. I don't think what I have said is strong at all. The reports are eyeopening, the level of care afforded to these ki

You should read the comments. The top comment I am replying to specifically opens the door on this stuff. They challenged that people have "misconceptions", I am showing how those concepts that are held about the church are actual

> I think it's valid to point out that these flaws are not unique to Catholicism. In what way? Does pointing it out change the facts? Why can't we have a discussion about how Catholicism is objectively hypocritical and not have

> You're sort of singling out Catholicism though. Yes, because church is the context of this post, and the OP opened the door. What does your comment have to do with the facts?

Check the comment this is spawned from. The comment elicited all of this by saying there are misconceptions about the church. I still don't get what the problem is. What does the asymmetric treatment between schools and church abuse ha

I wouldn't be surprised because an LLM is a viable shortcut to get shit done. Why would the Pope's press office not use one? You think they are too honest, too benevolent to do that? Why?

So what??? If my neighbour murdered children would that be mitigated by a serial killer in the next town over? Do people really have this much cognitive dissonance that they lose the ability to think? Like how much delusion do you have to b

Because that's how political messaging is usually curated. I see no reason to expect the Pope to be different. The idea of him finding time to sit down at his desk, doing all that research, finding citations, have time to understand al

So what if it's not unique to Catholicism? I was asking specifically what the misconceptions are. You've redirected.

And by "globally" they mean a subset of the global countries that they supported with Bard. So no Canada still.

This is news to me, I've always had low amp USB-A slow chargers in economy. Those old cigarette outlets can deliver 75 watt, but no idea about the amperage. I am sure USB-C with PD will be available at some point, but it's not a m

Those outlets are usually low amp, slow charge. I mean a majority are still USB-A, and now you have to take an adapter with you. The whole thing is ludacris for a majority of people, they have other priorities for what they pack and how the

It's not VR though. The AR angle of this device is why it's compelling. VR is completely blind to your surroundings, Apple Pro could in principle make your public park look like Jurassic Park with full size dinosaurs etc. Blending

It's basically a laptop on your head, so a meaty 60w charger could be needed to power and charge it.

Bare in mind I am not anticipating the Google Home level of interaction, I am talking full sophisticated natural language. And there is no reason touch cannot play a role, I'm just saying these devices will be unlike our current phones
