This is one that's already true and "everyone" hasn't figured it out yet. But you don't really even need Office as a viewer, PDF is fine (for printable/portable fixed-layout) or just HTML. "Office" is

A problem is that the platform owners argue that this kind of stuff is why they need to put up a security gate that prevents you from installing whatever you want on your own device while also allowing you to install the malware from the ad

Back in the day when dial-up modems were a "significant" market, the concept of "WinModems" came around. Minimum hardware, maximum software. If the sensor is good enough to actually work though, it probably won't be

The way that you talk to it influences the way that it responds to you and it is not subtle. I don't want to hitch on to the "it's just really complicated autocomplete" bandwagon, but this is one of the ways that it does

The 9800X3D iGPU is definitely handy in some situations, but I tried using it with a 4K wayland desktop for a little while and the performance is really not good enough just for that, unless you're OK with some sub-60hz redraw. I was h

I didn’t mean to suggest that GLP-1s don’t count as assistance. Informing people that they can avoid pregnancy and STDs if they’d just stop fucking each other doesn’t work at scale either.

Practically speaking, any person could starve themself (short of death) and lose weight. In almost all cases there is no magic to storing more energy than you need.

I think it'd be more accurate to say that informing people that they should change their behavior doesn't work. A person changing their behavior can escape obesity. The reality is that most people won't be able to change th

We shouldn't want them to have self awareness, we shouldn't be seeking to make self-aware actual slaves. We want machines with perception and knowledge, and that are capable of reasoning. But nothing capable of self-determination.

I do some work in laboratory automation and it was quick to refuse the first thing I asked it to do. There wasn't anything spicy in the request, just basic liquid-handling protocol implementation. Their position seems to be that they&#

A post to the Truth Social account for Donald Trump included: "The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE E

Tesla does collect LIDAR data (people have seen them doing it, it's just not on all of the cars) and they do generate depth maps from sensor data, but from the examples I've seen it is much lower resolution than these Waymo exampl

The answer is not in the article. The question is: why isn't there a registration process for the person that leased the car? How are rented or company cars even relevant, since that's a different company between Tesla and the dri

Seems like some kind of weird quirk that the government doesn't already have this information readily available. Why isn't there a registration process for the person that leased the car?

You can't buy it at all, yet. Also, with the way these kinds of things have gone in the past: - It's not certain that you'll ever be able to buy it. - If you can buy it, it'll probably be closer to $40k than $25k with no

I don't think it's a huge stretch to consider supporting circumcision of children as being a call to violence against children, though. Just because it's being done for religious reasons and it has been done by a large popula

Hang on, my understanding of the situation is that only PEs are allowed to sign off on the design of a thing. They don't have to design it, and they almost certainly don't build it. Am I wrong?

Adaptive headlights have only been approved for use in the US for ~3 years. They were sold in cars in the US before that, but the adaptive function was disabled.

A version that is just plainly nerdy (and more comfortable) might not be a bad idea; maybe call it the developer version or something to avoid any association with fashion or luxury.

Doesn’t that make the wrist accessory the important part? The chunky glasses look like they’re still too early, not enough tech.

It's not an exact quote, but it was on The Charlie Kirk Show, on July 13th 2023. The video is still available, it's around 53:45 in.

How much would it cost them to catch it, though? Not just in money, but time. How do you know it doesn't make sense?
