Every government advertisement contains that tag line, or similar - provincial advertisements say “Paid for by the government of <province”, campaign ads use the party name in the tag line. Most Canadians are used to seeing this, and won’t conflate the tagline as being part of the ad itself.

Your AC turns itself off and on repeatedly through it’s normal running cycle to prevent frost building up - your fridge and freezer does this as well.

Note how the government isn’t going after gun ownership as vehemently as they are digital privacy. They know that it doesn’t matter how many guns the people have, if they can’t communicate anonymously (or at all), then any sort of uprising will be small and easily quashed.

Used incorrectly and without caution, yes. It can be made to be very useful if proper guardrails are in place and if the LLM is carefully guided in the task it’s performing.

This means, that one should only use an LLM for something they are already quite familiar with doing without an LLM’s assistance. Most people will not be doing this however (or in the case of Google’s “summaries”, unable to as they are not fully in control of the session), and this is where the problem arise.

The government and media has spent those decades undermining education and vilifying “being smart”. Of course they’re champing at the bit now to insert an always-on personalized propaganda machine in place of that missing intelligence.

I’ll trust the links if I trust the sites it’s linking to. Any other links are viewed with skepticism at least initially until I’ve vetted the site in question.

A fair number of internal walls are also thick brick or concrete. In warmer climates it helps keep the building cool from thermal mass, it’s also sturdier for places prone to hurricanes.

just be cautious with power supply, a failure could crater the whole system.

What needs to happen is:

1. an enforceable certification process, like part of FMVSS, to state “this vehicle is certified as L[0-5] self driving per https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/2022-05/Level-of-Automation-052522-tag.pdf”. Put the certification on the window sticker. Have it reported to insurance.

2. Levels 0-2 cannot be advertised as self driving, even though there may be hands-free driving capability in some limited cases. The driver remains fully responsible and liable (no change to current liability rules essentially)

3. Levels 3 and 4 will be required to have shared liability with the driver and manufacturer in all conditions where the vehicle is in control of itself. This includes roads that the vehicle should be able to navigate autonomously and the driver has requested it to, but it is not for any reason.

4. Level 5 would place liability on the manufacturer solely, as there is no indicated driver in this case. This is the only one that can be advertised as “self-driving”.

Which is funny, because at times they do glow, but it’s blue (cherenkov radiation)

TBF, the switch is a mechanical part that goes through a series of stresses, not just from the person actuating it, but also from the electrical forces causing the switch to bounce and arc for several ms before it settles. Putting all that stress into a little package with tiny contact wafers, and it’s bound to fail sooner or later.

When I was a kid we had a 386-33MHz with 4MB RAM, it ran Doom at about 1-2FPS. Upgraded to a 486 DX (66MHz I think?) and 8MB RAM and it ran great on that. It’s possible that the 386 would have been fine if we put more RAM in though, I think the biggest issue was swapping.

Fortunately the only issue I’ve had with mine is one time it decided it didn’t want to mount properly. I got it fixed, but then pulled everything I wanted to keep off it and switched to BTRFS. I imagine people with dual-boot are more likely to see issues though.

NTFS works with proton as long as you set up your /etc/fstab properly to make sure it’s mounted as writeable, but I believe you also need proprietary drivers… I can’t remember now, but up until a couple weeks ago I had my storage drive with all my games mounted in Fedora and it was NTFS from my previous win11 install.

Chickens can also be raised with very little land and just some basic resources. Cows need large amounts of pasture, barns, special equipment, etc.

They’re upset that she’s no longer the boy they were attracted to.

Remember, the more colourful, the tastier it will be!

your speedometer is calibrated to a specific wheel diameter and is unaware of changes due to tire pressure, wear, using different tires (i.e. winter vs summer tires) etc. All it “knows” is that the vehicle travels x meters per wheel revolution, but that x constantly changes.

This also means your odometer will be off by some margin, and should really only be used as a ballpark value.

And a large number of “fruits” aren’t even a fruit. We’re kinda bad at naming things sometimes
