With this character's death, the thread of prophecy has been severed. Reload to restore the weave of fate, or persist in this doomed world you have created.
I don't know if it's possible, since it's exposed to the elements. Manufacturers have certainly tried.
It wasn't all that long ago that a few car companies were selling their CVT transmissions as having lifetime transmission fluid, that didn't need topping up or changing.
Even if it's as minimal as having to change the brakes/tyres, there's still going to be maintenance that needs to be done, if only to check that the car can go some period of time without needing further maintenance.
The way they've done the front/sides makes feel big/tall, in a way that a lot of other Ferraris don't. Like someone took a crossover SUV, and flattened it a bit with a hydraulic press.
Like a car from the future e.g. “ghost in the shell” etc.
At the same time, it does feel like almost every EV/Hybrid tries to go for the futuristic styling, enough that it's starting to become a bit bland, since a lot of EVs end up taking after that kind of look. It was neat the first few times, but it's starting to wear out its welcome, imo.
Making it seem like a normal car that just so happens to be driven by an electric powertrain would give it a bit more appeal.
Microsoft going out of business/doing severe restructuring or downsizing
Although I wonder if they could. Microsoft seems like one of those "too big to fail" companies, where they'd never be allowed to fall on their face, since Azure and Exchange prop up so many things. It's not like there's a major second option for an OS if you just buy a computer off the shelf like a lot of people do. You either get a Windows or a Mac.
If that’s the appetizer, how juicy’s the entree gonna be?
At the risk of going on a tangent, isn't the entrée the appetiser? You don't have an appetiser, an entrée, and then the main course.
It's also a big attack surface. Just like how a lot of malware looks for the browser password cache now, it doesn't take much for a malware developer to just go for the recall store. The malware doesn't need to pack in software to take screenshots, if the OS serves it up for them on a platter.
I don't think Socrates, who once said writing withers the mind, and that those who rely on writing would be lost when they no longer had slate to write upon, would ask Plato to write anything he said down.
I have much the same gripes about Voyager making the Warp 10 speed limit a universal hard limit, rather than something that the warp drive was simply not able to achieve.
At least Discovery's could still pulled them back out of the rug with them not having to wring every single piece of dilithium for all it's worth.
"If you go just a bit faster than the Voyager, the universe itself breaks, and all propulsion technologies are obsoleted past the threshold" is much harder to get around without something like Q shenanigans.
"I'm working on a machine that will make you guys redundant, and then I'll make those booing me see. l'll make you all see." is hardly going to do that.
He would be much better off talking about how it was the stuff of science fiction not long ago, and how the graduates would be helping to push humanity forward, and make real, things that were also previously considered impossible.
Some of the talks are also just really bad. I've seen a few, and they're little more than ads, or bragging about a thing the institution is doing that's unrelated to the graduates themselves. Saw one where the speaker was talking about how the college was using AI for various things. Why even have that in the graduates' speech?
Distillation isn't stealing the original model, though. It just uses the models to make synthetic training data to train their own thing. They aren't stealing the model itself.
It also doesn't seem like as big a deal as Anthropic and Open AI make it look, IMO. Them treating it like a national security issue where the company gets its models stolen from under its nose just comes across like a media company claiming that every download is a copy they would otherwise have sold at full price, and thus they have accrued trillions of dollars in damages.
I could, in theory, take a bunch of google Gemini outputs, and train a GPT-2 model on them. That doesn't mean that I've recreated Gemini, nor does it mean that i've stolen it from Google, either.
To top it all off, it's not like their services were abused. The companies were presumably paid appropriately for the usage.
Their reputation is also a bit in the toilet, because people hear "AI" and think of ChatGPT.
So "man hospitalised after AI suggested he put glue on pizza for tackiness" would have people think he was using it, when he might well have been using a different LLM.
The cost has also shot up because a lot of the new frameworks are much more token heavy than the old ones.
So the original free plan might have made sense when people were only typing little questions into it, and using a handful of tokens, but is no longer cost-effective with things like modern agent pipelines constantly throwing tens of thousands of tokens at the service.
I tried running a little locally hosted agent thing on my computer the other day, and it was feeding a hundred thousand tokens at the model every few minutes, because it was keeping all the files in context. Sure, it hit the cache a lot, and so the effective cost would be less, but it's still a lot more token usage than me poking the model with inane questions.
No. Or at least, I'd have it done the way Daft Punk/Yoko Taro do. You're only known as the character in costume, and not elsewise.
Otherwise, every single aspect of your life gets pried into, and you can't trust anything to be what it seems to be. Anything you say, or opinion you hold would be a headline, and anyone who claims to want to be your friend could easily be angling for your wealth/connections more than anything else.
Do they even make enough heat for that to be viable option? Most computer systems can handle a pretty low temperature before they start having problems because they're over-heating.
It just makes them seem obnoxious, since the example they chose was a parent who was distracted with the computer open in the changing room while they were supposed to be helping their children with their skates, and literally mentions how the other parents have to navigate around the thing.
You'd be more inclined to think that they're a computer addict who can't put the the thing down for even a moment.
On top of that, the video is basically a recipe to drop the laptop and have it shatter into fine powder, if you're holding it by the corner like that.
A fantastic amount of talking. The militaries would want to be in readiness, for example, just in case the extraterrestrials are not friendly, and the diplomatic corps would be doing their best to figure out how to communicate with them.
A lot of religions might also be thrown a bit into the air by the arrival of aliens, so there would be some chatter there, too.
Are aliens subject to human rights? Are they beings also made in God's image, etc.
