"it's never the crime... its the cover up". So in this case, they are kinda screwed.
I've owned two Tesla's ( now a Rivian/Porsche EV owner). Hands down Tesla has the best cruise control technology in the market. There-in lies the problem. Musk constantly markets this as self driving. It is NOT. Not yet at least. His mouth is way way way ahead of his tech.
Heck, stopping for a red light is a "feature", where the car is perfectly capable of recognizing and doing so. This alone should warrant an investigation and one that i completely, as a highly technical user, fell for when i first got my model 7 delivered... Ran thru a red light trying out auto pilot for the first time.
I'm honestly surprised there are not more of these lawsuits. I think there's a misinterpretation of the law by those defending Tesla. The system has a lot of legalese safe-guards and warnings. But the MARKETING is off. WAY OFF. and yes, users listen to marketing first.
and that ABSOLUTELY counts in a court of law. You folks would also complain around obtuse EULA, and while this isn't completely apples to apples here, Tesla absolutely engages in dangerous marketing speak around "auto pilot". Eliciting a level of trust for drives that isn't there, and they should not be encouraging.
So sorry, this isn't a political thing ( and yes, disclaimer, also a liberal).

The oddity is that LLMs are sounding... too... Human... the reacting to information and regurgitating it a bit too much like the average "learned person". Adding a ton of extrapolation of the "facts", just as we would.
LLMs sound like any pundit on any random tv show/newspaper/blog. The goal was never "fact", it was sounding human, and "intelligence", for which the definition in this case has been.. sounding human. Not being right.
Now, the question of whether they should or shouldn't do this...
Why is Meta the wildcard? Meta has the largest track record of open sourcing everything. From hardware (OpenCompute suite of releases ) to pretty much all software ( HHVM, Hack, Buck, etc etc ) that would benefit wider use.
Even Meta's ML research has a history of open sourcing everything, hello PyTorch. So Llama is just a continuation
Because who then pays for the content? Time and time again, the average person has shown that they will rather spend X times more on a trivial thing than content.
This is more acute on hard news. Where a single page article may cost 100k to produce, yet wont be able to be monetized per its "cost to produce".
So yes, it would be a disappointment to lose "great content". now, here lies in the kicker. You get to decide great content with your patronage ( or lack there of)
I really really really dislike this whole trend to feel “victimized” while being some of the most successful people in earth. People are “turning” on Elon after being hugely beloved, purely cause he’s doing idiotic things. Plain an simple.
Furthermore, we should hold someone who’s the richest person on earth to higher standards.
>Another example is the new Disney's Pinocchio, were the Blue Fairy is portrait by a black woman. The problem is not that she is black of course. but that the original story is set in Italy, Tuscany, mid 1800, were no black woman was ever seen
It’s quite clear that that is YOUR problem. It’s funny when people like yourself claim “I’m not X” while then clear laying the case.
And for the récord, i hope you open up a geography book. There’s been black people in Italy for pretty much all it’s history. You may want to also read a few history books. (Black moors, Alessandro de' Medici, etc )
Also, can people just chill with this racist crap. It’s freaking art, up to interpretation. An actor can be of any race or gender. Get over it.
But, what this war has exposed is how bad the russian army is trained, and how not so great their equipment is. While a prolonged war would be hard for any country, they struggled from the get go.
I hope this doesn't embolden the US and Europe to be more aggressive. I really hope that cooler heads eventually prevail.
WRT to the really really far fetched ( I hope ), that Russia would launch any nuclear strike. The missile defense systems that NATO and the US have were built exactly to counteract Russian missiles in a situation like this. This will even accelerate the development of hypersonic interceptors ( afaik, already in final stages) .
It would mean total annihilation of russia, as their in flight missies would be intercepted, and it would guarantee a total attack by the us. ( we as a nation tend to over react... and not go tit for tat ).
I hope this never happens. The reason why countries need leadership changes often. And why stable leaders are needed everywhere :-/
Ah yes, nothing like building a "sustainable" community in the dessert.
Yes, there's sarcasm in there.
But part of long term human sustainability is well, figuring out the areas we should not fight the environment ( more than reasonable ) to be able to sustain a human population.
" In 2004, it signed a deal with Virgin Galactic to develop the Virgin SpaceShip, a suborbital spacecraft, for space tourism. Virgin Group and Scaled Composites have subsequently formed a joint venture, The Spaceship Company, to manufacture the spacecraft."[0]
Or you know, you could just go to their website and confirm that in fact, they did win it[0]
There will always be naysayers, detractors, and people who will always question the value of exporation and human inventiveness.
Like in business, if it was obvious, it would have long been done. Yes, it does tak ea bit of brashness and self serving to do new things. and their practically is seldomly obvious at the beginning.
But this is EXACTLY how humanity moves forward!!! The crazy ones, the selfish ones. The ones that sometimes do it for the glory, or just because its' hard.
It's very easy to critique, but in the words or someone else... "what have you done that is so great?"
I'm saying Apple is ok with exempting themselves. How come their apps are not using the same dialog? Why do they hide behind "location services", when in reality, they are used for similar purposes?
How can AirTags highjack ANY apple device to report their location, without asking the device owner? Do IOS owners get asked in a dialog about allowing air tag tracking? NOPE
"here’s a bunch of reasons why this might not work, not least that no-one except Google and Apple want Google and Apple to have that much control over publishing and advertising. "
I've said this previously, if you for a second think Apple is protecting you against evil "Social Media company" or "Evil X Advertiser", you are wrong. Apple is only looking out for Apple. And they want to be the one who controls user data. Plain and simple.
The enemy of your enemy is not necesarily your friend.
Things SHOULD change. Moving the power from one big corp to another big corp is not the answer. No matter how convenient it may seem.
Just no. I really don't understand this irrational, baseless fear. Water does clean.
- Fatbergs ( danger in flushing them )
- Hands touching excrement, then you touching other surfaces.
- No, an active nozzle can't get soiled the way you think. This is almost akin to thinking that a faucet can get dirty. The force of flow is a LOT larger than projectile acceleration no matter how bad those tacos where. In any case, most bidets have self cleaning, and anti microbial surfaces.
But sure, keep on smelling. it's your choice after all.
I guess you need me to list them. ( this is just getting funny.. telling people that cleaning their bum after number two is a positive thing.. i thought we covered this in pre-school, next up.. why you should use a washcloth or equivalent and not stick the bar of soap up your... crevices )
- smells
- dirty laundry
- Comfort (not wallowing in your own filth)
- sweat does tend to flow.. bringing with it.. you guessed it.
But onto your point about "disinfection". I don't know which alcohol baths you take, but full disinfection isn't the goal. But since you need evidence.. "How effective is soap over plain old water? It works, but all else being equal, water has a greater marginal effect. " [1]
What you just described is an issue with every toilet seat... it is not unique to bidets.
What I think you mean is that the sprayer/nozzle can get dirty? Do you have similar fears of your kitchen/bathroom faucet? because there's no way anything can stay in the spray nozzle of a bidet. that part self cleans instantaneously.
