Imagine hiring a taxi without having your lawyer review the terms and conditions, lol

I think it’s supposed to be inflation adjusted?

I think Sysco is up about 10% per year on average since 1990 so it’s not so bad…

Because he wasn’t moving very fast… To be in orbit you need to be traveling around the earth extremely quickly. The problem is slowing down, not the altitude.

Hand coverings should be banned.

I don’t think they were necessarily claiming they were happy, just that we didn’t know for sure what they were thinking. Some people were claiming that they were definitely unhappy… But I don’t think you can know that without asking them.

Obviously it sucks if they have to move, but it’s hard to feel too sorry for people that have become incredibly wealthy…

Also, municipal expenses don’t scale directly with property values… So while local taxes are often based on home values, they are adjusted to the level that meets the municipal budget. If everyone’s house doubles in value one year, taxes stay the same, not double…

Yeah, it’s taken forever for this version to come out. Xbox series x (and s) got a native version relatively recently.

You could use the PS4 version before. Hopefully this new version will use the PS5 hardware to the fullest.

$1.5k is still not a very expensive bike. Only at the low end of “non trash components”.

But you have to select if it was human or not, right? So if you can’t tell, then you’d expect 50%. That’s different than “I can tell, and I know this is a human” but you are wrong… Now that we know the bots are so good, I’m not sure how people will decide how to answer these tests. They’re going to encounter something that seems human-like and then essentially try to guess based on minor clues… So there will be inherent randomness. If something was a really crappy bot then it wouldn’t ever fool anyone and the result would be 0%.

Right, but that would be fine because they’d have so much money from subscriptions at that point…

How much could a tweet cost? $10?

I think the one in Maine was mostly in Canada so the portion in the US was smaller.

I’ve had drift issues with my pro controller several times and I think I have less play time than you. Many of these controllers use the same stick component inside.

Depends on the terms of the contract…

Isn’t most of the AI training work in the world done on Linux using Nvidia GPUs (in the cloud)? I guess it’s a different use case…

I think weight in the wheels is a huge downside of hub motors though? So this kinda takes a middle ground… Unsprung weight is still increased but not nearly as much.
