Well, that’s true.

But one fun quirk is that (at least here in Finland) the EU plate isn’t mandatory, you can get a clean one with no country code but then if you leave the country you are required to indicate your country of origin with a bumper sticker. So the automated license plate reader might need to be able to figure out from what country this is, and often that sticker will be stuck to the corner of the rear window.

Also a reminder - there will be no sticker on the front :)

It’s skinny so that they can stuff the sides full of ads.

There are no standard plates in the EU. The only matching thing is the country code on the left side.

That’s because the joke got updated to the newest OS version until CONFIG.SYS got entirely removed in Windows ME and it just didn’t work any more.
It’s originally from MS-DOS times. Earliest telling of it I know of is from 1996.

Frame was originally intended to be cheaper than the Index kit, Quest 3 was $499-$650, so maybe $700-850 depending on storage. Steam Deck got a $300 price hike just recently, so there’s a possibility it could still be closer to a grand than one and a half.

In most EU countries, the act of filming in public places is perfectly legal as there is “no expectation of privacy”. It only becomes a legal issue if you publish those videos, and even then it usually requires the person to be the focus of the video.

OpenAI isn’t running ChatGPT on RTX 5090’s, they use data centre hardware like the nVidia NVL72, which are entirely useless for anyone else. You wouldn’t even be able to boot it as it uses more power while idling than a residential home has access to, and up to 150kW at full load.

Technically. The vote was worded in a way that it was about removing the old law - stopping it from being renewed automatically - which requires a 2/3rds majority to happen.

She was convicted of murder, life in prison is the mandatory punishment for that in the UK currently, so, yes.

Back in 1955, actually up to 1969, the mandatory punishment for murder was execution.

”What if its ten? And then we have to split them between us?!

Well, true. People, I.e private companies, can do all kinds of silly things like respect their workers, or think about the future, or prioritise a myriad of things that aren’t just short-term profits and investor pockets. For them, the term growth isn’t just about revenue and a graph on the stock market.

That doesn’t really work with a publicly traded company, especially when the people in charge get a bonus based on quarterly profits, even if the company makes decisions that destroy it in the future. Memory manufacturers know damn well this isn’t in any way a long term sustainable situation, but they are making the most (money) of it while they can.

Why would anyone bother making consumer RAM for cheap when they can use that manufacturing capacity to make it for the AI datacenters instead, who pay a premium?
When the king orders 1000 cakes, the baker isn’t going to be making bread for the peasants.

Art of the Deal, baby.

And just like spam detection, as the AI detection tools are looking for artifacts and glitches that are the result of the generation, the only way to get around them is to improve the output to be cleaner and more human-like.

The end result is either hitting the limit with generation and being able to block most of it, or surpassing the ability for content detection, making it essentially indistinguishable from real content. Which is either a great, or a really horrible result, depending on your stance on listening to AI music, i.e do you dislike it because it current sounds bad, or on principle because it wasn’t made by a human no matter how good it is.

it’s still unclear why, and how, that happened.

Because someone decided to fly a plane through an airspace occupied by a building.
I kinda doubt Beijing has some rapid air defence interception plan that could somehow prevent someone flying their own private plane into a building if they so desire, any more than they can prevent someone swerving into oncoming traffic on purpose.

I don’t know if it’s different where you are, but here in Finland the generics (in store brands) are actually quite often made by the same big local brands, but depending on your food label laws it can be impossible to determine. Here they need to tell the country and actual manufacturer in the packaging making it easy.

It actually kinda is, the price has been $29 since 1995, adjusted for inflation they should be asking for $64 today.

Question the artificial instead. It can mean man made, but can also mean fake, and LLMs are definitely excellent at faking being intelligent.

Yet extremely understandable. On the global market, a phone without WhatsApp is basically a phone that cannot text people. For example, in Germany or Spain, 90% of internet users also use WhatsApp.

It would be like trying to sell a streaming box/tv and deciding that because Google is evil it doesn’t support YouTube.
