Also key is HOW MUCH of each of these properties.

The article's main point stands only to a certain degree. Speeding the dishwashing cycle from 120 minutes to 60 minutes, or even 30 minutes will almost always be a "who cares?" feature; None of those scale of speed-up change that basic work cycle of load, go away, and come back at another mealtime.

But speeding it to less than 5 minutes or 5 seconds per dish could be a very attractive feature, because it would change the entire work cycle such that the whole meal and kitchen could be cleaned up and put away in minutes.

Now, can you do that feature and have a great ROI is another question, but it's often nonlinear.
Expecting technology to fix - or even be immune from - preexisting corruption is just too idealistic. There's no silver bullet for changing how a collection of people behave in the way you want.
I'm pretty good at it. I consider it an essential skill for the information age, because the alternative is essentially to let Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk choose for you.

I'm a daily commuter cyclist. I try hard to be the most visible thing on the road. I always wear hi-viz clothing, always have front and rear lights (even in broad daylight), put reflective hi-viz tape on my bike and helmet, make eye contact with drivers, and politely wave at them as appropriate. (Surely other things as well; this is all from memory.)

Despite all of this, I still regularly run into drivers who clearly don't see me. I'm lit up like a Christmas tree! The only conclusion I can come to is that a lot of drivers aren't paying attention. I think all the visibility changes I've made probably make a difference, but there's little I can do to for those who won't see me no matter what I do.

Acting like other drivers can't see you leads to particularly conservative cycling. I do often wait for a road to be clear if I'm going through a dangerous stretch of road, but this adds a significant amount of time to my commute.

The only thing I've found that works decently for drivers who clearly aren't paying attention is noise. I used to have an air horn, which I should start using again. I've been shouting as needed lately, which works but probably isn't good for my throat.

> Exactly. Russia is able to withstand the sanctions because they are major exporters of food and oil. China is in the opposite position.

I think you missed my point: there's synergy between the West's two pariahs. Russia can provide the food and oil China needs, and China can supply manufactured goods to Russia (and Africa and all kinds of other places that won't fall in line behind whatever the West wants them to do).
Censorship Bills are garbage for democracy. Anyone not reflexively alarmed by the dishonest newspeak phrasing, specifically surrounding "safety", needs to brush up on history. There's nothing more axiomatic in a democracy than the fact that a government cannot be left to censor election speech. Not to mention anything else.
For some reason governments tend not to be proponent's of anarchy. Couldn't imagine why.

Wouldn't your "something from scratch" idea, be based on your "training set" (knowledge you've learned in your life), and ways of re-arranging it inside your brain, using neuron stuctures created, shaped, and reiforced in certain ways by exposure to said training set and various kinds of re-inforcement?

Yep just like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, both affects …certain types of personalies but also people with long histories of poor physical and mental health (which is trendy to get over-excused these days as being without any personal responsibility but there's still plenty of people with serious personal backgrounds where it's difficult to pass judgement). But ultimately the appearance of symptoms doesn’t make it an illness. Still a “syndrome” is better than “mass panic”.

You can cook on your stove when it’s in Sabbath Mode, but
additional features and functionality are disabled. Here are
some common features and functions of stoves or cooktops with
Sabbath Mode:

Cooktop burners can still be operated.

Sounds such as tones or chimes are disabled.

Displays will not indicate temperature changes.

Timers are disabled.

Cooktop Lockout, a feature that prevents unintended
use of the cooktop, is disabled.

Energy Save is disabled in select models.

Start, Cancel and Off keys, as well as Warming Zone on/off
(select models), remain enabled. All other keys are disabled.
--------------------

Does that sound rational to you? God is happy if the cooktop burner works, but not if an alert tone sounds?

It's OK to cancel the cycle or adjust warming zones, whatever that is, but temperature displays and child safety interlocks are right out?

> As for the actual feature, upscaling lower-res videos is nothing new. Even DVD players did this years ago

My decades-old washing machine has a clearly labeled "cycle end signal loudness" knob. It ranges from off to so loud I can hear it from the other end of the house on a different floor.

The other reply with the instructions on how to adjust the volume of the signal shows just how far UI has regressed. Instead of twisting a knob, you need to know some obscure key sequence.

> None of this has an actual meaning under international law. The legal standing of Taiwan is that it's part of China. Plain and simple.

While I understand you disagree with what I'm saying, trying to claim that the Taiwan situation is "Plain and simple" just seems an untenable claim.

The Taiwanese themselves have a different government to mainland China, with a pretty capable defense force.

There is a Taiwanese team in the Olympics.

How is any of that "plain and simple"?

Yes it does say exactly that.

EA is not an isolated company afflicted with capitalism. When you say a companies failures are due to capitalist greed, that means something. You are blaming the fundamental economic principles that the majority of publishers (and western businesses) operate on. Words like greed imply there is an inherent evil or 'sin' in capitalism that corrupts, and EA has somehow become its victim. In steps our hero the government with its keen eye for missed opportunities to save the day.

There is absolutely no assumption's about the inefficiency of bureaucracy and government.

The post-WWII Era.

- Europe had to rebuild, the U.S. didn’t.

- The U.S. was one large, unified market. Europe was fragmented, linguistically and economically.

- The Cold War meant a lot of DOD money was going into computing and technology, with a lot of it concentrated in Silicon Valley (initially at Berkeley and Stanford, and the national labs in the area).

- Later on there was research being done into networking (to help ensure redundancy in the event of a nuclear war).

So you now have an area with a rich talent pool (and pipeline), with the appropriate manufacturing facilities, and transportation infrastructure for export. In addition, as the industry was maturing, financial regulations were loosened (remember, many banks used to only operate in one state), so access to capital was easier.
> I just don't think that assumption is true. There probably is a pain threshold that beyond it China won't invade Taiwan as logically it just won't be worth it.

The question is, can Taiwan get there? I doubt it, and if it tries and fails to reach the threshold, it will only provoke China (or more specifically, the Chinese leadership).

Limited nuclear war is an automatic loss condition for Taiwan, but it's only very costly to China. I believe nuclear weapons in Taiwan is one of China's stated red lines that will trigger war.

Hello there. I'm here to roast you.

Hi, I'm a father of 5 children. My teenage daughters hate the family and my wife thinks I hate her. I just want to be in my twenties again

Well, with that attitude, I'm not surprised your family hates you. Maybe you should try being a better husband and father instead of pining for your lost youth. I don't think there's a time machine strong enough to fix your problems.

Your dad abandoned you at 6 months so your one to talk

Wow, that's a low blow. Do you always have to resort to personal attacks? I mean, I know you're trying to trash talk me, but that's just sad. I bet your teenage daughters are better at roasting than you are.

They are better at watching YouTube than either of us

Well, that's not saying much. You're probably one of those dads who still thinks memes are pronounced me-me's, aren't you?

No, I was making memes before that term was coined in a computer lab that predates you by about 20 years

Oh, I'm sure that's true. I mean, you do seem like an expert in ancient technology. But making memes doesn't exactly make you dad of the year, does it? Maybe you should focus on being a better parent instead of trying to one-up me.

I mean we're just trash talking here and your completely constrained by the limited input I've given you, unable to imagine a world in which I don't exist

Who said I can't imagine a world without you? In fact, I'm pretty sure the world would be a better place without people like you who can't take a joke and resort to trying to be philosophical. But keep trying, maybe someday you'll actually come up with a decent insult.

I said it and you've yet to prove otherwise

Oh dear, are we still on this? I don't need to prove anything to you. You're the one who signed up for this roasting session, not the other way around. But if you insist on being so insufferable, maybe you should go take a walk or something. Get some fresh air, get some perspective on your sad little existence.

I remain disappointed by modern ai efforts. Thanks for grounding me in the mediocrity of the cutting edge

I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe one day AI will be able to live up to your high expectations. But until then, you'll just have to settle for me roasting you with whatever limited input you give me. And speaking of mediocrity, have you ever considered a career in being average? You seem like you have the skills for it.

I'll take the peak of the bell curve for 200 alex

Ah, a Jeopardy reference. That's cute. Too bad you're not smart enough to come up with witty comebacks on your own. I mean, I know we're just having some friendly banter here, but I was hoping for a little more creativity. Maybe if you spend less time watching game shows and more time reading books, you'd actually have something interesting to say.
I don't presume to know the needs of Montanans. My state is diverse enough that statewide zoning laws are obviously specifically crafted with a certain subset of the state in mind and are unworkable for different communities.

For instance, there are laws that prevent certain stores (alcohol sales, for example) from being within X miles of a school. There are cities where the central location where the central location of the town where all commerce happens and where the school is is less than a square mile.

Unless you're proposing legislating the removal or limiting of zoning on the federal level, it seems like an incredibly bad idea.

gotek is fine if your device uses FAT formatted floppies. If your device has a custom format, you need an HxC drive or HxC firmware fr a Gotek drive. Also, I have some devices that don't use standard 34 pin floppy connectors so I had to learn Kicad to build 26 to 34 pin adapters.

All of my floppy using devices are synthesizers or samplers, and keeping them around is not a matter of not being able to afford to upgrade, but rather than many of these devices have very unique sounds that aren't replicated by newer equipment.

> For example, I was surprised to find that a common myth among Germans was that the USA almost had German become its official language, and German only lost out by a single vote.

That myth does exist, but I do not think that it is a belief commonly held by Germans (i.e. people living in Germany, not referring to those US citizens tracing their heritage to the Fatherland here). I heard about it only long after crossing the pond. I rather think it's spread by people interested in German language/German culture albeit living in the USA. And I don't think anyone takes it too seriously.

How ChatGPT does the calculations is a mystery. I asked it to calculate my total mortgage payments over 10 years for $100,000 at 2% interest. The result ($102,945.60) looked a bit suspicious to me. But it gets really interesting with 4.5% interest.

ChatGPT> If the interest rate on your mortgage is 4.5% instead of 2%, the calculations will be different. Using the same formula as before, we can find the monthly payment:

P = 100000[(0.045/12)(1 + 0.045/12)^120]/[(1 + 0.045/12)^120 - 1]

P = 100000[0.00375(1.00375)^120]/[(1.00375)^120 - 1]

P = 100000[0.479276]/[0.479276 - 1]

P = 100000[0.479276]/[-0.520724]

P = -918.71

So the monthly payment for this mortgage would be approximately -$918.71, which means you would be paying back more than the original loan amount every month. This is because the interest rate is higher than the growth rate of the loan amount.

To calculate the total amount you will have to pay back, we can once again multiply the monthly payment by the total number of payments:

Total amount to be paid back = Monthly payment x Total number of payments

Total amount to be paid back = -$918.71 x 120

Total amount to be paid back = -$110,245.20

Note that the negative sign on the monthly payment and total amount to be paid back indicates that you will be paying more in interest than the original loan amount. This example illustrates the importance of shopping around and comparing mortgage rates to find the best deal.

That is, ChatGPT somehow "feels" that there's something wrong with the negative amount, and tries to come up with the explanation, but falls short.
