I’m kind of surprised. Apple was on the forefront of dedicated NPU development since the Iphone 8, so it’s a little shocking they haven’t been ahead of the game as far as the software-side AI development goes. But I suppose AI isn’t exactly an easy hurdle. Companies that specialize in massive data sets will most…

Agreed. Rolling 30 days is practically a factory default in a lot of systems. If the FAA expected footage over 60 days, then they should make that an official requirement.

Well put, all around. Too often I feel the modern version of discourse is like taking turns punching each other in the face as oppose to a discussion that could actually change someone’s perspective. People are automatically insulted if you oppose their ideas, even if done so in a non-threatening manner. Things are…

“Bestseller” is questionable when talking about the movies, particularly if looking back historically. The 1984 Dune was a huge flop, grossing only $30M on a $40M budget. And that budget was huge for the era. The top grossing film of that year was Ghostbusters at $220M with a $30M budget. So you’d think studios were a…

Believe it or not, I wasn’t trying to be whatever you were describing. If that’s how I came off, then I guess I’ll own that. I just didn’t like the movie. I think we’re all entitled to like or dislike movies, no? Maybe I did poke a little fun about hitting a nerve, but that was kind of a lot of a response to a quite…

Sounds like a hit a nerve. I just think it’s a corny movie upon adult re-watch, with sophomoric dialog, low brow plot devices (burn the city down just for devil’s night?), and no real rhyme or reason to Eric’s newfound powers. I’ll suspend my disbelief and let it ride that the zombie Eric is unkillable, but he also…

I feel like the original Crow movie only did well because it hit the 90's zeitgeist so well in aesthetic and soundtrack. Lightning in a bottle, so to speak. Just can’t be reproduced in any other era because you either come off terribly dated or devoid of whatever magic that came with the timing of the original.

That’s a crazy amount of thrust. I think NASA’s space shuttle program was around 6 million pounds of thrust, for comparison. Although, I don’t know the weight differences to know the thrust per pound, but at 16 million, I’m assuming SpaceX is still substantially higher here.

“What’s your filler word setting, TARS?”

I agree. It starts off as mindless entertainment, but the massive engagement figures and ability to low-key social engineer movements and the potential to program young minds is what’s truly scary. Not saying any of that is currently happening right now for sure, but the potential is there. Sometimes the tinfoil hat…

I’m glad I’m not the only one. Youtube Shorts constantly feeds this scumbag’s content to me under various other uploaders despite me going well out of my way to note I fucking hate it. Their algorithm and content policing is worthless if it can’t pick up on the fact I find these guys disgusting. 

You’re not wrong, but if you counted the number of failures of Falcon 9 (and Falcon 1 before it) and Dragon 2, you’d have thought it never would have flown. But here we are, 9 successful, sequential manned missions later without any hiccups. So I think that while testing failure isn’t the goal for either Dragon or…

No criminal misuse because the vast majority of crimes are for far less money than a .50 BMG costs.

Honestly, the bullet holes improve the look. Takes it from a rich boy mall cruiser to a “this dude has seen some shit” vehicle.

I think the correct term is “been suicided”. Boeing is too big to fail. And not just in a monetary/shareholder standpoint. They are one of the key players in national defense along with Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. Having them collapse would mean losing and in-house supplier of national defense weapons, not…

I fell in love with Kosol chili sauce while in Thailand. I was a hardcore Huy Fong person, but this beats it hands down as far as sriracha style sauces go.

Computer viruses and malware are like modern Darwinism, culling the weak minded and old. 

That’s weird. I’ve been to Muslim and communist countries, several times before my Global Entry interview. Never came up. I’d also point out that despite having TSA Pre, Global Entry, and Clear, I’ve still been selected for SSSS at security before. That is to say, I don’t think there’s any clear pattern for or against…

Considering the pricing of both models, the 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD version of the MacBook Air 15 cost $1,700; you have to wonder what’s there to justify the extra $300.

That’s his deep cover--”DUI suspect”.
