Not sure what you mean by 'binned'. In some Common Law jurisdictions the deed document represents the property and whoever psychically holds of the deed controls the property. Any centralized recording system merely records the last known status of the deed and additional information such as the nominal owner, mortgage holders, etc.

Why would anyone let you do that? What's their incentive? I assume you're offering something as security for that money (shares?) but why would people complicate an already risky proposition further or go into the money lending business that they're not in?

Or buy a subsidized battery to store the free power and use it whenever you like.

WA will be in 2027.

that's why more recent models move the screen higher up.

That's far from optimal, that would be where I have my phone, at eye level just to the left of my head, right in front of the pillar. It's perfect in every way, especially since I'm longsighted.

Slate has the right idea, car makers should get out of the user software/interface business and prioritize choice. The instrument cluster is fine, as are basic controls, but they just tend to screw things up and add complexity.

How long before they take that option away?

What's stopping a CLI from doing the same?

I've never used IDEs and never will, why are these things being constantly shoved down our throats?

but there's also just too much to report and keep people updated on

This is the biggest indictment of the media, they can't summarize or aggregate? It's not giving the public a true picture. Crooks can get away with corruption in plain sight merely by doing lots of it? It beggars belief.

The Grifter in Chief.

You also have to add the numerous kickbacks Trump's family has received through deals done by the federal government.

All this is hardly reported because the administration has successfully cowed the media.

This is not true, it varies widely between countries, just as it varies between states in the US.

Also free speech/the first amendment and various other rights people are supposed to have but don't in practice.

The fact that you think that past performance dictates future competence is mind blowing. What I described is the hard reality of the Chinese economy right now. Go read about it if you don't believe me.

There are a bunch of forces that drive the Chinese economy, and right now growth is slowing sharply. Their dictatorship and semi-planned economy will ultimately be their undoing.

Selling at a loss isn't required.

Local governments are over-funding numerous producers (though cheap loans and other subsidies and incentives) creating excess competition. This is an ongoing problem and is a huge misallocation of capital. Increasing demand just drives this process harder and puts downward pressure on margins. As soon as they try raising prices, or just through satisfying total demand, demand collapses and they (almost) all go out of business.

The Chinese model has weaknesses, we should be exploiting them.

This is why I don't understand why people complain about impractically cheap Chinese solar panels. The rest of the world should buy enormous quantities and bankrupt the mofos and hugely benefit along the way. Then later they can set up their own solar panel industries.

One lower court has said that the output of AI models is uncopyrightable.

But the real unsettled issue is if model training is fair use, and where copyright infringement might creep in to model output.

LLMs don’t output full copyrighted works word for word

Apparently they do, as per the evidence in the NYT vs OpenAI suit.

You forgot free mobile phone roaming

Maybe for you personally, but in a general sense I don't see how you can hold a phone and "use both hands" to type individual keys.

One notable advantage of swiping is that you can be quite loose with each single swipe gesture whereas you have to hit the right key many times for each word. That swipe is also usually much quicker than finding multiple keys for most people.

You preferences may reflect youth, eyesight, finger size, co-ordination, phone case usage or other advantages most people don't have.

You're way off the mark, and probably viewing this as an American.

If it happens once that means it can happen which means it can happen at any time.

When you feel you're a 2nd class person, or 'other', you're not eager to empower your oppressor, quite the opposite.

Typically when I send a form I will do as much as possible in a PDF editor, including the signature. Most of the world is in denial about how electronic documents, especially scanned ones, work, so you have to play along to stop them from getting upset.

According to your logic the market will produce an LLM that consists only of 'PRINT "I don't know."'.

'I don't know' is the correct answer for infinitley more questions than those that can be answered.

It should be 1 for correct, 0 for don't know and -1 for wrong.

They are much better incentives. In real life a wrong answer is much more damaging than a don't know.

This is kinda fun, but doesn't match most of my experience splitting firewood.

Neither mine, I have a machine that does it for me. Much safer and efficient.

When was the last time you used Google? The first entry (and a few after that) is always spam.

Anyone who does a search and accepts the first answer just doesn't care much or is incompetent. Anyone with any critical thinking whatsoever does way more than that if they want a correct answer.

worry we are going to be left behind.

I bet lemmings are grateful they were left behind.

It beggars belief that people think that they should rush in some uncertain direction, like some drawbridge is going to be lifted the moment people work out what the right direction is. It's utter stupidity.

AI has gotten so good

Actually anything that is about 90% great and 10% disastrously wrong is utter crap given the way people want and do use AI models.

They are great tools in the right hands and awful in the wrong.

If a job or task can be automated, it should be automated. That process increases productivity which is good for the economy and society.

The mistake people make is thinking AI is going to lay waste to almost all employment.

It may change many jobs and eliminate some but see above. If you live in a (functioning) democracy the notion is politically improbable. That's not to say there are not people who will vote against their own interests, again and again, even after being screwed each time. The point is that being politically aware, savvy and organized is an important part of surviving. This was always the case, but recent events make this starkly obvious.

On top of that AI projections are currently a form of mass hysteria or greedy fantasy, depending on if you see yourself as labor or capital. Both utterly unhinged from reality.

That how you end up with chlorinated chicken you'd never knowingly eat.

Obviously any authority that takes its job seriously makes decisions based on facts and not blind trust.

I don't know, what am I gaining from listening to the 100th anti immigrant/POC/trans/gay/poor-person rant? For some reason people feel comfortable telling me this sort of shit. Maybe I look like a bigot.

Interacting with the general public absolutely sucks.
