Who lunches for several days/weeks? logically you would charge high speed through a plug with energy generated by panels that are much more efficiëntly (money+yield) placed and not have to carry around.
Re:Apple's naming conventions are a mess on Friday October 11, 2024 @11:08AM (#41810163)
I mean you are not wrong, but some things just grow this way historically. It is not an easy decision to rebrand strong brands (like iPhone) to a more generic but better naming scheme.
Re:Sweden wants to build an entire city from wood on Tuesday June 27, 2023 @03:46AM (#36490040)
Yeah, i can see that being a problem. The renderings always look sharp, and weathering can give a much different and more uneven/random look. This ofcourse is al subjective.

Re:Ask HN: Are there any search engines without AI? on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @04:43AM (#35611479)
This is a 5 year old video about how search works. They are already talking about using machine learning for ranking wich is kinda like AI depending on your definition.

Maybe search for "how do search engines work"
Zippyshare should add limits and advertise for nordvpn to circumvent these limits.
Can vouch for Miele dishwasher. The rollers on the racks are not comparable to any other brand. Sooo smooth.

It is being more informative than your own explenation why chatgtp is "wrong"

"The American Soccer League is a real thing, but it didn't exist until the 1900s"

Re:The fraudulent claims made by IBM about Watson and AI on Monday February 06, 2023 @03:06AM (#34674616)
Dude, you are explicitly ask chatgpt to do a creative task. Here is the awnser without the hack.

give me a history of the best teams in the American Soccer League from 1850-1859

I'm sorry, but the American Soccer League was not established until the 20th century (1913-1983). There was no organized league for soccer in the United States during the 1850-1859 time period. However, various forms of soccer-like games were played in the US during that time.

Re:Just Eat Takeaway to acquire Grubhub for $7.3B on Thursday June 11, 2020 @11:12AM (#23489715)
I only got anecdotal evidence. Sometimes i just google the name of a restaurant i want to order.

Most of the times the results are:

- ad: order X on thuisbezorgd

- google widget about X

- 1) squated domain with thuisbezorgd order page for X

- 2) real domain of restaurant X

Re:Just Eat Takeaway to acquire Grubhub for $7.3B on Thursday June 11, 2020 @03:11AM (#23486009)
Aah thuisbezorgd/takeaway does squad domains so grubhub will fit right in.

Re:The Samsung Galaxy Fold's display seems to have problems on Wednesday April 17, 2019 @04:48PM (#19686362)
The phone is supposed to release 26th.. "Just review" models can't be much different from the final devices. Also, why would Samsung risk giving high profile reviewers inferior "just review" models? I would give them the best QAd devices i'd got.

Sounds like a lot of people are wishful thinking this isn't going to be a release disaster. My bet is Samsung will pull the plug and not release it at all (this year).

Re:Volk Fi: Distributed network smartphone on Wednesday March 20, 2019 @12:50PM (#19444048)
It is hard to create coverage from nothing. So they made an hybrid form. "Bring your own coverage unless there is coverage". Something is better than nothing i guess. Even with this hybrid version i think chances are very slim one node will meet another and create a tiny chain by pure coincidence.
Re:Spotify to Apple: Time to Play Fair on Wednesday March 13, 2019 @01:01PM (#19380766)
The term monopoly should be well defined. If you apply that definition to the real world situation and ask yourself the question "What does Apple have a monopoly on?". How is that "dangerous thinking"?

You can argue the term isn't well defined or you can disagree with the definition. But you can't say it is "dangerous thinking" when someone simply applies the definition.

Keypress.js doesn't really help creating a keylogger. It does make creating interactive ads easier though.
