it’s ok, the silicon valley is still sleeping or stuck in traffic
it’s great if we could increase the ambient sound time frame to simulate the real time between stations, it’s eerie to hear stations that fast
they also force you to give a recovery account. i’m thinking microsoft’s hands are tied in this matter, it might be the government forcing a kyc strategy

paid HOV lanes in the bay area are a so enraging. they created a problem by restricting the number of lanes and increasing traffic and offered a monetary solution at the same time by having you pay for the “fast” lane

too bad it's not running PaLM 2
I'm surprised they've chosen to release a medical focused model (Med-PaLM 2) before releasing a law focused model of PaLM. I'd think it would be simpler to train and also less liability?

I find it much harder to do any type of photography in the USA where it's hard to find places to walk around. And if you do find a place to walk you'll end up in strip mall, a parking lot, a multistate chain.
