Best Buy sells the "DuraPro - Partial Sun Series 43" Class LED Outdoor Partial Sun 4K UHD TV (2023)" which is supposedly a "non-smart" TV. I just ran a search and don't know anything about it, personally. They could still be screenshotting AFAIK.

>The main thing you can do is support companies and groups who are releasing open source models. They are usually using their own data.

Alternatively we could create standardized open source training data like wikipedia, wikimedia as well as public domain literature and open courseware. I'm sure that there are many other such free and legal sources of data.

tauroursodeoxycholic acid, aka TUDCA. I have M.S. Going to calculate a dose and give it a shot.
Re:Ask HN: I hate gym. How to stay in shape? on Tuesday February 07, 2023 @02:31PM (#34698018)
Since you “train in Boxing” once a week, expand on that and train outside of the gym like you’re going to compete in Boxing. Jump rope, run/walk, do calisthenics, and look into Kettlebells plus resistance bands. Also stretch more and possibly buy boxing bags for your home. I do this, but I prefer to train for Kickboxing.
LiDAR, plus it could be a dry run for more advanced balloons with offensive capabilities.

Googling “ graythorn assessment resources” gives us nothing useful. Please post more detail.

At this point it’s safest to just assume they’re not private conversations.

I’ve considered outsourcing all of my online dating to humans that handle that professionally. The point is to get to the first REAL date and skip the B.S.

No, so we can harvest their eyes and use their brains for research.

What do you mean by “the walking pill”?
Can you name one of these “ custom peptides “ or a source for one? This is interesting.
“ I am worried that I will delay that decision and end up in a situation where I lose my faculties to make that decision.”

Same. I have cognitive issues from m.s. and intend to move somewhere where my desire is respected. My quality of life already sucks, so I may make the decsision sooner than would normally be expected.

Photos, please.
SMIC is “ Chinese Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation ”.
Is it really an unpopular opinion, though? I drive a hybrid with a touchscreen Navigation/Entertainment system and own an iPhone. Both are unusable in bright sunlight. I can’t imagine a car that relies 100% on a touchscreen - and I also think that we should be using e-ink on those screens.

“ Men need to address skills deficits to meet healthier relationship expectations.”

Define “healthier”. On the contrary I see pervasive and normalized misandry. In my employee handbook one of the examples of sexual harassment is “asking a coworker out on a date”. Yeah, fuck that.

Moderna is already working on a vaccine. This disease has ruined my life in more ways than one and I hope the vaccine eliminates the disease. Nobody should have to live like this.

Big-boards used to list the biggest forums and I think it would be relatively simple to recreate it using ml and web scraping. Someone more knowledgeable than me probably has a better idea of how to do it:

There are small robotic “wingman” tanks under development right now. Crewed tanks will be fielded with robotic escorts in the future.
Re:Ask HN: Is it the “worst” time to buy a house? on Monday June 13, 2022 @01:30AM (#31721555)
Ok, wow, so it is not trivial and my one question was intended to be just an opening question in a larger conversation. It took some effort and multiple website searches to find affordable rentals in the USA that were not in high crime areas, near specialized healthcare that I need, with reasonable laws regarding certain things that matter to me, and that had the amenities I was searching for. If you had simply said “Cambodia” we could have had an interesting conversation about how useless Google is in this case.
I think the batteries would need to have a vent and you would want to be able to access them quickly in case of a fire. All I know for sure is that I would not want batteries attached directly to my house.
