Reading about it, I see some characteristics: no screen, possibly something you can carry in your pocket, possibly has ai-driven awareness of its environment. OpenAI wants to get into the hardware business, so they came…
It's a fun idea but there's ample public reporting about how Google reacted to the rise of ChatGPT. There is reporting that Google was taken by surprise. You can be skeptical of that, but that's what the reporting says.…

What I get from this is a description of how it is locked down, but not really an explanation of what you wish to do but cannot.
I had a 2021 Accord Hybrid, and it is not like what you describe. I think it has a different design than older Honda hybrids. It has two electric motor-generators. Below about 40 mph, propulsion is entirely electric.…
Anyone who has comparison shopped new and used Teslas over the last few years can tell you that the price of <1 year old, low mileage Teslas runs very close to the new price minus $7500.

I find it odd that Tesla removed creep mode as an option. For newer vehicles, there is only one-pedal mode. I've heard it increases the rated mileage, but not sure if that's the reason.
One of my first tasks as a junior dev was replacing an incorrect/incomplete "roll your own" CSV parsing regex (which broke in production) with a library.
The Pro Max was the best-selling model of the last couple of generations, then the Pro, the the base. I agree with you, and I bet the Air will not be in 4th place like the Plus and Mini models.

It says 165g. It's lighter than the base model.
233g for pro max, 206g for pro, 165g for the Air. That's a big difference. I figure the Air will be a more compelling in person. It also replaces the worst selling model of the four. The 15 plus and 16 plus models did…
It could also lead to people buying cheap, potentially defective chargers online instead of getting a more reliable manufacturer-included one.
Since "AI bubble" has become part of the discourse, people are watching for any signs of trouble. Up to this point, we have seen lots of AI hype. Now, more than in the past, we are going to see extra attention paid to…
I'm curious about battery replacement (1.5%) compared to the rate of engine replacement for ICE vehicles.
In the long run, yeah. In the short run, owners can carry unsold inventory for quite a while, hoping conditions improve, before there is pressure to do something (e.g. a balloon payment).

My daily notes are only a few words. It is helpful to have some record of what I've been working on when preparing to meet with my manager, and for annual reviews.
I have the same view, and I was hoping that someone would provide some evidence as to why they are harmful in typical quantities found in foods. It seems to me that because these additives are so widely used, we would…

Meanwhile, the main attraction of the upcoming iphone 17 lineup is a thin and light "Air" model that has a bigger screen and a smaller battery.
