Video may show whether the pedestrian was visible to the Cruise before the alleged hit-and-run driver collided with the pedestrian.
Did the Cruise note that a pedestrian was in the road?
Did it assume that the pedestrian would not move into the path of the Cruise?
Did it 'know' the hit-and-run driver was going to collide with the pedestrian but assume that it was somebody elses problem because its own lane was clear at that point?
Since the financial AI will be trained on historical trading records which are driven by uninformed and unscrupulous humans making wild assumptions and valuations based upon data pulled from their asses, the AI will be able to make more wild assumptions per second and pull more random numbers out of its electronic ass much faster.
what "the power had seized in the plant" means.
The plant lost its connection to the grid?
The grid itself was down?
The plant generates its own electricity from gas and the generator's bearings failed?
Anyhoo, I have been running simulations on a global network of supercomputers and there is a possibility of maintaining gas supply and pressure even when the computers fail. This radical new concept takes the form of a large gas-tight storage cylinder which can telescope vertically. Even when the myriad of excel spreadsheets being used as databases, process control and mission-critical safety monitoring become unavailable, the weight of the gas storage unit's upper section bearing down on the volume of gas below will maintain gas pressure to the consumers until either the problem is resolved or an orderly shutdown can be initiated. Scale the volume of stored gas to the rate of consumption to give the amount of time needed to avoid loss of supply to consumers.
Although the luddites infesting this site will mock this system as unworkable as it fails to use either blockchain or AI, I think it is worth trying wild crazy ideas just in case they work.
This does actually sound like it could be a benefit. Instead of spending two hours composing an email or presentation filled with lies, half-truths and errors, a manager could have the LLM compose an email or presentation filled with lies, half-truths and errors in only a couple of minutes.
This will enable a sixtyfold increase in the quantity of pointless timewasting, which will obviously lead to a sixtyfold increase in profits.
I would also like to see comparable stats. I would also like to see a group of 20 self-driving cars negotiating road junctions with another 20 self-driving cars travelling the other way.
I would particularly like to see a group of self-driving cars negotiating an obstacle course without any comms as I am not convinced that they are not at least in part operated remotely by a human (possibly just giving a reassuring 'go for it' tap on the spacebar as necessary).
Depends on the model of Honda 50.
50cc and you can pedal it like a bicycle == moped
50cc and fixed pedals and limited to 30mph == moped
This resulted in everyone lusting after pedallable 50cc rip-snorters such as the FS1-E (Fried Sausage, 1 Egg) which had a claimed top speed of 60mph (37mph actual).
Outrageous criminals would fit big-bore cylinders and pistons, resulting in a whopping 15cc increase in capacity !
It should be possible to cook scones in microgravity, with said scone not touching a baking tray whilst cooking. How would one then define the top and bottom of the scone? Why has NASA left this problem unaddressed when they claim to be working toward humans living long periods in orbit/transit?
If you encounter this problem, and there is another floor above to which the lift can be sent, send the overloaded lift up above the desired floor, then call it to the desired floor. Often the lift can halt level from a descent when it is a few inches short when halting from ascent.
Just think of it as an indicator of quality.
If it supports the latest windows, you know there must be plenty of cores and cycles and RAMs to run the crappy badly-optimised code, there must be plenty of storage for the bloated install and the comms is reliably stable for dumping petabytes of telemetry.
I remember being amazed that everyone just accepted that user files could be irrrevocably deleted in such a cavalier fashion. "Hey, the thing I bought to organise my collection has just destroyed that collection! Hey ho, never mind, I shall continue to buy more of their products forever."
