Some of these questions shouldn't be that difficult to answer, and they were asked to provide an initial response anyways.

For example, further up in the bug tracker, they stated that there was an error in a script. If they were able to find an error, why can't they provide the script?

There are democratic parties that care about people's economic concerns. Just because they get discredited by extremist trolls doesn't mean they don't exist.

If they are really going to install fans to generate downforce, they will need space that the battery could otherwise occupy. The lower weight of a smaller battery is also beneficial for acceleration.

Based on the specs, I wouldn't compare the (non-existing) roadster to regular electric cars, but rather to something like the McMurtry Spéirling, which also has active downforce. It's not about range, but acceleration and cornering speed.

Haha, that's exactly the reaction you could hear from the crowd in the demo video. Made for bros by tech bros.

Motors don't need combustion, they just need to provide power. See electric motors or compressed air engines.

I'm wondering if it could even be sold to individuals given that the thrusters probably count as restricted military technology?

There are lots of situations where touching the phone is not possible or not ideal. For instance, when you're working with your hands and they are dirty, you might not want to get your phone dirty as well. Or the other way around, you might not want to touch your contaminated phone while handling food.

I sometimes use Siri to set timers while cooking. Unfortunately, adding items to the shopping list doesn't work well enough, Classic Siri is not smart enough to place them in the food section.

> The ideal person should be ecstatic with new capabilities being unlocked. But they are complaining. Why?

It's because the ideal person is put in a disadvantage against the lazy person.

Someone who actually wants to learn can use it to learn, or to improve quality, or do other beneficial things. Although it's certainly not infallible and the output can't just be trusted.

People are lazy though, and in a lot of places you'll find that for every 1 person who cares about their craft and wants to learn, there are 10 that just want to get the work done with minimal effort. So now it looks like the lazy ones are more productive than the conscientious people.

Paying bills of the same 3 companies each week is also not something that requires a LLM. In other countries, it would simply be a direct debit transaction or a scheduled bank transfer.

It's the difference between cooking and ordering a meal

That's a bad analogy because your prompt is not an abstraction of the generated code

I was about to comment that the physical structure of the food and the fiber content also make a difference. For instance, rolled oats are available in different thicknesses, and the thicker ones don’t digest as easily. Brown vs white rice is another example.

But these examples have different glycemic indexes, which the study matched for.

Daylight in the evening is not equivalent to daylight in the morning if a healthy circadian rhythm is the goal

And this seems to be another attempt at that. We already had the European Payments Initiative (with Wero), and now they are starting the European Network for Payments. Sounds like the People's Front of Judea vs. the Judean People's Front.

Edit: There was also the Euro Alliance of Payment Schemes
