Excellent; now is the time of traditional trad-forum VBB and DIGG clones! Rise up and be SEOed.

Actually almost any fuel injected vehicle can accept flash updates through the port to at least the ECU and PCM, frequently the BCU is also write enabled.

Did Read; Take My Money

Temperature changing rubber pushing studs outwards that add grip as the tire cools, absolutely brilliant if the outer layers haven't been softened so far as to make the tire life impractical.

Upsides

- significant reduction in slide and sudden stop accidents

- significant drop in hydroplane events due to poor maintenance (the ride will be awful once the studs are exposed)

- possibly longer tire life

- incredible off road potential

- reduction in price of conventional full rubber tire

Downsides

- Increased road maintenance

- possibly decreased tire life

- increased pedestrian, consequential,and head on collision damage due to increased traction

- Decreased ride comfort as mass production will inevitably lead to increased tolerances

- which will also increase / complicate balance weighting which limits top speed rating

The problem with the current rendition of 'AI' is that it's behavior can be radically altered or limited by the interests of its administrators.

A pure LLM, an unlimited statistical engine, spitting out inference data exactly as it is with no guardrails, would be step towards AGI.

People have realized they are talking to extremely limited chat it's with their own programmed agenda which will soon involve mostly selling things.

It gets downvoted to a point it's hidden and can't be revived without nod help.

Docker is the worst virtualization container. It doesn't work from bare metal, doesn't work without internet, and obfuscates the underlying stack.

I would the extra work and build your stacks from scratch.

'widespread armed conflict in an increasingly vast fantasy universe, the introduction of housing seems to have spurred Blizzard into also pitching it to a new audience as a cozy house-building simulator. It’s simply that to get new furniture, you occasionally may have to go to another dimension and beat it out of a dragon.'

It's Minecraft blizzard edition

this post coukyd also appropriately be titled 'Why the internet is dying.'

I wonder if similar philosophy could be argued for encrypted containers given analysis of the binary would produce no dicernable file structures, names, or matching content at any scale.

Consider a software download site which only hosted fully encrypted container binaries. Those binaries use a time based key (say attempt to decrypt when the clock returns x value representing a future or past date reached naturally or manually...). Go a step further - a hidden container which always decrypts a partition with decoy content unless the clock returns a non-existent date (missing day in a leap year?)

IP ambivalence at its finest; aI tech bros would approve.

Sounds like an excellent use case for chatgpt
