The first data point in the time series seems to be from 1991, yet the x-Axis starts at 1949. Why? I'd have a better overview of the price changes if the actual data had more space.

It's not like black soldiers for Nazi Germany are offensive. It's just stupid and everyone who knows how ML works knows that Google does a lot of stupid, often called “woke”, stuff to produce these images. Any other non-mutilated ML algorithm would just give you the more historically but also more common in the dataset version of white Nazis.

Does this have any merit aside from satisfying intellectual curiosity? I assume GPS receivers to be quite cheap these days?

I'm not particularly fond of piracy either, but I get people doing it. If I were to consume more media content, I'd probably do the same, the whole shenanigans around which show/movie is with what provider today ruined the experience of modern streaming platforms. Early Netflix (streaming) was perfect, but the movie studios/distributors ruined it, they deserve to suffer.

When they finally release this train wreck to the EU we will have had another round of OpenAI, Antrophic and finally Mistral releases. Why even pretend to compete Google? Just admit already that you guys are only interested in shoving ads in our faces and call it a day?

Their abysmal user support is the number one complaint. How the f*ck didn't they wake up to this issue by now.

I think they are in dire need of a leadership change. If they want to serve businesses, they need to adopt actual business practices.

> Most simple multiplication and division... Just to get some idea of unit economics.

I always considered this to be the fundamental promise of vertical farming. Maximum efficiency and easy forecasting of outcomes. Basically, reducing farming to a function with several very controllable inputs and an easy computation yielding the outcome.

I think Elon inspired a lot of great things. Undeniably he brought back the Space craze, he gave the automotive industry enough of a push to finally invest in something different from ICE tech or their pipe dream of hydrogen cars. But things like FSD really ruin all those achievements for me. I'd still be impressed if he said: "this is hard, we're working on it, we do incremental roll-outs and once we're there, we're there".
