Everyone's focusing on the cold gas thrusters, which of course is very cool, but not actually shocking that it technically could be done (economically is another question).

But can we talk about the just casually driving straight vertical or sticking to the ceiling? I didn't think that would be technically possible for a 1000kg+ car with probably at least 2" of ground clearance.

There's presumably very limited stores of compressed gas, so you might get one hop or a couple 0-60 boosts per charge. But with electric fans, suction is a feature with much longer duration (minutes?), so you could feasibly do the batman driving on the tunnel ceiling past traffic trick.

Google very very highly weights recent events. Makes it a pain in the ass to try to dig up historic information.

Appears to be back online.

I mean, not auto-purchasing with the card, no. But my wife has definitely used chatGPT to plan activities on the trips we've already booked.

So the goalposts have moved to include continual learning.

In a sense I think no one will agree on a definition of AGI until it becomes impossible to construct any benchmark under which an AI underperforms "average" humans. That or it's defined retrospectively, after it's overwhelmingly obvious it met any such definition.

I'm confused, is this a research device, hobby/tinker item, or consumer product?

I don't mean to be negative, but making a sustainable business on a hardware race to the bottom sounds challenging.

I'd be curious to to know from others here, what in-home tasks do people think they'll really be able to automate with any of the various bimanual or humanoid robot platforms that seem to be going around?

Cynically, I suspect oAI is subsidizing OR tokens to manipulate perceived traction, since OR usage stats get widely publicized

Major tenants like OAI have near total control. These GW-class datacenters are built to spec for the tenant. Construction doesn't start until all the details are signed off.

What I like about this, is that it significantly increases the probability of a sci-fi scenario where you're picking up a hot chip on the black market; rumor has it, Mythos 9 weights baked in...

On the one hand, these debts may be off the balance sheet, but institutional investors certainly know about them and can reason about the company's valuation. Retail investors may be caught out slightly more.

But on the other hand, these companies are essentially paying for the service of taking the debt off books (by paying the leasing premium to the SPV partners). I guess I'm wondering what they really gain from doing so, if again sophisticated investors can see through the games?

That's the government's problem

Noticed this as well. And the additional definitions under "explore this word" are all relating to the root word, not the actual form of the answer
