Yes, I used mine in July 2024 to power my fridge and a couple of items when I lost power in Texas. Unfortunately the V2H requires a setup that I don't have.

You can do it with multiple EVs. The KIA EV9 is one of them.

That's why the Democrats lost me. Now I don't associate with any party.

They still email me asking for donations, and I always reply with a question "what's your stance on the genocide in Gaza" none of them responded at all, except Graham Planter.

is it really a joke against AI? To me it seems to be against data privacy violations and abrupt terms of service changes that give users no alternative.

Do you have a source for this?

Presumably they reached a backdoor agreement.

Their pay is shit. I interviewed with them 3 years ago and they offered me peanuts I rejected their offer.

It's about the worth of what I am receiving from my employer and nothing to do with spending it.

If John makes $100k and lives on $10k, then cost of living increases by 100%. I believe John should be paid $200k, and according to you his salary should go to $110k.

The problem would be the dependencies of your dependencies, and keep going many levels.

I hear you, but there has to be some balance between full immunity and no immunity at all. The one thing that comes to mind is rich and powerful people, because they have unlimited resources to sue and ruin the lives of cops, judges and politicians, which would lead to these officials avoiding to hold rich and powerful individuals accountable even when they have committed crimes.

It's technically a chat application. Except you're chatting with an LLM instead of friends and family.

I had a screenshot of my keyboard, I opened it on my computer and zoomed in to match the size of the phone and traced the keyboard on a piece of paper. Then I cut off the letters I needed and typed my password to unlock the phone.

Amazing piece of software. I discovered it very recently when my screen OLED stopped working.

A query created by a human and reviewed by at least 1 other human becomes static after it's merged. But the query from an LLM is dynamic, it can change between two calls in the same session if the LLm sees a reason to change it, and there is no review pipeline and QA stage.

This is the "lesser evil" trick politicians use to silence the opposition.
