It'd an electric ship, which has what is basically a grid scale battery power plant on board to power it.

The problem is range. Good enough for it's intended use as a ferry in South America. But it's going to need to be towed there from Tasmania.

Humans riding racing robots id watch, but not horse racing.

The general public won't accept a system where only a small few have the means to get by and without much work being available to humans anymore, we'll need an alternative economic system, or face serious civil unrest.

With capitalism, for work to be done, you need the possibility of homelessness and/or other types of poverty to motivate humans to work. But that isn't required for robots.

Give them sugar pills and call them smart pills and their test scores will also improve.

That said, I work out daily and only just discovered the well researched and proven benefits of creatine on that front, so now I'm going to try it.

So no real benefit for bot detection here. Just a privacy nightmare for everyone else.

So you think for example you're using Kimi k2.6....but behind the scenes, it's the 4b or 8b quantized versions.

So for open source models, I've started using the providers own service. In the case of Kimi, I don't trust any provider other than moonshot not to quant the model. So far this seems to be getting better results.

If I see a provider not specifiying if they quant or not, I assume that they do.

I'll still use OpenRouter to try new models out, but not for any real work.

But they know nothing about the scaling, performance or maintenance of a system that will inevitably come up in production.

They also can't tell if the code created is maintainable, or unmaintainable sphagetti code.

What happens if there is a race condition, or a memory leak?

I am, however, going to be extensively using AI to prepare for the appointment. A list of questions to ask, what to bring etc. I've also used AI to research in advance what the likely answers will be, so I'll have an idea of follow up questions to ask.

That should hopefully save additional appointments (and billable hours).

They provide a lifeline to women fleeing domestic abuse, who need to contact services without their phone being tracked. Also to homeless and other vulnerable people who may not have access to a phone.

Statistics show lots of calls to emergency services, centrelink (Australia's welfare agency) etc...
