It’s a shame this is just slop, an approach like this could be interesting, using web APIs instead of native apps… but iOS Safari doesn’t support Web Bluetooth so it’s not going to work on iPhones at all which is a big unmentioned limitation.

Probably because it’s untested AI slop.

I'm sure BMW would love to not be liable in those cases if they could just decide not to be liable, but inspections and fuses presumably turn out to be cheaper than the settlements they'd otherwise be paying.

They're mentioned right there in the article this is nominally meant to be a discussion thread about.

The right accuse the BBC of bias because they fact-check them when they lie.

These things are not equivalent.

The BBC has lost a lot of credibility over the last decade or so. I can completely understand why they rolled over (often pre-emptively) to placate a Tory government that talked a lot about defunding them, but ultimately it has not served them well.

The newspaper situation in the UK is diabolical for sure.

Developers had started to abandon the Mac OS platform - or at least start making Windows versions of previously Mac-only software - and getting developer confidence back was one of the key things that kept the company alive to grow into the consumer electronics manufacturer that it is today.

So it looks like they'll list anyone who pays the fee, making the whole exercise a waste of time.

I set a shell alias so I can just do `airport -s`. I've no idea why this is hidden away inside some framework and not in a directory which is in the normal path, but there you go.

Apple just charge a lot of money for upgrades, even did when it was trivial to do them yourself, and they're not going to change once they made it impossible to do any kind of internal upgrade.

It's not unusual for a startup to not be profitable, and they're obviously not as the company doesn't make a profit, but I'm not sure why isolating one aspect of their business and declaring it profitable would justify the idea that this company is inevitably a good investment "even if the company went defunct tomorrow".

Perhaps you meant "win" in the sense of "being influential" or something, but I'm pretty sure the people who invested billions of dollars use definitions that involve more concrete returns on their investment.

Will people love ChatGPT et al just as much if OpenAI have to charge what it costs them to buy and run all the GPUs? Maybe, but it's absolutely not certain.

If they "went defunct" tomorrow then the people who just invested US$6bn and lost every penny probably would not agree with your assessment that it "ended well".

I'm sure there's more thorough ways to do this kind of testing, but whatever level of confirmation you need automating it should be viable and then you only have to pay attention if/when something breaks.

In the UK at least, passing one of these off as a standard repair is illegal (it's a 'radically altered vehicle' and would need to be registered as such with a special licence plate).
