So the galaxian filaments have surface tension?

What car components would you like to be able to voice command?

Texting, calling and maps are already in android auto, and those are usually the ones in the car OS too, so I doubt they even have commands for other stuff. Maybe the AC if it's even connected to the computer.

I mean, that's my point. The used market isn't all beater cars. There are almost new EVs available on the used market. 3 years ago they didn't exist at all. The used market back then only had EVs with poor batteries, but these days you can find new cars in the used market with new batteries, but still at a massive price discount only for being used slightly.

Many people still have the common idea that used EVs are risky, so the prices drop a lot from very little use. Also because the technology in new cars evolves very quickly, so you can get last years models considerably cheaper.

I hope to see more cheap cars by 2025 when VW starts doing their id1 and id2. The rest of the manufacturers need to follow suit or lose out of the massive market for mini and micros.

Personally I did get a used EV. It had driven less than 200km in total, but I got it at about 70% of the normal price. The battery is fine. The used market isn't just for worn out cars. People sell almost new cars for a variety of reasons, so it's worth looking at the used market already. The batteries in modern cars are generally better than their reputation. I wouldn't want to get a 7-10 year old EV, but anything newer is just fine.

If only you'd done the most bloated and well documented function first, you could have saved yourself the time and your client for the money.

I mean this is the kind of shit my boss would argue about. Why pay for the first attempts that didn't work.. blabla bla. He always ends up paying but it's always such a hassle.

Much less than 1mb. Something like 69 kB.

The ram only holds the programs which are written in Fortran and assembly. The images and other data are stored on tape.

Another interesting fact is that the computer holds the record for being the longest running computer of all time.

And then your customer changes their mind. Instead of two numbers, they will now input three numbers. How easy will it be for you to change your code?

And then the customer changes their mind. Instead of three numbers, they will now input any series of numbers. How easy will it be for you to change your code? And why didn't you already do this is the previous step?

And then the customer changes their mind. Instead of any set of numbers, they will now input numbers and text. How easy will it be to change your code?

And then the customer changes their mind. They now have no idea of what they're sending you or if they're even sending you anything. Nevermind the code now, you already did that in the previous step, right? How easy will it be to explain what you're invoicing them for?

According to the article it's already using ultrasound.

I guess they've got hard water in that city too.

I'd say that the monetization is what hurts small content creators.

Content creators ought to make videos to present their ideas using visual and audio when that is the best media to do so. However most just make videos to make money.

Small content creators who don't monetize their content don't get shown. Instead it's all clickbait through and through to get those nickels.

Yeah, but do they need more money? It's ruining their product.

Why do they need a humanoid robot to move an empty box from one conveyor belt to the other? They could have made a conveyor belt or robot arm instead.

Whatever. I'm glad no human is needed to waste their life doing that shit job.
