Same thing that happens if a brake line pops, steering wheel locks up, or the throttle gets jammed open. There are ways of designing redundancies into those systems. Multiple communication channels, reserve sources of power. A lot of new model vehicles already have this stuff, drive by wire for example has pretty much been the standard for twenty years now. Typically, the entire system doesn't go down because they're designed for that not to happen.

But I'll take my mechanical overrides.

It depends on the utility company. Some are better than others.

The grid is a utility. They weren't originally built with the idea of customers sending power back at a small scale. So it's tricky to maintain power fluctuations when you have all these extra data points. Plus considerations for the quality of consumer hardware. So naturally companies would prefer to have solar installations at scale as opposed to by residential basis.

Wow that thing they probably should've been doing in the first place. I'll be curious if it'll end up as a supervisor (AI) model or if each program will have its own scope of a file system. The latter of course will be very tricky with how intertwined legacy software can be for file and registry access.

Yea, making sure legacy apps keep working is the hard part especially when they have million+ unit customers that have issues around it.

Not so much snow, as you have rapidly changing road conditions such as ice and freezing rain. And then factor in poor road markings and not always abundantly clear path finding.

The nice thing about EVs like they're using now. The electric motors are pretty good at responding and handling different road conditions, much faster than ICE vehicles since you can never quite predict what the engine is doing at a given moment.

Yeah animated mouse wheel zoom will do it. And as a bonus "Photos" takes a lot longer to load. And what's this? "Edit an image using AI". Yeah, the pop ups.

Unfortunately you have to patch in photo viewer in order to use it out of box.

> contemplating a 32 or 43

Definitely a 32. 43 is a bit much.

Edit: Unless you're an office manager and plan on watching football most of the day.

Same here, 32". I'm using a swiveling TV wall mount also, it really frees up a lot of space under the monitor.

We have direct access to people's visual cortex and audio processing with handsets. Folks are receiving a stream of data tailored specifically to their life and experiences. It's pretty direct while still being indirect.

A simple example in legacy media is with Coca Cola. The ads show good experiences and attempt to anchor those emotions to real life events, and then the tag line Enjoy. So your enjoyment is tagged with having a Coke. Relatively straight forward.

These days, and this is still an emerging technology. Ads can be built and constructed on a per user basis. So rather than generalizing, you can synthetically anchor ideas onto individual real life emotions. And then at the right time have the systems massage in the idea of compulsively making a purchase. So while not strictly black and white spinning spiral. It's more interception at a particularly vulnerable moment. At least in my observations.

From what I can tell it's using a neural network to derive an image from the interference patterns of light.

I imagine you could do this using a standard computational model, it would just be very intensive. So I guess it would be 'enhanced' in the same way a JPEG stores an image in a lossy format.

My question was more about what it was that records the patterns of light.

The nature article shows some sort of cmos like sensor with a surface made of pegs which seem to be conveniently close in size to the wavelengths of visible light. That passes through some sort of meta optic which presumably measures the diffraction off the sensor surface. Both sensor and "meta optic" data combined and extrapolated to form an image.

It's quite a clever way of designing a "lens" like that. Because you can generate an image from practically a flat surface. Of course the output image is "calculated" instead of just bending light through a series of glass lenses.

I mean. If you find a way of harnessing enough energy.

We've always had this sort of stuff. Back in the 70s you had cameras the size of lighters. There's solutions for anyone determined enough. Even with authoritarian states, you'll find counter measures with sufficient demand. It's reed in the wind shit. Hopefully we won't kill ourselves in the process.
