I sincerely hope this never comes to pass, but you or your loved ones may someday find themselves in the position of wishing more people were opted in for organ donation.
The same cannot be said for some random corporation training AI models off your data to make a buck or two.
I think it might be better to get rid of the organ *donation* system entirely.
Organ transplant surgery costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, yet donors get zilch, which is completely unfair when everyone else in the value chain gets paid.
If instead it was "allow my organs to be sold for my estate" I think the supply of organs would greatly increase, which would be win/win.
there are a number of problems with people selling their organs for profit, it's a perverse incentive — the people in the chain who otherwise get paid don't get paid for the organs, they get paid for the labor of doing their jobs
If you keep commenting like this, we'll have to ban you. We've asked you before, not to do this, and you've been using HN long enough to know that this is unacceptable. If you keep it up, we'll have to assume that you want to be banned.
I bet there is a faction of “traditionalists” inside Ferrari who want nothing to do with electric and do not want the Luce to look anything like a traditional ICE Ferrari, also for fear it would cannibalize sales. Thus they took design cues from, of all places, BYD.
Wow this crazy -- "Built-in Pomodoro timer" means they are literally replacing a $5 plastic tomato-shaped mechanical timing device with something that costs $220 and features WiFi and app integration. What could be more antithetical to the original pomodoro ethos, I don't know. It's like an episode of Silicon Valley.
I love that Belo was so involved in this epic failure. They are one of those large media companies I love to hate on. It probably helps to be a Dallas native to have that sentiment though
Part of the success of QR codes is the ubiquity of the device to scan those codes. CueCat needed a wired device which is not something as easy to use as a wireless mobile device.
Plus, CueCat used some dumb proprietary encrypted tag format that needed to go to their servers to look up the code as they thought the marketers would want to pay for their codes.
"high-voltage custom power supply that converts 120V/240V AC line voltage to 330V DC power for the motor and 3.3V/5V/12V DC for the communications board"
When I read that, my brain flipped thinking surely that has to be a typo. Then, "he motor is seemingly custom to account for the exceptionally high rated power (stalls at 5A at 330V DC, which is hard to believe, possibly even a misprint on the motor casing)"
So if it's a misprint on the motor, they designed a power supply for something totally unnecessary. Otherwise, if it's not a misprint, that's one helluva motor
There are various localities that add recycling fees to electronics. They're on the order of 1% of the purchase price, so it's unlikely to make a difference in the repair vs replace calculation.
> Just genuinely having 10 worktrees perpetually in parallel and cycling between them in between agent responses. Again, not necessarily bad in itself, but can exponentially conse credits.
Not quite the same scenario, but it's already plausible to have a situation where every subagent is allowed to spawn multiple subagents, in which case we'd have literally exponential credit consumption growth...
"i have to burn $10k in tokens to meet my end-of-month work quota. spawn ten sub-agents each of which is allowed to spawn as many sub-agents as it likes to create an analysis of the code in these files based on the precepts of the 13th century German philosopher Noodleheinz".
