I read that as "he is being prepared for the coroner"

Forget about the AI. There is so much wrong with this.

  1. If it gets it wrong, either false positive or false negative, then there are serious consequences. This means there is no way it can "play it safe" with an answer.
  2. I don't trust that it's not capturing and storing data. The risk of a "highly personal" data being leaked is completely unwarranted.
  3. It works from a photo, therefore it's unlikely to pick up much more than you can see by eye. You'd be better off just learning what to look for.
  4. It won't detect STIs with no visual symptoms, so provides an entirely false sense of confidence, potentially increasing the risks of those STIs to the general population.
  5. Let's say it works perfectly, and the AI algorithm runs completely locally with no data being transferred to the cloud or being captured/stored. Do you want to have someone you don't trust about being honest about STIs taking a photo of your genitals?

That's what I can come up with in 10 seconds. Feel free to add to the list, I'm sure it's not complete...

There's also work showing sheep can maintain the grass under the panels while the solar panels providing shade.

I still think over carparks or rooftops is better, but it shouldn't detract from using farmland. We need to phase out fossil fuels as fast as possible.

Bobby's mum and dad decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their 10-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony and order him to report on all the neighbourhood activities.

The boy began his commentary as his parents put their plan into action.

"There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he said. "An ambulance just drove by." A few moments passed.

"Looks like the Anderson's have company," he called out. "Matt`s riding a new bike, and the Coopers are having sex."

Mom and dad shot up in bed. "How do you know that?" the startled father asked.

"Their kid is standing out on the balcony too," his son replied.

How does that work out in terms of energy consumption though?

If NVMe is at least 10x faster, but consumes 5x more power, it will use less energy to read or write the same amount of data overall.

What you are looking for is a handy man, you used to find them in the yellow pages, but try your favourite search provider?

My search came up with task rabbit uk as the first sponsored result...

Is it just me that gets triggered by these US companies which exist only to be an IT based middle man? Like mini cabs existed before Uber, but everyone acts like they never knew these things existed?

Agreed about the data farming, but I would recommend reading this if you haven't already. Not properly implementing the conventions is basically step 1 in that article.

I actively avoid Cadburys after Kraft took it over More Info. Wouldn't say it's a full boycott, because I do have a Crunchie every now and again (when Cadburys is the only thing on discount), but it has been more than 10 years now.

Thing is I just bought a box of miniture heroes and I'd say the chocolate has gone seriously downhill since I stopped buying it. Wondering if its just my taste that's changed or if anyone else agrees?
