The self serve terminals and apps actually work well. I prefer using them over ordering at the counter.
So ya I am surprised they rolled this out so poorly.

Natural language is really messy… Could go through many variants on things. Then you get text to speech issues due to audio quality / accents… And you need an engine that can “best guess / best match” based on what it has or ask for clarification.
Similarly you can ask for TWO of a complex thing: I would like Two… meals, with, XXXX
An LLM can somewhat smooth over variances in language without having to have all possible variances known just the valid options and the raw input.
Mc Donald’s already has customer self serve kiosks and mobile apps with the full menu that limit you as to which items you can add or remove.
How did they screw this up and leave things open ended for the LLM?
IE why was the LLM not referencing a list of valid options with every request and then replying with what the possible options are. This is something LLMs are actually able to do fairly well, then layer on top the EXACT same HARD constraints they already have on the kiosk and mobile app to ensure orders are valid?
To be used in most recycling programs you would need to fully remove the foil lid, and rinse out every k-cup before depositing them in recycling.
piped… for privacy… O wait you need to log in first.
A qualified professional should have asked if he had strata approval as it is common to summit the plans for approval before beginning work. The town house I last lived in allowed centra air units but because they would essentially always end up RIGHT BELOW the bedroom windows of the adjacent unit they had restrictions on placement and the noise rating of the units.
This is fairly reasonable as some of the compressor units can be very loud, can you imagine sleeping with your windows open and then some loud AC unit kicks in all night keeping you up because you live so close to the unit that just installed one.
The corporation said the heat pump contravened a bylaw that requires owners to get approval from the strata before altering common property and another bylaw banning air conditioning devices.
I lived in a town house and added central air… I had to summit the install plan from the installer and the noise db rating of the unit I was installing for approval. It was approved then I proceeded.
Sorry in this case the owner screwed up TWICE.
McDonald’s Angus Burger , only burger they sold for several years that didn’t taste like cardboard.
What version of windows and what mouse and keyboard. 99% of them work out of the box and the drivers only add extra functions if there are special features.
neo is the ONLY company doing swap stations, and that is how they work… I also described current, available EVs with available chargers.
And how many years do they support a specific release before making you upgrade.
Looks like MySQL standard releases are one year and LTS releases are 5 or up to 8 with extended support.
So somewhat similar to Microsoft
An EV6 on an capable fast charger can do 10% to 80% in 17 min
They need to make the swap faster / higher throughput or charging is still going to make more sense .
Or
Install 4-6 high speed chargers in the same spot and clear more cars faster .
Essentially the swap station is only better if you arrive without a lineup. The swap takes 7-10min and is manned. If you are one or two cars deep waiting you are better to have just found a charger
All software eventually gets deprecated / unsupported, including free open source projects.
I think the update cycle on MySQL and Mongo is more aggressive than MS SQL.
The only difference is you pay for MS SQL.
Lemmy is public, no one is going to want to use it for discussion of those topics.
Cost of living has skyrocketed, wages have hardly budged, and people are really, really struggling.
True… However it does appear to be slowing a bit for both the US and Canada
People’s standards of living are decreasing
Famines are already being massively exacerbated by climate change, you just don’t hear about them because they’re happening in poor countries.

There is far less poverty in the world today than in the past.
Everything points to all our previous warnings about climate change being incredibly conservative.
Probably true, but we also appear to be on the edge of a massive move away from fossil fuels to renewables with the cost of solar dropping, grid level battery systems replacing old coal / natural gas peaker plants etc and the move is no longer just about the “environment” these technologies are in some ways superior or cheaper as well which will accelerate adoption
Only thing that is worse in my mind is the “media” no longer news and “social media” both are largely negative and both are full of misinformation these days.
Housing costs may also be a negative…
Other than that MOST things seem better, we just can’t enjoy anything since the media/social media keeps telling us what we should fear and hate.
For years we invested in better microphones and noise canceling to CLEARLY hear the closest / primary speaker and remove all other noise and distractions.
Now introducing, car noise. Get immerses with the kids fighting in the back seat in surround sound…
No important conference call is complete without you providing your weekly update while your dog licks his balls on the way to the vet for everyone to hear.
You do know that nearly all fuel cell vehicles also use lithium and a battery pack, as well the fuel cell it self uses a number of rare earth metals.
