Also from this fine media establishment:

• Warning: 73% of garden soil contains hidden drain chemicals affecting families for 18 months
• I tried this 2-ingredient summer mask at 53 and my dark spots faded 70% in 3 weeks (dermatologists explain why)
• Cold plunge warning: this 15-second exposure raises senior blood pressure by 40 mmHg

Also, for a writer named “John,” he seems to really like wearing women’s clothing

And I don’t know where he finds the time to get dressed considering he’s written 18 articles so far today some in just 14 minutes.

If I remember from my USB product design days, as long as they don’t include any of the official markings on the product or packaging, they’re in the clear.

many book scanners use a wedge shape and two angled cameras to scan the pages when the book is held open at about a 5 degree angle

Very well executed, though not sure how I feel about the glass plate squishing the pages down like that.

Mckinsey is a company with over 45,000 employees.

Migrated a server to a new drive by copying all the files with rsync and chrooting into it. Nothing too impressive from a linux standpoint, but I had no idea that was possible until I tried it.

The issue is not going up, it’s going over. If we only cared about the private sector getting people into space, that happened on a fully reusable vehicle twenty years ago.

The problem is getting things to stay in space. Not trying to Elon-stan here, but getting a rocket into orbit is many fold more difficult than just getting into space.

My point is that I think people are giving this project way to much credit. If they were basing it off a phone, it would be trivial to apply some textures to an existing photo or something. Hell, the specs say it has a “5000mAh long life camera” whatever the hell that means. None of it is real.

The fact that it resembles any real phone is sheer coincidence. Especially considering they don’t list a processor, just numbers that anybody can make up.

The ol’ George Mallory defense.

the T1 closely resembles the T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G

No it fucking doesn’t. Will people please stop spreading this.

The phone is just a shit photoshop job. All three cameras depicted are identical down to the pixel. Here’s one camera overlaid on another with a difference filter:

The lighting in the “render” doesn’t even make sense.

The shadows imply that the camera “bump” is actually recessed since the shadows are along the top edge. Also where are the side buttons on the reverse?

In another documentary about a seal that is starving to death:

“Hell yeah! Get that crab baybeee”

cosmetically tweaked

It would have to be super tweaked considering the phone you referenced has four cameras, and a notch style front camera.

My bet is that this is a 10 second photoshop job and the actual phone will look nothing like that.

I mean if you do a difference blend of two of the cameras, you get a perfectly black circle (minus some blending at the edges):

.

This means that the cameras are exact pixel-perfect copies of each other arranged in that order by photoshop. They don’t exist on any phone.

Love seeing that leash in a public park!

There were so many issues

• Final boss was lame and level leading to it was slow and tedious completely killing the momentum
• Camera system was wonky
• Rocket nozzle barely got any play
• Jet nozzle was too difficult to control to be useful outside of specific racing segments
• Pachinko machine physics were fucked
• The lily pad level was unfairly difficult
• There was no way to track which blue coins you found. Like even a grey coin marker for already collected coins would have been super helpful.
• The reward for getting blue coins was pathetic
• Yoshi was criminally underutilized. The whole juice mechanic was used like twice.

The whole thing just felt rushed. Like there was another third of the game that they didn’t get to make.

Super Mario Sunshine. I thought it was just hard as a kid. Come to learn it’s fucking broken.

In an attempt to answer your question, there tends to be a lot of misinformation following events like this. Often footage doesn’t even need to be AI or altered, it can just be footage from other events that looks similar that’s posted in good faith by people trying to spread the news. I assure you some of the clips flying around at the moment are from the George Floyd protests, or even a sports hooligan riot, or from events that didn’t even occur in this country.

At least in theory (and theory is doing a lot of heavy lifting with my attempt at answering your question), a news publication has an obligation to in some way determine the veracity of what they’re publishing.

eventually

It’s been ten fucking years. They are one of the top five companies in the world. What are we waiting for here?

All of the investors that originally paid into the idea have already made their money. There is no reason to continue the project.

Even as pitched, you still have to print out a QR code and staple it to your front lawn for every package. Presumably, they want you to be home for it since it’s dropped out in the open and might bounce into the street.

Amazon announced using drones in 2014. In pop culture, drone delivery is like an assumed common practice. Yet fucking nobody gets their packages delivered by drone. It’s been over a decade.

These robots are vaporware. Amazon will get a stock bump and that’s the whole point.
