And the ~~algorithm~~ AI does magic to make our product more awesome than the competitor.

Yeah, the lack of formal definition of what is and is not considered ai definitely muddies the waters when talking about applications and capabilities.

4 times in the last 5 years.

There's a combination of flaws. The strainer basket doesn't do a very good job keeping debris out of the impeller. There's little separation between the steainer and the impeller. So long hairs that are partially caught in the strainer can still wrap around the impeller.

The pump itself has a terrible impeller design. The impeller is nylon and is press fit onto a 1/8 brass rod that just has a flat ground on it, no knurling or splines. The nylon cracks easily and ends up free spinning.

They use the same pump in loads of washer models. So yes, there's a very large user base, but that's a lot of people with part failures. The pump is garbage and lg should not be using it.

I'm constantly replacing the drain pump in my LG washer. When a replacement part has thousands of reviews on amazon, you know the brand has to know their parts are crap and either doesn't care or wanted it that way. They're on my never buy list now.

Ai is already being incorporated into chip design tools like synopsys. TechTechPotato has an interesting interview with Aart de Geus that is relevant.

Ai is far off from making high level design improvements, but it can greatly reduce the workload on trace and route and other design steps.

The terrible state of online play ruined everything nintendo for me.

It definitely has aspects that could be considered magic, but I wouldn't necessarily compare them to the Force.

My sister got a stand up desk and an under desk treadmill. She has issues with blood pooling so frequent movement is a must. She says it also helps her maintain concentration.

Maybe for someone with a specific baking recipe in mind? One of the egg noodle recipes I like calls for about as many extra yolks as whole eggs. So I could probably just use these without waste or having to make a separate recipe to use up the whites. I've never seen this at stores near me either in the US.

Yeah, "vegetable medley" from a school cafeteria is a special kind of disgusting. Even restaurants will serve gross canned green beans or bland boiled veggies. If you don't learn to cook for yourself it's easy to never learn that veggies can actually taste good and don't have to be treated as a necessary evil.

I vaguely remember that being a thing for early commercial 8k projectors, but I don't know anything about the implementation.

We should stop putting anything about MTG in the limelight.

So you just need 3 4090's with 1 displayport each to the monitor and a whole new version of sli.
