Incredible book. Takes a chapter or two to get used to the writing style (2d person present tense if I recall).
Correction: 3rd person. Somehow the present tense throws a different reading rhythm that you have to get into first.

I watched it solely because he was in it. Awesome movie.
he worked to build a music player called the Synapse Media Player. The device used machine learning to learn the user's listening habits
Oh, so then he did already establish what superintelligence is.
(I miss original Pandora)
In some cars ( don't know if it applies to all with modern systems) you can have enough amps in the battery to move the starter relay, making the clicking sound, but not enough to fully engage or turn the starter. Also in my past experience I had one car (VW Beetle) where over long driving the heat would cause the replay to get "gummy", so it would stick enough to prevent it from moving. An old trick there was to short the terminals to free it. I wouldn't recommend that on a new car though, too many electronics that can get damaged.
I would investigate the battery and its connections first. Make sure it's a good battery still, that everything from the terminals to the starter AND alternator are good. An alternator charging problem can lead to a battery that is slowly not getting a full charge and eventually dying, even if it's not old. But until you get it to turn over, it's one of these parts of the starting system, it's not too complex.
We've become less of both, free and safe. I don't see this helping either of those. Btw, I just learned that the Ben Franklin quote of liberty or safety is actually out of context and was concerning a specific situation in Pennsylvania. The general idea was, don't take away our freedom in the name of safety, give us the freedom and ability to make ourselves safe. I see these drones as an arms race to let the police do what they want to do without being in danger themselves. Oh, the kids? Well, sorry about that, shooting people is all the police are trained on.
There went my theory. It was a bump, and then a flat tire.
"I hate Discovery."
"This isn't the Star Trek show."
"Oh... never mind."
Hey, are we going to get the original Discovery channel back? Or any of the good ones from old cable? No? Oh well...
Should have retroed Clippy. They probably would have got a few percent bump just from nostalgia.
Some people are concerned about the way the question is worded, but assuming you got a legit PC that is free to use as you wish, you should be able to do a full wipe of the drive wit a new install of Linux and be fine, since the Windows part will be gone. Data could still be there unless you rewrite over with random data (some partitioners with installers offer to do that, but it takes a while). As for which Linux, it depends on how old and the hardware capability. You might need to use one of the "light" versions that is designed for older hardware and less memory. But just about anything is doable to some degree. A few years ago I put a Lubuntu version on an old Netbook with very limited hard drive space and processing power, and it runs fine for basic applications. Not going to be doing power number crunching or gaming on it, but that's fine.
As far as how, the basic idea these days is to create a USB flash drive with an installer on it for the Linux version you want, and boot up to run that USB instead of the drive. Then just follow the instructions. Maybe before that look up some videos on a few examples, but it's no harder than if you installed Windows on a drive for the first time.
Would anything be able to stay and do anything if the whole partition is rewritten? The one thing I'd be suspicious of depending on where it came from is the BIOS level, but even that can be flashed to a stock version, if you know the original board manufacturer.
It's been worse and worse over time for whatever reasons, but the AI summary at the top now can be way off. I had a result the other day where a quick glance (all that I give it as I scroll down to any results) I laughed because I could tell it was totally wrong, and couldn't even figure out where it got that result from. It wasn't in the results I found.
Some jobs have been lost to to changing to AI. Not because the AI was the better choice, but because it was seen as a short term profit (cheap AI, less labor costs). Other places have moved in AI more gradual, like in requiring it as part of work, and that can be easier to pull back once it fails because the people aren't gone.
The growth of LLMs started as research, but marketing got involved and that's why it's everywhere now, making promises that LLMs can't fulfill (mainly because everyone ran with the "AI" label, when it's not).
