Yes, I worry we're entering the exponential curve, with the new effort to put ten commandments in schools
Perhaps the better metaphor would he cilantro. Which to some people tastes like soap. Though sometimes I wonder if I also think it tastes a bit like soap, and maybe I'm just less picky
Ban This Book by Alan Gratz banned in Indian River county after opposition from parents linked to Moms for Liberty
I could definitely see that. Their obsession with the idea that kids are being 'groomed' to be gay suggests they think it's a choice. Makes one wonder if they are dealing with internalized uncertainty and cognitive dissonance about their personal choice
I think people need to start being educated about how their climate influences how they can use the electric car. Many people know if they live by the sea or where roads are salted that corrosion is an issue. But people might not be aware that with some EVs, they should leave it plugged in if they're in an extreme climate, so the car can air condition or heat the battery. I caused some battery degradation to my Volt because I wasn't able to leave it plugged in living in Tucson.
The idea of holding developers of open source models responsible for the activities of forks is a terrible precedent
I actually already own those! From a previous Samsung sale when they let me trade in some random wired cheap headphones for a huge discount haha
Good tip! I just pulled the trigger as it is indeed a very good deal, seemed better than anything they'd have for holiday sales! Was able to stack employee rewards and some other offers to get the 1 tb model for 887 plus tax!
Researchers evaluated vascular samples from more than 200 mummies, presenting their findings in European Heart Journal.
Thunderbird has been thriving since it was spun out as a semi independent organization. Lots of new features and a whole new UI. This sounds like they're moving to a similar model for the browser and it sounds like great news to me. Hopefully we see nimbler decision making. Shouldn't have taken 3-4 years to make a tablet UI for Android and open up Android add ons
I thought the new Fold has the S pen?
I also remain on my note 20 ultra, though I may trade it in when I lose updates later this year. I'm currently leaning towards S22 ultra. Considering foldables but hear so much bad user feedback on reliability, and I also love telephoto pics so I think the S22 is the clear superior choice
I don't know about hardware, but they marketed that you'd be able to interact with an AI that would use your apps for you, via what they called a Large Action Model. None of those apps currently work, because they all are likely getting defeated up front by Captchas and other roadblocks companies put up to stop automated usage of their services.
This isn't just personal sites. Large blogs (Gawker), whole news sites (Vice), and other content no longer exist, because cynical corporate parasites bought them out. Newspapers that exist from before the internet era are arguably better archived on microfilm, Google Books etc, than today's news. The Internet Archive and other sites exist, but they are nonprofit and can't keep up with the sheer scale of content being pulled down. Also strongly disagree with your assertion that some sites don't need to be saved. The whole point of archiving is that we often can't judge what is important to future generations
Gemini soon to be rebranded Allo Assistant All Access Chat
The internet never forgets. Except, y'know, when it does.
Well I would like the option to use it as a simple media control. It only has 500 mb RAM so it's not going to do well with a lot of local media playback
yes, I find Gemini actually not bad when it comes to my specific use case of showing generic examples for R programming, so I can figure out the syntax for my actual code. I don't try to have it generate actual code for me because my topic of marine biogeochemistry is far too specific for it to have any idea how to work with it. Unlike ChatGPT, which often makes up nonsense functions or hallucinates whole packages, Gemini seems to do ok. I also found it pretty good for generating images of natural subjects. It did the best job of generating a pic of a giant clam of any image generator I've tried. I would never trust factual information from Gemini. So like Google+, it's a pretty good product that in no way should be shunted into search results, Google Docs and other places where its output is not relevant, yet that is exactly the trap Google is falling into again.
Google's cutting-edge AI technology has a familiar connection to the past — and in this case, that isn't a good thing.
The headline appears among messages flashing across the screen such as “Trump wins!!” and “Economy booms!” Other headlines appear to be references to World War I.

A California man who was ordered to keep his boat out of sight has had the last laugh, by commissioning an artist to paint a realistic image of it on the fence that obscures it.
I used to like Shaq, but he's been involved in promoting a lot of seriously sketchy stuff. He will put his name on literally anything if they pay him enough. Few celebrities put their name on more stupid scummy crypto bullshit. He lost my respect with that. I bet he had a financial relationship with Univ of Phoenix
