the subscription feed still and always has completely bypasses Youtube’s recommended brainrot anyway

Though they are messing with that too, on mobile there is a "Most Relevant" section on top. Though thankfully they are videos from your subs.
...for now.

Interestingly in the US it isn't, gold is measured in Karat (k/Kt), and Carat (ct) is the unit of weight.

1 Karat is 1/24th gold, 1 Carat is 200 milligrams.

Us sharing a 1000+ km long border with russia might have something to do with that.

And even then, military service isn't actually required, you can do a siviilipalvelus (lit. "Civilian service") instead.

Ah, but there's the third option, just outlaw contraception and abortions. Capitalism is only incompatible with kids if you give your slaves the ability to choose if and when to have them.

Annoyingly many artists still use it, and for some it's their only platform they post at any regularity, except for paid posts on patreon. I haven't used Twitter as a social media site for almost a decade now, but my "twitter only" art list still has 18 people on it.

Major version numbers are used when stuff changes, and especially when shit breaks. Can the latest OS X 10 run the same software and on the same hardware as the first OS X 10? If not, increase the major number.

That jump at least had a reason, as a bunch of older software checked if they were running on windows 95 or 98 by checking for "windows 9".
And what it actually feels like is the jump from windows 3.1 to 95. Because it's literally the same one.

Win 10 and 11 do also use something like this, though it's more hidden as it's the update numbers - they were yearmonth (1507, 1709) and are now yearhalfofyear - 20H1, 21H2.

Making up answers is kinda their entire purpose. LMMs are fundamentally just a text generation algorithm, they are designed to produce text that looks like it could have been written by a human. Which they are amazing at, especially when you start taking into account how many paragraphs of instructions you can give them, and they tend to rather successfully follow.

The one thing they can't do is verify if what they are talking about is true as it's all just slapping words together using probabilities. If they could, they would stop being LLMs and start being AGIs.

That figure is entirely irrelevant when you need to target users who are willing to try a new unknown third party browser in the first place.
And you'll find orders of magnitude more of those among Linux users than you do on Mac, which is where Arc launched on.

It is. And has always been. "Artificial Intelligence" doesn't mean a feeling thinking robot person (that would fall under AGI or artificial conciousness), it's a vast field of research in computer science with many, many things under it.

"It's part of the history of the field of artificial intelligence that every time somebody figured out how to make a computer do something—play good checkers, solve simple but relatively informal problems—there was a chorus of critics to say, 'that's not thinking'." -Pamela McCorduck´.
It's called the AI Effect.

As Larry Tesler puts it, "AI is whatever hasn't been done yet.".

adding a query parameter udm=14 to the url of your Google searches

It's also the same as selecting "Web" from the bar that has images, video, maps etc.

The current ad-supported basic Kindle is $109 USD, which is just $12 more expensive than it was back in 2012, adjusted for inflation (it was $70 in 2012, which would be $97 today).
It could be cheaper today, but Amazon has clearly pulled back from selling them at a loss hoping to get the costs back from ebook sales.

By claiming that she isn't actually a woman, and therefore shouldn't be fighting other women.

Any symbol they would have chosen would have ended up as the Nazi symbol. Just like the name Hitler or that specific mustache style.

But the swastika specifically ending as the symbol you can mostly thank to Heinrich Schliemann and Émile-Louis Burnouf finding swastika adorned pottery at a Troy excavation in the 1870's, and declaring them to be the ancient symbols of the Aryans. https://humanjourney.us/language/external-symbols/swastika-the-hidden-power-of-a-symbol/

They fold to the rear. So apparently they are - at least supposed to be - durable enough.

Phone cameras have very good IR filters. They aren't perfect which is why they can still see the LEDs, but they aren't anywhere near as bright.

I have an old RasPi camera with the IR filter removed, a remote control looks like someone used an old-school camera flash in pitch darkness. Which is how you can control your TV sometimes even from the next room over - especially at night with no ir from the sun - shine the remote at the wall, and the wall blinks bright enough for the TV to see it, often even after a few reflections.

And the opponents wait for 2 seconds after finishing their attacks. Soulslikes are all about learning the patterns and finding the opportunities to hit between dodges, not about mindlessly hack-n-slashing your way to victory.

And different weapons work for different people, I have some I'm absolutely useless with because I just can't work with their movesets.

It is a month old account with 275 posts, quickly scrolling all of them are news. Not sure where they post them, but that is still quite a few per day.
