Rubbish. If my phone isn't so thin that it can double as a knife, it's not worth buying.

He's probably tried to excise someone from the mortal coil/plane once or twice, does that count?

Unfortunately, I doubt it. Chrome made it as big as it did because it had one of the biggest tech and advertising companies in the world behind it. Other than Microsoft with building in Internet Explorer into Windows, thereor Apple doing that with Safari, isn't anything else that could compete as easily, and we all how that went for Microsoft.

And it would only be harder today, since they'd not only have go contend with Chrome, but also that a lot of websites are being built around Chrome/browsers using the Chromium engine. People would go to a website that either refuses to work, or doesn't work properly for their browser and hop over to Chrome instead.

Netflix requires specific DRM addons that are really only available for the major browser engines, as an example. If someone is rolling their own, like KDE does, then that's going to refuse to work outright.

Is there a cheesy black market?

There is, like there is for olive oil, or maple syrup. Especially if it's authentic. Olive Oil infamously has multiple fakes floating about, where it's something else passed off as olive oil.

If they didn't already exist, it's doubtful they would have been legal to make.

It's not bad, just mostly redundant these days, as the heuristic features are no longer enabled, and the defaults ublock lists will cover a lot of the same.

I was moving the NBN modem, and think that I might have bought too long a cable.

Turns out 10m is a lot of cable.

Plus it works a treat if your normal shoe horn is far too heavy.

How so?

They're using it in a way that it was designed for (creating little virtual mirrors of real displays/data to reference) when performing surgery.

It might not have been what Apple intended it for, but it's hardly the end of the world like "surgeon peforms surgery according to LLM" would be.

It might benefit the surgeons and patients, if it helps reduce fatigue, mistakes, and/or miscommunication, like the article suggests.

It doesn't help that people don't tend to clean their phones like they do their toilet, but will take their phone into the water closet anyhow.

Who cancels that without already moving to another ISP?

In fairness, there are people who renounce their citizenship without first ensuring that they have another citizenship elsewhere. Then they get stuck in limbo because they're now stateless, and no-one knows where they're supposed to go.

Plus it's still an improvement over the alternative.

The problem with that argument is that it falls into the Last Thursdayist problem.

It could just as well be argued that the lead was created instantly in that state, or mid-decay.

Got bored and looked it up, and there aren't, surprisingly. At least not in the 2019 revision of the Major League Baseball rules. But they do define what a ball is, and isn't, and a baby is not considered a valid ball (3.01).

But at least according to Rule 5.01(c)(1), if part of the baby gets on the batter, they might be considered "hit by pitch", and therefore eligible to advance to first base. (It would be considered a 'dead' ball, which is funny, given the context.)

The rules aren't written expecting the ball to break into bits upon impact, so it'd depend on it actually happening to get precedent.

But at least going by 4.01(a,e), it's the umpire's fault for providing an invalid "ball", and they might have to clean up, since they're tasked with replacing the "ball" if damaged.

The baby is hardly going to make it out of the stadium if it splashes on impact.

Eigth implied fact: The baby is durable enough to be hit by a baseball bat hard enough to fling it out of the stadium, and remain in one piece.

Matplotlib is a fairly popular one, but it depends on what it is you want to do with the data.

So far, I've only found it really useful for two things. One is generating text, where I've found using an LLM to generate a title based on a given piece of text is more effective than using other summarisation models, especially for a short piece of text.

I've also found it okay for basic, generic scripts, like trying to figure out what the equivalent Powershell commands for a bash script would be to do something quick, rather than try and learn it from scratch.

They might even use a second finger!

There are many reasons for a pregnancy to be terminated, and not all of them are for fun, or because of casual sex. Maybe the child has defects incompatible with life, or the mother is not capable of carrying to term, and attempting to do so will kill them both.

People don't tend to go "oh, it's a nice Sunday today. I think I'll pop by the abortion clinic."
