I switched to DDG recently after realising how much worse Google is for giving good results. After doing so on a trial basis, I'm now switching on all my devices as it's just overall a better search experience for me. (Even if DDG is just Bing.)
LLM and AI gives regular people a lot of crazy power and creative ability that can challenge current power dynamics.
My view is opposite in that LLM and AI will further entrench the skewed power dynamics, as only really the big companies like Microsoft, Amazon and Google can fully exploit it, drive and and afford it. Sure I can run some LLMs on my computers at home, but you really need access to a lot of data and computing power to create the models in the first place.
It's worth bearing in mind this war could be over in a single second, if the Russian army and its various mercenaries hoisted the white flag and proceeded to leave Ukraine and went back to Russia.
Typically, the upper congressional chamber fast-tracks and confirms military nominations all together at once with bipartisan support, via a process known as unanimous consent.
But a single senator can prevent it, and Mr Tuberville has done so for eight months in objection to a US Defence Department abortion policy.
[..]
On Wednesday, the Democratic leader of the Senate, Chuck Schumer, moved to confirm General Charles Brown as the new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, replacing outgoing General Mark Milley.
The Senate approved the nomination by 83-11, with Mr Tuberville and a handful of Republican colleagues voting no.

While Mr Schumer could theoretically confirm nominees on an individual basis, the non-partisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) concluded that doing so would eat up nearly 700 hours of floor time in the Senate.
The Fairphone is faster - although perhaps not by a huge amount, has better battery life and a better camera. The official spare parts shop has parts for the Fairphone 3 onwards, earlier models' parts are sold out. The Fairphone 2 was released in 2015 and has stopped receiving software updates this year, the 3 came out in 2019. 8 years of support and replacement parts seems to me to be much better than what Samsung or Google would offer you.
482 dog attacks in 2022 resulting in criminal action but a fraction are caused by this particular breed.
In one recent study, researchers compared behavioural tendencies such as impulsivity and sensitivity to positive and negative stimuli – known to trigger aggressive responses – between eight dog breeds that are legislated against (including pit bull types), and 17 breeds that are not. This suggested that breed alone was a poor predictor of individual behavioural tendencies, including those related to aggression.
I pointed out that the fact you refuted wasn’t what the person you replied to was asserting.
There were two claims asserted:
"Not a week goes by in the UK without an attack by this breed."
"Some survive, many do not."
(Emphasis mine)
The first is not something I can find evidence for as there seems to be no break down easily availably by breed. And as for the second, most survive , 0.1% do not.
The down votes being given for asking for data seems like I'm offending some. 🤷
as far as info on which breeds are involved, I’m sure it’s out there.
Does not seem to be as you have also failed to find it. There is aggregate data for all dogs, which yes, is easily found actually refused some of the assertions that the person made.
Banning based on breed seems like a knee jerk reaction based on anecdotes.
Given the weird constraints of tyres in F1, I'm not sure how much value this partnership actually brings to Pirelli.
