Literally the article parent linked says they're still expected to go extinct but there is a "glimmer of hope." And that's supposed to be adapting nicely?

Google is rejecting it to ensure incoming messages aren't spam. SHOULD means "you should do this unless you have a really, really good reason not to." Do they have a good reason not to? It doesn't seem so, meaning Viva i

Why do I get the feeling that if the answer is that they're polluting more as well, parent will argue that makes it OK for the US, as if we should be following their lead. But if the answer is they're making progress on lowering e

I don't know if you've been paying attention lately, but the US Government is very hands on when it comes to directing businesses these days, and Congress lets the President do whatever he wants, whether strictly legal or not. Do

But don't worry, us middle aged people are definitely immune.

I thought that was weird too. Surely this is a breach of whatever licensing they agreed to with the free trial. Are they allergic to getting paid for their work?

I already pay for Google One storage, so it's the cheapest of the paid LLMs for me. That's 99% of the reason I use it, and honestly I don't really have any strong opinions on it compared to ChatGPT. It's about the same

Many still have the kitchens, but the two in my hometown rarely cook from scratch anymore. I live in a small 5k person town in North Carolina, and recently got involved with the school PTO. And the cafeteria is basically just heating up pre

My family's last name was probably Schaefer in Germany. The earliest graves in America show them as Scheffert instead but shortly after they became "Shuford" which I guess they thought sounded more English (they were here pre

A lot of old nicknames don't really make a lot of sense at first glance. The short answer is rhyming slang, and the long answer is there simply used to be a lot less names in English that were acceptable and commonly used. So, for inst

> Where are the Democrats on all this? There is hardly any opposition. Are they not interrupting their enemy while he is making mistakes? That would be the only explanation. This is the kind of thing that someone who's on TikTok a l

What is the deal with Gukesh's last name? It's officially listed as just D on his FIDE profile. I asked a couple Indian coworkers who said it was probably just being abbreviated for being long, but honestly it's not that long

The apostrophe here most likely represents a glottal stop (as in Hawai'i).

We've also seen instances where visible "clumping" in a galactic disc correspond to differences in the rotation curves, which dark matter can't really explain. But this is still a topic of much debate. However, there&#x2

That's SpaceX's philosophy, but Boeing operates on a measure-twice build-once philosophy where everything is supposed to be close to perfect in the first place.

I've recently switched from Firefox to Edge until they fix this bug. Every now and then I go back to Firefox hoping it'll be fixed, and then it bites me again.

Mexico City is one of the largest cities in the world. Five people out of 21 million is nothing. Sure, every death is tragic, but there are a lot more efficient ways to spend time and money preventing deaths than tree trimming.

I don't think NASA would have chosen the SLS platform though. It was basically mandated by Congress.

Those don't sound anything alike, except being two female voices. Sky is clearly a bit lower and with a lot more vocal fry.

I did this about 18 months ago, and surprisingly, Spectrum came out and actually put a new line up my road. I'd asked them off and on for years to get broadband. Last time I'd been quoted 12k to cross the little creek they stopped

Agreed. I type half my texts in Firefox these days using the Google messages web frontend. Supports RCS too!

Google's RCS encryption scheme isn't really proprietary, it's the Signal e2ee scheme. Granted, it's bolted into RCS and not part of the standard, but it's not 100% closed either. It's like a standard added to a

On my corporate laptop, I only have Edge and Chrome installed, and I run Edge by choice. I like the horizontal (I meant vertical!) tabs. At home it's Firefox. I guess I mostly just don't want to use Chrome :D
