Outputs can be easily translated from the watermarked language to another, either by just knowing two+ languages, or via non-LLM translation.

Mastering is done with the target in mind. There's tons of great videos by Masahiro Sakurai (Creator of Smash Bros.), one of which covers how they use typical household TVs to tune the audio/video for the game because relying on t

Notice how you switch from "more energy efficient than most..." when talking about heating, but then switch to "is not always the most efficient..." when talking about cooling. Both are active temperature control, and bo

That graph looks a lot less impressive when not "annualized". Annualized revenue can be gamed in a number of ways, and is a big reason companies tend to compare YoY to investors once they're public.

Older Blender versions had terrible UX like Gimp does now, their epiphany was realizing that they should fix it.

It’s an absurd comparison because homosexuality is not a disorder. Full stop. It’s a non-sequiter to compare it to something that is. I’m not trying to pick on you for this, but it’s something the LGB community has been trying to get across

Yes, this is solved. Samsung makes rugged IP68 phones with user swappable batteries that are thinner than an iPhone 17 Pro when factoring the camera bump [1]. It's kind of comical how accurate this comment is https://news.
