Prompts can certainly be tuned to a particular model, where updating the model actually results in worse performance. This is perhaps less true today than a year or two ago, but we have seen this on newer models as well. Typically, the less

When discussing fertility rates "sustainable" usually means "ratio of births to deaths in order to have a stable population". In developed economies that's around 2.1 children per woman. Anything under that and the

Nomads typically live in areas very poor in resources (like Touaregs in deserts) or with high seasonal variation (like Sioux in plains). There is nothing inherently destructive with the lifestyle, and in fact many other animals are nomadic

It shows that you don't need to know how to code to succeed in this type of project. As someone who does know how to code, I find the approach to be great, as it can motivate others to try similar projects.

That any of this needed I would consider a form of social failure, a path to a future where only corporate entities can own anything. Much respect for the hacking. Clawing back some freedom in a world determined to take it away.

The developer is "Ascensio System SIA", and they are located in Riga, Latvia. Why the mention of Russian developers?

You mean the "US-Israel war of aggression against Iran"? Let's not avoid assigning responsibility when it is so clear.

You must be deep into the Apple walled garden. And you're right, I'll never get it I guess. I'll spend more on something of equivalent features for only two reasons: build quality and freedom. Alas, most electronics nowadays
