In brand velocity maybe, but copilot is rapidly reaching feature parity with cursor and will invariably overtake it—while costing less to users. Same with Google vs OpenAI. I tend to agree with the sentiment that I most frequently hear whic

The mobile site is pretty seriously broken in multiple places. This does not inspire confidence in the project. One major breakage is that I can't watch the demo video on a modern device (S24U, firefox). If I press play, the video come

Have they given a reason for being hesitant? The whole point of IL4+ is that they handle CUI (and higher). The whole point of services provided for these levels is that they meet the requirements.

Oh I was just saying it came off as an uncle er troll because it's like a weak bait with a comical conclusion. It's like saying "4chan would be great if they were more like reddit". But the entire point is to not be like

Except for a some of the population of white countries right now, almost everyone in existence now and throughout the history of our species is and has been extraordinary more conservative—and racist—than western progressives. Even in white

EDIT: When I said "I've felt the same way", I meant about outlawing advertising. Propaganda in general should be allowed—especially the political kind. But consumerist propaganda (aka advertising) needs to be abolished. ___ I

The people leading the health system are highly credentialed. Moreover, highly credentialed people, in medicine as in all fields, frequently disagree on what studies show, how valid a study is, what it's flaws and limits are, how concl

We need a blog post documenting the ironic trend of people—themselves NPCs, actual human bots, just now realizing the em dash exists despite seeing it hundreds if not thousands of times before LLMs—flattering themselves by suggesting that a

The lack of em dash usage in popular culture speaks more about typical people than it does about whether a text's author was an LLM. In fact, the average person has never even noticed—let alone considered—that the em dash exists. If th

Why did they annul it? I'm assuming they gave a reason, not sure if that's a reasonable assumption.

Linux is nice if, like nixos users, you want to spend hundreds of hours over several years writing every QoL feature totally custom for your unique use case. For me, Mac is 99% of what I liked about Linux, and there is ALWAYS an existing Qo

The name is now finally NOT centered around one nation. Plus, it's the opposite of weird. National reasons are the most frequent cause for renaming areas after hundreds of years. Additionally, the order doesn't change the name of

Ignoring the bombasticism of certain individuals, Gulf of America seems like a reasonable name. The shores are roughly 50% not-Mexico, and both countries are America. This is progressivism.

If you'd rather get coolant on a dedicated device, there are some insanely good mobile calculator apps—and desmos' site or mobile app. You can install them on a virtually limitless range of devices.

Of course, yes. The west is committed to their own propaganda narrative, which explains the tiktok ban and the "inability" (unwillingness, really) to replicate the algorithm. I'm not saying china is perfect. They do their own
