IMHO that Fable ban is because Grok is now too big to fail and quite far behind so the highly corrupt US govt is banning competition from getting too far ahead of Grok. No seen any idication that it is anything else. That will likely resul

I don't think that is necessarily the point. Its about brand recognition they don't really expect you to click just to know that they exist, and are an option when it comes to decision time. Naturally they have a click to purchase

My reading was that copying the doc's ToC in markdown + links was significantly more effective than giving it a link to the ToC and instructions to read it. Which makes sense. & some numbers that prove that.

Did a bit of searching: fizzy drinks companies sometimes go and get stored CO2 to put in drinks or make it. Any atmospheric extraction has a net positive compared to that.

Covid proved this generalisation is not a truism. USofA was probably the only place that actively resisted the global effort. I think people do want a better world. Greed is not universal. Most countries that grow a middle class find most p

The is one trick that doesn't require political will. If you can make the microeconomics work it can be made to scale it self. E.G. Make CO2 extraction so cheap it's worth everyone doing it and say, make a market to sell the CO2 t

I think OPs point is this tech is good only if you sink it after. I. e. Collection is half the problem. Collecting it in a way it's cheap to get it back again is potentially just less than minus half the problem.

Bit harsh. That was probably a node / npm thing, because they had no stdlib it was quite common to have many small libraries. I consider it an absolute golden rule for coding to not write unnecessary code & don't write collect

I don't understand how yous can be ignorant of this. In the USofA you get advertised at continuously by drug companies. Do you really think they spend that money advertising, and that you can then not buy the products?!? Sure, you need

What they get is amphetamines, legally. 38% of stanford kids taking or selling drugs, legally, because they are rich kids: and the poor kids get jail time for buying it off them. Go USA. Wierd that no-one on this thread seems aware of it. T

Oh and the fact that in USofA, Big Pharma in cahoots with corrupt doctors and a broken police/judicial system let you legal amphetamines if you have adhd is, of course, nothing to do with this.

The pixel ain't no problem. A "megapixel" is simply defined as 1024 pixels squared ish. There is no kilopixel. Or exapixel. No-one doesn't understand this?
