Chinese does the same thing, using prefixes like 西 (western), 番 (foreign), and 洋 (foreign) for introduced items. For tomatoes, interestingly, it has two common names that follow this pattern: 西紅柿, literally translated as "Western Red P

When can we use it in Gemini (web)? It still uses 3.6 Flash for example.

I don't think there are. Even when you have the MS Office suite installed, it doesn't really provide a good interface for LLMs or automation, so AI tools don't really use it.

10 years of all games' content is only 13TB? They are 'ancient' games, but I still find the number too small.

Better analogy would be that even though the coffee machine is still worse, we choose it because it's more convenient (at least I think that's the case).

I love this kind of stuff (ASCII art, if you will), but it just breaks down too easily as soon as Unicode characters (mainly CJK, as I'm Chinese) and fonts are involved. For example, on your website, any chart or plot involving horizon

I never really use AI via API that much, so I'm surprised reading 'merely' 6000 emails will cost $500?!

Chinese people have been developing similar obfuscation protocols and playing a cat-and-mouse game for years, and most of them are "open source" (in quotes because lots of them have to be somewhat hidden because the Chinese gov th

This happens more often than you would think. During COVID, lots of live shows (concerts, etc.) in Japan moved to streaming (and most of them stuck, so thanks to that, lots of large concerts today have real-time streaming, which is great fo

This has to be trolling, right? I find it hard to believe that anyone, no matter how dense, could come to this conclusion after this whole saga.

Sometimes it's not very clear what I really want when typing. Also, Google Search's AI answer doesn't prevent the actual search results from still showing below; so if I later realize I need those (search results) instead, th

Very good write up but I lost it a little at the end. Could someone clarify for me? The author said: You cannot just use the shortcut trick to install the evil extension directly because of new publisher trust system; You can bypass this by

I don't want either, if I'm indeed "searching." But I find that often times I am indeed just looking for a quick answer, and Gemini/Google's "new" search does it fine. It's one of the few AI feat

I lost my 10 years old account this way after being flagged about 2-3 times due to travel. My account really isn't that important but still makes my blood boil at the time.

In the video, some debris seemed to fly away from the explosion in a wavy path (top left). I thought things only moved like that in video games. What causes that kind of movement?

Good article, but I'd like to ask about two small technical details (I've used Bambu before, but I'm not very familiar with the 3D printing ecosystem). 1. OrcaSlicer: so it's a fork of Bambu's official client, Bambu

I keep seeing people mention OpenRouter. Does it effectively bypass regional restrictions for you, so you can use something like the Claude API from unsupported regions such as Hong Kong, or does it still enforce the official providers&#x27

Well TBF, the original Notepad++ isn't too good in this regard either. Whenever I opened a N++ window in a remote desktop session and leave it open, and then use the same computer in-person, the whole UI of that window becomes a blurry

I've probably said this a bunch of times already, but based on my past experience, any analysis built on month-to-month changes in the Steam Hardware Survey should be taken with a very large grain of salt, if not considered outright us

I always thought "opt-in" (not "opt in") meant something you have to actively choose to enable; otherwise, it stays off. So calling something "opt-in by default" sounds like a misnomer to me. But English is not

I'm not comparing it to US anything, I'm comparing it to other cost components like raw materials and parts, whose prices are often global. The point is that transportation within China isn't a dominant factor in industrial c
