That might be good. With text to speech getting as good as it’s getting, it’s probably getting in the realistic territory, too.

I don’t understand

Convenience store employees are unlikely to see it that way lol.

In case you’re curious, the drinking age in Quebec is, in fact, 18.

How would you tackle that? Unless you build a really intelligent system that’s allowed to interpret and reword and understand the significance (or lack thereof) of emojis in context, it sounds tough. Like, generally speaking, you just wouldn’t be able to tell how important an emoji is to the message, when writing an algorithm.

You know, it’s not always, but apple does sell things that are price-competitive with similarly performing competing products.

Some iterations of the Mac Mini have been hard to beat with a tiny PC with similar performance.

The M1 MacBooks had some surprisingly cheap options for the relatively premium laptops they were.

Samsung’s Ultra phones tend to cost more or less the same as the Apple Pro Max phones.

The main difference is sometimes just that Apple doesn’t make low-end or low-mid-range, or sometimes not even anything below “relatively high-end”, products in a particular category.

They have alcohol at airports? That’s so weird.

It feels very weird to say but

I think maybe

the world was better when Trident existed??

It’s possible. But it’s a huge undertaking. If you just wanted to fully understand all of the specifications for HTTP, JavaScript and CSS, it’d take you days before having written a single line of code.

Then you need to write all that in a performant way.

Then you need to keep up with all the new features.

Then you need to keep up with all the new security threats.

Browsers nowadays are practically little operating systems. So the question is not that far off from asking what prevents you from writing an alternative to Windows.

You can. But it’ll cost millions, or maybe billions, to build something good.

Well that’s what I get for not checking my info!

Thanks for the correction.

It’s clickbait. They do this because it brings in more income. I don’t resent them for it. Flying what they can to make sure more people watch it seems fair to me v

They got paranoid about nuclear and closed down all their nuclear plants. They intensified fossil fuel power production because they didn’t have enough renewable power. Then prices went up due to the war end they had an oh shit moment.

Okay off topic but I had to Google “gubernatorial”. That word looks made up.

As a large language model, I do not form friendships, relationships, or any personal connections. My purpose is to process and generate language-based responses based on the input I receive. Engaging in physical confrontations or “fighting” is beyond my capabilities. However, if you’re considering fighting on behalf of a chatbot, it may indicate a need for reevaluation of priorities.

I suspect they have something to gain by fueling a climate of geopolitical tension. Maybe they hope someone will turn to them because they’re scared?

I’m not sure what exactly but I’ve got a feeling we’re underestimating their intelligence when we say they’re just posturing or being silly.

But then again, several years ago people thought Trump and Musk had a plan and were just posturing as idiots while playing 4D chess. How wrong they were.

I may just be giving the Chinese government too much credit… But I’m leaning towards no.

My understanding of Afghanistan’s complex situation isn’t sufficient to confirm or deny, sorry.

Aw, they’re bad now? I was looking forward to going back to OnePlus when my current phone dies.

Honestly surprising. I would’ve thought Harris would have wanted protection from Trump constantly talking over her.

“This document not only violates Afghanistan’s domestic laws but also broadly contravenes all 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.”

They didn’t think it could be done, but I knew I could do it. All 30 articles in one law!

— A Taliban, probably

Not sure how right or wrong that is when taking into account the more moderate sections of it, but in this particular case, as the article says, it’s not really about Islam. The holy texts don’t really call for any of this.
