It's anecdotal for sure. Polls, even with a large margin of error, would be more reliable inputs to try to make any kind of conclusion.

The article is indeed underwelming.

I expected to read about plans to reduce CO2 emissions by recycling cement, or replacing limestone with alternative materials. But they're planning to keep using highly polluting processes, and to try to capture pollution at the output.

Even so, we shouldn't accept it as a norm

Then someone will write an utility that automatically sets timezone using geoclue location data.

There's the environmental impact: these ultra-fast planes burn through massive amounts of fuel, releasing far more emissions than regular aircraft

Hypersonic flights are a way to get us to a NON-inhabitable earth faster than ever before.

It would be fair to compare browsers without adding extensions, with default settings.

This would show which browser have the best security and privacy out of the box. Also, the comparison would be practically impossible otherwise.

Most people use defaults, and I suspect a large portion of users install no extension, unless maybe if a tech-savy relative adds an adblocker.

Is Russia starting to lack cannon fodder?

This is why these people ask, among other things, to strictly limit access to adults.

LLM are good with language and can be very convincing characters, especially to children and teenagers, who don't fully understand how these things work, and who are more vulnerable emotionally.

That's a good point, but there's more to this story than a gunshot.

The lawsuit alleges amongst other things this the chatbots are posing are licensed therapist, as real persons, and caused a minor to suffer mental anguish.

A court may consider these accusations and whether the company has any responsibility on everything that happened up to the child's death, regarless of whether they find the company responsible for the death itself or not.

He gave a reason, and said he's not going to answers why questions, so your guess is as good as anyone else's.

We should be thankful that this person maintained the app and put up with Google's bullshit for so long.

If you find this app helpful, consider supporting whoever is willing to take over maintaining the app or a fork.

Thanks for the interesting details. Glad to see there's an offline version that disables photogrammetry.

The church in england is a good example where a a generic rectangle building model doesn't work. They could improve the offline version by adding a church model in the set of offline models, and use it for 90% of church in western Europe.

A fully realistic model of every single building may be cool for architects, future historians, city planners, gamers that are sightseeing... but don't help much when learning to pilot. Having a virtual world that look similar to the real one, with buildings of the right size and positions, landmarks, and hero buildings is good enough, and doesn't require that much resources. There are others parts of flight simulators that are more important to work on.

 

These bees were so sweet and docile and were possibly missing their queen. I was able to safely relocate them from this residential backyard into a new hive,
