I love when an abstract is dripping with disdain

There’s no way those languages don’t have a word for twink, right?

What’s the twinkiest twink?

Disappointing to hear, I’ve always considered waiting for a doodad, forgetting about it, and getting a little surprise present 3 weeks later a fundamental part of the Alibaba experience.

I doubt those are huge markets for premium cars, but also I imagine the car market in Czechia is just overwhelmingly dominated by Skoda.

Canada hasn’t lurched back to the left, Carney has adopted virtually every conservative talking point and policy. Poulievre was soft on the US, and Carney is perceived as the “reasonable” option for enacting the conservative platform PP pitched. There is an odd progressive policy here and there, both as a play for the NDP, and because the moment requires them to (primarily due to housing crisis). But don’t think this is a dramatic shift in the Canadian political landscape, we are likely headed for a very conservative Liberal party. We will likely see a fair bit of austerity outside of housing policy, there will almost surely be a federal hiring freeze and probable layoffs.

This is definitely Musk wanting to add PayPal features to twitter without regulatory expenses, right?

Yeah, I was like that’s not what an ophthalmologist does!!

A friend of mine had a reviewer suggest 5 references to include. All 5 had one author in common. 🤔

Think the person who posted that is Daniel Litt, math prof at UofT. Good follow on twitter, lots of little math related humour, and he posts some fun probability problems sometimes.

It sounds like the “AI” is used to index a bunch of screenshots so you can ask it what you were doing this morning/yesterday or something? Potential major privacy issue aside, it’s another instance of the AI solution providing a really marginal benefit over what already existed. Windows 11 already had a list of every window/document you had open sorted by timestamps iirc. Which, also a potential privacy issue, but still more the point is this is a very marginal upgrade to what was already there. Although even on the privacy side, a memory of X document or folder being open at time Y is less of a potential breach than the contents of the document being visible and searchable.

Microsoft is once again delaying the roll out of its controversial Recall feature for Copilot Plus PCs. The software giant had planned to start testing Recall, which creates screenshots of mostly everything you see or do on a Copilot Plus PC, with Windows Insiders in October. Now, Microsoft says it needs more time to get the feature ready.

No my job at the is tbere a fire hydrant in this image factory!

The states GDP would probably plummet if phone OS developers couldn’t sell user data lol

Is that supposed to be an emptyset or very pretty curly braces?

Either way: me too, thanks.

Is it just mere elitism to feel superior or are there any other reasons?

Security concerns are a part of it. The idea is that there’s an added layer of security if everyone is a friend of a friend, but obviously it’s not very practical. Generally the security is added by making sure you’re drafting from an “in”-crowd, which usually means familiarity with the content hosted and how the content is generated (like the old what.cd test) in addition to being a member in good standing in a tracker or a proven history of seeding. User limits also make the need for people to be very into the specific content type in order to make sure even the more obscure content is well seeded.
