Subatomic particles act in insane ways that are absolutely not mechanical or predictible. A very limited size of object behaves "normally". I think believing that the universe mostly acts like our everyday objects is the skewed perspective.

The potential for distros optimized for specific tasks without needing to swap out entire kernels. A "gaming" focused scheduler probably looks different from a big data cruncher or a super multi-tasker server.

Pronouns are extremely relevant in formal communication. People do their best to infer them from names but that's not always easy or even possible.

I can only really speak to reddit, but I think this applies to all of the user generated content websites. The original premise, that everyone agreed to, was the site provides a space and some tools and users provide content to fill it. As information gets added, it becomes a valuable resource for everyone. Ads and other revenue streams become a necessary evil in all this, but overall directly support the core use case.

Now that content is being packaged into large language models to be either put behind a paywall or packed into other non-freely available services. Since they no longer seem interested in supporting the model we all agreed on, I see no reason to continue adding value and since they provided tools to remove content I may as well use them.

Minimum 25 years actually in a prison +/- some minor adjustments for behavior and then he'll be eligible to request release on parole. But if parole isn't granted there's no upper limit on how long he can continue to spend in prison.

The section about "regular language" is the reason. That's not being cheeky, that's a technical term. It immediately dives into some complex set theory stuff but that's the place to start understanding.

Imagine walking in, seeing a price on the board, waiting behind someone with a big order, and by the time you get to the counter the price has increased. I forsee yelling and fights happening in lines.

Sora can sometimes do 1 minute clips that mostly look ok as long as you don't pay too close attention. We are incredibly far away from coherent, feature-length narratives and even those aren't likely to be thematically interesting or engaging.

We made a tag that can't be reliably and deterministically scanned so we also included a machine learning model that takes a good guess at it.

I just don't see how you could possibly rely on a black box model for anything important. You have no way to mathematically prove if there are collisions in the model output or not, and newer versions of the model can't be made backwards compatible. So if you have a database of thousands of these tags scanned, then they discover a critical vulnerability and provide a new model, you're SOL and everything you have is worthless.

There are hundreds of gTLDs now, maybe everyone can stop abusing country code TLDs and leave them for their intended purposes.

Apparently they weren't redundant if you needed them to make the expansion...

A fire? At a Sea Parks?
