Well, you have to admit they've done a darn good job of fighting them so far!

Is ChatGPT Changing How You're Writing?

No, it's not changing how I write. I don't actually like the long-winded prose these AI agents spit out. I typically end up completely rewriting it, on the rare occasions that I use it at all.

However I do share the OP's affection for the Oxford comma.

Whenever autocorrect inserts an m-dash in place of a short dash, I always undo it. I hate m-dash.

They're building quite the Duck Dynasty.

I've been using Freestyle Libres (2, 3, 3 plus) for several years now. I have fewer connection issues with Libre than I used to have with the Dexcomm. I also find the Libre's adhesive to be superior to that of the Dexcomm - with the latter, I always had to use overpatches to keep them attached..

One thing Dexcomm does have over the Libre is it can be calibrated against a fingerstick. Also, I think right now the Dexcomm is the only one that will directly work with (certain brands of) an insulin pump. I'm not insulin-dependent, so that doesn't impact me.

"If one comes loose it is also useless and has to be replaced" is true of any CGMS, not just the Libre. They rely on a tiny tube that gets inserted just below the skin - it's not practical to re-insert that if it gets pulled out. But I can't say that's been a significant problem for me, at least.

Just gonna drop this here.

What has the former got to do with the latter, other than both being Amazon products?

I like my Kindle, but I agree that Alexa is garbage.

So our lawns will survive.

I wonder about CAM plants - desert plants, and tropicals like pineapple? That's pretty similar to C4.

As the saying goes - even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I can sort of see how working on getting bipedal robots moving faster than humans - and doing it well - might provide useful information to robotic companies, given the sort of roles they're developing these robots for.

But I'm not sure what the practical advantages would be in pushing them to cheetah speeds, for instance. At that point, why bother with bipedal versions? There are better, more stable means of locomotion.

But what about his brother, Insane Bolt?

This company just keeps getting back up out of its grave. Maybe a wooden stake is necessary.

... according to Quantinuum, the company that makes Helios. But realistically, it's basically just a different approach to constructing quantum computers that may or may not end up having some practical benefit over other approaches to constructing quantum computers.

Really, the most important part is at the tail end of TFS, although it's not actually saying anything that we weren't already aware of:

Having said that, Helios' computations have just been random benchmark tests, so the practical importance of this leap forward is still limited. To perform quantum computations of practical importance in science and commerce, even the most optimistic estimates suggest that quantum computers must be enormously bigger and better — of the order of a million qubits.

Nonsense. This backdoor was obviously put into place so Russian tanks could disable the cameras and speed through the cities, traversing Slovakia quickly on their way to the west. But, now that it's been discovered, those tanks will need to obey the traffic laws - foiling any invasion!
