This is about electing the governor.

It is a statewide election, so gerrymandering is irrelevant.

Same with my Toyota Innova.

I have to tap "Agree" before I can use the car.

After tapping "Agree", it turns on the radio, so I also have to turn that off again. Every time.

I'm not sure what I'm agreeing to, since the terms and conditions aren't listed on the screen.

Texas has plenty of wind and sunshine.

They should be installing wind turbines in the Panhandle and solar panels in the Trans-Pecos region.

Someone should explain supply and demand to Governor Abbott.

I suspect GP's point is that every malware blocker in every browser is likely to treat this kind of script as hostile, except for Chrome because Google are currently nerfing the ability for blockers to intercept hostile scripts in one of the most blatantly user-hostile changes they've ever made.

If Apple play along with Safari then every other browser and its malware blocking plugins are about to be toast in a huge retrograde step for Internet privacy. But not even Cloudflare is going to get away with blocking every iOS device if Apple continues to allow blockers to intercept this kind of script.

Did anyone mention recently that simultaneously controlling both the most popular web browser and several of the most popular ad-supported web properties might be a little anticompetitive, and that it's about time that Google was broken up? It's probably time for that drum to start beating a bit louder again.

And people making predictions about those booms and busts have been wrong pretty much forever.

DeepSeek is doing exactly that.

DeepSeek is 30 times cheaper than OpenAI and delivers better results.

The reasons DeepSeek is cheaper are its use of less energy and the smart use of prompt caching.

Cuba gets slammed by a lot of hurricanes, which are bad for both solar panels and wind turbines.

How much in additional taxes or airport fees are you willing to pay for that?

DeepSeek is designing a tensor processor. The instruction set is very simple. Mostly just lots and lots of parallelized low-precision multiply-and-accumulate.

LLMs and humans are both unreliable, but make different mistakes.

Use one to check the other.

Disclaimer: I have used Mechanical Turk many times, but not recently.

Except the summary says that earlier acquisition is more effective than learning "recently".

Most children don't learn a second language by choice, but because they are in a multilingual environment. My daughter is bilingual because from birth to age 10 she shared a bedroom with her monolingual Mandarin-speaking grandmother.

I had an RPN calculator in high school, so that made learning Japanese much easier.

When I was in the military, I was deployed to the Western Pacific. I learned Japanese and Tagalog so I could talk to girls.

Of course they will.

Clients need to do their research, choose the tool they want, and then choose the consultant to help them implement it.

That's the way it works. Microsoft isn't the right partner to help you implement a solution based on Google Gemini. Duh.

Or this could be an example of Jevons Paradox .

As AI makes employees more productive, and thus more profitable, would you fire them or hire more?
