Looks like a WW2 Japanese hand-held antitank explosive. The one where you have to charge at the tank to explode it. I may be wrong tho.

People, no matter the inteligence or schooling, are more likely to believe what they hear more often. (If 10 people you know swear that eating mint will keep you from going bald it might just be true)

This makes sense and is normal, at least until the modern world.

Now add social media and an algorithm that its only purpose is to increase clicks/likes/interactions. Suddenly everything everyone is talking about is whatever you clicked on last time. A positive feedback loop occurs. The more videos you look at on the same topic, the more those get served, the more you view them, the more you believe them.

Experiment : Try creating a brand new Google account and watching 3 videos on YouTube on a single topic. Refresh YouTube page, or check back tomorrow.

I never liked taking pictures of friends and family when traveling, cos I could see them anytime I wanted, but the places I was visiting I didn't plan on going back to.

Comically sad when I found out it was the other way around.

I think it's das Mädchen because it's a sort of diminutive (by use of chen). But it's been a while since I studied German.

Tom uses a shuttle to travel to warp ten. Once he reaches the threshold he's everywhere at the same time, becomes Kwisatz Haderach. When he comes back he starts mutating, loses his mind, kidnaps the captain, they fly off at warp 10.

By the time voyager finds them they've devolved(or evolved) into small amphibians, luckily the doc has a magic serum that will fix them. As the crew are about to leave they notice a bunch of tadpoles escape from the nest. Basically Tom and Kat had tadpole babies.

Relay is an amazing app. Very smooth. And this is a good solution for his app to survive.

But besides the fact that almost all of the money will be going to Reddit. Everything you do on the app makes calls to the API, including voting. And each vote is equal to one call, just as much getting a batch of comments for a post, or getting a batch of posts.

So the best way to keep your API calls low is to not vote on any post or comment.

Maybe the dev will optimize this somehow by maybe batching votes and sending them at a later date, but you can see how the current situation, made possible by reddit, will decrease engagement.

Edge is based off chromium, same "engine" that powers Chrome. As most browsers are.

Is it just me or are Twitter, Reddit, and now Google, scrambling to lock their doors to any entities trying to scrape the web for new AI datasets?

All these hugely unpopular decisions, taken on short notice, that may be fatal to their platforms, seem to be more like knee jerk reactions to protect their treasure hoards of possible AI input data.

Opinions?
