Is it up to Perplexity to determine what is AI blog spam & what is correct. Versus what exists online?

Russia reverted to stay on PST, permanent standard time aka winter timezone. Which is what most people recommend for northern places. Southern places you'd probably want the reverse of that.

Mornings are still dark doesn't really matter

Your logic is incorrect, you are thinking that a "international" folk buying a TV is what they mean. But that's not correct. Paying income taxes, paying tax on cars, paying tax on gas, paying rent, these matter a lot more to the government then you buying an iphone from the apple store in the mall versus one in "international country".

Wine in North America is largely a gate kept rich person thing. It is usually not mass production wine, but what little amount of grapes grow go into weird wine makes that they then mark up as if it is nectar from god.

But that said, there is dirt cheap California wine brands, like barefoot.

It is not as self thinking, you need to be more detailed and accurate with the prompts.

Where does it say that is guaranteed? Nobody can guarantee that.

I think it's just we don't have a way to say/write these numbers. So you make up a way to write them (-1 and 1) and continue.

The numbers don't matter and you could replace -1 and 1 with anything. It's just easier to begin your new fake number at - 1 and 1. Because position does matter.

It does look like the general consensus is agent orange is not a chemical weapon, or at least was not used as one.

2 - is a little pedantic, they used agent orange to kill foliage to kill people...

They didn't gas people with chlorine or mustard, but they mass destroyed crops and foliage, to kill people.

And "affected US troops as much as Vietnamese" is just completely incorrect, US covered a nation in herbicide, went home, got cancer. Is completely different then having your soil destroyed for decades.

Then convert from HTML to markdown before you convert to tokens? It's not rocket science, if markdown is "better" stripping all possible HTML tags and leaving just text, images also works. That is more then likely what any automated "serve markdown on the fly" would end up doing.

Let's be real here, Apple does not have to compete with AI for fab capacity, they can outbid anyone if they want. They have more money and longer contracts then anyone else. Apple customers will just end up paying for said DRAM price inflation.

The ones who will actually suffer is Apple 2.0 (presumably a different competing company), start ups, research, companies that are not worth trillions.

I get flagged way more often on Starlink then I did on my local ISP fiber.

Acting like a human is something scapers already do. Using residential proxies, using latest Chrome user agents, not moving/typing as fast, etc. This is just 1 more layer, moving mouse naturally.
