I say go the Slavic route and lose all the articles; "Man who coined word 'Robot' defends himself"

Fits with the 'robot' theme

This comment uses 'X' as a variable, which I found confusing to parse given the recent rebranding of Twitter to X

Any infinite combo is of this form?

Like, if you have an infinite mana combo, you can just keep running the steps of it to block gameplay instead of playing your fireball

It's like watching our supreme overlords descend into madness, in a kind of scarily literal sense

I didn't read the article but, small numbers are more immediately useful. Larger numbers are needed for describing more complex phenomena, and their construction relies on smaller numbers. So I find the explanation to the title of this article to be intuitively obvious; I don't see how it could be possible for a brain to evolve to perceive large numbers better than smaller ones

Tutanota is cheaper and allows as many custom domain email addresses as you like. Proton had some restriction like 5 or 10 or something

Oh I didn't realise I could just do that myself.

Well, thank you so much for all of your help

Oh I see, that makes sense.

Just to check I understand correctly, I need to clear my caches on any internet apps I use like the browser and YouTube etc., and I will also clear the cookies on my browser. Then I'll ring my ISP and ask for a new IP address, and then I'll repeat the cache clearing. Did I miss anything?

I tried to search for 'bot profiling' so I could try and read a bit more about this but I didn't really find too much of interest so far

Wow ok that is pretty scary. From what I understand credit scores are pretty strictly regulated and this definitely needs to be too.

Is there some way for me to run my IP through a bot detection so I can check if what I'm doing is making a difference?

Ahhhh I see thank you I will definitely do that. I didn't realise the profiling would be on my devices I thought maybe some company makes a list of 'bot scores' a bit like experian or something
