Under that premise we would consider a photography by my 6-year old a greater achievement than a detailed realistic painting, which we still marvel at.

I think that, as with photography and painting, there will be a place for all types of art, also machine generated, but under different umbrellas.

To think that they compete in the same category is a mistake.

With the amount of new seemingly well polished personal projects being built (thanks to the help of LLMs) I feel increasingly concerned by how easy it is becoming to get a worm/virus/troyan to a lot of people.

Damn it in deed.

But perhaps it will open a door to new proofs? Perhaps in other areas?

Beautiful atmosphere; a tutorial, ai-vs-ai, and a remote play that is a bit slow, but was a lot of fun.

Congrats!

I'm not sure people actually understand why this is just sad.

It is not that I am against a nationalist and populist renaming, it is that these renames have a clearly negative impact.

They deny the identity of the local people who lived there before us (Ontario meaning "sparkling lake" in Iroquoian; Mexico being a Nahuatl expression).

They undermine the diversity and richness of the names we use. Do we really want everything to be "of America"?

That doesn't make America greater; it just makes it dumber, and boring.

Worked for me? (Firefox & Chromium)

WRT the size, pretty average, if you ask me.

I don't even see these anymore; I just hit reject and continue.

Yet a lot of people forgot about the most important thing about them: that they must be independent.

This is a very neat site someone shared with me: https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

I liked it that it explains what Chat Control is, what is the current position of different countries and politicians, and suggests ways to contact your representatives to explain why you have one position or the other.

Seams not all mustard oil is Banned in the EU.

I've got a bottle of Uncle Roy's cold pressed extra virgin "spicy" mustard seed oil at my local Spar.

The label reads "erucic acid free", so I'm guessing they somehow remove it?

It even has the awful pun of "The healthy Oilternative".

I understand they also remove (most of?) it from Canola Oil.

> Its not worse just very very different and you can't go back.

But kids eventually grow up, and you get back most of your free time.

You might not have the same energy nor desires at that point though.
