Let me try to explain with a different example. Your local newspaper is not bad because it merely reports local news. EN Wikipedia is not bad because it merely reports English news.

So, create a North Korean Wikipedia (I am assuming it does not exist), and put North Korean articles on its start page. Thats not "wrong", thats the reason you create it.

"flexible divs side by side" sounds like something which can be generated in many ways, From display: inline-block, over float:left, col-columns, flex layout, to a grid based layout. Can what you desire be created in, for example, https://grid.layoutit.com/?

Actually Gemma 4 31B and Gemini 3.1 Pro.

Not sure why I listed DeepSeek V4 Pro an Nemotron 3 Ultra. Must have been accidental.

DeepSeek V4 Pro, Nemotron 3 Ultra. Gemini 3.1 Pro. "The universe experiences itself". This is my point of view too.

Edit: Answering myself: https://gwern.net/doc/algernon/2009-silberberg.pdf

However,

* we see no videos of the two men doing the test. Notice how the ape barely looks at the task, while the men maybe were highly concentrated.

* The men had the goal to improve and beat the ape, the ape probably did not have that goal.

* The men created the circumstances themself, so it may be possible the knowingly or unknowingly gave themself better conditions than the ape.

* The men did up to 2500 units of training, it is unknown how much the ape got.

* We can see that the ape does nine numbers in some tests, the men did just five.

* the men propably relied on language to learn the task, the ape did not.

So, this is quite a flawed study too.

Speaking of animal intelligence: I have always been impressed by the short-term memory of chimpanzees, which outperforms that of humans:

The explanation given by scientists is that chimpanzees need this type of memory to keep a clear mental map of their surroundings while climbing. Still, spectacular.

Yes, PayPal has blacklists and people land on them very quickly. I play according to their rules, as I need the service when I need something which is not available on Amazon (Which has IBAN).

I have experienced the same with Google and with PayPal, whenever I used Tor. When I afterwards visited those sites using my normal browser I got Captchas. They are actively fighting attempts to avoid fingerprinting. Also, I am pretty sure that no browser protects against getting fingerprinted. Test with https://fingerprint.com/.

Were you intentionally rude with your first sentence or just unaware?
