? The united states have blocked exports by a Dutch company to China, and somehow got away with it.

...I never found another person with the same experience. Here we are. For me though, it's not that sunlight makes it more noticeable, it's that I will see the same shades until I've had too much sunlight—eventually my left eye gets tired, I guess, and sees a lot less red than my right eye. After sleeping it resets and I see the same shade in both eyes. Maybe i should talk to a researcher about this..

They're not referring to the m-dash that LLMs are known for, but hyphenation in the middle of a word to split the word over two lines.

The article shows it in the example screenshots, but does not explicitly mention it or how it interacts with the different options discussed

I'm struggling a bit when it comes to wording this with social decorum, but how long do we reckon it takes until there's AI powered adult toys? There's a market opportunity that i do not want to see being fulfilled, ever..

Thanks for the explanation! It makes a lot of sense that voxels would scale as badly as they do, especially if you want to increase resolution. Am I right in assuming that the reason this scales a lot better is because the Gaussian splats, once there's enough "resolution" of them, can provide the estimates for how light works reasonably well at most distances? What I'm getting at is, if I can see Gaussian splats vs voxels similarly to pixels vs vector graphics in images?

Thanks for the explanation!

Super cool to read but can someone eli5 what Gaussian splatting is (and/or radiance fields?) specifically to how the article talks about it finally being "mature enough"? What's changed that this is now possible?

As far as I read on Ladybird's blog updates, the issue is less the formalised specs, and more that other browsers break the specs, so websites adjust, so you need to take the non-compliance to specs into account with your design

Yeah they mention it in the article, most network connections are restricted. But not connections to anthropic. To spell out the obvious—because Claude needs to talk to its own servers. But here they show you can get it to talk to its own servers, but put some documents in another user's account, using the different API key. All in a way that you, as an end user, wouldn't really see while it's happening.

> Not to mention that a liar doesn't necessarily have to mean someone who tells a falsehood in every single statement.

FTA: >Note: this question was originally set in a maths exam, so the answer assumes some basic assumptions about formal logic. A liar is someone who only says false statements.

I think it's pretty clear how on definitions

That's more a flaw of classification systems though. Because even if they comprise a distinct life form does not mean they need to have a unique species. Consider lichen, which comprise two (or more!) separate "species" which becomes a meaningless distinction when they cannot survive on their own, or even if they could, not in a form recognizable in any wayas they were when they were a part of the symbiotic system

Idk man if your splash page links to Wikipedia to explain your project maybe rewrite it instead
