The car has four exhausts so I'd assume it's not electric.

It's been the same in Germany. Literally everyone drives over the speed limit all of the time. 30km/h is somewhat stuck to when it's near a school but everywhere else people just drive faster because the fines were ridiculously low for the longest time.

This happens exactly because you're not on Chrome. For some reason the sign in with Google pop up only triggers on non-chrome browsers. Especially on Firefox.

How are loot boxes different from slot machines? The underlying psychological mechanics are very similar if not the same.

Have been using one of their keyboards for two years switching between windows and macos and that key was not the one that wore out first. Plus on most keyboards you could configure the layout switch with qmk anyways.

> There is an incentive to make games addictive.

It's not just games though, it's pretty much every digital service now.

Virtually every website has infinite scrolling and algorithms that tailor the feed directly to what "appeals" to the user now. It's all just drip-feeding dopamine to the user base so they stay engaged for the longest possible time.

> but neural-networks can separate them in practice

That's a massive stretch.

They are able separate them sort of, but they are nowhere close the original quality of the individual tracks.

IMO LLM writing hasn't significantly improved since maybe GPT4. It still does the exact same "It's not x, it's actually y" tropes and many of the other common LLM smells. Most LLM generated text is immediately discernible as such.

Yes, they only do SVGs.

I'm actually glad they're focusing on code, and code adjacent tooling only.

That would be bandcamp, where the free/preview player doesn't have a volume control but the library player does.

It's the NotebookLM podcast generator voices, it just does it for you once you add all the data to NLM.

My first thought as well, there is (or was) also Cisco Jabber which I wouldn't touch with a ten feet pole. It's generally a good idea to Google the name of the software you're about to publish online at least once.
