If I, as a regular Google user ask in the search "is this search powered by Gemini?", the AI generated result is in the affirmative.

"Yes, this search is powered by a customized version of the Gemini model for its generative AI features."

Based on that, I'm not sure how it is reasonable to claim that Gemini App has a legal term that is exclusive of its use in search.

Amusingly, it refuses to answer if i ask "is this search powered by Gemini app?"

As someone who lives on grid, but barely... in that I lose power many times per year and have had week+ outage's.

I believe you are mostly right with the addition of * shift power consumption to summer months. * wood heat in the winter and electric air conditioning in the summer. * electric-expensive hobbies in the summer (e.g. welding) * with low winter consumption, multi day battery operation becomes feasible * small dual fuel generator and a propane tank to recharge the battery bank in emergencies and extended outages with little solar production

The article is long, but from TFA

The court ruled that the museum’s revenue, business model, and supposed threats from competition and counterfeiting are irrelevant to the public’s right to access its scans, a dramatic rejection of the museum’s position...

Why the disbelief? You are literally describing the process of species extinction due to failure to adapt. This should not be a new concept.

I would interpret your statement of "the voices are real" as equivalent to the statement that "the voices are a real experienced phenomenon".

But you seem to be describing them as distinct entities. If they are distinct entities, what are they it what attributes do they have?

The summary text explicitly called out why that would be unethical in this case.

I've been using Linux a lot longer than puppy has existed, and puppy never came across my radar. Don't assume differences from your own experience are due to age/newness.
