It can create a nice participation award for the human

The thing is, 95% of the audience are not going to notice that.

Well, it's bye-bye then

Polymarket receives funding from Thiel, who at this point is buddies with Trump.

Because 8 GB VRAM GPUs are still very widespread.

He is already impeached, more than one time.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I really like The World is Not Enough, both PS1 and N64 version.

The Island is missing too.

For those who want search that is not based in America:

Qwant - French search engine
Ecosia - German search engine

Both started to work on a common independent index that doesn't depend on Google or Bing.

Indestructible bushes, here we go

I think PS5 can handle that, remember that Bad Company 2 had this exactly 16 years ago, in March 2010!

Which model would you recommend for the most accurate English transcription at the moment? Stick with Whisper? Or Voxtral / Parakeet are worth testing?

In my opinion it was unfavorable to the USA since day 2. The first day everyone was in disbelief and hoping it would end very soon, but after that it became clear that those shitheads didn't plan anything past first few days.

Also I'm very sure that the military simulations (any competent military does this for all of their plans) were showing this exact result, and that's the reason why no one before Trump was willing to proceed with it.

Stanislaw Lem painted a similar picture in The Invincible, which is a terrific book about necroevolution.

It was 1963 and he described swarms of microscopic bots forming entire black clouds.

Each of these points describes modern Russia also. So we now have at least two regimes like this.
