Alternative title for the articles thumbnail: Philip Morris releases worlds largest cigarette filter in an effort to convince regulators that smoking is not a health risk.
That's not something you can tell from the numbers given, because it depends on their total spending, not their losses. Maybe they spent 50B/year and made 40B/year back, leaving them with 10B in losses. I that case reducing the spending by 20% to 40B would make them even
Is the "Palestinian Authority police" Israeli? Because from the article it doesn't sound like it - neither does the name tbh.
From the article (emphasis mine)
[...] local Palestinian Authority police are aware and keep files on him and other homosexuals, blackmailing them into working as spies and informants
gay and trans Palestinians
Hot take: I don't believe Gaza is progressive enough to have a large population of openly gay or trans people.
Not sure why you're making this a LGBTQ thing anyways, mistreating POWs and seemingly intentionally maximizing civilian losses should be bad enough by themselves.

They removed JPEG XL support from chrome. It was behind a feature flag previously.
(At least that's what I gathered from reading the screenshot.)
LLMs work by always predicting the next most likely token and LLM detection works by checking how often the next most likely token was chosen. You can tell the LLM to choose less likely tokens more often (turn up the heat parameter) but you will only get gibberish out if you do. So no, there is not.
Not necessarily: If they came out right now and said that games run great, it might build expectations that they can't meet.
The browser does not influence your download/upload speeds, with the exception of Tor, because it sends your traffic through a series of VPNs.
I don't know what you measured, but it's not the difference between browsers.
If it's a well-known artist, looking them up on Wikipedia is a good way to get an idea what genre they make. A website that does this for all songs individually would probably be AI-powered and wrong most of the time.
An unpopular opinion can have more or less thought put into it and be genuinely interesting and get up- or downvoted accordingly. Just like a photograph in a photography sub can have more or less thought put into it and an interesting or boring subject and get up- or downvoted accordingly.
Genuine photograph and the people downvote it... In a community named "photography".
Sounds like utter nonsense doesn't it
Yes, because infrastructure, subsidies, education and social spending still need to happen and not paying your taxes will erode those things long before they stop a genocide. If you don't care about getting in trouble with your government, there are more effective things that can be done.
Real men use non-lethal glide bombs.
Mind you, I'm not saying vision pro is not promising or useful. I'm saying, that in a corporate environment, it's very hard to find a business case where you'll be able to justify the >3500€ price tag to your manager.
The best business case I can think of right now, would be for development teams that want to get started developing VR apps. Likely that's also what all of these companies bought one for.
But you state a lot of things as fact, so I should ask, have you used one at all?
Unfortunately I have not. It hasn't been released where I live yet. The closest I have gotten is my Quest 3.
You dismiss "editing videos" as if that's not an incredibly useful to be able to do that.
It is really useful. But if you're already editing videos professionally, it needs to be an upgrade over what you're using right now. An upgrade big enough that it makes back the cost of adjusting your workflow and the 4000€ investment.
Classical VR use cases like simulators and 3D design are better served by competitors. Most of the software runs on Windows or Linux, and you'll likely want the most ludicrously powerful graphics card(s) you can fit into a computer, which an M3(?) chip is notably not. Also proper controllers are generally useful for professional VR applications.
But at least it's good for productivity, right? Wrong. For productivity purposes, it's effectively an iPad Pro with an infinitely large screen, awful battery life, that is somewhat bulky to transport and costs at least 4000$ by the time you have a keyboard and a reasonable amount of storage. And all of that for a device on which you, as of now, can effectively only write emails and edit videos on.
Supposedly Nvidia has become a lot better on Linux lately. They finally dropped their weird framebuffer API or whatever (the one that was the reason for horrible Wayland compatibility and also caused a heated Linus Torvalds moment), and I think they even made their linux drivers open source.
