I still don’t understand the “whiskers”. What dataset are they using to train? I’ve literally not seen them until the prevalence of genAI.

Yes. Yes. Totally not the NSA.


The ones who wouldn’t be persuaded by peer reviewed studies anyway, because they did their research.


If I were the NSA running example.com, I too would say it’s “totally harmless, for realsies, trust us”.


Gemini is complete garbage in Android Auto
It also can’t read labels on gmaps. Can’t read people’s “nickname” field in contacts (there are so many Roberts). And can’t access or write notes without also requiring access to my emails (hell no).
Those are the three things I use AA for, and it’s objectively worse at every single one of them.
elements of the natural world in a symbolic manner
What about elements of HTML? It also has symbols.
The current legacy code I’m dealing with is full of these:

No it isn’t.
The whole point of partitions is so you can have multiple things on the same drive. Be them data, swap, or… yes, operating systems.


50s = just under a minute


From the receiving end of the needle, having two streams would likely double the chance of errors happening. Even the best phlebotomist has a bad day. Also, veins often move when you try to stab them.
Not to mention any blood-related equipment are single-use. So the needle, tubes, containers, they all go to a special bin (I hope to be recycled). Doubling up would unnecessarily increase the cost/effort.
I would highly recommend going to your nearest centre and learn by donating yourself! 😀


There’s only one needle. So the machine works in multiple suck-return cycles (separation happens simultaneously during return). Roughly every 5-10 minutes. The final return will include a bag of saline to replace the plasma they took.
Which is why one or two warnings are not usually a major concern, as long as the following cycles are okay. But usually after 3 (in my personal experience), they just say, “not your day, come back in two weeks hey?”


No medical background, but a regular donor here. Plasma donations involve taking your blood out, separating the plasma, and returning everything else in a continuous process.
This other article about one of the victims indicated that the machine issued 5 high-pressure alerts about this return process, all of which were ignored.
It’s not unusual to get an alert or two. Sometimes there’s a kink in the tubing, or an improperly positioned needle. Sometimes I fall asleep and the pressure drops.
Properly trained staff should know by the nature and frequency of the alerts to terminate the process. In that particular incident, even the machine told them to terminate, but was ignored.
Edit: where I am, for-profit ‘donations’ isn’t a thing. And I’ve never had anything but the highest standards of care. Other commenters are probably right that capitalism is a contributing factor to these incidents.


RAM prices exploding only means Apple takes a tiny hit to their profit margin per device, considering how inflated they were in the first place.


Not just folders, every icon has 4-way configurable swipe. I’ve gone a little swipe crazy now. Who needs folders when you can launch 5 different things by swiping a single icon…


It’s called a cloaca, you uneducated swine!
