Is that true? Windows 7 OS updates ended in 2020, while Chrome continued to update until M109 in 2023[1].

You can join a Google Meet meeting without a Google account if the meeting creator enables the “Anyone with the link can join” setting, or if they accept you when you click the link.

Yes. https://chromestatus.com/feature/4592567062626304 links to the implementation bug at crbug.com/1026287 which had been closed as a duplicate of crbug.com/1333988 which has been fixed.

I'm unconvinced.

The author seems to be stating that because llms have generated "interesting" statements that all of Chomsky's approaches are invalidated. This seems to assume that the llm isn't somehow incorporating Chomsky's generative grammar system into the model, which would be a very hard thing to prove.

Also, the author's stated proof contains flaws. Take for example page 16:

Generate ten other sentences like "colorless green ideas sleep furiously": Purple fluffy clouds dream wildly. Blue glittery unicorns jump excitedly.

The author claims that the llm has completed this task successfully, completely ignoring the example's pairwise incompatible terms (colorless green, and sleep furiously), and accepting that "purple fluffy" is equivalently meaningless. It is not, and the model has clearly failed.

How much is "surprisingly inexpensive"?

Font sizes get scaled in the browser. So when you ask for a 9px font, the browser treats that as 9px in virtual pixels, then maps it into 18px physical pixels.

It mostly works, but gets weird when you have non-scaled content in the design.

Thanks for posting the bug links.

Also wanted to point out that the user feedback in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249645 is not the way we should treat browser developers. (Not blaming the parent - I assume this is some other user being..... cranky?)

It sounds like they've taken the existing Type-1 cgm plus self-adjusting pump and used it on type-2 diabetics. Solid medical study. Hardly a breakthrough, IMO.

Origin predates computer RPG's. It's from tabletop role playing games, and stands for "non player characters".

NPCs are the characters that the Dungeon Master (DM) creates to guide and influence the story, but the player characters (PCs) are the focus of the story. It's collaborative storytelling about the PCs adventure. An NPC is, by definition, not the hero.

The linked article doesn't give a lot of detail on the specific complaints or what you would need to do to make those sites accessible. Do you have any information on that?

I'm curious here and would love to hear thoughts on:

A) Youtube's terms of service clearly state "not for kids under 13"[1]

B) Youtube has produced a product for the younger age market [2]

C) folks in this thread are reasonably complaining that full youtube isn't appropriate for children.

Am I missing something here? (Like maybe your child was using youtubekids and still got the unacceptable content?)

Democracy has some intentional opacity though. Consider the impact of making your personal voting choice public.

AFAIK, nobody has ever tried that because of the dangers of vote buying and coercion. Essentially, gaming the system.

(I don't think this proves anything! Simply wanted to suggest that comparing search to democracy doesn't significantly change the analysis wrt opacity.)

Odd. When I try that search[1] I'm seeing good results. There's a onebox telling me how thick a suit I need for different temperatures, followed by a bunch of articles on the topic.
