My dogs know the difference between going out pants and around the house pants. We also have to say preambulate when talking about walks unless we want to excite the dogs.

It's a side effect of the "no algorithm" philosophy. Without anything to suggest what you might like generating high amounts of new content let's you dominate the feed. News is easy to generate on a daily basis.

The thoughtful channel that puts out a video once every two weeks gets on the feed once every two weeks. Then low effort garbage like man carrying things gets on the feed every day.

They need to at least let users block channels from their feed.

It can't be worse than some of the netflix translations.

I just watched Apothecary Diaries with the wife. The subtitles are basicly fanfiction. I know characters reply wakarimasu a lot but you don't need to make up dialog. The new stuff often conflicts with the actual story.

That's stuff created by the government however there are also fair use provisions carved out for the government. I've had military guys claim the govt has complete fair use which I doubt.

I know congress can ignore copyright for debate and argument. So a member of congress pass around copies of material to other members of congress regardless of copyright.

I'm also pretty sure the government can't legally start streaming all the Disney movies to federal employees without permission. I'm not sure where the line between these twoexamples is however.

Isn't the US govt exempt from copyright or is it just congress?

So depending on why you might be able to train it. If you don't have a lazy eye and have good vision you may want to look into it.

If your brain is just not fusing two good images there is a good chance you can train it to do so. Having done experiments in this field I can tell you it makes a measurable difference in performance.

A good read on the subject is below. The part where she first sees a tree in 3D is a good example of what you are missing.

That's a much latter version. AFIK The Sun, Moon, and Talia is the earliest. Relevant bit below.

After a time, it happened by chance that a king was out hunting and passed that way. One of his falcons escaped from his hand and flew into the house by way of one of the windows. It did not come when called, so the king had one of his party knock at the door, believing the palace to be inhabited. Although he knocked for a length of time, nobody answered, so the king had them bring a vintner's ladder, for he himself would climb up and search the house, to discover what was inside. Thus he climbed up and entered, and looked in all the rooms, and nooks, and corners, and was amazed to find no living person there. At last he came to the salon, and when the king beheld Talia, who seemed to be enchanted, he believed that she was asleep, and he called her, but she remained unconscious. Crying aloud, he beheld her charms and felt his blood course hotly through his veins. He lifted her in his arms, and carried her to a bed, where he gathered the first fruits of love. Leaving her on the bed, he returned to his own kingdom, where, in the pressing business of his realm, he for a time thought no more about this incident.

Now after nine months Talia delivered two beautiful children, one a boy and the other a girl. In them could be seen two rare jewels, and they were attended by two fairies, who came to that palace, and put them at their mother's breasts. Once, however, they sought the nipple, and not finding it, began to suck on Talia's fingers, and they sucked so much that the splinter of flax came out. Talia awoke as if from a long sleep, and seeing beside her two priceless gems, she held them to her breast, and gave them the nipple to suck, and the babies were dearer to her than her own life. Finding herself alone in that palace with two children by her side, she did not know what had happened to her; but she did notice that the table was set, and food and drink were brought in to her, although she did not see any attendants.

A portion of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has collapsed after a large boat collided with it early on Tuesday morning, sending multiple vehicles into the water.

At about 1.30am, a vessel crashed into the bridge, catching fire before sinking and causing multiple vehicles to fall into the water below, according to a video posted on X.

“All lanes closed both directions for incident on I-695 Key Bridge. Traffic is being detoured,” the Maryland Transportation Authority posted on X.

Matthew West, a petty officer first class for the coastguard in Baltimore, told the New York Times that the coastguard received a report of an impact at 1.27am ET. West said the Dali, a 948ft (29 metres) Singapore-flagged cargo ship, had hit the bridge, which is part of Interstate 695.
