I think that the idea is that by setting a strict deadline after which women can’t have children or marry, they are forced to start a family now or risk regretting it later. That’s the only way I can make sense of this bizarre scenario.

It’s off by default, but activated when you end your search query with a question mark. That option can be turned off.
I wonder how it works with pensions. In my EU country, you get about 25% extra on top of your gross salary that goes into a private pension fund, most or all of it paid by your employer. I know that the US has 401(k), of which I don’t know the details, but I believe it requires that the employee pays half and the company matches the amount. At the end of the ride, I wonder what your options are as a foreigner to cash out. If you choose to invest in your own country, the full amount will be paid from your gross salary. This is something that you need to take into account to get a clear picture of the net benefits.
Those net benefits should be weighed against having 25-35 paid holiday days, unlimited paid sick days, paid parental leave, social security benefits, etc. It might still be worth it, but my guess is that it’s more interesting for European countries with lower wages, as in that case the extra money might outweigh the loss of some benefits.
Though I’m sure that US companies are in many cases required to have a legal entity in the foreign country and must comply with local law, so then most of the benefits will remain.
But 2K and 4K do refer to the horizontal resolution. There’s more than one resolution that’s referred to as 2K, for example 2048 x 1080 DCI 2K, but also 1920 x 1080 full HD, since it’s also almost 2000 pixels wide. The total number of pixels is in the millions, not thousands.
For 4K some common resolutions are 4096 x 2160 DCI 4K and 3840 x 2160 UHD, which both have a horizontal resolution of about 4000 pixels.
Relax, I’m probably worried just as much about climate change and waste of resources as you are, if not more. My take was an ironic take.
Thought for 95 seconds
Rearranging the letters in "they are so great" can form the word ORION.
That’s from the screenshot where they asked the o1 model about the cryptic tweet. There’s certainly utility in these LLMs, but it made me chuckle thinking about how much compute power was spent coming up with this nonsense.
Edit: since this is the internet and there are no non-verbal cues, maybe I should make it clear that this “chuckle” is an ironic chuckle, not a careless or ignorant chuckle. It’s pointing out how inefficient and wasteful a LLM can be, not meant to signal that wasting resources is funny or that it doesn’t matter. I thought that would be clear, but you can read it both ways.
It’s called Markdown. If you know how to use it, it’s very convenient, but if not, it can cause all kinds of unexpected effects. It’s also the reason that **test** is formatted as test. You can often force new lines by ending the line with two spaces or a backslash character. Let’s test:
This is a line
And this is another line
In this case it was a backslash character. So what I typed is:
This is a line\\ And this is another line
With spaces:
This is a line
And this is another line
I use that one on iOS. In Firefox I use the native functionality (the cookiebanners.service.mode flag). See https://community.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/firefox-cookie-banner-handling/. I also set cookiebanners.ui.desktop.enabled to true to make this setting appear in the settings menu.
Using English is the only way that all my colleagues are able to read it, but if it’s just meant for you, or only for Spanish speaking people, I’d say why not.
That’s not as effective, since it can’t block anything that’s hosted from a hostname that also serves regular content without also blocking the regular content. It also can’t trick websites into thinking that nothing is blocked and it can’t apply cosmetic rules. I use it for my devices, but in browsers I supplement it with uBlock Origin (or whatever is available in that browser).
I agree. I think people might have the idea that the states dictates the contents, but that’s not at all how it works in well functioning democracies. It’s there to serve the public interest: to have a relatively unbiased news outlet that’s accessible to all and without (or with little) commercial interests. It coexists with commercial news outlets.
My Garmin also shows the shape of the graph, but to be honest I don’t trust it at that resolution. I just keep track of the moving average, which is the main value that is shown. I do agree that that kind of data shouldn’t be hidden from the user.
