When the term started out, There was nothing called United States (As a country or its current culture/s). And I am not sure if this happens outside the US anyway.

What would be a huge news for me is if the CAF which is probably competing with FIFA on the corruptest sports organization come in support.

Author here (I didn't submit the post though)

Actually I did not solve it. I find the alternatives is worse. Google News seems better but my news reading is not a main activity.

Also I live ib Switzerland and don't speak French and I hate when websites like Google always assumes that (being logged solves it but then we have privacy issues too)

Nowadays I just go to the arabic version of Aljazeera and skim the headlines for quick overview on what is happening.

To be honest, the "mathematically sound" is a widely used jargon used in many academic fields (physics, mathematics from first hand experience). It is also more meaningful than people who would use "nice function" to mean a function that follow some criteria in their head (and you would need to guess what these will be).

Yes, people will usually post or draw a bicycle right to left which is going to ve opposite of what normally is drawn. I tried the prompt in arabic for many models and I don't recall any adjusting it based on that difference at least culturally speaking.

one USD is about 362 Zimbabwean dollars. So it would still be about ~53 trillion dollars which is more than the nominal GDP of US and China combined.

elashri — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 12:21:11 +0000

CERN stopped hiring non member or associate member states citizens for some time now. Except in very rare circumstances, This applies to US citizens as much as Russians too.

You might disagree on that but we all know that it was political pressure.

I have no knowledge in the field. But it would be nice if the article compared the raw prices of usual bare metal offering vs cloud because I am not sure it would support the claim that the egress would be the highest cost.

Of course it could be but a quantitative perspective for an average game would have been much better.

Are the ads static or appear in a way that would make them recognized easily so that a uBlock Origin rules remove them?

I think it is a step in the right direction for bunny to be a competitive for the people on hobby/self hosting. But I think that having a free tier for CDN is what makes cloudflare attractive (Among other things).

I think if nothing happens from the government, then this would be a very good example of the benefit of keeping your mouse shut especially if you are lying to get some hype like Anthropic did for months.
