A great example is the shadcn site

Shows you how good it looks out of the box on the first page.

And how do we know it's not another FBI/CIA honeypot?

The data on social media harms is mixed at best. We know for a fact fast food, cosmetic ads for girls, are strictly more harmful.

This is nothing more than speech control under the guise of "won't someone please think of the children"

So are we banning all advertising to children? Or only banning them from communicating and posting with each other?

If it's about monetizing child attention not about speech control why isn't every single toy ad, food ad, movie ad, also banned?

The island of Bali has outsized impact from all the tourism.

They defamed Dominion so much on their "news" programs that they have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars. Great "news" source.

Look if you'd rather trust Fox News than Wikipedia feel free. None of those 4 sources are much convincing of your point.

The only specific example from that nypost article is about Fox News not being allowed as a source. Fox news has been found in court to be guilty of defamation and has argued in court that it cannot be considered news, only entertainment.

So do you want reality or reality TV on Wikipedia? Should we consider Ancient Aliens as a source?

It's always a warning sign where the only thing I know about a CEO is how many podcasts and media events they do each week, and nothing about their business.

The sad part is sometimes just switching languages/locales on your phone (i.e. changing the language from US English to British English) fixes this as it's all the code checks.

Do the workflows support voice-to-voice models like openai's realtime? Or if something like that exists I'd be curios.

Just looking at this makes me feel like a noob.

I tried installing CS 1.6 20 years after launch roughly and it was pointless trying to compete.

I had subscribed to Jacobin a while back in the hopes of balancing out my Economist subscription's viewpoints but wow the quality was not there.

I don't know if I'm missing something about the Newyorker but every article I've tried to read loses me in a similar chaos of literary references and excessive thesaurus usage.

I can't tell if I'm illiterate or it's overhyped.

I can only hope the models will be sophisticated enough and willing to explain their reasoning to us.
