Every article is inherently biased due to the fact that there are inclusions and omissions. This is just a fact.

You're injecting your own personal view into GP's statement by adding a lot of weight into the distinction between the words "critical" and "incendiary" and "neutral", when GP made a very neutral and not as charged statement.

They literally mentioned Her 2013 at the end of their comment.

Do you think asking any LLM in the next 100 years to "write a Python script that generates an OS" will work?

It's a 25 point policy, and half of it is not exactly the same as Democratic Socialists in the US.

It's very obviously fictional.

That doesn't make it any more reasonable to accept as an explanation.

I don't see why the miraculous hypothesis gets to get away with not explaining why and how the miracle was done. Why should we reject it being a fraud just because we don't know how it was done, while accepting a miracle which we also don't know how was done?

Every version of 2048 I've played spawns 2s and 4s. 4s are more rare.

It's very hard to take this article seriously when I'm flashbanged with one of the worst AI illustrations I've seen in my life right off the bat. Did the author even look at the image before publishing this?

I wish there was a way to leverage my M1 Mac to use this on my iPhone Pro 14. Like a private connection between my phone and computer to use the more powerful chip, even if it's limited to when I'm at home on the same Wi-Fi. Latency shouldn't be too bad.

But I think Apple is going to limit iPhones from doing something like that to boost sales of the 15 Pro and the future gens.

There are more options than those two. Pebble watches were built open enough to allow Rebble to get developed and let Pebble watches be used to this day, despite being officially unsupported. A lot of mainstream Android phones support LineageOS. A lot of older iPhones with older iOS versions can be jailbroken and used to this day with tweaks.

Just tried this a bit on a 14 Pro and a hard press and a soft press have no difference in how long it takes to enter force touch.

I think you can only 3D touch on other keys. If you have one of the newer iPhones without 3D touch you have to long press the spacebar.

Your comments reek of pseudosciency pop evolutionary biology bullshit. Human behavior is way more complicated than you would hope. Explanations like these that make intuitive sense but are not backed by any real science have been used to condone harmful behavior in the past. We can, and always end up doing better.

Also diamonds are not rare. Look into the history of the diamond industry. It didn't spawn because society needed to use something for "mating rituals", they advertised their way to become that.
