I can't image that ad blockers or ReVanced has any real impact on YouTube. I'm the only one I know using either. So that's 1 in about 300 maybe?

But aren't there some differences? LE doesn't verify identitiy. Though I'm not saying that the big CEs are that thorough.

I really like this video [1] from 3blue1brown, where he proposes to think about significance as a way to update the probability. One positive test (or in this analog a study) updates the probability by X % and thus you nearly always need mo

It's a civil matter, but yes. Sadly, courts are slow and the whole story was "there might have been plagiarism in her thesis". Even as traditional media started to explain the story as baseless, social media is a different be

It isn't. A right wind millionaire and his media outlet started a fake campaign against the potential judge. Other media and social media jumped on it as well and the "normal" conservative party was "concerned". A l

I just can't understand McDonald's long term strategy. I can either go to them or to a locally owned burger place near me, and spend about the same. Waiting times are the same, and every other metric is worse at McDonald's. I

Any study which uses epigenetic clocks can be discarded. There is to my knowledge no test which produces reliably measurements which don't have big error bars. The only conclusion this study can really make is: Ozempic changes the &#x2

I applaud the idea to mark videos as real, but somehow I don't think it matters. People disagree on facts and reality and ignore contradictions or proof to the contrary. If fact-cheking is already used as a slur or dog whistle in some

I think it really depends on what operations you are applying. Having one succinct named variable like $slug with a few simple pipeline calls like in the example is "self-documenting" and easy to read. However, some lambdas and no

Elon probably can't accept that his Cybertruck design sucks, so he is slowly forcing the design language onto other models.

I tried using ChatGPT for Typst a few weeks ago. I had it open and didn't want to search the documentation. The output was totally wrong it, functions which didn't exist and syntax errors. Your mileage may vary.

That is how I understood it the first time. Nevertheless, I think it shows that it is just a stupid question. Beside the fact that an LLM is obviously not a therapist.

A DHS post from 2025 is not reliable information, just reading the headline should be enough to notice that. The number of unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. has been more or less stable for the last 20 years: https://www

I am amazed at Googles ineptitude here. Wouldn't you put some kind of warning or notification in place to notice an unusual amount of user reports and turn this feature off if necessary or block it in a specific region? This is a servi

I think survivorship bias and nostalgia are bigger factors. Besides that, there are many more game releases now than ever before, so it is much harder to land a hit which will “survive” over the years.
