depending on what they watch and how much time watching, youtube might actually lose money on a premium user. I imagine it's not easy to watch enough be worth $12 dollars worth of ads in one month tho...

why should US taxpayers subsidize a service for which non-US citizens could get a benefit from without paying any taxes? "The gov't should pay for it" is not a solution to private problems.

Your individual willingness is irrelevant. There are not enough people with your willingness to make this mechanism work by itself. So the choice is either to have the content exist, but rely on ads, or not have the content exist. And it&#x

The big difference with LLM is that you don't have to have a conherant and logical thought, and the LLM will "fix" that for you by morphing it into the nearest coherent expression and show you the result. Presumably, the LLM

I suppose if it is used directly as heat, it is more efficient(?) than having to charge a battery to power a heat pump (aircon). But this heat storage is a single purpose device, where as a battery is multi-purpose (you could also run a was

hah, you might be right! It was something to do with requiring all these new features being delivered/tested at google to include some social thing.

not to mention that i think there was some google+ initiative back then (i might've gotten the timing wrong tho). There's some office/department political machinations in the background, and the fallout of that ruined wave.

the grammar of a programming language is just as well defined. And the defined-ness of the "game" isn't required for my argument. Your concept of thinking is the classic retoric - as soon as some "ai" manages to ach

is it more important for a chess engine to be able to think? Or is it able to win by brute force through searching a sufficient outcome? If the outcome is indistinguisable from using "thinking" as the process rather than brute for

why is the process important? If they can continuously trial and error their way into a good output/result, then it's a fine outcome.

afaict, the thermal battery isn't for storing electricity but heat - something that's not really "needed" in australia, as there's no heating utility transport there. Turning this heat back into electricity is ineff

at the beginning, they "charged" $1 (or £3 as you said), but this "fee" was often just waived. You never really had to pay it to use whatsapp. The money was there as a form of advertising, to differentiate whatsapp from

no, they cannot do it to all their customers, but they dont need to. The threat of having it done to you makes you compliant. It's why consumer laws need to exist, and need to have teeth.

it's why you take them to small claims court. Unfortunately, the terms and conditions have made sure they are clear of small claims by forcing you to do arbitration, which is more expensive for you than them (in relative terms, unless

This is why arbitration on consumers should be illegal - aka, arbitration should only be legal when both entities are approximately similar in power/capability. The whole reason for existence of courts is to ensure that parties with un
