It is absolutely astounding to me that such behaviours are both legal and tolerated in the so-called "land of the free". Astounding. You need to prove that your money is innocent? Pulling up bank statements on the jet bridge?

Seconding the other comments here, I don't think I've ever had a tab freeze on my phone (OnePlus 7). Might be a device problem?

What's broken about Firefox mobile? I use the browser exclusively on my android phone (it's even set as the default webview); I don't think I have any notable pain points.

Without trying to sound flippant - what do you define AI as? Things like autofocus in your video cameras or automatic gain control or noise cancellation in your audio pipeline could also be considered AI. Do you remove those too? What about

Europe did exactly this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Passengers_Rights_Regulati... Incidentally, I find flying in the EU to be far more pleasant than in the USA. Perhaps it is related.

Within my community (Academic) there has also been a bit of a push to hold conferences elsewhere as well. Not because of safety, just because of cost. It's a growing fortune to hold an event in SF (both event space and then hotels or A

I just got the email as well. Pretty disappointed that they're doing such a short wind-down time, we were actively using the codex models for a number of experimental platforms in our research group.

I have a Ph.D. and can build on this in the other direction. As this article accepts in its own statistics, it is entirely possible to move up university rankings, as long as you don't simply rely on the weight of your degree. I starte
