I actually have been to a gas station in france a few years ago (like in the late 2010s) whose terminal only accepted magnetic stripe. I was extremely surprised, i really thought they didn't exist anymore

It's an introductory book though? I don't think it aims at being comprehensive That said, i do agree that more on transformers would be nice since they're becoming quite central in every field of machine learning. Prompt engi

Even in the summer I still remember the first time I saw the milky way. Can't believe I was completely unaware the sky was supposed to look like that

I'd argue that boiling water (or water-based liquids) is something we encounter pretty often in day to day life (eg. while cooking, brewing tea, ), making it a reasonable reference

So every time the image is served, the website is hurt in a marginal, indirect way (-1 user, a bit less revenue stream), while one unrelated user is hurt in a substantial way (somewhere from pretty disgusted to mildly traumatized) Does nobo

No comment on how instead of retaliating against the thieving website, he's retaliating against the –probably unknowing– users that just happened on those websites through Google? (Some among whom are probably children)

Inflation is huge. Doesn't change the fact that compared to anything similar you can get in the US, a €1 baguette is vastly cheaper

Why build new houses in Western countries when they're mostly below replacement rates anyway?

Isn't there a limit on url length?

If I worked on that I would call it "project Pinocchio"
