What a terrible UI on that website. Constantly clicking "Next"! Yuk. And every page required zooming in and out to make it fit on my screen. For a tech focused comic, you'd think the author could run it through an ImageMagick

The changes I've seen in the past year go far beyond what could be explained by a "bigger dataset" alone. Her brain processing is changing on the most fundamental level. Her ability to focus on a task has improved massively.

Open source drivers don't work the way proprietary drivers do. For example, the Rage 128 from 1998 is still receiving updates in Mesa.[1] Before spreading unfounded conspiracy theories, you should do some research. [1] https:/&#x

I also worked on LabVIEW for a couple of years for our assembly line QA testing. In our case, all of our programs fit on a screen with only a few needing SubVIs. As long as the programs are relatively simple or are amenable to subroutines,

No, not even close. 20 quadrillion calculations per second= 20 petaFLOPS. A Nvidia DGX-2 is only 2 petaFLOPS and that "AI" supercomputer costs $399,000. Far cry from $6,000. You are just hand waving to try to defend a definitive

If anything hiding live bookmarks was a favor to RSS. Anyone who was introduced to RSS through live bookmarks would think RSS was a horrible idea. It was the worst RSS implementation I've ever tried or experienced.
