Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter
AI is funded solely by sunk cost fallacy at this point. I wonder how long it will be before investments start getting pulled back because of a lack of ROI. I can already feel the sentiment towards AI and it getting pushed in everything turning negative amongst consumers recently.

It's you who misread. They said "there's a little hope", and not "there's little hope"

Training Indian Special Forces
This is a demonstration for the public and TV on Republic Day at the national parade. It's mostly performative and is meant to be exaggerated and over the top because that's what's expected at this parade. Millions of families wake up early morning on Jan 26th every year to watch these performances. They even have performances from school children from different cultures in India, an air show, giant missiles, etc.

ill be at your house in 10 minutes. how will you entertain me?
I have two gaming PCs, a Nintendo Switch, PS5, and a Steam Deck. If gaming is not your thing, I am a coffee snob, so I can entertain you with my coffee brewing gear or we can dial in different roasts together.
If even coffee is not your thing, I am also a hobbyist woodworker, so maybe we can build something together.
If all else fails, you can play with my dog, relax in one of my 3 hammocks, mess with my cats, we can go ultralight backpacking, you can play the piano, we can make scented candles or soaps, or I can teach you programming. I also have lots of books!
Welcome to my ADHD life!

Just.....why?
Although I don't have one that's smart, I have researched enough into electric toothbrushes to know that this title is exaggerating. The app is just to store your brushing information. People like tracking data about themselves as it helps with positive reinforcement. The app just allows you to see your analytics much like an app to count your steps or activity levels. It in no way "disables" your brushing experience.

I don't dislike LLMs, I dislike people who treat them as anything more than an advanced search engine and stupidly give them all their confidential data. Seen it happen too much at work.

Imagine letting a stranded stranger stay with your family and they make a public joke about screwing you

Yes but they were insinuating until that sentence. It was a way to grab the reader's attention so they would keep reading.

So this actually backfired on us. Once the cat grass was finished, my dumbass cat decided to test every plant to check if they taste like cat grass.

The secret ingredient

I agree, but time and time again, it has been proven that banning people from somewhere on the internet is not the right way of doing things. It makes them want to get in even more. Especially with teenagers who are going through a rebellious phase while building their identity. It should be on the parents to educate their children better and set parental controls (if needed) at home.

Same thing happened with OCD as well. It's just natural changes in language. This one will pass as well and there will be a new word in a few years

Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why
Do you live in a sketchy area? That hasn't been my experience at all. We had 90 kids in total knock on our door yesterday for trick or treat!

Strongest Evidence Yet of Alien Life Found on Exoplanet K2-18b
It's just chemicals discovered on this planet that are usually produced biologically on Earth. This doesn't mean there's life on that planet. It could just mean that there are other methods of producing these chemicals other than biologically. Some scientists aren't even sure that these are the correct chemicals. Planet (124 LY) is too far away to send a probe, so it will all be through calculation.

Usually people have something in the background on a couch like a TV or music that can help lull them to sleep. Beds usually require you to listen to your thoughts and shut down for the day before sleeping. I think it really comes down to your habits and how you've conditioned yourself. I have no issues in falling asleep as soon as I hit the bed even if it's for a nap.

I think this must be an American thing, because I have actually never known anyone who doesn't own an electric kettle. It's just so much more efficient!
