After this happened, GitHub added a Download button to their for preview pages. So they themselves considered it was enough of a problem/inconvenience to not have a download button.

Mercedes-Benz debuts turquoise exterior lights to indicate the car is self-driving | A visual indicator for other drivers

To play the devil's advocate: early cars needed a guy with a flag im front of them because people were used to horses and carriages and not automobiles. After a while that stopped being a thing.
But yeah, self driving cars are not really ready.

Wikitionary is vastly underrated and underutilized
Language is not controlled by dictionary writers. Dictionaries are descriptive only, they just list what words people are already using. In some countries, central organizations do try to be prescriptive and decide how the languages should be spoken, but that doesn't usually work.

Made me laugh, but strictly speaking, CO2 is fungible (interchangeable), but human lives aren't.

Why AI detectors think the US Constitution was written by AI
Reply in thread
Constitution is a text that appears many times on the internet. ChatGPT's training set probably has multiple copies of it. So it's likely ChatGPT will generate it. Therefore, the detectors are likely to flag it as AI-generated. That's what I got from it, but I also found it difficult to parse. Maybe someone can correct me on this.

It's great that Linux is a feasible alternative nowadays. But it's not like you are using Ubuntu 10.04 from 2010, right? OSs get outdated and stop being supported. That's just the way it is.

James Webb telescope confirms there is something seriously wrong with our understanding of the universe

This problem is not AT ALL about the geometrical shape of the expansion of the universe. It's about 2 different formulas that should give the same result for the rate of the universe, but give different results. I don't blame you, the article title is extremely misleading.

Steam On Linux(1.96%) Usage Spikes To Nearly 2% In July, Larger Marketshare Than Apple macOS(1.84%)
I'm not seeing anyone comment on the last paragraph of the article, so I'll paste it here.
With the SteamOS / Steam Deck monthly numbers not showing any magnificent gains, I am curious over this 0.5% increase for Linux gaming overall and whether it's genuine.
The likely explanation is when looking at the demographics and seeing Steam by Chinese users dropping 3.4% while the English usage picked up by 3.4%. Chinese gamers and reporting differences there have previously vastly swayed Steam statistics in prior months.
So this might just be a maths artifact.

You can just feel your way around. If all the buttons have the same shape, sure, you can't, but they don't have the same shape. For example, if one button has a little raised nub, like the F key in keyboards, you know immediately which button your finger is on.

That was way too recent. And it wouldn't affect the users of GPT directly, only the training, which wasn't using super-recent data to begin with anyway.

"Oh GP, it's so windy! I have to hold the steering wheel sooo tight! I'm struggling so much!"
EDIT: Leclerc also mentioned the wind was very very strong in the cooldown room. I guess Max was not being facetious about the wind then.

The cooldown room audio is so much better now, and has been for the past 3 or 4 races. I'm glad they fixed that.

Good question. Spa is special in that, after the end, the cars immediately come into the pits through the pit exit, they don't go around the circuit (because it's so long). I wonder if that yellow flag is because of that. Could the the smoke too though.

You can do this, actually. Just create new profiles. It's not very user friendly, but can definitely be done, from what I understood from your usecase.
