Couldn't agree more - there are some wonderful insights to gain from seeing your own kids grow up, but I don't think this is one of them.

Kids are certainly building a vocabulary and learning about the world, but LLMs don't learn.

Yeah it's not exactly going to be WCAG AAA either.

Oh sorry, I'm not denying that at all. I was only drawing on the comparison of Gmail being pretty ubiquitous like WhatsApp is.

My guess is that in some form they track contacts and link clicks. I genuinely don't think they're reading messages, but I think they do know eg that Bob is someone that likes to send people links and that there are 5 people that always open those links. So they may have directed model of linked topics between people.

Even if this isn't true though, owning WhatsApp probably gives Meta a lot of culture impact in a similar way to Google and Gmail. The fact that they could create their Meta AI model and put it in front of like a billion people overnight won't be lost on shareholders.

Not American and maybe I'm just OOTL but this confuses me as well... I'm aware of a peaceful protest against the mass deportations, but what else? Why do they need armed soldiers??

Only opened the comments to check someone had covered this, thanks!

Oh interesting, I had Dishonored on PC and didn't remember it being so bad. And I know what you mean, the controls feel so off beat though it's hard to put my finger on exactly what it is. Some kind of acceleration/mapping function thing. I like to use motion controls for ADS as well and those were very sensitive.

I had it on PlayStation a while back. Really enjoyed so much about it, but ultimately found the controls on console to just be unbearable.

It's rose-tinted glasses in play as well. I have many fond memories of my university days and deeply miss all the time I had with my friends that I now rarely see. I would encourage any student to cherish that aspect. There were many, many, difficult aspects of that time as well though, and a decade or so on I deeply appreciate the autonomy I have now.

It's a good reason for us to use base 10, but in the past many people have not used base 10. However, the bases a society use often are somehow tied to something about the body. As an example (haven't looked it up for a while, sorry), I think there is/was a group that used base 8, and counted on the gaps between their fingers.

 

Obviously a bit nonsense, but I am curious if anyone can share how they know where the asteroid hit, and how uncommon the steel-titanium alloy is to find.
