Unintuitively, detecting the ads is not the hard part of making an ad blocker. The really hard part is removing the ad without the website detecting that you removed it. So even if you had a perfect lightweight model that can detect ads, you still have the hard part of making the ad go away.

I’m pretty sure based on previous reporting that they will just track you as “blue car with this specific model of bike rack”.

Documented by who? The marketing departments definitely claim such things, but it’s been years of these claims and there has yet to be a single shred of evidence to back them up. I bet you’re going to tell me it’s just a total coincidence that after one of the marketing departments started claiming their AI has breached containment that suddenly a bunch of other AIs breached containment after a few days/a week.

Are these secret invisible AI models that actually work in the room with us right now?

Hear me out: plants grow using carbon dioxide. We should just pump more and more and more of that into the atmosphere until the plants all glow!

You think they don’t have sicko billionaires in China? It’s a different country, not a different species.

.ml moment. The party asked you not to believe your own lying eyes, and you listened.

Photos of bioluminescence are always so misleading. There are a few issues that make this completely useless.

1. The glowing only happens when and where the plant is growing. It does not just always passively emit light from the whole plant. This means the plants are even dimmer in winter, which is when you want the most light.
2. The glowing is waaaaaaaaaay dimmer than you would think. I bought some of those Petunias and you can only tell that they are different than a normal plant on a summer night with a new moon, or if you cup your hands around them and shove your face into them. If you have enough lighting on to comfortably hang out outside, your lighting will be brighter than the plants.

The glow is just barely visible at night with a new moon.

Source: I bought a bunch of these and regret it.

I specifically cloned these and cross bred them to give to my friends. They weren’t even that interesting of a plant, the light gimmick is shit, and you can barely see it on a new moon night. But since they told me I wasn’t allowed to propagate it, that was the first thing I did.

Ah, so the only thing we know with confidence is that it’s definitely not happening.

Yep.

Is this a regional US thing or something? Because where I live in California I can walk into any local big box hardware store or Costco and walk out with an integrated bidet toilet, not just a retrofit lid. It’s been like that for 10 years now.

The 3 seasons of Washington: windy rain, smoke, and lukewarm rain.

It’s……well actually less likely than you’d think but it’s still a big fuckin’ problem.

Or at least thats what the nerds told the rich warlords in order to get funding.

If they were capable of thinking that holistically and with foresight, they would not be allowed to be hired as cops.

Ummm accccctually it’s a trillby.

You realize there’s a difference between the earth being fine and humans being fine right?

You really don’t need to donate to them. Wikipedia has enough money to run itself indefinitely. The foundation just keeps growing and wasting money on non-Wikipedia stuff.
