If it works like most AI ad engines, it will keep advertising more of the same Ford car you just bought.

As I understand it, that project spanned several planned generations of chips and this was to be the first of them. So yes, this is part of the cancellation of his whole project.

overnight there's now hundreds to thousands of people who want to drag you out of your home and lynch you in the street, all because you "committed" the "crime" of being born.

I didn't follow this bit. Who are the hundreds of thousands of people calling for the great grandchildren of Nazi war criminals to be dragged out of their homes and lynched?

It's not so much that they voted him in, as that they didn't bother to vote him out. Turnout was 43.53% in the last election.

This isn't the worst-phrased headline I've seen, but it still feels like it's tiptoeing around "IDF kills American-Turkish activist in West Bank."

Shed a tear, if you wish, for Nvidia founder and Chief Executive Jenson Huang, whose fortune (on paper) fell by almost $10 billion that day.

Thanks, but I think I'll pass.

I'm not familiar with how the US electoral college works. I am talking about FPTP electoral systems like those in the UK and Canada. One MP is elected per constituency, and if a party wins a majority of the seats (that is, if they have a majority of the MPs), they can form a government. In such a system it's common for a party to win the majority of seats without having a majority of votes, and possible for a party with the majority of votes not to win a majority of seats.

I've seen reports that just say someone "dies" instead of that the IDF killed them.

All institutions have a tendency to become complacent and self-serving over time. This kind of scrutiny and pressure from outside is necessary to interfere with that tendency.

As is often observed, liberals (of the political philosophy, not the party) are always far more ready to align themselves with fascists than with the left, despite their sometimes leftish words.

So we know these things work on one person's computer (theirs) but not on another's (yours). Such anecdotal experiences are not a reasonable basis on which to judge any OS, positively or negatively.

That's on Tuesdays. On Thursdays straws are bad because man stuff. Keep up!
