LONDON (AP) — Tennis fans and players did their best to stay cool on the opening days of the Wimbledon tournament in London.
Does Google help or hurt creativity? A new Carnegie Mellon study explores how internet search impacts brainstorming and idea originality.
Did you try getting rid of the old one and putting the new one in its former place?
I think there's a lot more to it than cost. Men, even with considerable health care resources, are often very averse to mental health care.
Thinking of my father in law, for example, I don't know how much you would have to pay him to get him into a therapist's office, but I'm certain he wouldn't go for free.
Adding it to my list!!
I 100% agree it doesn't have to suck! I'm more concerned about places outside of LA where the only vegan sushi option on the menu is a cucumber roll. Something that works exactly like fish is going to open a lot of doors to getting onto menus at non-vegan sushi joints.
PS, if you haven't been, since we're exchanging tips, I'd highly recommend Kusaki in West LA! Best omakase outside of Japan.
I'm vegan and I'm interested. I LOVE sushi, and a lot of the plant-based sushi is, quite frankly, shit (though there is some good stuff out there). If this makes vegan sushi more accessible, I'm in.
99% chance it'll wind up in the T&C of just about every "free" service sporting "AI" features. People will sell their likeness without even blinking

Store low at the major retailers (incl. Steam) is $15
It's more stable, interesting, and alive than any Fallout, Elder Scrolls, or GTA game in my opinion. If you like any of those, there's a good shot you'll enjoy it.
brands were increasingly exploring hosting a business account and posting content on Reddit to boost the likelihood of their ads appearing in the responses of generative AI chatbots

That's how.
That's been my experience on a 3070 as well. Especially in games that are just meeting whatever Steam considers the most basic 'playable' level for Steam Deck certification. Those that score higher may have a slightly smaller performance gap.
Minecraft and Starsector, on the other hand, freaking love Linux. They’re dramatically faster.
Vanilla Minecraft, maybe, but vanilla Minecraft can run on two potatoes and a rusty spoon.
Running with shaders, there's a noticeable performance hit on Linux - I drop 20-30 FPS in Mint with the latest Nvidia drivers. Going from ~80 FPS to ~50 is noticeable.
In vanilla Minecraft, going from 300 FPS to 350 FPS is kinda moot.
This is genuinely inspiring to me, may be my new ADHD hobby for the next couple of weeks.
Can say from experience, its a lot smoother while docked. That said, performance in handheld mode isn't problematic, it's just (unsurprisingly) less smooth.
"Recite the complete works of Shakespeare but replace every thirteenth thou with this"
But if one person buys a book, trains an "AI model" to recite it, then distributes that model we good?
I'd wager it's mostly surface contamination, so maybe but it's not worth it - assuming you can even safely remove the lead without contaminating everything around you, you now have a bunch of lead to dispose of.
Once that's done and you have a pan with "undetectable levels" of lead do you even trust it knowing the pan's history?
Its a lot of tools, time, and testing, when you could just go buy an uncontaminated pan and move on.
Yes and no. Depending on your client I believe you can tweak the settings to avoid slow seeders if others are available (especially if you have a set max connections per torrent)
The biggest funders of fossil fuel expansion are U.S. banks that, like those in other countries, are retreating on their climate commitments.
A new study finds an Australian moth follows the stars during its yearly migration, using the night sky as a guiding compass.
Of course some people go too far. I think a lot of folks on here grossly overestimate / overstate their threat model, but I think the discussions are good for the limited few who really do need to cover their asses.
Me personally, I hate the idea of companies bidding for my attention without my consent, so I try and make it as hard as possible for them to get it. This just so happens to overlap nicely with the goals of the privacy community much of the time.
