LOL, so they admit they lied about having end-to-end encryption. Then they couldn't just use one of the open source tools available, or even a commercial solution. They went out and bought a whole company. THEN they want everyone to pay for a feature they claimed to have already had. Not just the hosts or organizers of the meeting, no. Everyone. Every single attendee. Then on top of all that, half the features of their service will stop working. Brilliant!
Much disappointment there has been... The main Disney trilogy sequels do have their occasional moments of awesome, but the disjointed story and odd character deveolpment choices just overwhelm anything positive about them. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I'm glad that's it's finally "done."
Yeah, I don't think I've seen a conversation that used that many exclamation marks on both sides. They're getting better at not simply parroting back the question, but just barely. I wonder what kind of response it would have if the questions were about current events like the coronavirus, toilet paper availability, murder hornets, etc... According to the article:
Blender also has a tendency to “hallucinate” knowledge, or make up facts—a direct limitation of the deep-learning techniques used to build it. It’s ultimately generating its sentences from statistical correlations rather than a database of knowledge. As a result, it can string together a detailed and coherent description of a famous celebrity, for example, but with completely false information.
It's very heavily influenced by region. I went through every decade they had and noticed they didn't have a single country song from any of them. However, they had several rap songs. Even if you grew up in the US but listened to country radio you probably wouldn't know many of the songs they selected for the quiz.
Musical tastes also vary from person to person, and I don't recognize a single song from the list of music in the image above. I tried every single decade and 40% was the best I got(80s). A couple of songs from later decades I "knew" but could tell they were covers. I'm not sure why they considered covers to be more relevant than the originals.
I didn't really listen to the radio, and when I did it was mostly news stations. However, I'm exceptionally good at identifying movie or video game soundtracks, titles, and composers. A fair portion of the music I did know for the quiz were ones used in movie soundtracks, including the Wild Wild West main theme.
This is smart marketing on their part. They're making this sound like they're doing something good for the public. However, Take a close look at what they're really cutting. They're cutting back on commissions to people that post affiliate links and keeping the money. They're also cutting back on shipping costs by not giving people the one day shipping they paid for with their Prime subscriptions. They're using it to tweak and break contracts and hoping they won't be penalized. Ya know, because "we're doing our part!"
On top of that, they're cutting back on advertising costs, especially for Mother's/Father's day to see exactly how much that saves versus the drop in sales. Prime day is "postponed" unless of course they just happen to do it anyway if the Mother's/Father's day test shows they still need to do it. Plus it lets them make sure they can push it back if things are still bad. Shrewd business moves across the board, unless you happen to be an affiliate or Prime customer in Europe.
They lost their dominance once other platforms offered voice calling. They lost it when they decided to revamp the interface and fill it with ads. They lost it for real when they went all flat with Windows 8 style windows and took half the functionality out of the program.
They blew it. Others do it better these days, and without the ads in most cases.
"Overuse" can have several different meanings. It could be: using antibiotics when they aren't needed, using antibiotics for much longer than necessary, using antibiotics to promote animal growth, using antibiotics as a preventative, using the wrong antibiotics, using stronger antibiotics than needed, etc...
The article does cover several of those, but they mix it in with a push to abolish the "complete the course" advice from the doctor's instructions. What they really mean is that the "standard" course of antibiotics should be reviewed and adjusted to a shorter period of treatment, if it is appropriate to do so. Unfortunately, the hodgepodge of causes for overuse of antibiotics causes the article to lack the focus it needs to make a solid argument for their main talking point.
It's not the worst article ever, but it just comes across as a piece from a journalist instead of a useful review of medical practices that need reevaluating. A shame really since it's not a bad idea.
