  • I don’t know what you are defending here. ML = “machine learning”. The first one enables or disables machine learning: a broad strokes API that plugs generative models into Firefox. It is the first step. Yes: a sidebar is innocuous. I still use it myself. However, I have the machine learning chat sidebar disabled so that they cannot shove whatever generative prompts, etc in my face based on their contractual agreement with Google.









  • Yep, creates smart and experienced sounders of boars. US states that are using testing efficacious methods are having great success with eradication efforts.

    They have banned hunting and set up zones of populations. They target these zones independently. The efforts primarily focus on two methods of reduction:

    camera operated spring traps that capture an entire sounder.

    Helicopter sharp shooters who coordinate with drone pilots who have infrared cameras to spot sounders.

    The key is taking out each and every boar in a sounder.

  • Horrifying.

    Much less horrifying is the presumably AI written text in the article that I nearly had an aneurism reading:

    The 1986 Chornobyl explosion – which happened when Ukraine was under Moscow’s rule as part of the Soviet Union – sent radiation across Europe. In the scramble to contain the meltdown, the Soviets built over the reactor a concrete “sarcophagus” with only a 30-year lifespan. The new confinement was built to contain radiation during the decades-long final removal of the sarcophagus, ruined reactor building underneath it and the melted-down nuclear fuel itself.
