A Hummer in Tokyo?! Honestly that's impressive, considering the width of most non-main roads there. But still, why would one need such a car in such a place? Tokyo works even better without a car at all, imho.

No mention of which products, and no link to the study..?
Edit: Study is in post; thanks OP!
Personally I find Navi better to use for the purpose of "not having to remember commands". It also provides a description of the command, fuzzy search, and essentially pastes the command in the current terminal, not having to think about current directory or user.
Just is essentially a collection of aliases, while Navi is a collection of pre-written commands in full length (with optional description).
Yes, it's discrimination per the definition of the word:
treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit
However, they should be at full liberty to do this, and it's not wrong any more than e.g. certain passport holders having to apply for a visa, or restaurants which have a dress code.
I first read "why" instead of "what", and it got me thinking, why do I base so much of my opinion about myself on what others say about me? Must be something about being social creatures and survival through society or some such.
Anyways, I feel like there are few things I haven't been called. To my face, I've been called argumentative, annoying, tiring, blabberbox, masochist, ignorant, dismissive, careless, dysfunctional, autistic, emotionless, ambitionless, indifferent, and even psychopathic, to mention a few. Nevertheless, I keep my chin up and try to do my best, ever improving, as that's all one can do really. We're not all compatible, and that's okay.
However, I've also been called a lot of good things, which are important not to forget nor dismiss! Like caring, friendly, honest, hospitable, crazy (the good kind), unique, intelligent, realistic, disciplined, humble, responsible, and proper.
The other day I was told I am both 50 and 15, sometimes even 5.
I moved from a decently sized city (100k inhabitants) to a small city (10k inhabitants) in a different country. I enjoy the more peaceful environment, but I miss being able to casually greet and talk with random strangers, as I don't know the language here and very few people here know English. It was so much easier to find events and things to do when I knew what everyone around me were talking about, and the posters were easy to read. I oftentimes find myself using a translating app, but it's a hassle, comparatively.
Despite there not being a lot of activity in the communities mentioned in the comments here, I think posting there might still yield some results. Even if just a single individual engages with you, that single individual may very well turn out to be a great conversation partner.
I've personally had some quite deep and dark conversations myself, and one good individual can in many cases be "sufficient".
I hope that you find some cool people out there, and keep up the hunt for achievements in both games and life!
An artist sneaked an AI-generated print on to a gallery wall (...)
Isn't it "snuck", and not "sneaked"?
Anyhow, I'd agree with both parties: AI generated art can be considered a form of art, but not in the same league. Just like you have people who perform sports with "artificial enhancers" are separated from the naturals.
BBC has presence and offices in the US, which are held liable for conduct within the US. IANAL, but I imagine legally speaking, you can even hold them liable for content hosted in the US on servers there, perhaps going as far as content that is served to the US. Suing them is just the beginning of the legal process to legally do with that liability as they wish, like removing their servers/access in the US.
I think this is quite different from video games and books from a psychological standpoint. But even reading a book for so many hours straight is impressive, as it does require some mental energy to keep being invested and imagining the scenarios in your head when reading.
A constant feed of short videos with content that is designed to stimulate thought and provoke emotions/reactions however, I'd say it's almost inhuman to actually invest yourself for this many hours for such. Whence brainrot as a term originates, I suppose; becoming desensitized and unresponsive with no deeper thoughts to impressions.
There are healthier, or, less unhealthy things to do for 7 hours straight. This guy has my sympathies.
Wikipedia (or the Wikimedia Foundation) is mostly driven by donations and volunteers, unlike Reddit...
Also, scraping every page on Wikipedia is incredibly heavy, especially compared to things like downloading a compressed copy of the entire site through torrents.

Some readers may recall the Lynx-R1 headset — it was conceived as an Android virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) headset with built-in hand tracking, designed to be open where others were closed, allowing developers and users access to inner workings in defiance of walled gardens. It looked very promising, with features rivaling (or surpassing) those of its contemporaries.
Founder [Stan Larroque] recently announced that Lynx’s 6DoF SLAM (simultaneous location and mapping) solution has been released as open source. ORB-SLAM3 (GitHub repository) takes in camera images and outputs a 6DoF pose, and does so effectively in real-time. The repository contains some added details as well as a demo application that can run on the Lynx-R1 headset.
The unusual optics are memorable. (Hands-on Lynx-R1 by Antony Vitillo)
As a headset the Lynx-R1 had a number of intriguing elements. The unusual optics, the flip-up design, and built-in hand tracking were impressive for its time, as was the high-quality mixed reality pass-through. That last feature refers to the headset using its external cameras as inputs to let the user see the real world, but with the ability to have virtual elements displayed and apparently anchored to real-world locations. Doing this depends heavily on the headset being able to track its position in the real world with both high accuracy and low latency, and this is what ORB-SLAM3 provides.
A successful crowdfunding campaign for the Lynx-R1 in 2021 showed that a significant number of people were on board with what Lynx was offering, but developing brand new consumer hardware is a challenging road for many reasons unrelated to developing the actual thing. There was a hands-on at a trade show in 2021 and units were originally intended to ship out in 2022, but sadly that didn’t happen. Units still occasionally trickle out to backers and pre-orders according to the unofficial Discord, but it’s safe to say things didn’t really go as planned for the R1.
It remains a genuinely noteworthy piece of hardware, especially considering it was not a product of one of the tech giants. If we manage to get our hands on one of them, we’ll certainly give you a good look at it.

"tarded"? Exemplary childish personal attack there.
I think what they were referring to was the people doing the brainwashing, and general indiscriminate use of online services where they disregard consequences outside of their bubble.
It's a hard thing to measure, of course. But I think long-term the effort is better focused on the young indeed, and not the old farts at the end of their life.
