I'm using a GUI called simply "media-downloader". On launch it updates yt-dlp and your chosen JS runtime. It has a separate tab for downloading playlists.

It's not only about the people who were elected, but 44/45 ballot initiatives specifically aimed at restricting or banning data center construction passed.

They what the model?

I meant 'upgraded'....oops haha. Too late to edit.

'I think they upgraded the model...."

The model they model to model this is modeled by a model they model.

A recent study from oumi.ai found that the summaries contradict the sources they cite 10% of the time.

Anecdotally, the percentage is way higher than 10% for some kinds of searches. I don't always use google, but i've tried it dozens of times the past few weeks to test their AI Summary / AI Overview, and it has yet to get anything correct. I've had to use other search engines or AIs literally every time.

mistakes vary from "obviously wrong" to "looks vaguely correct, but the source states something different" to "looks plausible, but the cited page is completely irrelevant, the AI clearly made this up" Even for straight fact lookups, I've seen it cite pages and claim one number, and then i click through and the source matches the vague shape of the answer but has a different number.

Its just constant hallucinations. "thats a common problem, just change this <setting that does not exist> or set <option that does not exist>". Full gemini seems more capable, but whatever google is throwing at the top of their free searches is awful IME.

I'm guessing they're only counting one failure mode. But I think it's the one that would surprise most boosters. Even if it found a relevant page, and the information is fed into the model's context right there, the output is still completely backwards a fair fraction of the time.

Probably a few, but what is the benefit?

Because of inflation, there is a distance at which the objects not already in our light cone are moving away faster than the speed of light. So the amount of stuff that we will be able to observe is limited.

It makes it limited, but it doesn't make it finite.

The early 1900's are not exactly prehistoric.

Yeah. My father, born in 1940, was an agricultural engineer in a state farm throughout the communist period in Romania. He was born in a mountain village in the Carpathians and told me when he was a kid, the wheat they grew was tall, a man's height, far taller than the varieties they adopted for intensive farming. Also told me the yield was much lower, although the "mountain wheat" was more resistant to disease and weather conditions.

Generally, the yield of old wheat varieties was nothing compared to modern versions, required to feed today's population.

To be noted too that old wheat varieties weren't likely cultivated with modern fertilizers, which increase considerably the yield, too.

And many modern wheats would not grow well without modern fertilization practices and could be more prone to disease and damage because of it.

Nor did I claim they are, but that doesn't mean we have records of every little thing that fell out of service/production/sale/use.
