"Without the ads, the subscription would be much more expensive."

That's not at all how it works. How is it that adults think prices are based on costs? They teach supply and demand in high school.

Is he still missing?

I think the only way to get surround sound is in the desktop program. I don't know if that's a limitation of browsers or if the Netflix guys are just assholes.

I'm perfectly happy to pay for things I value, especially if the alternative is being forced to pay with my time and attention. The evidence also doesn't entirely support your argument, since plenty of places that you pay for still try to show ads.

Thanks. More creepy bug stuff I didn't know about. The beetle seemed inhibited if not incapacitated by them. It looked to me like a swarming attack, but it could have just been that there were so many that it couldn't easily move.

Yeah, maybe they should encrypt it a third time. You never know.

The only thing I value in Windows 10 or 11 over 7 is better multi monitor support, and even that is not a giant issue. It's faster, uses less resources, is better organized, and looks nicer, especially nicer than 10 that looks like a lazy highschool kid spent all of a day on it.

Boogie Woogie Christmas is a great album.

Other people have better ideas, but a very small dab of blue Loctite (the one that isn't permanent) on the bottom knuckle would keep it in place but probably be removable with a hammer and pin.

"Interestingly, this effect cannot be explained by differences in participants’ experience with generative AI models, as that variable is insignificant in the mode"

When predictors are correlated, which is most likely the case here, this analysis cannot separately estimate their effects. The software will end up splitting the total effect size between the two predictors. Without describing collineariry between predictors, it's not possible here to judge whether experience with AI is truly unimportant or the analysis is merely incapable of spotting the effect.

As for eroding confidence in reviews, this will make it worse, but I already put next to no stock in user reviews anymore. You don't need AI to make a good human-like review that lies about a product, and there are plenty of those around.

Thanks. Didn't know that.
