Just opened my Whatsapp settings and "Third-party chat requests" is on by default (From the Netherlands). Although to actually receive messages you do have to activate this feature.
Tools like GPTzero are incredibly unreliable. Me and plently of my colleagues often get our writing flagged as 100% AI by these tools, when no AI was used.
Actually this was (and still is) commonplace these last decades, for poor and rich people alike. Even the poorest could afford to have a car and put petrol in it. It's becoming untenable for the younger generations because of government intervention and mishandling of the economy.
Petroleum is subsidized so heavily globally. Most oil actually comes from nation companies. That's, like, the maximum amount of government intervention you can get.
The people who think oil are or were a "free market" are beyond delusional. No, that was never the case - all the big players are governments, all of it is centrally planned, and all of it is subsidized by the population. That's why it's so cheap.
The reason it's going up in price is BECAUSE we're doing this less, as renewables become more competitive.
Find a new dentist. Nicotine pouches are incredibly bad for oral health. Huge risk of oral cancer. And it’ll make your gums recline, exposing your nerves (this hurts). Also nicotine itself is quite bad for you to begin with (cardiovascular health, anxiety, etc).
Sure snus is better than smoking, but that’s just because most things are better than smoking.
Would you happen to have a source? I mentioned this specifically, he said that he is only aware of gums reclining for very heavy users (5+ pouches a day) and that from the other patients he has 1-2 pouches don't seem to have any noticeable effect.
Curious to see it in action. Gemini 2.5 has already been very impressive as a study buddy for courses like set theory, information theory, and automata.
Although I’m always a bit skeptical of these benchmarks. Seems quite unlikely that all of the questions remain out of their training data.
Yeah, I'm sure that a lot of people notice the same thing then uninstall it. It's one of the solutions to the Fermi paradox, that both people have telegram installed at the same time.
I force reloaded it now and it took only a few seconds. It's on CPU from 2014 on a 4G connection. However we are only two data points. Meta probably has a good knowledge of the distribution of the load times.
If your spikes in load time are random it could be the connection, the amount of free RAM on your computer in that very moment, or maybe how well it is syncing with your phone. However I don't know how it handles that. It used to require an online phone but it seems that it can do without it now.
