I still remember the shock when my father told me he had connected his laptop to the internet without a cable. I'd heard of wireless networking but didn't know it was a standard feature in laptops at the time and all you need is to find a wifi point.

Does that mean the quality of the voice calls in that era was better than later systems? Since it's logical to have loss of quality when a weak signal is amplified.

IMHO in the long term this will lead to a closed web where you are required to log-in to view any content.

It was moved to a new path so you have to create symlinks in both locations to the new path under /usr/lib/newlib1.2/newfile.so otherwise, You can download a script that will make that for you but it will only work if you have all the dependencies for that script installed and their version numbers match the ones that the script owner had when he wrote the script.

The page style doesn't look so bad even though it's using very simple HTML elements of the era. Just looking at it reminded me of the early days of HTML.

edit: It uses CSS which was invented in 1996 (according to Wikipedia). That means it was updated at a later date.

They aren't surprising when you are dealing with new knowledge. But when hallucinations occur with something you are familiar with, it will be surprising and might be funny. Remember when AI was asked: how many rocks should I eat per day.

The fact that any surprise used in the wrong place is considered hallucination and a downside for that LLM. I guess a good starting point to improve that is to add an experimental "Surprise Mode" which will try to guess the right kinds of surprises rather than minimizing them and get the feedback from the users. Over time, it will learn what kind of surprises users like so that they will be used in future training datasets.

I just registered to try it. A good thing is that the process is easy and email activation is not required to start using it. When I started writing the supplement name and deleted it to restart again, the whole text field disappeared. I have to refresh the page every time I start writing again. After I entered 3 supplements to check their interaction, no results appeared. When I clicked submit again, I saw the results but I had already lost 2 out of 5 free usages available. This happened, even though the results say that there is no information about the interaction between the supplements I entered.

With the rise of these retro-looking websites, I feel it's possible again to start using a browser from the '90s. Someone should make a static-site social media platform for full compatibility.

I just tested this demo and it noticed it doesn't support Arabic text rendering (the letters should be connected) which is a main feature of Harfbuzz
