Yes, on their own. Although I wouldn’t be able to tell different varieties of lavender apart.

Smells the same as any other perfume to me.

(Seriously though, I half think that people only believe they have different scents because they’re told so by ads.)

I’ve been on the Internet too long. Genuinely didn’t notice anything wrong until I went to the comments and then went back and looked at it again.

This has always been public knowledge (though not widely enough known) since long before the current “AI” trends. The keywords are “Data retention policy”. Companies have always kept copies (or technically the originals) for a period of time after the user ‘deletes’ them or closes the account. I think some of it is for legal reasons (so evidence of a crime is still available for example), and some isn’t.

Incredible. I chuckled at that first paragraph for being extreme satire. Then read the rest.

It’s just not possible to outdo reality anymore.

“New car battery promises 800 miles”

(I hate that one so much. Range depends on how much battery the car has in it, any decent chemistry can get any reasonable number with the right configuration, so the numbers are meaningless and incomparable.)

Yup. Don’t use it though, it way stresses the oven and makes them break faster.

I think the main reason for unreliability is admins defederating the instance it gathers data from. For example all piefed instances block it by default.

Not sure of the exact rules, but it might be something like it won’t get data from any post or comment by a user on one of those instances.

I saw headlines about this before and ignored it, but actually reading the page this time I see that it’s much more sophisticated than I expected, especially the part about having a mechanism to locally unlock for accessibility with a compute cost.

Kinda like a one inch punch

I’ve always felt that was more like the 70s.

I hadn’t thought about it much, but mine is just first person, same as the way I type or talk. In fact I think much of my internal monologue is actually pretend or planning conversations.

Aller-Tec or AllerClear from Costco, also Aller-Flo (the generic Flonase spray they have.)

I had a Saturn which was a really nice car except for all that stuff under the hood.

Maybe have an EV company buy the branding from it.
