The company made “more than a dozen technical improvements” to AI Overviews ...

... making the feature rely less heavily on user-generated content from sites like Reddit

So it prefers the results that Google normally deprioritizes? I guess we have that in common

Might be worth waiting for a couple decades without a major replication crisis in your field of study before holding academic rigor over the heads of others but go off king

If your doctor prescribes you something for smoking, get a new doctor. That said, crack is the worst for your teeth due to clenching, and tobacco is the worst for pretty much everything else imaginable. Smoking generally is the unhealthiest habit people have, but it's specifically due to inhaling the free radicals produced by combustion, not "a foreign substance" (we are all continuously breathing foreign substances). If you were just able to take out the combustion part somehow, you could- ah shit they're already marketing it to kids

Just to add context because this is a somewhat polarising headline, gamergate shit is back on the rise. Gamers generally aren't being considered potential extremists, only literal extremists that happen to consider their opinions as representative of gamers

Dolphin is in a better state than it's ever been, now has a resampler so you can get those crisp pixels like on original hardware. For anyone whose interest is in actually playing old Nintendo games over speculating on their IP, even if they own a cartridge, they're probably playing on Dolphin.

The only thing I want it to do is use simple context when searching something for me. If I have a sports event in my calendar, tickets saved to my wallet, and I say "Hey Google, what time does the {team} match start today?", it currently gives me a garbage answer linking to a Reddit post where someone asked that a year ago or something. The ecosystem already understands the info I want in this situation, they have all the data points, theres no sophisticated logic required to connect them. But Google Assistant can't do it, making it pretty useless other than for setting alarms and stuff. If your question isn't on the list of discrete preprogrammed functions then it just searches what you asked, which for my case should actually be "'{team} fixtures" or something. So it's often faster to just search manually in the first instance rather than trying to learn the obfuscated scope of what Google assistant can actually do.

Yeah we're deprioritising the platform you use, because it's niche. We have analytics, and they say your use case doesn't matter. Just accept it and keep paying us, like all those other times

Something I heard Hasan say the other day. Being trans isn't a mental illness, being anti-trans is a mental illness. Because once you actually start looking into gender and realise its a social construct, you subconsciously start transvestigating people all around you and assuming they are trans (for actions/thoughts/feelings that are normal for heteros)

Horribly paraphrased of course

The meme specified "perceived temperature", which I would assume to mean some combination of the temperature metric with a heat index, humidex, wind data, solar radiation estimates, or something like that

I got it as 2nd result too! But, I also got this post as the 3rd result ☠️ https://i.imgur.com/hb1QTyg.png

The financial impact of this decision is entirely speculative at this stage. Unity's next quarterly earnings report won't be impacted by it. The market is attempting to price in losses that haven't yet occurred. We won't know how it affects stock price for awhile
