Quora is (supposedly) where everyone went after Yahoo Answers closed 5 years ago. Prior to that, it had been (arguably) the better of the two sites with significantly better questions and answers.
I had an account on YA because I didn't feel clever enough to have an account there. Maybe I should create one now, ha.
Can I pay with photocopies of cash?
I don't know how many do, but they're fools if they don't.
You'd think that since those links are there, that the information on those links matches what that LLM says, and thus not a hallucination, but at least twice, I've found the information straight up wasn't there, or the LLM had misread / misinterpreted the page's content.
But then I may not be a regular user. I ask a question maybe once every one to two weeks because a regular search finds nothing and, like I say, I prefer to check the sources.
They already do that, sort of. The last I heard, people watching with an ad-blocker also blocked the mechanism that incremented the watch counter. This may or may not have been deliberate. The interesting thing is that the video appears in people's Watch History ad-blocker or not, so there was always an easy fix sitting in plain sight.
They told creators about the watch count problem along with at least one other secret thing that they said they weren't allowed to talk about. Charlie / Cr1TiKaL / penguinz0 said as much as he could about it a few months back.
I think the secret thing was probably "we're working on a way to get those view counts back, but don't tell anyone because we want to discourage people from using ad-blockers and if you tell them they're costing people views, it might convince them to turn it off."
Assuming true, that's all now out of the window because they've "fixed" the problem.
I expect another fierce attack on ad-blockers in Q4.
Start with "NOPLATE", "NCC1701", "XXX" and "NULL".
There might be others that have ended up in the news as a result of human (police or programmer) error, but just those four over fifty States is a good 200 to start with.
Had AI inflation not taken hold, I think most budget builders would still be opting for DDR4, so this headline feels like a non-sequitur to me.
What's the cactus done to deserve that?
It looks like Clickhole either deleted or moved that article ~~earlier this year~~ at some point in 2025. And if they moved it, they didn't update their link in their "best of 2018" post from 2024.
They're also still selling the t-shirt with the headline quote on it.
Anyway, here's an archive.org link: https://web.archive.org/web/20250517005853/https://clickhole.com/heartbreaking-the-worst-person-you-know-just-made-a-gr-1825121606/
They're rolling it out piecemeal. I don't think they've rolled it out to the UK yet, for example, because I can see both old and new interfaces without it requesting a login, but clearly it's requiring login for some people, somewhere.
Look on the bright side. If we hook up a dynamo to his coffin we might be able to power an AI data centre.
Unless by Hercules you mean Kevin Sorbo in which case, yeah, it was him alright.
As I understand it, it's supposed to be a from-the-ground-up reimplementation of NT5 / Windows 2000 with maybe a handful of later tech squeezed in. Historically, it has borrowed heavily from the WINE project, though I'm not sure of the current state of play. It would certainly make sense to have continued to do so.
It's intended to be compatible with any and all Windows software, but the goalposts keep moving and the number of steps they are behind increases faster still. At this point it's barely more than a passion project for the devs, though many of us really want them to succeed.
(See also Haiku, which is a reimplementation and advancement of the contemporaneous BeOS.)
I've occasionally tried to get ReactOS to run in a VM for the nostalgia and to see something like the screenshots, but it never seems to work for me, not that I've tried this new version yet.
