>"Gemini 1.5 Pro (...) matches or surpasses Gemini 1.0 Ultra’s state-of-the-art performance across a broad set of benchmarks."

So Pro is better than Ultra, but only if the version numbers are higher?

The first of either an install, reinstall or update in a 12 months period. It does not apply for every single update

The UN report shared by the sibling poster, has a graph that distinguishes the rates between Spanish and non-Spanish nationals, so I think that’s a positive answer to your question

I started using Slackware in the early 2000s. Tired of Windows (and rebelling a bit against The System), I ended up installing Slackware into the family desktop and used it as my daily driver. After a while I got a refurbished horizontal case desktop that I repurposed into a home server, installed Slackware and learned to deploy a mail server and a LAMP stack so I could offer hosting (email and sites) to my high school friends - then gmail came around and everyone forgot about my little cool hosting provider. After a while I got hooked into FreeBSD, but for some reason, and apart from using it for some niche projects, it didn’t really stick for me, since I always find a way back into either Slackware or Arch nowadays. As you can probably tell, reading through all the other comments brings back a certain nostalgia.

Biggest differentiator being that back then most CPU's were single core - one of the first dual core CPUs was the Pentium D that only came out in 2005 iirc.

> that doesn’t apply

I did add an OR in the sentence you quote; exactly because of the example you shared and another on in support of the Palestinian cause held in front of a concert hall just before a Brazilian singer concert, that would go on tour to Israel after.

As for your second point, I totally agree with your point. My previous comment isn’t supposed to show any agreement with the episodes, but just a factual showing of what happened, and how this has been general malpractice rather than some shady intelligence underground operation.

There was no request (afaik) done by any of the involved parties.

By law, if you’re planning a rally/event/etc you have to make a request to your local mayorship, who then approves it (or not) while informing the police about it, so that security details can be planned.

Since the rallies in question involved displays related to certain countries or were held in front of embassies (like the one supporting Navalny, which brought this case to the limelight), the embassies were also informed about who the organisers were.

As some one on the comments already mentioned, it seems to be a case of Hanlon’s Razor albeit a very unfortunate (and disturbing) one

Unfortunately the Siri function isn’t available in numerous countries

Good video of the same (similar?) effect on a small plane after taking off after an Antonov-2

Really cool.

I've tinkered with Augmented Reality in Android some years ago but all I got was a native module (actually ARToolkitPlus) and you'd send frames from the camera to it and it would identify markers and output the area where it was located in screen coordinates.

Once more really cool work on AR.js!

I think OP was referring to not having to worry about the number of days he has taken so far, since he says "make my own schedule", i.e.: not having to worry about limits, either temporal or financial.

In the HyperBitBit initial experiments slide, the table with the results and estimates is throwing me off guard in regard to the ratios.

From my quick calculations, I'm getting [1.03, 0.96, 0.96, 1.05] but the table specifically has [1.05, 1.03, 0.96, 1.03]

Am I missing something here? Specifically the 2M case has a positive ratio when the HBB estimate is higher than the actual count.

They do support spaces. There's one password with 39chars down the list (about an "unveiling")

Somehow I was thinking about France with French Guyana but must have passed it.

As some have said, I'd like to check the impact of only using mainland in the calculations.

Including Azores definitely affected the final result. It's weird that other countries didn't have their islands include though

I can't access it from Portugal

Nice little exercise. Just implemented the three servers in Node.js over lunch time.

Isn't the correct term entering into arrears instead of default? Doesn't the Greek government have a couple of weeks to regularise their debts before going into default?

Also someone needs to keep tabs on this: http://isgreeceindefaultyet.com/

Tunnelbear[0] has Vigilant mode[1] that blocks all outgoing connections until you have connected to the VPN server. It was one of the main reasons to start using it.

It seems that Safari 8.0.3 on OS 10.10.2 is also affected by the PNG bug. Although it has a variable number of variants each time the page is open/refreshed (don't have access to a vulnerable IE to test if it has the same behaviour)
