The big players use parallel processing of multiple users to keep the GPUs and memory filled as much as possible during the inference they are providing to users. They can make use of the fact that they have a fairly steady stream of requests coming into their data centers at all times. This article describes some of how this is accomplished.

God's Number has been proven to be 20. It can't be any lower.

I've never added a custom filter. Do they sync to all my Firefox browsers that have uBO installed?

If only that worked on mobile Firefox, which doesn't support extension sync APIs. Other add-ons (eg tampermonkey) got use cloud storage accounts (Google Drive and/or Dropbox) for this, despite not being as useful on mobile devices (the UI for tampermonkey specifically is terrible on a phone)

Is there any way to disable the device prompt on my Android phone and Tablet? I'd prefer to go directly to the TOTP code entry as the first item.

Does this remove the full screen popup that occurs on both my phone and tablet when logging into my Google account? I'm not sure what type of 2FA this is called, but I would like to remove it and have it directly ask for the TOTP.

Hmm, that one is called "Google Prompt" but it looks like there's no option to disable it.

Can't these services be run from a country where The News/Media Alliance doesn't have jurisdiction?

But isn't the Oort Cloud is a sphere around the sun? I've always wondered why the planets and Kuiper belt have a preferred disc, but Oort doesn't.

One theory is that interactions and collisions (all scales: gas, dust, comet, planet) are what cause the participants to align in the direction of the original net angular momentum, and the Oort cloud is just too sparse to that have happened as much.

Oort dust clumped up to comet-size objects for sure, but that tended to happen for the particles that were already roughly in the same orbit. Looking at all orbits in the Oort cloud, they remained more random.

I was going to say the same thing. I'd be glad to disable this "feature", and this seems like an easy way to accomplish it. I'm also happy if I can get rid of that message about Gemini asking to summarize my stuff. I find it distracting and will be happy to remove it.

When I'm writing, I've always used en-dashes, but only because it's on my keyboard. Until people recently started talking about this, I didn't realize there was such a thing as en and en-dashes.

FWIW I think the - character on qwerty keyboards is a hyphen, which is a smidge shorter than an en dash

- – —

On a Mac it’s easy to type n and m dashes using option and the hyphen key.
