This email makes no sense.

Let me paraphrase them:

We bet on mobile and won big. AI is great. AI tutors are a thing.

Therefore we'll get AI to understand our codebase and get it to fo stuff people did before

This isn't "betting on" AI. This is outsourcing to AI.

You can be an AI company (theoretically) - have people make AI models that are then deployed. Note the lack of recursively, made-by-AI-for-AI products and services.

Tbh, Duolingo was always a gimmick. It doesn't teach you a language. It teaches you small snippets of 5-10 words each with little to no grammar. It's repetitive and boring. It was that way before the lives they said they'd never add.

They lost me as a user when they rolled out lives.

Now, I hope they lose someone else.

Duolingo has potential. But learning a language always required a large time investmant, and it always will.

I assume its lessons will only get worse than they already are.

It merely says "go European", not "go domestic". Of course you can join!

Oh, nicotine is way worse. It may not harm your health directly, but addictiveness is exponentially worse.

Wikipedia: Dependence and Withdrawal: Moderately physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms may occur upon abstinence, with greater than 100 mg caffeine per day, although these symptoms last no longer than a day

Wikipedia: Nicotine withdrawal Symptoms are usually strongest for the first few days and then dissipate over 2–4 weeks (...) In a minority of smokers, cravings may persist for years.

There is/was a new Windows 10 Control panel? I thought that was just the Settings app.

Meh. CTU means stuff comes into e.g. Rotterdam and then easily wherever it needs to go from there, and complaining about "evading sanctions" seems to me like an exercise in futility.

Well, the electoral college isn't actually FPTP, it's even worse than that.

Making a "allow 3rd party servers" update and a basic server application wouldn't hurt an indie studio much. For beheamoths it isn't even a drop in the ocean.

British Ambassador to Japan Julia Longbottom explained that her decision was because the city did not invite Israel to attend. Longbottom told reporters that unlike Russia, which invaded Ukraine, and Belarus, which cooperated in the invasion, Israel is exercising its right to self-defense. So, treating Israel in the same manner would be misleading, she said

U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel will also skip the Nagasaki peace ceremony. According to the U.S. Embassy, Emanuel does not want to politicize the Nagasaki event.

the envoys of Group of Seven nations, except for Japan, and the European Union said that if Israel was excluded from the invited countries, it would be difficult to send high-ranking officials to attend the ceremony.

Totally not politicized. I guess supporting Israel is a better look than opposing nuclear warfare.

Playing devil's advocate here: maybe they were trying to be inclusive by not specifiying gender but haven't heard of they. The US education system is a joke in a lot of places so the (hypothetical) teacher may have to think twice before suggesting they change the it's to their. But hey, at least the apostrophe is where it should be and I'd take that as a win for education.

What I find the most funny and ironic personally is the fact that the old BMW looks like it has a lot more space for passengers than the new oversized one.

Threats of physical violence are the only tool they have in their toolbox. THE ONLY tool.

And actual gun violence. They're the sniwflakiest and wimpiest of the all, bringing an AK-47 to a civilised discussion and feeling "threatened".

It's not even the highest bidder that gets the data, it's all 1278 data partners. Talk about data prostitution!
