6 inches is not small. Small would be like 4 inches or less.

The problem is, YouTube has no real competition. No one has the same thing they do. And the same applies to a lot of things today.

Another issue is, subscription services can just raise the price and then start charging people more without those people doing anything, or possibly even noticing, which differs from individual purchases where you had to make a judgement about the price each time. Now, people have to make an actively cancel in order to not agree to new prices (or EULA changes for that matter). It should really be the other way around, so that if a service raises their price, people have to actively agree to the new price in order for the service to keep charging them.

Can't speak for Uber Eats or Starbucks though.

Out-of-band, I think. I.e. some other means of communication that doesn't go via the same route they normally use.

Natural sunlight only works while the sun is up. That's no replacement for artificial lighting

over 100% of the BT.2020 pro color space

What does this mean? BT.2020 already requires pure monochromatic subpixels (which you're not gonna get with LCD), so you can't go beyond that unless you use 4+ subpixels (in which case the extra colors will just go unused, since HDR video is delivered as BT.2020). Or is BT.2020 Pro a smaller gamut than BT.2020?

This article is the only thing I can find on Google which mentions "BT.2020 Pro", at least in English.

The problem is some authors signing exclusivity deal with Amazon, which means breaking the DRM and converting it is the only way to read it on a different e-reader.

It is a single address with an associated subnet mask, indicating what subnet the address is in.

The subnet would be 3fff:a1:1ab:bc67::/64, for the top one.

Looks like it's taken a page from PowerShell in passing structured data rather than just text.

but it is a task of a programmer to review it before publishing it.

By contrast however, the programmer does not generally need to review the machine code produced by their compiler when coding in C.

It's not though. Programming languages, like assembly before them, are deterministic. If you run the same C code again the same environment, it will do the same thing, and altering the code will alter the behaviour correspondingly. It's possible to reason about it. The same does not apply to LLMs. You can't reason about their behavior, when means you can't build anything non-trivial with them. All that is mentioned in the article.

What do you mean? That's literally just using the service as intended.
