Right next to a huge pole*.

I'm just wondering how a car crashed into a pole sideways.

Edit: for those not understanding the joke, arsenic (As) is another toxic metal.

It's sort of how if you hold a slinky on one end hanging down, then drop the slinky, bottom will not start falling until the top reaches it. In a sense, bottom will be hanging onto nothing. But of course that nothing is tension from the top of the slinky.

It's weird to say that light travels faster than information, because light is information. In other words, top speed for information IS speed of light.

That's cool. It also uses LLMs, I presume?

May I remind you, that Prometheus always gave up on Robert, in every episode...

The dev was like:

I've spent months learning to write physics for a gamedev project and they assign me to Solitaire?! I learned physics and they are gonna get physics.

I hate to see AI (I suppose we mean specifically GPTs in this instance) trashed all the time, just because companies use it incorrectly. They shove it in every hole they can to hike the stock price. But it's a great tool, that arguably needs more time in the oven, which has legitimate helpful uses. Especially in the context of a browser.

For example, in Arc Browser I can semantically search the page/article for anything and it will show me the location of the information I need (ever tried to find the recipe itself in an article about the recipe?). I can also do some obvious stuff, like summarize and translate sections, which I could do by copying it into a dedicated service, but it's definitely much more convenient being built-in.
Would be much better if it ran locally off the NPU, but we are not there yet.
