Nah think about all the things google gives away for free like browsers and operating systems. Should google charge for https://developers.google.com/recaptcha ? They are also providing a valuable service.

The article is super dumb. CAPTCHA 1.0 was to help computers to read books. There was a project by Google to scan every single known book in existence into the cloud so that society could have that knowledge forever. Generally the computer could perform OCR and turn that text into a digital format, but often times there were characters that the computer had a hard time understanding. That's where the human came in. People were shown to snippets of text: one of the computer knew how to read as a test for the person and one the computer did not know how to read. The computer uses the person's response for the text it didn't know how to read to fill in the missing piece of the book. CAPTCHA 2.0 it's the same premise: teaching computers how to recognize road signs, crosswalks, traffic lights, etc. But for self-driving cars. By having a large set of images that are labeled, deep neural networks can start learning what roads look like. It's a win-win: sites get a free way of protecting against spam bots since computer algorithms cannot correctly process those images yet, and companies like Google get free labeled data sets for machine learning. And if someone does come up with a bot to defeat captcha, society wins again because now there's an algorithm in existence to do the things that were previously hard for a computer to do.

Pebble went out of business and Fitbit bought it's software. It didn't buy it's hardware. Pebble killed pebble.

Pebble died. Fitbit bought its ashes.

Lots of Macs exist today with intel processors, so Apple will be doing both Apple Silicon and Intel support for a long time. Like a decade. Windows can be run on ARM, so ARM processors for desktops might become more popular in the next 10 years. Apple is about to be broken up due to legal issues. Apple's ARM processors have built in x86 emulation hardware that are a neat trick of computing. (I'm trying to find the article I was reading but here's another one: https://debugger.medium.com/why-is-apples-m1-chip-so-fast-3262b158cba2).

I am confused about where the engine or fuel would be stored. And how the center can provide torque to the blades.

And they have physical access to your phone. Basically they are reading the messages off a phone's hard drive.

They are Finnish

I'm still waiting for the 3080 20GB
