Perhaps for a short time. As soon as Apple understands the exploit I expect them to patch it. They may even back port the fix to older iOS versions as well.
Re:Instrument clusters are now paid extras in two Hyundai models

Because there's a speed display along the left side of the center display. Teslas have been doing this legally for years.
Even before Teslas, I had a Toyota Yaris that had a center mounted instrument cluster a few years ago. I guess it makes it cheaper/easier to sell into both left hand drive and right hand drive markets.

No, I don’t think so, because the egg still needs to be fertilized by a sperm cell to develop into an embryo.
Now if the sperm cell were from the same donor I don’t know what would happen

The natural tension between chaos and order is one of the things that makes Burning Man so interesting.

It must, if it now outputs more tokens than 4.6's tokenizer for the same input. I think the announcement and model cards provide a little more detail as to what exactly is different

With the exception of a couple of comments that add context like that this might be a dev feature that was unintentionally enabled in a released version of Gas Town, the majority of the rest of this discourse seems to be:
"I've never used Gas Town, but I'm mad that there are people who like something I don't like."

Getting my general and maybe extra are goals for the year. Want to get on HF before the sun cycle starts winding down
