I've actually looked at RFC 1034 § 3 you've mentioned in another comment, and it states To simplify implementations, the total number of octets that represent a domain name (i.e., the sum of all label octets and label le

You know, this speaks volumes. Layout is a complicated business, sure, but CSS just keeps having monumental shifts in how you're supposed to approach it year after year; it's as if it's done without any overarching theory&#x2

Realistically, people would need to go out of their way to have an e-mail with the domain part longer than a hundred ASCII characters (although considering Punycode, this limit perhaps should be more like 200, for CJK domains...) so if they

So just the same, it shouldn't make a difference if LLMs simulate "human-like attributes" or actually possess them, right?

"A human brain runs a perfect model of human consciousness. Some people make the mistake of supposing that that makes human brains somehow conscious."

Huh, makes you wonder — is the human brain a sufficiently-powerful substrate to present human-like attributes?

Hey, I too can do a NAND gate! I am human-like!

This is such a brilliantly self-defying argument, I am honestly impressed. "If people were better informed, they wouldn't care". People are uninformed/misinformed because they care enough to listen to what they're b

No, you have to pick between Biden and Trump because the leadership of the only two parties that matter in the US can't find anyone better suited (for them) for running for president. After all, the people can only vote for the candida

Voters have always been misinformed, only the degree varied. And most of them decide to believe the things they want to believe anyhow.
