I've played multiplayer goldeneye online. Turns out that perfect precision weapons on a m+kb setup are actually not much fun to play with. The movement is so limited compared to the brutal precision a mouse offers that everything just

I'm not even sure how this would work in practice, confessions are private, if the abuser was to accuse the priest, he could just deny it.

I can go on and on on how Bill Gates has done immense damage to software freedom etc and that is precisely the reason I will very much allow him to "be good" now. Doesn't fix what he has already done, totally, but not only is

That can happen both ways and the problem doesn't lie in the content, but in the "unquestioning deference", which should get fixed by exposure to opposing views. Whenever we dismiss bad ideas out of hand rather than showing h

That was also really surprising to me, but I think it can be explained by the fact that they bundle up repeated chords. You could play a G power chord for 3 minutes straight and it would count as one.

The parallelism doesn't really work, I'm going to try to stretch it to make a point though. Imagine that we were at a stage in which LLMs didn't really make sentences, only output like "Potato rainbow screen sunny throat

But then this is rather a critique of teaching history no? It's basically impossible for anyone to get a good appreciation for any historic subject from studying history. You can read books about WW2 nonstop and it would be futile, hel

It's basically impossible that it's a random irrelevant detail, I'd say any such detail is fair to share. For example, if every member of this group was Indian American I'd consider that a fair detail to note, the chance

What is being discussed in the article has been happening for a decade . It's not something sudden or new, and as such, "harping" on the past safety record is an accurate forecast.
