There is no mention in Wikipedia how exactly shame reduces (or not reduces) drug use. Additionally, China and Japan have capital punishment for drug traders. So I wouldn't be so definitive about what is the cause and what is the effect

Centralized notifications is not a "genius solution", it is the "only possible solution" for power-constrained devices, if you think about it. Same thing applies to Android: in ideal world it keeps a single connection op

Yes and no. I know that there is no word "understand" in the dictionary, only "under" and "stand", but other than that it is just a large table with probabilities to see tokens in specific context. And even the

Why everybody discussing this? It looks obvious that any US citizen at any moment can be reached by FBI with a call for information; there is no countermeasure against it; since Patriot Act was enacted, you'll never know who gave a

Just a note: defining own integer types has sense for resource-limited platforms. Most common type I see is something like "dim_t", which is 32-bit or 64-bit depending on use-case. 32-bit integers are often used even on 64-bit pla

LLM is a technology that spits out statistically frequent word combinations (a.k.a stochastic parrot). Then a filter is applied on top of it all, which sees: mmm, in one response, the words "Nazism" and "Good"? Nah, gott
