Maybe there's an advantage to having each successive character appear perfectly rhythmically across the page. What I want are two or even three shades for consecutive lines, to make it easier to transition from the end of the current l

Seeking the truth and reporting it ALL are two different things. Telling 90% of the truth means telling the least important 90%. The love of money corrupts all but the noblest of people's hearts.

I get sleepy if I have too many vitamins/minerals (eg: a whole PowerBar or entire Orgain drink), so maybe it's the minerals, perhaps Magnesium? [Magnesium helps my wife sleep better, but she can only take it at night or it makes h

To take to an even higher level, grate some of the lemon peel and then squeeze its "lemon zest" into it. I promise you it is excellent, but I only suggest organic lemons for this process! We also only use raw whole sugar or turbin

Doesn't aspartame partly break down into methyl alcohol if it gets too hot? I regularly drank Diet Cokes 25 years ago, and remember some batches would be "worse" than others. And, whether from cans or plasic bottles, you&#x27

Hundreds of housands of years of the human body's evolution should be respected, neh? I like my day's first glass of water to have a half a lemon's worth of juice freshly squeezed into it. My cold-brew (or occasionally espres

I just want to say that this is one of my favorite YT videos of all-time. Content, presentation, project, execution, pace, music : all perfect. That is NO exaggeration. You have made my day better, young man. Well done, young sir! Thank y

I shudder to think that all these LLMs were trained on internet comments. Of course, only the sub-intelligent would train so-called "intelligence" on the mostly less-than-intelligent, gut-feeling-without-logic folks' comments

How is a 'guess-the-next-token' engine going to refactor one's codebase? Just because everyone's doing it (after being told by those who will profit from it that it will work) doesn't mean it's not insane. It&#

Yup. My initial response was simply, "Now it's getting somewhere."

In the Frank Frazetta documentary, I like seeing all the illustrators talking about ripping the Frazetta covers off of books in the bookstore. One of my favorite artists of all-time. And he did it all from imagination. The drarf's char

Not everything written down and claimed to be from God is, indeed, from God. Unreputable people have managed to insert themselves into "holy" works for ages upon ages now, and, if not in the works themselves, then certainly in our

No command ever says to love everyone equally. We are to fill our hearts with love, so that even if we have to protect the oppressed, we are not to be filled with hate or rage or take any pleasure in vanquishing the aggressor. We are to tre

The final sentence of this review is this: > MacCulloch’s unspoken conclusion might well be that religion should begin again from scratch. The Great(est) Command(ment) is to love our Creator with all our being, and then love our neighbor

The truth is simple, yet insidiously difficult to manifest: We are to self-evolve ourselves such that we are completely compassionate. Our love for our fellow human beings leads us to understand how we sometimes act selfishly with them, cau

Cool, I've been listening to the last 1.5hr or so of Idoru recently (sequel to Virtual Light). I really like Rez's bodyguard Blackwell. Gibson's description, in Idoru, of Slitscan's audience is one of my favorite pieces

Well said. If the database they're built with is well curated and the queries run against them make sense, then I imagine they could be a very, very good kind of local search engine. But, training one on twitter and reddit comments? Yi

I don't doubt that that's true, but my surfing there has been effectively nonexistent, so I know that I don't know. I'd hazard a guess, however, that there is a great deal of variance between different subreddits.
