I'll drink to that! Seriously, it feels like society has drifted too far away from the idea of small, local communities. So much of modern life separates people either physically or technologically. Though I would like to blame modern

I have found LLMs to be "good enough" for: - imprecise semantic search - simple auto-completion (1-5 tokens) - copying patterns with substitutions - inserting commonly-used templates

The financial position of the US is precarious, at best. I seriously doubt there is any painless way to correct course, as Congress seems to have lost the ability to compromise. Looking into the future, the US will go the way of the former

I have never felt thirsty when dehydrating. People's response to dehydration or over-hydration is not uniform.

I concur. In fact, I believe Twitter links should be banned outright. For me, Twitter has blocked my access because I had 2-factor authentication turned on before they started charging extra for it. Now they won't let me view any Twitt

Given that logics (of all sorts) are subsets of mathematics, I'm not sure one can convincingly hoist (any) logic above all other mathematics to make arguments.
