Yes, but voters are forced to choose between the fuckers who screwed them yesterday and the fuckers who will screw them tomorrow.

Yes, but that's just how it works. A respected designer brings talent and years of experience, expertise, theoretical knowledge, and intuition to their task. But like most of us, they aren't very good at introspecting to explain t

The ciphertext is not the plaintext (obviously). So an encrypted password is not a password. An encrypted password is a string resulting from the application of an encryption algorithm and a key to a password. Uploading that string is not u

They say they can’t, but it’s impossible to be certain. Although, if you distrust Apple enough to think they might lie about it, you probably wouldn’t want to use any Apple device or services. They already have privileged access to the soft

This may be annoying, but it’s uploading encrypted versions of passwords, not passwords themselves. Keychain is end-to-end encrypted so no one else can read them.

Many things are named after Robin Hood. It's not as though the brokerage invented the term or has any right of exclusive use. You'd have to be quite dim-witted to muddle up a brokerage and a load balancer.

It'd be annoying to me whether it was AI or human. The faux-excitement and pseudo-bonhomie is grating. They should focus on how people actually talk, not on copying the vocal intonation of coked-up public radio presenters just back fro

I'm not sure Russel Brand is the best ambassador for plain English.

That's nice. On the other hand, I'm fat because I eat too much. It makes me unhealthy and less attractive. I welcome GLP-1s and think they definitely should be prescribed for cosmetic weight loss. Others can use whatever psycholog

What does "work on their computer" mean to you? I suspect it's not what it means to the vast majority of people.

It's useful for ideation: suggesting ideas and concepts that you might not think of. A bit like a conceptual thesaurus. But it doesn't replace the hard work of thinking for yourself.

Luna stigmatizes people with mental illnesses (lunatic) and Artemis was the goddess of virginty—valorizing feminine virginity is misogynistic. You can play this game with every possible name.

That sentiment originated in discussions of English common law, where it was being contrasted with European legal codes.

I'm happy to bite the bullet. I have taken sides and I want my side to win. People who give material support to the enemy should face consequences. I come to this conclusion because war is an inevitable "humanity problem",

You're looking at it from a developer's perspective. For non-developers, vision opens up all sorts of new capabilities. And they won't have to rely on the software creator's view of what should be automated and what shou

We are not far from war because Russia invaded Europe. This developer works for a company supplying materiel to the Russian military.

The ones that are easy to spot are easy to spot. You have no idea how much AI-generated work you didn't spot, because you didn't spot it.

But alcoholism and regular alcohol consumption aren't the same thing, are they? Alcoholics regularly consume alcohol, but not everyone who regularly consumes alcohol is an alcoholic. I like to have a glass of single malt in the evening

I’m a technical writer. I use Kagi dozens of times a day for research. I particularly like custom lenses where I can limit search results to a client’s site, their existing documentation, related standards and regulations, etc. Plus, I can

AI apps like Perplixity and Phind index and rank web content too. They have the same problem.

Prove how powerful "the system" is by doing something useful or value-generating with it. Then people will believe you. Talk is cheap.

It can be quite eye-opening to travel from say, the UK to Hungary. Walk down a busy street in London and you'll see many overweight people. Walk down a similar street in Budapest, and you'll see very few.

Not for native speakers, but I've heard non-native speakers use "I made X to do Y" in that way.

Deborah Ross is a “she” not a “hen” and having read her reviews for many years, I believe I’m on safe ground saying she wouldn’t appreciate the implication of ambiguity or uncertainty in that regard.

Does that demonstrate that therapy is effective or that medications are ineffective?

Tens of millions of people want to host a WordPress site and very few of them want to deal with setting up a database, editing config files, securing a server. Most of them have no idea what that stuff means.

I accidentally generated a NSFW image in Bing Image Creator. I asked for an image of a woman in a low-cut 18th Century dress, among other details for a scene. It produced an image of a woman with a dress much lower cut than I had envisaged.

I think consecutive Governments have used immigration to shore up GDP and blamed someone else for the problems it causes, whether that's the EU, the civil service, human rights lawyers, or whomever.
