Most people have no idea how to hunt, make a fire, or grow food. If all grocery stores and restaurants run out of food for a long enough time people will starve. This isn't a problem in practice though, because there are so many grocer

Exactly. How many times have we seen politics adapt to the new realities of the day? Everything is really downstream of technology. A few examples: - The Printing Press - The Steam Engine - Factories - The Internal Combustion Engine - The I

If you can't enforce the law, then it is a bad law. Also, this is a problem that naturally solves itself over time, so no law was ever needed. The UX of the web degraded for everyone after GDPR was passed and that I think everyone can

That's hilarious. It even has a "web-scraper-easter-egg" as the id of the div, so I think you may be correct about this.

How exactly is the bottom going to fall out? And are you really trying to present that you have practical experience building comparable tools to an LLM prior to the Transformer paper being written? Now, there does appear to be some shenani

Except you didn't offer any evidence for your position, provide any references, or provide any sort of logical argument. You offer your own platitude and then condemn other commenters for doing so, hypocrisy.

It's federation that is the problem. Federation leads to fragmentation, which ultimately is a headwind to adoption. IMHO you need a single network that allows people to choose the "channels" that you can view/join and th

It reads left to right, top to bottom. Ingredients are on the left and then each step boxes around the items involved in that step. Using the mushroom soup recipe as an example: (1) Melt the butter. (2) Wash and dice the onions, celery, and

IMHO for mostly text data where you need a bit of custom formatting(e.g. cooking recipes) I would probably choose to go with AsciiDoc and then just adapt a rendering engine to make it look pretty. This way you get all the tooling and learni
