You're likely able to sell that chest in the form of Roman currency for much more than if you melted it into a solid gold bar.

You offer to sell me shares of your stock for $10 each. I am not your friend. I do not think your offering supports your valuation so I decline. I think your stock might be worth $2 a share, I convince your friend I am right. Your friend se

I usually just start with the comments. If I see an archive link I'll use that (assuming I've determined that the source article is worth reading at all).

I used to do this, but now I lose more money missing work to go to court than the cost of the ticket so I just pay for parking upfront to avoid the whole hassle.

The saying isn't implying that there aren't any things you know you don't know, it's saying that some of the things you don't know are not even conceivable to you without knowing more. You know the question "

You claim that logical and reasonable responses "require understanding" therefore LLMs must understand . But I see LLMs as evidence that understanding is not required to produce logical and reasonable responses. Thinking back

The random Amazon items are probably the "brushing" scam[0] which I guess is about using stolen payment to generate "verified purchases" for fake reviews. [0]: https://www.uspis.gov/news/scam-article

This is probably more rare than you think since very few fraudsters seem to know when to quit. Even after getting away with massive gains there is temptation to do it again (and now the risk seems even more justified due to past experience)

I feel this. I sold the bitcoin I had mined in 2010 for around $800 in 2012 and thought I was an absolute genius.

Perhaps, but one of the rules of this forum is to apply the most charitable reading of comments, so I don't always try that hard to craft perfect responses.

By comparison... That is to say, my comment was meant to inform the concerned reader about other dastardly actors, not to excuse the behavior of the vending machine. (Not sure I have the authority even to make such an excuse.)

It has nothing to do with frostbite except to demonstrate that there may still be a market for a product that is beneficial to homeless people even if the homeless themselves don't buy it. (The homeless, of course, may also be able to

You would need a clearer working model of consciousnes to be able to know whether your efforts were succeeding. But this is the idea behind lab-grown meat, just don't grow the brain at all and you don't have to worry as much.

Courts only care about cases that are brought before them. They're not out looking for cases, that's what law enforcement does and LE is going to look at the context. If the ambulance is being driven by a carjacker they will cite

I don't really care if the error message is cute or whatever. What I care most about is that you did everything possible to prevent me from even seeing the error in the first place. Then, once you've determined the error is not re
