Robot is giving too much credit. It’s rather a fancy dumb autocorrect emulating some corpus. The only place LLMs should be trusted is how we all probably originally tried them out: “Write me a poem about a space traveling teddy bear in the

I’m in the opposite scenario - my vote will not matter since my county/state is not close to 50/50. It’s a laughably depressing system. I think (without any supporting evidence) the national election system was designed to fit to

Yes. It makes the experience much better when anything is moving. Hard to convince by words, it’s a try it and then go back to 60 to see what you’re missing. Similar to hard drive vs SSD. Before I used a machine with a SSD for the first tim

Wow that’s a lot of restrictions on your communications. Restricting people’s communication and separating them friends and family is what cults often do. Was there a good reason for this? Like cost of international calls in the 2000s? Aski

I understand your perspective, and have felt similarly at times. OTOH I appreciate having some culture and some fun things in our field and teaching materials that would otherwise be pushed out by being 100% reasonable and logical all the t

Is there a better word for this sort of transaction (non-resellable, arbitrary cancellation of service at some unknown point in time by some entities)? “License” seems too legal, and implies either a lifetime license or fixed term license,

Thanks for your response AnonymousPlanet. I agree there is value in the pursuit of a minimal set of features in a PL which brings many benefits. And of course the opposite - an overly feature packed and/or extensible PL as a core featu
