   There was an infamous supreme court case[0] in 2010 which has set off a steady increase in campaign. Before that influencing campaigns with money was much more regulated. Since then it seems to me (I am not an expert in this) that there&#x2

   To add to this, language models are now quite good at explaining legalese, so that limits the positive impact of pushing for plainer language.

   IMO single people should also make more. I just think "can they support a family of 4" is a decent heuristic for whether people are getting paid enough.

    I guess we disagree on whether unions should fight for enough wages for their workers to support a family.

    Let's put those numbers in perspective: $100k is about $72k after tax[0]. Suppose I want to support a family in NYC. Average cost of living is about $9,000/mo for a family of four[1]. That's $108,000 per year. Or about $36,00

    How can an economy function if there is no way to get any value from producing anything? Google (and Facebook, a few other platforms) made it so that the vast majority of websites are never visited. ChatGPT further erodes the possibility of

    This is a false dichotomy. Clearly getting money and control are the main objectives here, and we're all operating over a distribution of possible outcomes.

    Isn't this reasoning circular? How would a significant fraction of consumers use Linux if it's not supported by a monopolist? edit: also, is the premise even true? Are these compute farms really running windows?

    It's nice if you're into home cheesemaking. E.g. with Mozzarella or Ricotta you have to heat milk up to pasteurization temperature during the process but if your milk comes pre-pasteurized then that's somewhat comparable to r

    I'm locked out of meta, could someone try with specific locations and see if that changes things? I am curious whether this is a race-word prompt override or whether it's some kind of model fine-tuning e.g. "Norwegian woman w

    Is the implication that when you label something a "war" it becomes justified? That this happens a lot and is therefore ok? I'm trying to find a charitable way to interpret your reply.

    Apparently Hamas is the only thing that matters to some. That there are many people in the area affected by the conflict is not material. This one is the blueprint for something truly dystopian.
