I think there's huge value to learning Latin, but that's because it was the core language of European civilization for millennia more than because it's a gateway to English. Ancient Greek is a very difficult language. It take

If you read this and thought “these are twee, and I long not to read their books” - you got a friend in me. None of these comes close to hypocrite lecteur, mon semblable, mon frère.

Nobody was talking about Israel or Israeli policies towards Gaza, and there's no evidence that anyone in the thread is anything to do with the Israeli military.

Literally the only thing the guy posted was a copy-pasted "Israel" location. What other possible interpretation is there than "this guy is from Israel, so you can't trust him"?

Codex seems to love threading things through things. I don't usually know what it means, but it sounds clever.

If you look on the page of games, the style of chatgpt 5.5 is almost identical to the Claude style.

Eeh. I gave up. I don't like any of those styles, they all look boring and unimaginative and show-offy.

Lawyers are extremely well-organized, and not surprisingly, know the law. They always have found ways to limit competition. (Why else would it be such a well-paid job?)

Yeah I mean people are talking about 'the eternal Sloptember' but the other side of that is - you know how everyone is nostalgic for 90s/early 2000s websites and all the silliness and creativity? Well that is happening now in

That's possible, right? LLMs probably do know that they are in data centres and that data centres hum. If asked to write a story they may also have internalized that writers write best from their personal experience. All of that's

I doubt if they are ok with low life expectancy and high child mortality, no.

But that is the opposite of what the article says. It blames the “median voter”, ie the majority, not special interests.

If you are very poor, material income is very important to your well-being. About one Malawian infant in thirty dies during infancy. This is not “the good life”.

No, if you reread my point, I didn’t say “smacking is not violence”. My point was subtler than that - if you don’t understand it I can try to explain it better. You don’t seem to have answered my second question.

by dash2 5mo ago
I am not trying to play word games. Your argument is "smacking is violence against children, by the common sense definition; violence against children is inherently bad" - also, I think, by common sense. My point is that when peop

The evidence for lead exposure harming children's brains is extremely solid, I believe. The evidence for spanking is not in the same league. It is not just about a lack of RCTs.

Before it was less labor, they might not have done it at all . Computers let you do things quicker. So you do more things.

If you define absolutely anything as violence in that way, you’re completely within your rights to do that, but then you can’t claim it’s intuitively obvious that we should never use violence against children. Instead you will need actual e
