Reminds me of an interview I watched with an author where she used the word "bifurcated" instead of split, which made me chuckle, because she said "the book is actually bifurcated into two halves". Bifurcated already im

What a load of rubbish... Your entire argument hinges on what you consider 'fair compensation' and your value judgement about energy cost. Guess what--living your life and using resources is not unethical

Each section has a clear heading. If you don't care about a section, all you have to do is scroll a little bit. No one is forcing you to read the "about me" section. Some people actually enjoy reading about tools, rather th

Jiminy Cricket, you're right! We shall build dung huts instead to be even more eco-friendly

Right, let's just sit around in our tents in the dark and try not to move or speak unless absolutely necessary. Moving is not always essential, and has a caloric cost, which means food consumption. Are you sure being on this site rig

Ah, I see your point now. Makes sense

No, "whom" is the objective form, and in this context, it functions as the object of the verb "is asking."

> Thus I'm suggesting that it can be justifiable to bomb a hospital or school in which enemy combatants are launching attacks from, yet also justifiable to do an act of violence on enemy taxpayers + potential conscripts in general.

And the explanations also don't even resolve anything. "OK, then where did God come from?" or "OK, then where did the simulation come from?". I just don't see the point.

I wonder if a pressure chamber would be feasible. Might be cheaper to incinerate, honestly. Or irradiate

Perhaps, but other things that should be followed (such as compliance) are handled by other teams, even though every team should strive to be compliant. Maybe the difference is that one has actual legal ramifications, while the other doesn

They also get problems wrong, in the most dumb way possible. I've tested it out many times where the LLM got most of the more 'difficult' part of the problem right, but then forgot to do something simple in the final answer-

So disheartening. It's insane that in the US that public officials aren't held accountable for basically defrauding the public, like a banana republic. Worst of all, most people don't even care. I don't even recall or

Remember during the public commentary about removing it, there were millions of automated messages claiming to be pro-removal? What ever happened with that? Did anyone ever get in trouble?

Try reading the rest of the review and you will see multiple explanations for why things are not a good idea. I don't even think your cherry picked example is that repetitive. It sounds like a normal conversation to me.

Your review doesn't take the time to explain why something is a bad idea though. I didn't think his tone was that bad. I think it depends on how you imagine the conversation in real life. I would prefer to have my review be b

I used Delphi in the 90's and early 00's, and really loved how simple it was to create desktop applications. I tried to get back into Pascal via Lazarus a few years ago, but was just very turned off by Pascal itself. The convent

The "Friend Activity" screen is also pretty much non-functioning. We had the ability to see what our friends were listening to in various other apps decades ago (usually via some plugin)

Have you ever conducted a simple experiment to prove you were not just lucid dreaming? It is a pretty easily falsifiable claim

It was a great insight, but now it is common knowledge

> I don't think people should have right to be forgotten, just like they shouldn't have the right to be killed by someone or right to be sold to slavery. I don't see your logic at all. The premise is something which the p

That's actually not a terrible idea... depending on if people ask questions or if you have extra time while presenting, the ability to take a small detour would be pretty cool

I think you will have to accept that you won't have time to sit down and grind leetcode or work on a project for very long. You might have only a few minutes to dedicate each day. I would see if you can find 15 minutes here and there

At the end of the day, I think that you must respect a person's autonomy to listen to what they choose and to make up their own minds, even if they don't come to the conclusions that you want them to. Advocacy and change are ongoi
