The music that Suno generates as anti-folk is pretty aesthetic, but when you read into what anti-folk is meant to be as a genre, I can't help but feel that an AI algorithm spitting out music and lyrics is pretty far from anti-commercia

Just curious if you have a screenshot or a list of the top n results for "avi to mp4" when using Kagi so that there is a bit of a data point for comparison captured in thread?

Very interesting. A small tweak and it seems like this could be applied to the problem of identifying degree of separation from political dissidents or other targets with the right data source. Lots of tools already exist that do that, but

First, Harris isn't Biden. Second, when Trump calls immigrants criminals, I'm pretty sure he means it. How many generations do you have to look back before you find an immigrant among someone you call friend or family? We are a na

Shout out to the downvoters by the way. Very odd that people who want thicker skin in our culture would find it so distasteful that I've simply shared some recent history and some first-hand personal experience without any particular n

I agree that nobody is privileged in absolute terms, and do not feel that your statement conflicts with anything I have written. We seem to also agree that abstractions can be useful, but perhaps disagree on whether or not the "realnes

I think you have a point, and I have often felt the same way. However, it gets very murky when deciding where the line of "currently relevant" gets drawn versus what is just "historical". There are so many factors, inclu

Your comment is grounded in some truths and yet in this specific instance is very off base. From the article: > Curiously, this experimental antibiotic had no effect on other species of bacteria, and works only on A. baumannii. This is a

My apologies, this was a misquote. Actually instead of saying "Filtered out by 9%", the article says "Filtered out 9%". So Hispanic men in this age and height bracket created height filters that reduced the size of the o

So awkwardly, you should ignore the above observations due to a misreading of the site. I also can't go back and add an edit applying a warning to them, I guess because of a time limitation on edits? > Hispanic men, 25-29 years old,

Yeah, it took me a bit too. You have to look at it on the Economist and not the archive.vn mirror. Y axis is Height (or whatever you've set in the "Show by drop down" and X axis is the title of the graph, "Share of possi
