I ended up switching over to Betterbird. It's easier to setup and more stable.

Yes, but you're speaking to a computer, not a person. It, of course, runs into the same limitations that every computer system runs into. In this case, it's undefined/inconsistent behavior when inputs are ambiguous.

Kumbaya is never a motivator. Now, self-interest, on the other hand...

The question does not specify what kind of car it is. Technically speaking, a toy car (Hot wheels or a scaled model) could be walked to a car wash. Now why anyone would wash a toy car at a car wash is beyond comprehension, but the LLM is no

H2 can be transported by trucks. Must lay expensive hydro infrastructure to do the same for electricity.

This is sabre rattling and everyone knows it. A municipality in Germany already tried switching to open source. They're back on Office and Sharepoint.

I'm looking at the next generation. Reading the news is unheard of for 30 and under. They prefer to listen to it or watch it.

No one reads print anymore. Most people nowadays consume their news either through a Youtube broadcast or a podcast. The news is produced for free and completely paid for through advertising. The folks using this site, we're in the (ra

It used to be that all bad writing was uniquely bad, in that a clear line could be drawn from the work to the author. Similarly, good writing has a unique style that typically identifies the author within a few lines of prose. Now all bad w

Exactly! I'm sure most Asian people would fail that test. What a silly thing to measure.

Maybe the school system failed him.

Loved your comment, made my day. Thanks!

Yeah I was thinking mainly of condo towers in cities, which I normally associate with apartment buildings. California has different rules due to high earthquake frequency. It's hard to generalize elsewhere.

by glitchc 8mo ago
Actually apartment buildings are mostly concrete. Strip away finishings like cabinets, drywall and flooring from a unit, and what's left is a concrete cell. Sometimes separating walls within a unit are wood based but that's rare t

Isn't that common knowledge, that plastics aren't feasible without fossil fuels?

Sure, to a country like the US right? Then why not stay there?

As an example: Healthcare. In a public, single-payer model, no amount of money can jump the queue.

To reframe the argument, it's more likely that mechanisms for clearing cellular debris become less effective with age.

Not the same blood, but dead cell matter does accumulate in plasma over time. The body has active mechanisms that perform cleaning: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7392086/

Right. To me the conclusion is that communist theory is fatally flawed. Real world application shows that every real, practical communist system will rely on hyper-violence and ruthlessness to preserve itself. Therefore the average person i

Caveat: Indoors. However, since indoors is typically a private space, the degree of surveillance depends on the owner of the space. Civilians can only compel government agencies to make sure that government buildings do not enable tracking.

It's better to be rich in the US because you can cut ahead of the line in virtually every segment if you have the money.

Proven outcomes in the real world matter, not hypotheticals in a textbook. Can you provide clear examples of successful communist nations where you would be willing to live and raise children, or is this just pseudo-intellectualism?
296.
by glitchc 8mo ago
Doubtful. It has been a series of kingdoms and fiefdoms in internecine conflict since time immemorial.

by glitchc 8mo ago
Versus what exactly? Communism? Where the rich got richer faster and people got fucked faster?

Bitcoin behaves exactly like a fiat currency would if driven completely by market forces. It's a good thought experiment in what the exchange rate would look like if the currency value is purely derived from demand and supply.

Unfortunate but true. Just as true as human drivers doing the same. No technical system guarantees a failure rate of zero.

If you let ideology trump facts, why are you surprised when the "other side" does the same? Those who believe in facts watch both in horror from the sidelines.
