Only because that quote is famous. As you said, it's lossy. Try it with any other distinctive but non-famous passage, and you won't get a correct prediction for the immediately following clause, much less for multiple sentences o

When learning is sufficiently atomized and recombined, creations cease to be "derived from" in a legal sense. A lego sculpture is copyrighted. Lego blocks are not. The threshold between blocks and sculpture is not well-defined,

Journals are not about providing access to science, much less public access. Journals are an academic-career-advancement service. It therefore makes sense that they do not pay academics. You don't pay your customers. That means the

Those are lowball system requirements too. You can easily play or spectate a low-unit count game of BAR on any decent 2010+ quad core. Such a computer won't allow you to play 8v8 that goes into the late-game stage. Sometimes not even

One might also argue that The Little Prince is "far more complex" and deeper than anything written at a typical adult reading level. That lower linguistic surface complexity allows more space for the reader to explore ideas and t

You're arguing things I didn't argue. The top-level comment wasn't about how to do some math problem that Sonnet or even Opus is capable of; it was about math book recommendations, and I was specifically mentioning that even

Very few legislators have expertise in anything except demagoguery, pandering, and graft. Having more of them to form more subcommittees to mess up more areas of the law... no thanks. We need merit-selected technical committees of non-repr
