This looks like complete fabrication by an AI agent.

In addition to being irrelevant, these accusations aren't competent.

You seem to have forgotten the point of your comment, which was to offer an analogous case where surely one wouldn't expect two different values ... but the fact that lists have reference semantics and numbers (not just "constants

They tried to seize the certificates ... if some quickwitted and brave staffers hadn't quickly spirited them away, they would have.

Certainly none of what you wrote here about what happened is what happened.

The DNC had nothing to do with it. Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts--that was the justice system working. He was then gifted complete freedom from consequences--that was the justice system not working. There are other falsehoods in y

It's like calling "a bill recently introduced by Assembly Member Bauer-Kahan" ... "California's new bill". It's not California's anything, and won't be unless/until it becomes part of Cali

I don't know why people attack strawmen that no one said. (Well, actually, I do know.)

Obviously , it's not "California's" anything, and won't be until/unless it becomes part of California's legal code.

by jibal 8mo ago
It's highly misleading to call a bill that was introduced a couple of days ago by one Assembly member "California's new bill". Bills aren't laws and most bills go nowhere.

Here's a response I got from Gemini (you can infer the relevant parts of my query): Bostrom is a philosopher of technology, and his writing often treats science as an information problem rather than a physical, experimental problem. Yo

Reading notes is only necessary because of how lossy human memory is. Reading notes doesn't give you new information, it just reinforces memory paths ... which will fade and you'll have to read the notes again later unless you fre

Exchange between me and Claude Sonnet 4.5 me: I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive? Claude: *Walk.* 50 meters is less than a minute on foot. By the time you get in the car, start it, drive 50 meters,

First, you completely flubbed the question, which is supposed to be phrased as a counterfactual. Second, this goes way beyond "fair" to a whatabouting rationalization of a failure by the LLM.

There have only been 4 12 year old GMs in history, and none of them are competitive with Carlsen. There's a lot more wrong with your comment that someone capable of making logical inferences can readily see, so I won't go into the
