If you need a website version of your book, I would check out Quarto. It generates ePubs (and other e-formats), a website version, and a PDF. If you just want a print book, I wouldn't bother with something like this. https:/&#x2F

That’s simply not true. A very large majority were in favor. Some were opposed, yes. Using “we” is a proper generalization. Everybody is offended by generalizations today. (See what I did there?) but you can’t talk coherently without them

If only! I've tried and given up. Nothing mutes them.

Trying to equate theft with writing software bugs seems like a bad road to go down.

You should point out to all of them now what the consequences would have been of blindly following the LLM. It's an important lesson they can and should learn from.

It's impressive, yes, but the lips are off and delayed. It's pretty bad compared to video.

Then the person that chooses who to rent their apartment to is not discriminating against anybody either, right?

So, you'd be happy for it to be illegal for you to choose somebody to marry? Would need to be a lottery system.

Great links. Thanks for sharing. But I don't know that they are incompatible.

Absolutely possible. People don't want their standard of living to suffer, and when offered a loan to keep it up, many will take it. I could have accidentally graduated with substantially more debt than I did. I was offered more loan m

But Amazon refuses to be the actual seller taking the risk in the first place. They aren’t buying jerky from anybody and then selling it. Until they decide to make their own based on the actual seller’s data.

You didn't do a very good job trusting or verifying: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/09/supreme-court-co... > The 5th Circuit appeals court saw things differently, finding that Biden admini

Some can plug in. I'm not sure how many, though. I thought plug-in hybrids were new in the last few years, and I thought many hybrids are still being sold that cannot plug in.

You've claimed this a lot, but the article says the opposite, and you've not addressed that.

Hybrids that are never plugged in are just slightly more efficient ICE cars.

It would be interesting if this was the case that blew up Google's model of forcing everything to be "decided" by a computer, refusing to allow humans to be involved.

Ignoring the fact that there were concerted efforts by people in various government branches to attack and get rid of Trump while he was president makes your argument silly. Just because Trump was in office doesn't mean his political e

The Twitter Files were precisely what Taibbi said. The USG telling social media companies which people should have their speech censored.

I'm interested in this claim that women are majority users. Sources?

So you're trying to convince me that more centralization of power is good, so that a federal judge that screwed up one county can be replaced by a cabal that can screw up the whole country?

"The US" doesn't have power outages. Even most states don't have power outages. But yes, there are some poorly run places in the US.

If the government makes a rule that nobody is allowed to use "inefficient" light bulbs anymore, and then gives the power to a bureaucrat to determine what is "inefficient," that's a great example of the administrati

I'm not denying there are benefits to being able to control (even more) demand as well as supply. This would make it technically possible to run the whole system more efficiently. You know what I noticed when I had an old house with

I don't think it's fallacy. I'm not saying the future is guaranteed. I'm saying that we've managed to solve this problem in the past in different ways, so it's not very compelling for the parent to say that it&

Having experts ask me not to turn on my washing machine and warn that blackouts are possible is precisely the right solution. Giving them power to reach into my home and turn off the outlet my washing machine is on is definitely not &qu

Prove that it is life-saving instead of life destroying. Oh, nevermind. You’d need the data that they sued to keep you from getting your hands on. But yeah, I’m sure they have nothing to hide and this is just good technology with no problem

How does it feel to have websites and books and newspapers and practically every other place silently ignore your double spaces and treat them as a single space?

If you run it after breakfast dishes aren't available at all before lunch. If you run it after dinner, dishes can't be finished (put away) until the next morning unless you want to stay up late.
