Oh I did, did you miss it? You confusingly compared both systems to email, and capitalized a bunch of words which offers a reading experience not unlike walking barefoot on gravel, and failed to explain why email is actually a good thing.

If some institution predating and then coexisting with the Constitution is enough to grant it a constitutional pedigree, there's a whole lot of other nonsense that would qualify. More to the point, this doesn't address anything of

At bottom it's kind of a kludge, which the US has unfortunately waited until now to test in the courts. There are a lot of reasons why letting the executive control the Fed would be massively destabilizing. None of those reasons go to

The only complexity AI reduces is the cognitive complexity of writing it. The code itself almost certainly will not be free of Brooks' nonessential complexity, and the reader is SOL. It's like putting on an exo suit, lifting somet

It's unfortunate. I was willing to look past the clumsy, braggart clickbait title because there might actually be something behind the bluster. I was ready to learn something, and instead I found that the "author" doesn'

The technology is the bottleneck. LLMs are at best part of a workable solution. We're trying to make a speech center into a brain.

For any company that wants to secure and maintain critical source infrastructure for a language, community/maintainer relations is a fundamental responsibility . It is not to be waved away with quasi-candid admissions that you're

Being "used in a commercial, for-profit setting" is not a thing. Their images were not being sold, nor were they being used to promote the concert. Plus, nearly everyone who goes to a concert these days agrees that their image wil

With Apple, the bloom is off the rose, and as with a lot of big business lately, the prose misses the mark. Its copy was once great. Now we get "Awe-dropping", the latest example of marketing professionals coming up with the most

I'm not naive. It's no less important to call it out for what it is. More, even.

Sounds like a massive violation of the right to due process. No-fly lists were bad enough, but you were still allowed to leave and come back. The executive has the power to revoke passports, no question. But it can't neglect a process

While of course not quite apples to apples, it's still interesting to consider what the reaction would be if Apple complied with a government order to block a domain entirely on all its devices. Where, ultimately, is the difference?

"It's not just for _____, it's actually ____" Cannot unsee this incredibly played-out LLM trope, especially in this case where it's used almost every other paragraph.

Congrats on publishing. You should use this as a starting point for developing stronger opinions about web design. I recommend going through the site with a highly critical eye, and giving thought how your desired audience would experience

I don't see the point of doing that; the stories' power comes from myth/archetype. They're fables. Anansi is a trickster god; the characters he tricks tend to be other gods, spirits or archetypes. They're not normal
