   OK, now do Surah 2:191, 3:28, 3:85, 5:33, 8:12, 8:60, 8:65, 9:5, 9:30, 9:123, 22:19, and 47:4. All only taken from the Quran. And I have a much longer list. These are some of the same verses that are quoted over and over again by those comm

   Don't ask it for specific verses. Go fishing for a collection of them as a complete Quran neophyte. Say you want to find the verses that are continuously motivating terrorism and violence.

   That's just a factual statement. He wasn't agreeing with it, promoting it or lying about it. So... What, again?

   Yes, but there should be a difference between providing answers about provably dangerous things and providing provably false answers for political reasons. For example if there is a Russian LLM that refuses to answer any questions about hom

   Wherever there is difficulty, there is also opportunity. I think the major thing stopping people from just going their own way is healthcare coverage. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) I wonder if I can hack a business model that somehow prov

   Meanwhile, I am flooded with recruiter "opportunities" that are nowhere near my capabilities. There's noise all around happening. Maybe the problem is that spamming people is free.

    What happened to the old moral rule of "if you explain to your mom what you are doing and she is dismayed, you are doing things wrong"? Because what Newag is doing very clearly violates it.

    The real story here is that a man with no Swift experience but who had a funny idea banged out a Mac app in a spare afternoon, probably with LLM assistance

    Well, that is certainly one way to attack the problem!

    Even a 20x multiple of such a number is still a relatively tiny number. You can consider this the cost of the Second Amendment today . The difference is that when new technology comes along that will let you incapacitate someone without ki

    This should be disturbing. If there is a true alibi exonerating someone, then there would have been no truthful evidence against him. And yet, a man without truthful evidence against him was almost put to death row. Why is that? Have we sto

    > The answer is not Yet Another Tool In The Chain Normally, that would be true, but Nix has wiped out my need for homebrew, asdf, and a bunch of other tooling, so it still satisfies your requirement by leaving fewer dependencies overall

    Nix solves it for me. Takes a bit more effort upfront, but the payoff is "Python dependency determinism," which is pretty much unachievable in any other way, so...

    I feel like a major selling point of Nix is "solving the Python dependency-hell problem" (as well as that of pretty much every other stack) I've seen so many issues with different Python venvs from different Python project di

    I have a 3.5 year old son and the thought HAS occurred to me- "if we never learned to 'behave' (i.e., conform to societal norms), would we all just continue to be little selfish dopamine monsters?" lol You might say the

    We already do that, but maybe even more is necessary. The problem is that I'm 52 and already had sleep apnea/CPAP, she is 49, and my son is 3. Every day is an exhausting marathon.
