LLMs and other IT applications have the distinct advantage that they require no other raw materials as input, aside from initial setup, extension, and maintenance. Under these conditions the requirements essentially boil down to real estate

Those rely on a strong centralized government that can somehow penalize people for not keeping records up to date. Not necessarily by direct checks, but maybe via inconveniences caused by inaccuracies. They are probably using other data (ag

It sucks when you have to keep in contact with your family and your acquaintances during a, let's say, developing situation, and the government decides to shut it down.

Heating with gas is difficult to phase out since it's a major investment. It would require large-scale build out of remote heating. Replacing IC engines is a whole different story, and it's not clear whether electric cars are a co

This is not the first time the curl project complains about bogus and excessive bug reports.

The validity of relative measurements in recipes starts to break down as soon as eggs are in play, which are not easily subdivided. On the other hand, that rarely matters and most recipes are fine with up to one more or less egg.

So one just needs a conveniently sized measurement cup then.

You better take precautions against frostbite below that temperature though. And a lot of things need to be watched as they could be frozen then.

Right, we are just arguing which is the most practical range. It's like choosing a calendar: we could define one using entirely metric time units, but nobody would want to use it as long as human civilization is anchored on Planet Eart

The difference between a yard and a meter adds up quickly. Already a 25 yard swimming pool yields significantly different times to cross it than a 25 meter one.

In either case this neither means that they are now immune against that specific strain, nor that they can't or won't get infected by another. Therefore that reasoning is flawed.

You have a pretty strongly worded stance, but you don't provide an argument for it. May I suggest you detail why exactly you think their perspective is wrong, apart from "a lot of problems in the past could have been avoided"

I'd ask the opposite: are hospitals the places where the immunities develop or are they merely the places where the presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria is most deadly and therefore investigated? The dangerous thing about antibiot
