How long do you think the loop will remain closed? 10 years? 100 years? 1000 years?

I am not! You said that there are certain tipping points which, when reached, mean that your local water source might be "consumed" - meaning it does not regenerate and goes away permanently. By contrast, in the link you gave (and

This comparison sounds to me like it is downplaying the significance of the numbers. California's almond-growing is another gross environmental crime, which is regularly controversial in California.

> Imbalance the system, and you have indeed "consumed" your local water supply. Right, but this is not what is reported by "water consumption". It would be much better to have some kind of index (probably multiple) th

You can't find new artists because art already exists? I feel like you're ignoring my question. It is not a good solution to "art is slop" to decouple yourself financially from all human artists. Your choice is making hu

Why can't you just find authors you like and respect, that you trust not to write slop? Why go all cabin-in-the-woods about it?

Why would you believe anything posted on X? The platform deliberately promotes misinformation, and has for years.

This definitely does not extend to games. I remember microsoft games having terrible UX over a decade ago (not the game, the account garbage around it).

Of course there isn't a physical distinction. This is a bit like saying there isn't a difference between a novel and a poem, because they're just words on a page. The distinction is nonphysical, but it is also obviously not r

Please explain in your own words how "virtue signalling" differs from "expressing a moral position" and how the difference is visible in the comment you're replying to.

AI writing tics usually also make text hard to read. I figure you mean "tics which don't affect the readability" but these are pretty rare.

I think they would obviously be happy with the alternative wording "it's about what was created" or just "it's about the product". I don't think they care about any aspect of how it came to exist.

It is far, far less effective than deriving the solution yourself. Don't take my word for it: > If you absolutely cannot do it then go home and think but for heavens sakes don't look it up in a book till you give up. Looking it

Without any way to access the corresponding text, this is unfortunately an idea I hope never gets any significant adoption. I wonder if there is a way to make the underlying text accessible. OCR could presumably attempt to get at which lett

I am prepared to admit that the model usually doesn't get things outright incorrect (unless you ask it to count letters). But the solution does contain a lot of nonsense. Not false nonsense, but meaningless or irrelevant sentences th

The inconvenience is always with the person writing the package. When you restrict the build to a sandbox, if it fails, it's because the package actually depends on the thing the sandbox is limiting (usually network requests during the

What does "scanning for malware" mean? As far as I know this is a totally open question, and the only credible answers (install in a sandbox) are too inconvenient for widespread adoption.

I disagree. Maintainers for the major distributions take their roles very seriously, and do a very good job generally of filtering out malicious packages. The AUR is an outlier, being essentially an unmaintained wild west.

If you let your cat outside, please put a bell or something on them. The average cat hunts far more than they eat, and generally destroy local bird populations.

> So, it sounds like nothing of much value has been lost. Do you actually mean this? To me this sounds like someone said "you never learn anything by reading a high school essay", and you reply "so stop writing them".

I'll answer in reverse order. I think what you suggest works! Putting it in the wording of my original comment: Mary IS 24, Ann WAS 12, and the same amount of time gets you from 12 to Ann's current age, and from Ann's current
