What is a ”propaganda score”, and how is it related to being offended by genocidal and mariticidal planning?

I’m not an expert on this, so I’m not familiar with what RDF graphs are, but I feel like everything you’re describing happens textually, and used as context? That is, it’s not at all ”learning” the way it’s learning during training, but by

The article has a very nuanced point about why it’s not just a matter of today’s vs tomorrow’s LLMs. What’s lacking is a fundamental capacity to build mental models and learn new things specific to the problem at hand. Maybe this can be fix

If this was a write-up about someone’s personal WFH office setup, it would be pretty cool. Written as a case by a design firm it seems very underwhelming. It just looks like a tiny room crammed with equipment. Wouldn’t you at least go for c

Good opportunity to share this life hack: I used to end up with a mess almost every time I used my coffee grinder, much like the picture in the article. Eventually I learned that this only happens with very dry beans. Adding a few tiny drop

If you found all the words, surely that means there is no 1-letter word to find? Unless I’m completely misunderstanding the rules.

It’s more like if they sold you a lawnmower, but kept the key to start it, and now they’re dead, and someone bought their key cabinet.

What is the hidden phrase? I suppose ”Plants plans plan pan” can be understood as a grammatically correct phrase, but a really quite odd one. I don’t think that’s what’s intended to be a hidden phrase?
