Grasping nuance and implications of human replies is also something LLMs struggle with.

I'm certain the account operator's parents think he is smart.

If you were around for the heyday of Markov chain email and Usenet spam this whole thing is familiar. Sure AI slop generation is not directly comparable to Markov process and generated texts are infinitely smoother yet it has similar mental

Right. We have some wealthy friends here in Norway who's also bemoaning the taxes and always bringing up moving someplace like Switzerland. Except it's never going to happen: in the kind of business they are (very mundane, not any

That 3.5% rule stopped working some time ago with the rise of technical surveillance state. There are now several notorious counter-examples.

Good luck with hypersonic nukes when your patrols are pecked by ambushes and FPV drones in the spaghetti of neighborhoods with opposing alignments.

I held a work permit in Europe. There are categories of immigrants who can work freely e.g. residence permits granted via family reunification or asylum. However a professional work permit is tied to your employer and this is the case until

Nearly all tools used professionally now are harder than hard Ti alloys. HSS has been niche for decades now. > and titanium is prone to catching fire during machining (so the work piece usually needs to be submerged during) Using spray o

More important, in the nearly hundred and fifty years it has taken for the church to assume its final form, Gaudí’s once revolutionary aesthetic no longer looks futuristic. Early critics of the Sagrada Família accused Gaudí of being too ov

From what I've seen at the time Total Commander didn't stick unless the user was already exposed to NC or its clones. People starting afresh with Windows 95 couldn't be arsed to use anything except File Explorer.

As in culturally coded. Say MS BASIC was also written by a boomer but most users were Gen X.

Musk's use of social media and his involvement in recreational activities is way too much for 80h/week. He's clearly more of a 4 day workweek type tho shy about it.

Funnily you can still buy packs of plastic straws, just that they are sold as "resuable" with a cleaning brush (which noone likely ever uses). They are simply not the default option now and that's enough to make some people r

Am also in Europe but consider how as a pedestrian you're passed by hundreds drivers daily each of whom can end your life any moment at a whim. Not saying that weapons carry is a great idea just explaining how it works.

I liked the author's chocolate analogy although not in the way they intended. Yes it's a known reproducible tech and yes Hershey dominates there. Hershey is also the worst crap you can buy for the money.

Hope you realize that once you subscribe to this naive-mechanistic view of politics all American wars and actions abroad also become justified.
