What about the meta-metaphors of a literal "american airline" full of civilians minding its own business and following the rules and then literally t-boned by an american war machine. Also, they were leaving Dwight D. Eisenhower a

Well, I'd say it's probably 'right' like 95% of the time where it conveys a good sense of the original intent/sentiment. But, that other 5% is what is "way too often" because in those instances it can be s

here are the bits as I've come to understand them: - there was a similar incident just the day before where a helicopter's path came close to a similar plane. It was high enough, so the plane received the TCAS (traffic alert/

I've intentionally been running it now just to see how wrong its summaries of messages are. So often, it relays the exact opposite of the intent and I want to understand why.

That's a great example actually. What search terms led you there? Is there a category for nonsmartphone there? What does someone with limited knowledge of available options do there?

I can't tell if you misspelled narrow or if "narro" is somehow referring to "narrated" type content we now see so much of. Or even just weird narrative things (eg, recipes).

They already have a landline phone and don’t need a cell. And then the options for dumb phones are slim.

If they can get out, they have a chance. There was a crash on the Potomac in January 1982 and there were several survivors. The video of the rescue is pretty crazy. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/from-the

To follow the tense and delivery of the previous sentence, it would have been clearest to say "Then when Ulbricht..." That "then" always does a lot of heavy lifting in English prose.

You're right as far as I know. But it's also funny to type in both "nobody" and "anybody" into Google translate and they both translate to "personne".

French, which treats zero as a singular I believe has a weird way of saying "no one" Personne on its own means ''no one'', but une personne means a person.

I think TikTok gets special status because its algorithm is just SO GOOD. If instagram was Chinese owned/influenced, we wouldn’t see this kind of potential control. TikTok is probably building models from all possible data: what angle

It’s fascinating to talk to people from different cultures or different political leanings and find out how the internet that they browse is vastly different to the one I experience. Yet we aren’t necessarily seeking out different things.

How will YouTube shorts, and instagram stories pivot? They already aren’t seen as true rivals, but maybe they can change or spinoff a third brand. The gold in TR has always been its algorithm. Maybe they can fake it. How easy will it be to
