Is it the redundancy? Or is it because markup is a more natural way to annotate language, which obviously is what LLMs are all about? Genuinely curious, I don’t know the answer. But intuitively JSON is nice for easy to read payloads for tra

This is correct. GP’s rule should be adhered to for bar charts though. Absolute values there are expected. For line charts continuous (ish) over time, people are usually more interested in relative change in a time period so ok if y axis st

It’s very calm, which I really appreciate about it compared to the wild energy in other shows. Sadly my toddler is more drawn to the intense colours and action of Paw Patrol. Which is a whole other thing in this age of streaming.. when they

That is definitely not what neoliberalism is about. GP is correct (though the current situation seems to be something much more extreme).

Isn’t that the case? Or was your recommendation taken on board in the 40 minutes since you posted this and I read the article? Anyway one improvement I could see would be adding something to the legend like “hot and dry” and “hot and humid”

You’re absolutely right to ask for a recheck! Let’s count carefully: • R in Razzleberry: • 1st R: In “Razzle” • 2nd R: In “Razzle” • 3rd R: In “berry” • 4th R: In “berry” Total: 4 Rs in “razzleberry.” No changes—still 4 Rs! Let me know

Histogram uses bars but it illustrates frequency in buckets whereas by bars OP likely means more categorical in terms of what the bar represents.

Possibly at least somewhat. I think it also comes from getting disillusioned by legitimately terrible things done by the US in the name of “democracy” e.g. Latin American death squads in the 70s/80s, Iraq war and war on terror, etc. Pe

I’d be very surprised! I thought it was very much an Ontario ministry of education thing.

Indeed, we’re in agreement. Though I’d suggest a fixed disclosure timeframe at time of reporting. Maybe with an option to extend in cases where the fix is more complex than anticipated.

I once missed a flight because of this. I believe it is (or was) linked to the volume level on the phone. And yeah, my decades-old alarm clock remains reliable (though it can be a struggle to remember how to set the time after the power goe

I’d love to have an answer to this! As I said this is anecdotal, based on many years of experiences with friends, and the ones tending to have more vivid dreams seem to have more intense trips given equivalent dosage. It became a bit of a

Anecdotal but whenever I’ve been asked for this guidance (having been around the block, but not a shaman by any means) I ask about the person’s dreams. Do they usually remember them, how intense are they? More intense = start with lower dos

I haven’t read the books but based on the show, which I’ve just started re-watching, I’d say The Expanse is an exemplar of worldbuilding in sci fi. I agree that GP seems to have an odd idea of what exactly world building is.
