I think it must be at least a decade since I’ve written an actual complete sentence by hand, a paragraph certainly must have been even farther back. Maybe I should pick up a pen.

The problem is the consumer. Consumers are ultimately enablers for this behavior. They just keep buying shit, no matter how expensive it gets. And there’s often cheaper alternatives, but no, the consumer keeps buying grossly inflated things

It’s best not to hire an employee who is excited about anything. These people are running high on emotions and will almost certainly be a troublemaker later. Better to hire a professional who is ready to work and is cautious about rocking t

I didn’t always kill people, sometimes they begged for mercy and I made them hand over some loot and then took off. But sometimes we killed people and cut up their bodies into pieces and fed them to pigs.

No, the best time period was before this, when there was only one unified open-pvp world and people could kill you and even burglarize your house if they stole the key and knew where you lived, or even just killed you right at your front do

The owner can pay them. It’s not my problem. If they don’t set the cleaning fee accordingly that’s their fault. $150 cleaning should be enough.

I just don’t understand, if they’re going to clean the apartment anyway, why should I clean anything at all? It seems like a petty power move type thing, like a way to ensure guests don’t go too crazy or something because you make them feel

If I’m paying a cleaning fee why can’t I just pay that extra 10% and do nothing? Where’s that option? You know what, the next time I stay at an Airbnb, I’m going to just say I didn’t clean anything but I left an extra $20 on the counter to

You don’t really need an engine. You just need the right data structure to represent a cell and simple methods. What you may be asking about is visualization . In this case, just use simple drawning functions in a graphics library that wil

This is what makes the lie more potent. It’s based on a kernel of truth, and because it reinforces beliefs, you can easily believe a Paytm employee acted negligently, with no more evidence than an anecdote.

Young kids today do not have any kind of thoughts about the workings of apps they use any more than they have thoughts about how their favorite shows or movies are made, or how their house was built, or how a car works.

No, I’m not okay with it. I want them to do their job. Chase down every last mugger. Arrest every illegal tent squatter that has popped up. Arrest drug addicts and indecent exposers and shoplifters. SF police should be working around the

Unfortunately the US consumer simply cannot afford to pay more for products no produced in non-democratic nations with impossibly cheap labor. They are already being pushed to the brink.

Dang, Although no moderator is ever perfect, your approach to moderation has been the best I’ve seen yet, and I only wish other moderators could emulate your style. Best.

Yes, if you get beat the fuck up, but are otherwise alive and uninjured, what’s the point of reporting the crime? Police aren’t going to find whoever did this to you. You will just write down some information on a police report and they’ll

The idea is someone would first make a prompt for GPT4 that outputs GPT5 enabled prompts. You would initialize GPT4 with it, and then speak to GPT4 to compile prompts to GPT5 context which then gets fed to GPT5. Although you may know about

What you could do is just continue speaking to GPT4 and have it output prompts compatible with GPT5. Pretty simple.

You’re right, it is just English language. And over time, people will discover some basic phrases and keywords they can use to get certain results from the AI, and find out what sentence structures work best for getting a desired outcome. T

I’d wager things are likely to not get much better than these examples for several years, maybe a decade.
