East Asian dictatorships and land grabs, name a more iconic duo.

Love you too.

I mean, it was built to help put JavaScript where it doesn’t belong, so expectations of elegance and cleanness should be limited.

The day specifically, or anything about what you’re doing and what’s happening to you? Venting and talking about yourself are near-universal psychological needs, from what I can tell.

Not having to worry about them could actually be really handy, I guess, if that’s you.

especially since i can’t yet differentiate what people are saying and the way things are spelled in french.

French orthography isn’t great, but if the whole nation of Canada learns it passively, you can figure it out too. Go for the more major one.

Lately? That subculture where they believe everyone but the West are the good guys and working together has always been here. The devs are involved.

Get up at the same time every day, even when I don’t have to. Having a nice solid circadian rhythm makes me feel much better in several ways.

Whoops! What’s the chance someone gets fired over this?

They risk it so much they really shouldn’t have expected anything else, but military hardware is expensive.

Who didn’t even necessarily believe in a conventional god, just some kind of hands-off universe creator?

This map but blank.

A deviantart post from 2014 says Blue whales are as dense as water (approximately).

That they don’t sink uncontrollably should also be a hint. Most critters are around there, including us, because they’re primarily made out of water, and then the empty bits offset the bony bits.

I’ll refrain from correcting anything else, to not be a dick.

UK too, impressive.

I got on both the Bitcoin and LLM trains really early. I was actually a bit premature in the collapse of the old US, although I’d like to be awarded points for even tracking it back when people thought normal would last forever.

There’s also a vast, vast number of things I know I can’t predict, though. Like what will happen in the very short term where I could actually speculate on things financially.

I have a few lists of predictions I’ve posted on here, we’ll see what they look like in a couple decades.

So, that rounds up to 17, for an actual answer. Although he’s already a ways into his term, and it seems unlikely the madness stops there.

They’re smart, but LLMs can’t be trained to care about what they’re saying very much. They just try to produce human-like text. There’s all sorts of other reasons they shouldn’t be put in charge of weapons, though.

More like a collection of descriptions in the training data. It’s not a copy and paste thing, they successfully generalise and extend concepts together quite often.

Ooh ooh ooh?

Don’t buy copper from this guy, it’s low-quality and your messenger will be treated with contempt.

Fun fact, the Romans would never have labeled their abacuses like this. It would have made calculating very difficult; they effectively worked with modern numbers in bead form, and then used the famous numeral system just to record the results.

Sure. And now the question is if halving the travel time is worth whatever it costs to double the speed.

In some cases, it is. There’s a grand total of one ocean liner left in the Western world, for example, despite the energy efficiency. If we include communications, doubling speed has been profitable tens of times.

The Concord had problems with energy use getting ridiculously higher right after the sound barrier, which made it not worthwhile, and which is why 21st century passenger jets fly just below the speed of sound. That’s a straight example, but I guess I just take issue with it being represented as mathematically inevitable and not situation-dependent.
