Christianity, Islam and Judaism are most people between then, as you agree. They explicitly all worship the same God so not "incompatible gods". I did not claim there were no disagreements about the nature of God, but that it only

That is tiny. I just checked Uk legislation and it seems to require £1.2m cover for damage to property and unlimited cover for personal injury and deaths.

Do the vast majority never drive a long distance? If you use a car purely for short journeys maybe. Is this common in the US? Everywhere I have lived most people do atleast some long (i.e. an ICE car needs refuelling at some point) some lon

My point is that it has worked for nuclear weapons because there are deterrents to using them. The acknowledged nuclear powers have all pledged to only use them in self defence. No one is going to develop AI and not use it.

EVs that are 10 years old now will have a lower range than current models, AFAIK, so 80% of that might still be limiting. They will also be slower charging.

I assume the US will also ban the use for foreign models as part of this. Pausing development means the people with the currently most advanced models are shielded from competition, especially if foreign competition is not allowed. A new ag

I just remembered and checked. Noscript does allow blocking webgl on a per site basis.

I have noticed that when asking LLMs to work with existing code, their output reflects the existing codebase: the better the existing code, the better the LLM code.

It really ought to be something you can enable or disable per site. I was surprised to find its not.

its not a signficant difference though. 22% vs 23% for total reporting isolation.

Some people think it matters, mostly politicians and political activists. That does not mean its actually important.

People change. A change may or may not be the result of mental illness. I know many people who have changed greatly for the better because of life experiences or their own choices, and many people who have changed for the worse. We all do i

Why does the size of a county's territory matter so much? Russia is much bigger than the US or China, is it more important? Australia has about three quarters of the land area of the US, is it as significant?

I think the problem is that some people do genuinely have a great childhood, or another phase of life (university is another one), while others have a terrible childhood or another phase of life, and people who have one fail to understand t

That is a circular effect. Its true because people assume it and behave accordingly. A self-fulfilling prophecy.

No, I want evidence that this means they have a "biological instinct" to regard the mother as the primary parent. One is a instinctive physical behaviour, the other is emotional, but you are claiming that the first proves the seco
