A response in milliseconds is effectively instantaneous. Also there is no coal in Scotland since 2016. And if you want physical spinning machines, there is hydro which is obviously big in Scotland because there's plenty rain.

Most first world countries don't have this. It's not a given.

No, there are examples of people saying things that break a law getting arrested. There seems to be this bizarre belief that it's fine to engage in incitement to violence, harassment or stalking, as long as it's done on social med

You would think examples like this would demonstrate to you that your thinking was wrong, but instead you just double down on it.

I wonder if Wordsworth would have been quite as keen on his works being treated as property if he'd known they would be owned by an American corporation by now and his own descendants would have to licence them for any use?

Yup, I know how git keeps the whole thing but if the audio file is stored as chunk, with perhaps layers applied, that could be storing just the changes as say mblobs, rather than blobs. The reason for asking about diffs is that it makes it

This becomes a bit of a horrible arms race as you now ask AI to edit your paper to make it sound better to the grant sieving AI...

Are there any music formats that allow, conceptually, for easy diffs? If there are, it's not beyond reason to add something to git to make it work better. If changing a single bit at the start of file changes the whole thing then it&#x

Sudan is a terrible example for your argument as it's practically a textbook example of Western colonialism, maintained by divide and conquer, and leaving a horrific mess when they wash their hands of the place.

You can do that with sysdig.

That is discriminating by ability not height. It happens to be easier for taller people to have that ability but that's secondary.

Move there and see how it works out.

The NBA doesn't discriminate by height. They have chosen players that are 5'3" over players who are 6'6". You're welcome for me educating you.

You can edit the list of autocorrect to remove any you don't want (or add new ones). Also you can ctrl-z immediately after an autocorrect to undo it.

What papers? Give me something solid to go on here. What is the practical difference? If it's so obvious it should be straightforward to point it out! Edit: let me put it more bluntly. If God had created the universe 6000 years ago and

Ok, so they're both the same?

by olddustytrail 1y ago
Of course it does. When you apply zero thought to anything you can always find false equivalence.

by olddustytrail 1y ago
Of course you do. As long as someone else pays for cleaning up after you. There have always been leeches in the world.

I don't really have anything to add to AnimalMuppet's response. Why are they not equivalent? Because the simulation argument is more "carefully constructed"? Is that it? Because I'm not convinced it is. Creationists

I'm not sure they're quite the same. If noone else has coined a term for it I'll go with the "cancer cure fallacy" but maybe someone has a better name. Open to suggestions!

by olddustytrail 1y ago
I don't believe in either of them, I'm just saying they're equivalent. You didn't even make a decent argument why they differ so don't pretend you're particularly informed.

Magic is just another name for altering a simulation.
