Admittedly I'm not an expert on 19th century Victorianism nor US politics, but this anecdote doesn't make me think any less of LLM's in the least, and I don't see why I should expect different behaviour than what you des

Of course other than the double-decker at Bow Valley College, referred to as plus-30. (edit to add: and plus 45 in Bankers Hall)

I've never heard anyone say the early church wrestled with polytheism. Maybe that's my bias nestled in Christian circles of not using that word, in favour of something more like "the nature of the triune Godhead", etc.

Architecture strikes me as some of the worst examples of pretentious academia wed to pretentious art snobbery.

So, of course corporations will not be benevolent, but of course individuals should have been. But corporations, even governments, are just the amplification and personification of every selfish element in human nature, which tends to trump

And if you wiped them out, then wouldn't a functionally identical class take their place? There's no us vs. them, them is us.

This points to such a great communication principle, including one that HN/dang promotes -- if the point remains the same, then take out anything else, especially when it's personal or potentially inflammatory. Now, instead of a f

I guess it depends who you ask, paleontologists might say living in cities is a "current trend."

I have a friend who tutors and teaches music privately, and he runs his sessions very much like this.

I posted something in the online classifieds this way. In demand but manufacturer was sold out for months. I didn't know how to price it, and I wanted to get a fair price as well as being fair to buyers. Well, kijiji buyers were not in

Agree with those downsides but the benefit is still in saving time on commuting, which for me is the biggest benefit.

Interesting to mention Madhur Jeffrey, who I had indeed felt betrayed by in her descriptions of browning onions by time, which never seemed to match my experience. Her book World Vegetarian otherwise taught me to cook 20 years ago. Or maybe

I've been thinking about this comment for a few days now, just wanted to say thank you.

I have thought it was interesting that, Christians believe, God became human and of all the things in the universe he could choose to teach about, apparently more than anything it is all about love (of a particular kind, actually).

Well, here instead of asking you a clarifying question about your response, I might instead ask ChatGPT. Something would be lost, in my mind. Just musing out loud.

I've learned almost everything I know through reading and listening, with very little discourse. I rarely asked questions in class, never had tutors, never went to office hours. I hesitate to post questions online. If I don't unde

I hide the boom pretty well out of sight but it nags at me. I looked into shotgun mics but there seemed to be a lot of advice to avoid using indoors because of comb filtering. Have you noticed that?

I wonder if this is the source of a Jack Handey joke: "If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason."

I've never used a bripe, but I assume it's firmly a novelty contraption and doesn't offer any competition in terms of making good coffee. Anyone with personal experience can confirm/deny?

Never heard of this! Fascinating. I guess it was the Iraqi vice president's suggestion. https://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/meast/10/03/iraq.bush.duel/

This comes from 12 Steps/AA literature. If something external causes me to feel some way, it may be more about me than about the externality itself. I'll try an example. If a random stranger comes up and insults me, I might start

I think the witty observation about regular expressions holds true very generally. "I have a problem with p_1 -- I know, I'll use p_2! Now I have two problems." Where here, I would agree there is a problem around biases, syst

I think the only reason the "parenting book" industry can exist is because there isn't a single right way to do it. And people who are looking for some semblance of certainty can find a book to back up any preexisting intuiti

The parent comment gave a number of specific examples why remote work benefits various people. Those points still stand regardless of the "diversity" label.
