I've also experienced the same, except it produced the same stupid code all over again. I usually use one model (doesn't matter which) until it starts chasing it's tail, then I feed it to a different model to have it fix the

Ukraine was guaranteed protection of its then current borders by the US, Russia, and the EU nations if it agreed to give up it's nuclear weapons. A quick google gave me this as a top result: https://www.npr.org/2022&#x2

I think the hunters safety courses should be a requirement for everyone, even those that aren’t buying a firearm — and should probably come around the age of 14/15 unless you’re going to be hunting earlier.

I looked up something quickly, to see if it was still true. In the UK, where you're not allowed to use firearms to defend yourself, home invasions where someone is home is 64%. In the US, where it is permissible, home invasions where s

I haven't seen this video, but would like to -- It sounds right to me, which instantly makes me question it, but it does fit the information coming out of Ukraine re: Russian military and local population. This is exactly the scenario

Gun registration wouldn’t have done anything to stop this shooting. A legal adult with no criminal record purchased the guns in advance of his rampage. A waiting period wouldn’t have worked, and his registration would have gone through beca

That’s what high explosives are made for. To use a real world example: Columbine was a failed school bombing because their detonators didn’t work because the product they used for the detonator’s changed between their testing and when the

I know you’re being facetious, but It’s fun to point out that you can purchase an Apache if you can find a government to tell you one. The missiles are separately regulated, and likely not legal for private ownership. Missiles and high e

I would also like to see my children grown up. I’m aware that insane/evil people will do awful things, but that you don’t suppress the rights of everyone to stop one or two bad apples. In my local community groups I see people demandin

I think we'd need to be honest about it and compare individual European countries to individual US states. New York and California are NOT like Alabama, Texas and Florida. California, Illinois and New York have different populations an

I don't want gun violence, but I 100% want the 1986 National Firearm Act repealed. I believe fully automatic assault weapons and machine guns should be available for purchase, new, just like any other weapon. (Fully automatic weapons a

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. The conservatives I know believe everyone should know how to handle a firearm safely, and believe people have a right to defend themselves from criminals, as well as the government. I

You can have multiple echo chambers. Just because they’re different doesn’t mean they’re not all echoing garbage from their biased view points. Fox News is the echo chamber of the right, while everything else is either extremely left or mos

Something I’ve wondered: Since website access is a pull (client initiated) action, can you straight up decline a visitor if you aren’t allowed to track and capitalize on them? I have run ad supported services in the past, and I could easi

Yes, it is possible to have it both ways. Your reliance on something isn't material when trying to get support from someone you're not paying. Full stop. Maybe it's important to you and maybe people you support -- but tha

I just had a discussion with a friend about this last week. Some people (we call it addictive personalities, not sure if there’s a better term) seem to get hooked almost right away. Others, can stop whenever they want with little trouble. T

That's also been my experience. Teams is absolutely awful. It looks like it's a sharepoint messaging client (you can store files in it, make group pages), which is.. insane. I dread seeing a Teams meeting put together, because alm

It’s getting there. From 1995-2000 (maybe -2002, -2003), it was absolutely relevant, even prevent in the industry. After that point, it felt like Java/PHP/Asp took the lead.

I can't find the article, which I read years ago. Some quick googling did turn this up: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/do-the-right-thing/2... Which discusses the fact that the abuse isn't

Exactly! Me spending more time with my child doesn't take away from what other children receive. If I wasn't working with my child, then I certainly wouldn't be working with all of them in place of that.

The US government is toxic, and it is openly promoting racist policies and ideologies that are outright offensive. No, it can't be trusted with my kids future and education. It's necessary that it exists, and it can handle the bas

I’ve heard that insurance for Catholic Churches aren’t any higher than insurance for a different denomination —- the abuse is at the same level as other churches, it’s just that the Catholic Church is so much larger than any of the others.

The search engines weren't great -- I think I had the best luck with Altavista. It's almost impossible to convey how different the 'web was back then. Searching mailing list or usenet archives was the only way to track down

I'm not convinced that security is actually that much higher. I agree with your examples, but the complexity of most environments now is such that you almost have to know what you're doing in order to attempt to stay secure. How o

Only if your code is poorly written. Even on basic hardware, hundreds of requests per second are trivial -- assuming you aren't loading a bunch of files ("require") or making 800 trips to the database to load the site. I&#x27

It was AtEase. In the earlier macs, those with a button to trigger a debugger in firmware, you could completely exit AtEase by entering the debugger and typing “G H” I know it worked on System 7, and I think there was a variation that worke

You do realize that deducting the cost of producing a product is entirely normal and expected behavior right? It’s not some special loophole. If you use $1000 of electricity to harvest your crops, that $1000 would be equally as deductible b

There are multiple species of bees. I’m specifically referring to honey bees. I’ve not studied the other varieties. I’m not aware of any studies, and most would have taken place well before the internet and electronic records were a thing.

I don’t think there’s a big difference between “wild” bees and the “domesticated” or farmed bees that you seem to believe exists. I’m in Ohio, and I’ve only been keeping bees for 3-4 years now, but I’ve attended lectures and talked to many
