Far worse from my perspective is that it's not a fixed citation that it's not falsifiable. It's just a mutable, generalized source, which is stochastic in nature. It may as well say "(Socrates, probably)"

Just an aside on the design rather than the content: I was wondering for a while about the greenish and yellow bars on the margins of the page, but I'm pretty sure that those are padding to make the document work well on both US letter

It does in the sense that ineffable things are unable to be described in language (conceptually: unknown to language).

I think normally it's just that someone has the thought and shares it for discussion. Not every comment is performative.

Genuine question - are you copying the Claude phraseology for effect (in which case you captured it brilliantly), or is there a more mundane explanation?

Exciting! I needed this last week, and now here it is. Thanks. I share the annoyance about phone detection previees over-promising. But I'm pleased this comes with perspective correction and lighting correction together.

Is this correct? I was fairly certain that the correlation between random data points approached 0. Is it also plausible that the relationship between true and percieved is wholly independent (as this presumes)?

Hi, I've been working on handwritten blogging too! It would be great to compare notes. I might also drop you a line on another platform.

I think normally when people say Chinese made in this way, what they're really communicating is that there's no (meaningful) brand. All they know about it is that it is from China.

Having subscribeed for years, I find it very good on that front. I haven't detected any political bias, and I suspect they would say that fairness and honesty is what the "journalism" half of "slow journalism" means

He's responding _positively_ to the design and querying if this is accessible to everyone.

Love it. This reminds me of wttr.in, but with the benefit of interactivity and that it works much better on mobile. I also happen to often use terminals in a narrower aspect, so wttr.in doesn't work perfectly for me. It'd be very
