There are some semantic debates going on in this thread about the term "bullshit". But there is a clear definition. The paper Stallman links to uses bullshit in the Frankfurtian sense, that is, talk without care for the truth: &gt

Presumably the LLM also wrote the blog post. At least, it generated a file named OCAML_DWARF_BLOG_POST.md: https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/14369/files#diff-bc37d03...

Is that an innovation of Mahayana or Vajrayana Buddhism? I've only read Theravada texts, and in those, good and bad Karma are clearly differentiated. Attaining a pleasant rebirth is considered a wholesome pursuit that the teachings of

When the col is seven, there are a lot of diagonals going from top right to bottom left. When col is five, from top left to bottom right. Are runs of consecutive sexy primes also this frequent for larger numbers, or does that pattern break

Maybe this is cope, maybe it's my dislike of modern fantasy, a genre that keeps repeating the same narrative elements to get the same reactions out of the reader, but I found the stories kinda bland, and to me they all seemed like some
