• Great I just ordered 6 boxes of Chilean rose
• You mean Chilean rosé, right? … please tell me you mean Chilean rosé

And then you get frustrated that wikipedia article is so shallow and go looking for original academic articles

They were also banned in the 1920s. It just took a war with several million dead to discredit them. And now 80 years later they’re back, despite still being banned.

Reminder of a lesson repeating again and again throughout history: banning twitter will make them more powerful.
Legislating against it legitimizes it and gives it a boost - “why would they ban it if they weren’t dangerous for speaking the truth?”

nobody would ever need therapy again

Chat GPT is wonderful as a search engine for SO. It regurgitates the answers in a format easier to incorporate into your own project.

The thing I’m worried about is a lack of new answers. You need data to train an LLM, what to do if nobody is producing it?

One of the ways would have been Letters to the editor, which were basically blog posts written by individuals who are not journalists, published in a newspaper. Of course the editor had to approve of what you had to say so it wasn’t a perfectly free medium.
These existed well into the 20th century even into 1990s.

Going back in past there was the option of nailing pamphlets to churches, however this was highly dependent on having friends with a printing press which was the cutting edge technology for the time.

Are you suggesting crows are not proud of it?

Not surprising. I’m 36 and it feels strange when someone talks about “radio”, “over the air”, “cable tv” and similar old technologies. It’s only been like 10 years since those still existed but it already feels like ancient past.

Can’t speak about everywhere in the world, but broadcast media is pretty much dead. Radio still exists because of cars, but even that is moving towards streaming.

US in the 1970/80s were very deluded by thinking that “whoever we support == good guys”, no matter what they do. Huge foreign policy fail, and the reason they lost many potential allies.
And the reason Henry Kissinger had a website celebrating his death.

Men have already long been abused by the patriarchy alongside with women. In the last couple of years the so-called “liberals” claiming to fight against the patriarchy have joined in the abuse by denying men any escape from that situation

Time for Europe to get our shit together in regards with the military. I can’t stand the though of pulling back or surrendering territory to Russia.
Will it be hard - yes. But our quite recent ancestors went through worse in WWI and WWII and they didn’t give up because it was inconvenient. Unfortunately (or fortunately, given the history) the only way to get Europeans into killing mode is a total war.

Was this written by the mentioned multi-layer perceptron?

Nah, Israel is a loser too even if Netanyahu and his supporters don’t understand it. Israel has more enemies than ever.

Also fuck greedy investor urbanism. Valencia spent an enormous amount of time and money to redirect a river prone to flooding outside of the city. And then promptly urbanized the risky flood plain with housing and commerce.

English is long overdue for a spelling reform, but just taking all fancy looking characters from other germanic languages is not the way

Makes sense from manufacturing and business perspective to refresh your offer every year. It doesn’t have to be a huge improvement, but technology slowly advances, there might be a better or cheaper manufacture for some components, etc.

On the other hand there no reason for any individual to be buying a new phone so often. Software support must be a thing - there’s no reason for a phone to become obsolete after 2 years because of the software. It’s a computer, you can update the OS almost indefinitely.

The only thing changed between photos is clothing and pose. Is that gender? Well maybe it is, but it’s useless for classification.

It’s good to have competition. Dropbox has to rethink their plan if they want to keep existing

Taking history into account I get some sympathy for the current mess that is Egypt. They’ve been ruled by foreign powers (with a couple of short interruptions) 525BC-1952CE. More than 2000 years. No wonder establishing a functional country is hard.

Edit - misunderstood the meme thinking it’s about all of North Africa including Egypt. Still it applies
