The Russian equivalent of “you can’t fire me—I quit!”
Sure, it looks like foul play—but it’s also a perfectly natural reaction to driving a Tesla.
The only time orcas see humans is when we’re flailing practically helplessly in the water—they’re probably trying to save us from extinction.
Fish.
My apartment building turns 100 this year.
There are three factors that might prevent you from using an online platform to share your opinion:
The government might impose content restrictions on the platform
The owners (or delegated moderators) of the platform might impose restrictions on its users
The users of the platform might use its tools to police the opinions of other users.
“Freedom of speech” normally just applies to the first. Is that what you mean when you say you’re not “allowed” to speak freely?
You could restrict it to cases where the victim and defendant belong to significantly different demographics, then.
You could expand that to a general principle for all criminal cases: select one judge that matches the demographics of the defendant as closely as possible, one that matches the victim, and one that differs to an equal degree from both.
He was originally jailed for life but at an appeal doctors told the court the rapes arose of sexual frustration arising out of his marriage to an “ambitious and demanding” wife. The sentence was reduced and he spent only about two years in jail.
Why are rapists seemingly the only category of offender judges always manage to find sympathy for?
If life is an experiment, and there is a measuring tool
So that’s what keeps causing our wave function to collapse!
Our Father, which art…

I grew up in California near the bay area calling them weed whackers.

Weren’t there jokes at the time about them inadvertently building a submarine?
I assume it’s because it reduces the possibility of other processes outside of the linked containers accessing the files (so security and stability).

“Better at news than the news” is a trivially low bar.
How generative natural language works has been highly debated for over 60 years—there’s certainly no consensus most linguists would agree with. And while we have a pretty good idea how the process of facial recognition works, we know that process isn’t conducive to extracting a conventional explanation of how to recognize a particular face. (The best you could do is to make a list of features that would allow someone to eliminate all but one candidate from a small group, but that’s distinct from the process of actually recognizing someone.)
Can you explain how you recognize someone’s face? Can you explain how you balance your body and move your feet correctly as you walk? Can you explain how you speak in grammatically correct sentences without consciously thinking about the rules of grammar?
The vast majority of our experiences are fundamentally inexplicable—basically, everything that isn’t part of our internal narrative.
So the upshot’s that Grok bot’s a crackpot?
If someone else posts a better comment that renders mine superfluous, I’ll often delete mine. But if someone else has already replied to mine, I’ll leave it for the sake of context but downvote it so the better one gets more visibility.
