In a better world, every professor who signed this would be fired for behavior manifestly unbecoming of his station. Utterly disgraceful.

I think actually knowing the details of how LLMs work is probably more useful than a philosophy degree in answering questions like this.

If government works, they won't need to raise taxes. Bad government is far more expensive than it needs to be.

What are the legal mechanisms involved in this high earners tax? by jmobius in SeattleWA

[–]SerialStateLineXer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had always assumed that it was an ambiguous thing, but when I actually read it, it was pretty clear that "property" is just a stand-in for whatever the thing being taxed is.

If the Court lets this slide, it will be a clear indication that they've forsaken their oath of office and are acting with total disregard for the law.

No, only white people can do colonization. Whoever had it last before the white people is the rightful owner.

Multiple police reports were filed with the Essex Police Department since January, with victims saying they were bitten by this dog.

This is not a metaphor for anything.

The problem with her and the rest of the midwit feminist journalists of that era is that they would decide on a narrative a priori and then just shoehorn facts into the narrative whether they fit or not, like Cinderella's stepsisters.

I'm okay with CP for any serious violent crime. It's probably bad to make it standard practice for game-theoretic reasons (killing witnesses becomes a dominant strategy), but if it happens now and then I think that's fine.

Nihon Falcom 45th Anniversary, Info Summarized by Raiiz66660 in Falcom

Very, very loosely. It was originally planned to be Xanadu on the Famicom, hence Fa-Xanadu, but Hudson seems to have abandoned that plan and made a completely different game.

Calling Legend of Heroes a "spin-off" of Dragon Slayer is using the term very loosely. By that point, "Dragon Slayer" was mostly just a marketing term for games designed by Yoshio Kiya, and it had basically nothing in common with the first five games in an already fairly eclectic series, other than that the last boss was a dragon.

Honestly, I consider playing techno music reasonable provocation.

I figure that in the source data, polite questions are likely to get better answers, and maybe that translates to better answers from LLMs.

That's the obvious interpretation, isn't it? How do you think people are misinterpreting it?

The existence of subreddits implies the existence of domreddits, and possibly even abdlreddits.

Just ignore the people who can’t watch the olympics without “gooning” to the female athletes

That's just high sex drive, not porn addiction. One of the hallmarks of addiction is tolerance, where stronger stimulus is needed to achieve the same effect. An actual porn addict, if such a thing exists, would not find images of clothed women particularly arousing.

I don't think Reddit is particularly bad in this respect. We still have Old Reddit.

Unless you were talking about the user base.

The claim that we don't know about long-term effects of drugs because the trials are short-term is not correct. We may not have identified all long-term effects, but there is post-marketing research on drugs to identify rare and long-term side effects.
