Russia has committed countless war crimes in Ukraine, including genocide. Destroying civilian infrastructure is also a war crime. I recently spent an extended period of time in Kyiv. The destroyed bridges are essential for workers and students. Shame on the barbaric Russian empire!

I'm a non-theist. However, if you abstract away the religious references, I think this is a wise song. Learning to "let it be" was hard for me. I always thought I could solve everything, but the universe doesn't work that way, and it is often best to not try at all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGj8...

Sometimes the greatest revenge in response to a person with grudges is to not seek revenge at all. The person that stabs in you in the back expects you to stab back. By not stabbing back, you demonstrate your superiority.

If you're already a programmer, learning to program in Forth is probably harder than if you've never programmed before. It's difficult to think in reverse polish notation. However, I think Japanese speakers would find it easier because "the verb" follows the nouns.

Little is more irritating than a man with a very low IQ telling the world how to name something. The word "superintelligence" already has a meaning. A superintelligence exceeds human intelligence in every way possible, most of all in its capacity to REASON. Large language models DO NOT REASON.
