Since we aren't bound to an instinctive way of doing it, we are capable of discovering more effective ways of doing it. The front crawl had to be invented

language model programs have no conscious intent or ethical understanding and they never will. you can program them to say they do, but they fundamentally cannot

For peace of mind, I'm assuming it's a marketing bit. That guy totally knows his address; he just wants to sell the idea of handing over basic cognitive functions to a computer

If it just said “old English” (lowercase and no e), that would be fine as an informal way of saying “English from Shakespeare’s time”. But “Olde English” tells you someone is confused.

I'll be live-posting through part of today's General Debate at the United Nations General Assembly--at least through the first few speeches (UN Secretary General, Brazil, US, etc)

But that's what I mean. Even though the 21st it explicitly repealed it, the 18th is still included in the text, at least in sources like the one linked

Is there actually a way to strike text from the US constitution? It seems like all the amendments have just added text

That's also because "person" and "people" are arguably (or traditionally) separate words rather than a plural-singular pair. Hence you can have both persons and peoples

That's the second law of thermodynamics. Heat flows freely from hotter places to colder places, but getting in to flow out of somewhere so it gets colder than its surroundings requires some trickery

It really feels like Hamlet putting together words to express his thoughts as they come to him, not knowing what he's about to say next.

While looking for something else in the Imperial War Museum's online collections I found this 1943 painting by (Lt-Cdr) James Yunge-Bateman: 'The Outside Viewing-tank : Directorate of Camouflage, Naval Section'. Somewhat off-topic for me, but too appealing not to post. IWM (Art.IWM ART LD 2759).

James Yunge-Bateman, 'The Outside Viewing-tank : Directorate of Camouflage, Naval Section' (1943). Imperial War Museum (Art.IWM ART LD 2759). Image: a young bespectacled woman leans into the composition from the left with her hands submerged in a water tank. The viewing-tank appears to be on the roof of a building as there is a blue sky with clouds and the green dome of a building in the background. A camouflaged model of an aircraft carrier floats on the water and a pair of binoculars sit on the edge of the tank, in the right foreground. (ALT text description from the IWM.)

The rule for perception of food items is simple: If its name is a combination of normal words in my language, it must have been invented by some guy two or three years before I first heard of it. If it has a foreign-sounding name, it must be the authentic heritage of an ancient, rustic tradition.

What a great way to put it. And as was just dramatically demonstrated, every game ends on a play. There's no running down the clock. Someone's gotta do something, and there's always a chance something unexpected will happen
