What happened with that change to signage laws that was going to require tens of millions of dollars to update eg “Canadian Tire” to “Magasin Canadian Tire” and whatnot?
How does The Wind Rises fit into this?
Plot spoilers
I’ve always been a bit puzzled at that one, given that the protagonist spends most of the storyline designing and building warplanes. He’s apparently motivated purely by the love of flight, but consequences are never directly addressed, except for maybe at the end when he comments on how they all got destroyed. Is he wilfully oblivious? Is he on board with Japanese aggression? Is this a comment on the “just doing my job” people involved in any war effort?

I’m sorry, who with the what now?
71·20 days agoFor those experiencing the same confusion as myself: those are not sources for the orphan/survivor benefits story, they’re possible reasons why the media might not be reporting the story.

I’m going to search for the beached Lookfar. If memory serves, it was abandoned on Selidor, just past the Dragons’ Run
The Black Mirror episode “Fifteen Million Merits” makes this point in a (typically) very chilling way.
8·1 month agoIt’s actually kind of worrisome that they have to guess it was his code based on the function/method name. Do these people not use version control? I guess not, they sure as hell don’t do code reviews if this guy managed to get this code into production
3·1 month agoMy first thought! Although apparently it was designed to end in PvP. One of the best seasons in my book, definitely the top sidequest season.
Honestly puzzled, why is the grocery store so awful? Inflation, or is it a social anxiety thing?
Yeah I see what you mean. There’s a decent argument to be made that something like reasoning appears as an emergent property in this kind of system, I’ll admit. Still, the fact that fundamentally the code works as a prediction engine rules out any sort of real cognition, even if it makes an impressive simulacrum. There’s just no ability to invent, no true novelty, which – to my mind at least – is the hallmark of actual reasoning.

It’s still an LLM right? I’m going to have to take issue with your use of the word ‘reasoning’ here
To paraphrase Gordon Ramsay, “a skilled vet could still save it”
Odd. Canada here as well, loads up a bit slow but gets there after maybe 10 seconds. No login required.
10·2 months agoThere’s an expression in French, “enculage de mouches”. Literally means “fucking flies in the ass” and, figuratively, refers to being impossibly pedantic and nitpicky. Closest equivalent in English would be “splitting hairs” I think
That’s an odd way of spelling “taint tanning”
