Does this law allow for any standards progression or is it USB-c forever?

I wouldn't call it overclocking so much as changing the way you think, and making it easier to separate thought from emotion. Or at least that was an observation I made about what was different. I could think about things that were normally very emotionally charged without those same emotions getting in the way, kinda like being able to skip the stages of grief when thinking about things many people are in denial about without even thinking about it.

I also believe that it reduces the barrier between the conscious and subconscious, allowing more things the subconscious "figured out" to bubble up to conscious thought. "Figured out" in quotes because while the subconscious is powerful, it is not infallible. There might also be a sense of connection between the "a-ha!" feeling of figuring out something profound and random thoughts going through your conscious mind, making normal or dumb shit seem important and groundbreaking in the moment.

End comes after 10 minutes of video with nothing happening. And when something does happen, it's half out of frame and completely underwhelming.

Woks don't have buttons! How the hell do you expect to deep fry things without any buttons!? I've seen into the back of a McDonald's before, their deep fryers have buttons and beep and shit. If a wok ever beeped at me, I wouldn't think "oh, fries are done," I'd think, "am I going insane?"

Unless you're using one as a helmet, in which case it's more of a ding than a beep, but it means it just saved your life and you should tip your blacksmith. You should also probably clean the wok before you use it to sear something and set it aside or bake cookies or anything, though.

Yeah only question for me right now is if it will go to 0 or 2 before going back to 1.

How many world wars were fought in the last century? The answer might surprise you!

They don't think the free market solves everything. They think a weaker government is easier to control and that struggling government workers are easier to buy.

Tangent topic, but how does an anarchist system prevent popular leaders from gaining authority? Also, how does it defend against an aggressive authoritarian neighbour that wants to annex territory?

I like the idea of anarchism in theory, but I just don't see how it could be possible to get there from here where every existing power would see it as an ideological threat to their own power (similar to how capitalist powers reacted to communism), or how it would maintain stability if it was realized.

And as much as I don't like the monopoly on violence system because it seems to encourage corruption on the side with more access to violence, I can't help but think it would eventually devolve into a lot of in-fighting.

Like power constantly rises from nothing more than physical strength, charisma, or good strategic thinking in groups of humans. Some primates other than humans go to war with their neighbouring groups. Egypt became a kingdom when one tribe conquered the rest, and that one wasn't the first to try. Countless empires have risen and fallen, most of the time despite violent resistance of those who would rather be neighbours than subjects. The Vikings sailed around raiding for their own benefit and then later conquered regions like in France, Britain, Sicily, and Kiev. The Mongols did the same except using horses instead of boats. Then European powers did it. Then America started pretty much puppeting anyone who went against corporate interests while a cultural movement in Russia and China started out trying to move power out of the hands of their ruling class only to see even more authoritarian powers take over.

History is full of cases of "I don't care what you want, this is what I want and I'll just kill you if you don't go along with it." How could that change?

There's no formal rule, but adjectives can function as verbs in day to day English.

<Subject>

<adjective>

<object>

<subject>

<object>

<adjective>

Who knows the connection between badgers, mushrooms, and snakes?

Rot is an essential part of our digestive process, assuming rot just means biological processes converting food from one state to a generally less appetizing state.

They are boeinged on the ISS.

A better way to handle that would be for "taking screenshots when other apps have focus" to be a special permission that needs to be explicitly granted. Could even make it app specific (ie, "I allow app x to take screenshots or record the display/audio of apps y and z").

Just like arbitrary apps shouldn't have access to look at the clipboard or full file system whenever they want.

This wouldn't be necessary if everyone used the proper peer review process before publishing their jokes!!

Their age has given them more time to accumulate power and influence.

Yeah, I've delivered pizza in a city of over 100k people. The whole idea of an address is to figure out where the destination is down to the personal residence. Doesn't matter if the people are spread out in a single building or many buildings.

I didn't go knocking on every door any time someone ordered pizza to an apartment. Biggest concern about apartments were if they had a buzzer, if that buzzer worked, and if the code matched the unit number or would be easy to figure out based on the information provided. And if it wasn't, their phone number was part of the information provided.

If they did that themselves, then they would know when a user was trying to access their porn from Florida, defeating the benefit a vpn would provide.

Feels like they are the same thing.

Speaking of which, an obsession with dicks or second hand dicks totally sets off my gaydar. Not that there's anything wrong with being gay, but this post feels a bit like overcompensating, so maybe it's something to think about.

Like does it really bug you that a hand probably touched a dick or does it bug you that the thought causes a more complex reaction than that?

Either that or you don't really care about it that much but are saying it to trigger others who might care, which I can respect.

I think a part of it is the scale of the data used to train it means there wasn't likely much curation of that data. So it might complete the text using a wikipedia article, a knowledge forum post, a forum post that derailed the original topic, a forum post written by someone confidently wrong, a troll post, or two people arguing about the answer. In that last case, you might be able to get it to hash out the entire argument by asking if it's sure about that after each response.

Which is also probably how it can correctly respond to "are you sure?" follow ups in the first place, because it was going off some forum post that someone questioned and then there was a follow-up.

It's more complicated than that because it's likely not just rehashing any one single conversation in any response, but all of those were a part of its training, and its training is all it knows.
