But what is it in reference to? What's the "infamous if loop"?

I know right, while reading it I kept thinking "I can totally see how people might start to believe these models are sentient", it was fascinating, the way it was "thinking"

Largest to smallest is at best ambiguous. It can refer to the size of the number itself, or the size of the unit.

There is a reason this exact concept in maths/computer science is known as the "significance" of the digit. Eg. The "least significant bit" in binary is the last one.

By keeping years in different folders you are just implicitly creating the ISO format: eg. 2025/"04/28.xls"

Largest to smallest is also wrong. In 2025/01/28, the 28 is larger than the 01.

It should be "most significant" to "least significant"

Because "context -> precision" is exactly the reason someone earlier gave as reasoning for the American system?

I've suddenly had a revelation as to why Elon is obsessed with the letter "X"...

One could argue that since we are but merely very complicated, slow burning chemical reactions, that the very concept of "pretend" is pretend.

If you have the wealth to afford a housemaid, then any way of spreading that wealth to others in a non-manipulative way is good.

Some say it skips a generation. Your kinks are a combination of your grandmother's kinks.

I don't think anyone is deluded into thinking biden/Kamala would be doing anything different, but the fact that trump would be doing it also seemed obvious. So between two people with the same stance on genocide, they at least tried to choose the one with a better stance on trans people in the US.

What i think is a shame is that the concept behind Bitcoin (a decentralized currency) is actually really cool. But as always capitalism happened and basically turned it into a speculative stock market, ruining it.

So it's at worst an "off-topic discussion"

What argument? They stated an interesting fact (citation needed) relevant to an earlier post. This is what is known as "discussion".

Out of curiosity, what is the climate/temperature like there, in the big cities? I imagine it being very warm

Americans who want to leave are clearly able to identify the problems in the US, and are therefore probably not the ones causing the problems over there.

And in general we should welcome people who want to change their life conditions. Freedom of movement is important.

If you have some good PowerShell examples, feel free to contribute them, I'm sure they'd be welcome

One special pill the morning after (or immediately if available) is a simpler counter.

In my opinion, different kinds of travel inspire different things. Back in the day, travel necessarily meant mixing a lot with the people and culture you were visiting. Nowadays it's much easier to travel in a "bubble" with much more limited contact to locals and culture, besides those trying to take advantage of the tourists

I'm sorry, is it discouraged to be self aware? It is very common to have preconceived ideas about things based on media/whatever, however I am trying to be self aware enough to realise that this view isn't based on very much research, which is why I'm trying to re-evaluate it.

Surely it is far more arrogant to assume I have no ill-informed views, and that I have never been affected by misinformation.
