Futility is resistant

  • TL;DR: Natural language is ambiguous. How much of it do we misunderstand?

    There are many tools to reduce misunderstanding: feedback, rephrasing, definitions, etc., but it would be really cool if a standardized logical language (like loglan/lojban but actually well done lol) became the worldwide second language and lingua franca. That would help a lot in our increasingly vocal interactions with computers.

  • Market growth, baby!

  • I guess masterpieces are now mainpieces

  • It’s more of a predictive keyboard on steroids.

  • "Actually, I want to own it"

  • That system raised the majority of Chinese from extreme poverty to middle class, right after the atrocious Cultural Revolution. That was a good thing.

    The latent risk that the next dictator PM undoes that is a very bad thing, though.

  • Don't recommend that line of thought unless you enjoy your weenie being chewed off.

  • Of course not, silly! It's about pollution and everything getting cancer.

  • Texas Instruments (of murder)

  • And us "shithole countries" receive some immigrants from USA that put to shame the worst we could send back, only they call themselves expatriates.

  • But now they can directly sell the AI manipulation instead of watching others sell it.

  • why

  • It's one thing to openly be a happy gay couple, and another going to excessive lengths to make sure everyone witnesses you as gay.

    A minority will fight back, because no one can please everyone, but for most people, it's as annoying as straight/religious/republicans/etc. people making that trait their personality. We don't care, just make the world better by being happy with yourself.

  • This is the healthy, well-adapted approach. Never run from things only because you dislike them, you'll never stop running.

  • Guns

    Jump
  • "... but if you can't, please make sure they enter unarmed so I can shoot them safely"

  • A lump of mostly fat then? Seems needlessly specific.

  • Light makes the inscription, lightning runs through it.

  • This sums it up. That cool song you would like to know the name or artist? Bad luck if it wasn't popular. Where does x idiom come from? Wait until you're at home/the library.

    You would have many of these unresolved questions for years, until some solved itself fortuitously.

  • B-but you see, the kid was CURSED!

    Oh, never mind then!
