It’s not dying at all; it’s just dispersing. Entropy is odd that way; life turns out to be an entropy accelerator.

It’s like switching from cigarettes to chickory.

Eats Shoots and Leaves

Of those three, only “white” is one that can’t change in an instant.

And Trump seems to want to cover that one up.

East Asian people tend to be more racist than Russians; the Rus themselves tend to feel superior to other Russians, but aside from that superiority, they’re likely to not care much about race.

Chinese and Japanese? Very insular.

Of course, if you’re living outside China/Japan/Russia, you’re going to have different interactions with people from there, many of whom will have left because they rejected the culture.

No lol about it. That’s either a thinly veiled death threat, or someone saying that they will keep bullying and harassing until the person goes away.

The content is open to interpretation based on context, but the «» indicates that English is likely not the quoter’s primary language.

So based on that, I have to ask: are you asking specifically about the nested idioms in the sentence?

“There’s a difference between “siding with” and refusing to endorse something.

This is like them saying “in not cutting their hands off, voters continue to side with Democrats.”

It’s highly possible that most of those voters also don’t want to funnel their money to the 1% via Democrat policy. Many probably detest having to make a binary choice between what’s in their worst interest and what’s just more of what got us where we are.

Most likely you have ancestors who lived in what is now France. Either that, or you have ancestors whose descendants moved around, and some of them settled in what is now France.

This could have happened before or after France became a nation.

Then again, it’s pretty likely that you have ancestors who lived in Africa.

Where I live, it’s all planned out in CAD, and then the inner concrete curb is calculated and broken up into sections, according to the plan.

Then the intersection being replaced (because that’s almost always the case) is dug up in the center and the concrete forms put in place and the center backfilled with gravel and dirt.

After the concrete has set, the asphalt machines re-level and pave the surrounding area. After this, brick is often added inside the concrete to provide an extra driving surface for large vehicles. Then plants or statues are added to the centre.

After all this, the lines and markings go on, and they’re just offset from the concrete curb, so nothing fancy needs to be done; the paint truck just has a little arm that stays over the concrete.

Same reason — most LLMs are 3-18 months outdated in their core models. That means from their perspective, “news” is all predictions about the future.

Thing is, privacy isn’t binary; it isn’t even a spectrum. It’s an amorphous 3-dimensional cloud.

Total privacy means that nobody else knows you even exist. Nobody wants total privacy, even if they think they do.

What most people want is for governments and corporations to not be able to track their day to day activity, malicious actors to not have access to their identity and financial data, and individuals to only have the information about them needed to connect and relate in society.

The first thing anyone needs to do is create their own privacy and threat models. Identify your personal risks within those models and adapt as needed.

For instance, using a cellphone of any type means you’re using a location tracker. Same goes for any vehicle with a built in cellular device. That information is available to specific corporations as well as government agencies and sometimes third parties with money.

Is it worth giving up that level of privacy to be connected to other people in most places you’d be likely to go? That’s up to the individual.

Same goes for libre software and hardware.

The important bit:

Those joining from unsupported platforms will be automatically placed in audio-only mode to protect shared content.

And I presume everything except Windows 11 Teams will be considered “unsupported”.

Well, also remember that the current model was likely trained before the data was scrubbed, so from it’s perspective, you are asking it to create a work of fiction.

Imagine a camera on the bottom of the body instead of where the eyes would be. Now have it circle like an eagle, flapping as needed. Telephoto lens.

The one thing it has going for it is covert surveillance.

The craft was designed to land on Venus unharmed; it is likely in one piece at the bottom of the ocean.

Unfortunately, tape can’t mute the microphones.

Based on current spending, it will most likely be spent getting drinkable water to the majority of the world’s population.

I don’t like how he got his money, but he’s been reasonably responsible with it since his divorce.

That said, he has over $113b dollars. If he gives away 99% of it, he’ll still have over a billion dollars.

It all depends on goals. If your goal is to fake it into a high paying job, cheating works. If your goal is to enrich your knowledge, it’s useless.

But in order to always do the second, you pretty much have to have enough confidence in your ability to have a soft landing when you graduate that it isn’t worth it OR already have a better grasp of the subject at hand than the average intelligence distilled by an AI.
