Yes. In fact, the famous ultra-orthodox traditional paella that Valencians stick to has rabbit. But many other variants do as well. In my family we often eat a simpler version from Murcia with no chicken, but more…
Just for the record, I'm a Spanish user with Google AI pro (€20 per month or so) and my app has Argon now. (Yay!)
I still use mIRC. It pretty much works like in the old days and has aged very well IMHO, I've tried other clients but none would convince me to switch. Now I even have a license (when I started using it, maybe at 15 or…
And apart from the advantages you mention, it was really configurable in terms of the level of involvement and openness you wanted. You could use it exclusively to chat with friends and otherwise be unreachable (as in…
And what reaches the West is surprisingly little. Take the Condor Trilogy, for example. It's not even underground or punk, it's a major cultural touchstone. Written more than 50 years ago, over 300 million copies sold,…
If things are that simple, how do you explain slow crushes? When you meet someone and initially don't feel any attraction, but when you repeatedly interact with them and learn more about them, you start enjoying their…
Why does electricity need to be profitable? Are roads, justice systems, or armies profitable?
It's worth considering that the Spanish football league has successfully lobbied to implement widespread Cloudflare IP blocks during matches that affect websites totally unrelated to football (or to any kind of piracy).…
I have a major ISP and cannot access directly, but in the last few years an VPN has become part of my routine (otherwise I wouldn't even be able to work normally during football matches) so I just click some random…
But he is totally right Spanish is more consistent in that respect, because it has a plural article. You can say "son unos perros" as well when you put that sentence in plural. Of course, that doesn't say anything about…
The average person? I have a Master's and PhD in CS, code regularly, and have followed and used all the cool technologies from the days of gopher, telnet and Mosaic to crypto, and lately LLMs. And I still don't have a…
No, I mean controlling for location. A specific example. The very same building developer completed these two buildings and offered the flats for sale more or less simultaneously, in the second half of last year IIRC.…
I would argue that the inner spaces are also nicer in traditional architecture. Taller ceilings where those of us who are tall can walk below a hanging lamp without hitting anything, or just stretch, taller windows that…
I'm from Spain and I mostly see Skechers, New Balance, Nike (doesn't seem to be doing that bad here?), ASICS, Puma, Converse, Vans. Lately Salomon. I hadn't heard of Hoka before either, maybe we are behind the times.
Yes, I confess I made the change when the masses started doing it and it became socially acceptable to wear running shoes to work. I think it started around ten years ago and consolidated with COVID. It's been a…
Sure, if you make oil prices increase, US oil companies and their shareholders rake in more cash. But it's harmful for the average American because filling up the tank costs a lot more. Then that price hike spreads to…
Yes, this is what has always blocked me from learning even basic music theory. I get that maybe it's just the way it is, perhaps the underlying logic is so complex that it would be counterproductive to present it up…
Here there's no skill involved either. It's not that you have some time to catch as many ducks as possible and if you're good at it you catch more. It's that the 10 € give you the right to catch e.g. 3 ducks, so you…
In fact it's the same thing. I said fish by mistake (probably because my mind made an association with the fishing rod and what it's usually used for) but they're ducks. I have edited the comment now.
Dictators have never had superintelligence, while the point of most doom scenarios is assuming that the AI will. Dictators are mortal and can't be present in the whole world 24/7 and self-replicate. Dictators are human…
By convincing people to do its bidding in the physical world. Language is powerful, and even now, there are some people who have fallen in love with current LLMs. If we imagine a truly super intelligent LLM, it isn't…
I didn't need to plan because we live right in the totality path of this year's eclipse. But our experience was similar... it was a great day, forecasts were good, but half an hour before totality black clouds began to…
So now the bar is not only to be at the level of a human, but to achieve it without the natural advantages of being a machine, while still having the disadvantages (lack of embodiment, etc.). If you went back to when I…
In Spain, if you try to casually use your bank app to transfer a big amount, you hit a limit. If you need to do that, you can go to a bank office or do a phone call, tell them, and they will temporarily lift the limit,…
And can actually be read, the other is so as-ridden that I just gave up (I know I should probably install some blocker in my phone, but I'm lazy).
