Yeah, I should have said "wishes". Not everyone votes based on self-interest. (And in a FPTP system you are, IMO, better off voting against the person who least represents your wishes).
Nah, you elect the person who best represents your interests, not the person who best represents you.
"much of"?
Well that sucks. Thanks for the update. I listened to a couple. The first (current?) run on Past Lives was about slavery, and was a bit too "misery porn" for me. The historical fiction component of the show was always…
I've been starting with "write three paragraphs about X" when I want to talk about X, as a form of "priming the pump" - getting closer to the useful point in the phase space. After all, it doesn't matter who in the…
I'm really annoyed that Patrick gave up on that. I mean, I know he's been doing it a decade, and I can't chain him to a desk, and I'm being entitled, but...
Doesn't have to be specific training, just has to consume simonw's blog. It's got lots of SVG pelicans, with helpful commentary on how good they are. I think there might be some kind of hill climbing going on here.
ElectricSheep (https://electricsheep.org/) is still around. Based on fractal flames (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_flame). Freaks out corporate firewalls though, because it looks a lot like a file sharing…
Interesting idea. I think they're getting more wordy over time, personally, so I think it's more to do with the training than the raw data.
Three months, tops.
City-level reddit subs have a fair idea where to avoid, I find.
I like SQL. I enjoy writing SQL. I find ORMs produce crap SQL. But the current shortcut du jour is pretty damn good at writing SQL.
I guess in much the same way that the best camera is the one you have with you, the best music playback device is the one in your pocket. Hence why AM transistor radios were so popular way back when. (Just musing. But…
Does en-GB-Brummie cover the whole of the Black Country?
Ireland rejected. The treaty was modified to address the concerns of Irish voters. Ireland accepted. "Ireland rejected, the treaty was modified, and the Irish government said 'despite your changes, we refuse to allow…

If anyone's interested in this: "From Counterculture to Cyberculture" by Fred Turner and "What the Dormouse Said" by John Markoff. Putting my nostalgia-tinted glasses on, it's sad how far we've strayed from that.
Great comment. Really interesting to see "scratch your own itch" described as an "aristocratic hobby". If the language barrier disappeared overnight, would the situation still be the same, do you think? What would an…
> Medicine/education, that's the Greeks Egyptians, Shirley? (Although they're such abstract concepts, I'm sure everyone had them to some degree).
Modern archaeologists are painfully aware that theirs is a destructive science, and do their best to mitigate that. The most extreme example is probably the tomb of the First Emperor, Qin Shi Huang, where official…
If money is no object, you could have it play code golf. "Make this shorter, but still pass all the tests". This is not a serious suggestion.

I've been wondering lately if old-school cybernetics might help there. But my off-the-cuff, uninformed opinion is that the precise structure doesn't matter too much, and the impact these structures really have is that…
90 day life cycle. Rare for them to live over a year in the wild.
Bingo. I figure they had a switch they could toggle and they thought no further about the tradeoffs. Because their primary concern is their own liability, not what's best for the org their contract is with.
