I think that D meets Walter Bright's requirements.

I like: "In Ether words" and "Example Given"

Super helpful, thanks!

If I'm close to weekly limits on Claude Code with Anthropic Pro, does that go away or stretch out if I switch to Haiku?

I had never picked up on the nuance of the V-K test. Somehow I missed the salience of the animal extinction. The questions all seemed strange to me, but in a very Dickian sort of w…

My understanding is that insults are illegal as well as certain expressions of Naziism.
