    I wonder if someone educated in this could provide the neurological benefits of reading, outside of communication. They are numerous, are they not? Memory, neuroplasticity, focus, …

    Asking customers to pay anything prior to purchase is a non-starter... Imagine a brick-and-mortar shoe store asking customers to pay an entry fee to shop before customers enter the…

    At the same time they are enacting another round of massive layoffs. Why does this company deserve tax-breaks on their AI data-centers again?

    100% agree. There's no substance to the argument, just the same cultish rhetoric from the aristocracy trying to fleece us into thinking that, while they simultaneously push mass la…

    I think language grammars are the an interesting way to define a ruleset too. Forget REST API's or MCP Servers for a second... Define a domain specific language, and let the langua…
