    Me neither. I'm sending words of support, because I don't know why you're downvoted. I assume parent's post is sarcasm, but I'm not 100% sure - I know there are people who hold sim…

    Is there a reason why you don't? Is it just general bitterness and cynicism? As far as I know all major search engines respect rebots.txt, I don't see why LLM scrappers would be di…

    I like that it immediately assumed the US, even though nothing in your question suggested it. I love that all LLMs have a strong US centric bias. Btw I'm not personally a lawyer, b…

    Well, maybe I'm biased - I've tested a 120Hz monitor recently and I legitimately didn't see a huge difference between 60Hz. Maybe in mouse trails when I was intentionally looking f…

    But there are safety concerns, and it's not possible to go 1000km/h on the highway. So there's not much point in having a 1000km/h car, because you will never use its full potentia…

    I didn't get the impression from the blog post that island evacuation happens every few weeks. In fact, "first" suggest something opposite of that is true. Can you explain why you …

    I appreciate the downvotes, but I'm honestly looking forward to hearing a better alternative (than helping Ukraine financially and with weapon shipments). I imagine people expressi…

    Right now they live off donations (including mine) and I won't donate if they commercialize. Also, there's no easy way to monetize on users without ads, and I'm pretty sure signal …

    I want the war in Ukraine to end, and. There are two options: to let Putin get what he want and risk my country being next, and to help Ukraine. Do you have other suggestions? Of c…

    He didn't say it's good or even tolerable, just that it happened for at least 15 years already (and probably more).
