Can someone explain what the leading sentence means? Why is it written like this? > ... lasted from 1873 to 1877, continuing until 1879 ... Isn't that just "lasted from 1873 to 187…

You could always eat two. But most people are inclined to use one as a "serving". The same thing has been said about pints of ice cream. They are (or were?) labeled as being 2.5 se…

https://mapofmetal.com/ was always one of my favorite (and I don't even listen to metal).

It matters if you're going to call it an "interesting test".

Is it? Or has ChatGPT read the answer before.

Use a stack? LIFO. As long as you have capacity to keep it mostly empty, it's fine. When requests backup, at least some people will still get quick responses, instead of making eve…

I feel like saying that is supports AI players, but not having a simple, already hosted example is a disservice. Even tic tac toe, or go fish would be a nice hook to help people un…

Nah. I live in Boston. I strongly prefer public transit, but I'll take driving here over most other cities, any day of the week. The _road layout_ is awful, but drivers are pretty …

Importantly - you don't have to know the odds of the coin ahead of time, or which side is more likely. You only need to know that it is consistent.

I did a bit more digging and think I might have gotten the story a tiny bit muddled, but maybe not? Most the articles I find talk about the barber vs doctor distinction, but they a…

There is some history here, at least in the US. As I recall, when "modern medicine" was first forming, there was a push to make it part of what we would consider standard medical c…

Every time I see this take, I am caught by the subtle arrogance that we are doing anything meaningfully differently in our own minds. Hyperbole aside, I do think we do more than an…

Outside of the few that seemed cartoonish, the key signs seemed to be: 1) Furriness that seems a little too soft and fuzzy. 2) Overdone bokeh or depth-of-field. 3) Insect on a flow…
