The thing I like best about character.ai is their TTS. Does anyone have an idea what engine they use? I don't suppose they invented their own system from scratch.

> if Israel wanted to achieve similar results via a conventional war against Hezbollah, it seems virtually guaranteed that far more innocent people would have been injured and kill…

That's needlessly verbose already. If you just warn people that disabling Bluetooth will disable their keyboard and mouse, they will put A and B together and cancel. No need to tur…

Do you think the current report at all incredible given Israel abysmal track record concerning human rights versus the Palestinian people?

Thousands of children have been killed. It is not really a matter of opinion.

Some people have an unbreakable belief that they can charm their way out of any misconduct, and oftentimes it works too. It's basically just narcissism.

You know what would be cool? The "Cancelling a large file copy doesn't freeze my explorer for 10 minutes" update. I've been waiting since Windows XP.

You are very confident in your knowledge about a lot of things.

So what's the plan now? Let this thing run its course until there are food riots in the USA?

That was not my point, but thanks for pointing out a paragraph in the source that I provided. I do notice a few 'citations needed' in the relevant clauses. Even so, if Nixon's poli…

There seems to be a widely accepted and unchallenged consensus that political power is unable to address inflation. Maybe it ain't necessarily so? In 1971 Nixon froze prices and wa…
