It’s not like they swapped titanium for balsa wood. The origin docs were falsified or missing, which could mean anything from they weren’t the right purity but were shipped anyway to they were imported from Russia and illegally bypassing sanctions.
This is a kind of bromeliad right? I’ve had some outside for several years in south Florida that are still “flowering” like that. at least one of them has stalked off a new plant
I’d let all of these statues and monuments stand, but require the descriptions to all be preceded with “defeated traitor”. So instead of the Robert E Lee Memorial Park or whatever it would now be the Defeated Traitor Robert E Lee Memorial Park. Require it to be referred to that way on Google Maps, local newscasts, etc and see how quickly people suddenly want to rename them.
What do you hate specifically – e.g. exercising in general, getting hot and sweaty, foot/leg/joint pain, your location or route, having to be alone with your thoughts for a while, etc? I’ve been running for nearly 3 decades now (yikes), and even as a kid I remember the thing that made it “click” with me is the realization that I literally could not be doing anything else at the same time (aside from listening to music, I guess).
I think that unless you are having physical pain (in which case the usual applies - check your shoes, modify your gait, reduce or restructure your runs to be more comfortable), you have to get into the headspace of just mentally doing nothing, which can be hard for some people.
FWIW I don’t know anyone who, in the middle of a 10k run in 90 degree heat with a side stitch says “I feel awesome right now!”, but I do know many, many people who will finish out that run, stop for a moment and then go “ahhhhhhh.”
This is actually pretty clever. If he’s found guilty then it’s rigged since even Mother Teresa would have been found guilty. If he’s found not guilty though, then he’s even better than Mother Teresa, since he beat a rap that would have taken her down or whatever.

Oh, yup, these are not derived from Phoenecian, but considering how recent they are they were developed after the concept of a phonetic alphabet had already been widely circulated
Do you have any info on that? I’m not too familiar with Eastern languages, but all of the examples that I can think of have phonetic alphabets less than a millennium old.
Yes, but it’s quite recent, only a few hundred years old - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_Hangul
The most insane thing to me is that — as far as anyone can tell — a phonetic alphabet was developed only once in all oh human history.
I’d say that this is the kind of thing we elect leaders to decide and implement for us, but my leaders are a bunch of fucking morons.
We’ve got to go dig them holes. 🎶

How is Worldcoin still a thing?
Maybe true, but even at $3500 the Vision Pro would be about the cheapest thing in the operating theater anyway.
Are you looking for a tool that can diff legal documents line by line or clause by clause? If the latter I’d bet an LLM with a large context size could do a pretty good job, especially if you used a script (or another pass through the LLM) to break them down into like sections so that could just compare e.g. all Controlling Law sections with each other and all IP Indemnification sections with each other.
Now that I think about it, tuning the prompt (and keeping the temperature very low, like 0) you could probably get it to return everything from proper diffs to summaries of conceptual differences. And it could definitely do multiples at once if you were to break them into like pieces ahead of time.
I bought one of these when the Amazon meme first got big. It has become a family tradition to try to hide it in somebody’s drawer/under a pillow/etc and claim that it was the power of the wolves. And then wait for it to make its way back….
My family’s spread out. Ours are well-traveled wolves.

This is why AI-created content will win the day. No complicated moral or ethical quandaries to navigate. Oh, except electricity usage. And copyright issues. And diminishing the value of human art and artists. And the possibility of skynet ending humanity.
Looks like it’s back to scratching rough drawings into the dirt for me…
When did we get away from saying “X - formerly known as Twitter” ? I liked seeing that gentle nudge in every headline.
