Yep, truth tables mostly. Math is mostly useful in game programming.

Could be done, it’s a country in Europe. It reaches into Asia, but then again France reaches into South America and nobody complains.

EU isn’t only about open borders. It’s open market and lots more.

I love it, read all the books. I particularly enjoy the Lincoln lawyer series, but Bosch is great too. I read them in order starting with The Black Echo, and the series is consistently good. It’s worth reading in order to have an understanding of Bosch’s career and life progression.

I’d say Michael Connelly is my favorite author. The only book I didn’t really enjoy was “Chasing the Dime”.

Your email, address, phone number can be used to spam and scam you.

Didn’t take long, compared to how much Ukraine had to wait to get permission to use it on Russian territory while defending themselves.

Ona scale of units consumed, yes. A TikTok lasts seconds whereas a book takes days to compete.

However, I’ve read books more engaging than some tiktok videos.

AGI could be possible if a new breakthrough is made. Currently LLMs are just pretty good text predictor, and any intelligence exhibited by them is because they are trained on texts exhibiting intelligence (written by humans) . Make a large enough model, and it will seem like an intelligent being.

That’s ableist. Not every voter can can get in the booth by themselves.

Age is no exception. Older voters lean conservative, while younger voters are more progressive. Age restriction is voter suppression.

There are a lot of adults who shouldn’t be allowed to vote, but in democracy you let everyone have equal say and don’t make arbitrary rules to exclude certain groups.

Are you a citizen, bound by law, or pay taxes? Then you have a say in who makes them.

What’s actually driving the price increase? Employees or corporate profit?
