Calorie restriction is not the same as not eating.

I’d rather not stop eating…

Depends on your definition, but most foods are healthier than not eating.

I don’t think I’ve ever owned any version of Windows.

I read earlier “someone” were a couple of college students.

Windows 10 or 11 on all (three) day to day systems. Linux Mint on an old laptop which is hardly ever used, and windows xp on an ancient laptop that’s only used as music player, and not connected to any network.

If you really want to go that route, skip this book and read “poor man’s James Bond”.

I think that for a technological civilization to rise, you need some things to line up. First, life has to be evolved enough to have animals, beings with a brain. Then, a species has to evolve intellence to become a tool making species. This species also has to become the dominating species on the planet. Meanwhile, extinction events, ice ages, climate change and population bottlenecks are always influencing the evolution process.

This is for me the great filter, to have all these conditions line up perfectly for an intelligent, tool making species to evolve and thrive.

It’s probably a great hobby, with pleasantly little potential to turn into a side hustle.

Odroid has some nice boards, though I find them pricey.

The easiest to learn is the kazoo in my experience.

More serious: reading music isn’t nessecary to learn how to play an instrument. For instance, guitar can be played using tabs or even chord progressions.

My actual opnion is that they don’t want to think if they should, because they know the answer. The pressure to go public with a shitty model outweighs the responsibility to the people relying on the search results.

In the Netherlands, only one book I know of used to be banned (maybe it still is). The publishing rights of the work in question were claimed by the state in this instance, and they refused to allow publication of the book. The book in question was the Dutch translation of Hitlers “Mein Kampf”.

The site kissthisguy.com used to be a great source for this, but unfortunately today it’s mostly a place for lyrics which may also fit the song.

LLM’s may not have any intent, but companies do. In this case, Google decides to present the AI answer on top of the regular search answers, knowing that AI can make stuff up. MAybe the AI isn’t lying, but Google definitely is. Even with the “everything is experimental, learn more” line, because they’d just give the information if they’d really want you to learn more, instead of making you have to click again for it.

I get that the OP asked a question, but did you have to answer it with this level of detail?

In fact, most scientists throughout history were Christians sponsored by the Catholic Church.

Which is why the dark ages is where all the science happened in Europe.

Who says the companies need to keep the servers running? The petition is “to keep games in a working state”.

It could have happened, if Helen Viola Jackson would have applied for the pension.
