Moving forward, perhaps I should state that, "I was fully clothed while preparing this PR."

Yes, I wonder why the models do that so readily.

Has anyone else noticed how readily identifiable AI generated text is? This is a very cool project, and I suppose it's hard to know for sure, but everything about the site describing the project "feels" AI generated to me.

I do not say this to detract from the value of the project or its very interesting nature, by the way. Just an orthogonal observation.

I do not use, and have never used, a slide rule. My grandfather was an aeronautical engineering / materials scientist for McDonnell Aircraft, and did a lot of foundational work on heat shields for early space flight (or so I am told). He was eventually named a McDonnell Douglas Fellow, back when there were fewer than 15 Fellows - the company, at the time, took out a full-page ad in Aerospace Magazine announcing it.

I have his slide rule, that he used for ages. It's a mystery in a box to me - I have not the foggiest clue how it is used - but I cherish it.

I believe this is like `constexpr` for C#.

I'm sure they are working on a very strongly worded letter about this right this very moment.

I could not disagree with these points more. I cannot speak to other faiths, but having been raised as a Christian (and having read the Bible in its entirety at one point), this form of Christian apologism neatly steps over the logical incongruities and moral failings fundamental to Christianity.

It's the absence of belief in a deity - and therefore the recognition that the starting conditions of our lives was random chance, out of our control - that provides the foundation that all humans are equal and of equal value. That after 14 billion years of my atoms circling the universe I sprung forth, child of middle-class but reasonably well-educated parents in the United States, and not the child of struggling farmers in Australia, or drug addicts in Eastern Europe, was complete chance. To me this means that I am of no more importance than people born to those situations, irrespective of what they eventually managed to accomplish.

It's the absence of belief in a deity - and therefore the realization that life is finite, precious, non-transferable, and fair in so far as much is the product of chance - that means we should prefer human life over sentient robots. The consciousness of a one-day sentient robot will likely be transferrable, and therefore durable mostly indefinitely. Mine consciousness is, as of yet, not.

It's the absence of belief in a deity that neatly solves the problem of evil in the world. And so on, and so forth.

I'm happy for people to be comforted by religion, as they hurtle through a probabilistic universe, trying to fill the time between their birth and their death with meaning and enjoyment. When we die, it's unlikely that even a single lifetime later people then alive will even know or think about how we ever existed. So do what you must to be comfortable now. It'll all be over soon.

A marginal tax rate that discourages profit hoarding.

Any other answer is just wrong.

Tried to buy a hat and this person is... sold out. For a while!

I hever never once heard of a dutch roll occuring to a train.

Oh look a very long ad.

Sounds like you didn't have receive side scaling enabled; by default flows are queued to core 0 to prevent reordering. If you enable RSS, your flows will be hashed to core-specific queues.

It's inaccurate to describe traffic processing as single-threaded in the kernel.
