Maybe not directly. In 1947, it became the Department of the Army, and in 1949 the Department of Defense.

Bangladesh is interesting because of serious support for automated anti-blasphemy.

For agentic services, how would you be able to tell that you’ve been product-placed?

The advertising future looks like that to me, too. Service proxies like OpenRouter might talk about price optimization, maybe some ad filtering. But I expect proxies will have malicious entries, too, surreptitiously altering agentic prompts.

Could it also be highest per-capita calories from sugary drinks?

Just picture the smiling model in the advertisement; blithely and confidently referring to the device’s crisp screen while standing on the first-class deck of the 14 day cruise through Margaritaville.

Won’t bot-aware ad scripts simply inject a prompt with today’s list of fine products and services?

If you look closely in the Museum of Jurassic Technology in LA, you’ll find sympathetic efforts.

It’s hard to sincerely bring up things like site-to-site VPN, without condescending.

More precisely, a movement to leave GitHub mistakenly endeavors to leave git.

He certainly was controversial during the war. Jeff Davis was his secretary of war in the 1850s. Pierce seemed close to Davis during the Civil War and supported some Confederate narratives.

Iowa produces 1 in 8 eggs, and the 2024 election was about egg margins. It’s more honest to concentrate on relating egg margins to Iowans prosperity, than to try promoting intellectual freedom in a country which already has a first amendment.

Having “some gun deaths every single year” was a cost worth paying. The alternative, under gun control laws preventing school shootings, is not “rational”.

If all my friends drove 75 mph, would I risk driving 15 mph in front of them?

Because dime novels were indeterminate about race, it’s not a binary set of options. Those novels relied on dialect rather than physical description.

I think Peter Kuran has said that the majority of interesting footage is neglected rather than classified. He specializes in X-ray photos of the first few milliseconds.

One thing that might change your mind is the 20th century mythic cowboy. Where I’m from, maybe 1/4 cowboys were black. So we accepted that as whites-only theatre. Do we have to keep accepting whites-only theatre?

The enlistment bonuses tell that story: from St Petersburg, you get 10x the bonus compared to Dagestan.

And 25 cents in old time slang is two bits (a Spanish dollar was 8 bits, or a piece of 8). Some younger people abbreviated two bits into 2b, so we now have some divisive terminology, “2b or not 2b”. Short list of regexes.
