Of course they do, better than ever actually. Google OpenType ligatures, for example. You can even use those on the web using CSS.

Some fonts have hundreds of different ligatures.

Both are broken as far as I know. First one hasn’t updated for years, and recent reviews for the second one claim it crashes on startup.

Are there any good iOS Tor browsers? All that I’ve seen are either shit or require some insane subscription.

Likely? I feel like I’ve read several news stories confirming arms shipments from China here and there. Weren’t there?

I don’t understand how Chinese room is a valuable argument. To me, while the person inside the room doesn’t understand Chinese, the system room-person-instructions does. You don’t argue that you don’t understand your language because none of your individual neurons understand it.

I don’t claim that chatGPT “understands” the language, I just don’t think that this argument applies in general.

Idk, that’s more of a “not yet finished” thing rather than “failed” imo

Oh right, didn’t consider some may remain sealed, that’s cool.

Out of weird drinks, I’m betting on kykeon, an LSD-like psychedelic drink made from ergot-infected barley :)

Considering that it sank like 2000 years ago, would there be any detectable molecular traces left to figure out amphoras’ contents? Or would everything be destroyed by now?

Why do you feel like matrix has failed? I joined it recently and to me it looks like it’s kinda growing.

I agree that it should be a platform feature, just offering a suggestion how to evade some scrutiny for now. People seem to comment about it quite often, so it might be an ok temporary solution.

And, you know, it does look weird.

As a suggestion, I think it might be a good idea to space out the submissions by some amount of time, like half an hour or so. I’d guess the biggest gripe that people have is that it occupies a large chunk of the timeline simultaneously and it’s just weird to suddenly notice it. Here’s how it looks like for me.

What about them? Can you link to a published and verified piece of evidence that has been provided by them?

I have yet to see one. Can you link to something that can’t be explained by planes and balloons? Genuine question.

Edit: This person deleted their comments, so to clarify, it’s an answer to something along these lines: “You need evidence? Did you look at the post?”

I did. And there is exactly zero verifiable evidence. Are there any verified photos? Material or biological analyses? Spectrography graphs? For now, there is none.

At this point it’s still just “one dude heard that another dude says it’s totally true”. Once something goes public, we can discuss it. But for now, nothing can be seriously discussed, it’s all speculation.

Hell, I would love for it to be aliens. But up to this point in our collective history, it’s never aliens.

— UFOs are real and we’re shooting them down with energy weapons!
— I have yet to see any evidence supporting that. Plus, is has a lot of logical holes too.
— And what’s your evidence for that? Haha gottem

The burden of proof lies on the person making the original claim, not someone disbelieving it for lacking actual real-life evidence.

No one is going to post news/articles here and then discuss them as they would in a regular post. It won’t get bumped up on the subscribed page if something interesting happens. Most of the comments here are going be about the megathread itself.

So this is effectively banning all the discussion concerning all of his companies. Which might be something you want to do, every community can decide for itself what kind of stuff they want to forbid after all. But I feel like it should be said directly, not via making a catch-all megathread.

I read the article and I still don’t really understand how exactly it’s supposed to work. I guess it can detect some deformation within the cable, but is this deformation guaranteed when a leak has occurred?

Does it give false positives or false negatives, and how often? Would different placement along the pipe matter? And is there some measurement besides “the cable has slightly deformed somewhere”? Like, is there a way to find the location of the leak, for example, or should the pipe be checked along the whole length of the cable between detectors?

I think that expanding it to allow for custom blocking patterns will make it more appealing in general. Like being able to add your rich_person_of_choice to the list or the ability to block a company (Meta anyone?) might both be useful features.

Not sure if it fits your plans though or how hard it’s going to be to implement.

Btw, what’s the current judicial status of exit nodes around the world? Why was he charged, yet the isp wasn’t? Would the isp be charged if it ran a similar exit node, or is it strictly because it was a private entity?

I saw this article posted in another thread and it seems to explain a lot. Not sure how close it is to reality, but it looks like nostalgia is at least a partial reason for this change.

Yep. Fucking nostalgia.
