Some of them exist against the will of the host country's government, for example in Cuba and Iraq, and Iraq's government is even democratically elected (albeit with issues)

Even if you formally specify what you want on a high level and the LLM implements it on a low level, yes, you can call yourself the programmer and the LLM would be a compiler but it would still be amazingly useful
Funnily Avogadro's constant is actually equal to 1: it's defined as Avogadro's number times mol, but mol is itself a dimensionless quantity equal to the inverse of Avogadro's number.

Re:U+237C ⍼ Right Angle with Downwards Zigzag Arrow on Wednesday April 13, 2022 @10:33AM (#31015101)
I believe in German (possibly also other languages) the thunderbolt ↯ is commonly used to mean "this is a contradiction" in a mathematical proof, equivalently to in English a kind of ⋕ rotated by 45° or the symbol ※. The symbol ⟂ on the other hand means "false" and is used in particular in formal logic.

I never heard of this guy before, but for someone who has written "The answer for those who support Western civilization, regardless of sex, color, or religion, is to embrace white tribalism, white separatism, and especially white Christian masculine rule", these are exactly the adjectives that shuld be in the opening paragraph of an encyclopaedia article about him. He is politically active and very extreme, which is noteworthy information.
