Who should drop it how?

The Marshall Islands, which accept Taiwans to be a sovereign nation?

Most of the EU, the USA and Russia do not officially state Taiwan is a sovereign nation to not antagonize China.

Yet if China wants to host the next world war, a lot of nations think they are well prepared for the occasion.

None of us can do anything about it.

Bullies respond to your confidence and your self esteem. They got to you so far, that you become unsure of your self worth. During the day there are plenty of social interactions, that can form a win for your self esteem. Think of it as giving someone else who is down a little boost. Just go outside and for a passing moment be kind, friendly and good to someone else. No matter who and no matter the situation. Gift someone a small moment of attention and make their day just a little better.

A law should be broad, to be applicable for a long time and multiple situations, yet clear enough not to be misunderstood.

For example, once it is decided if conduct is deemed unfair or dangerous, there should be little interpretation on the consequences and they should differ.

Weirdly laws are usually very specific on what is deemed unfair, yet rarely on what is dangerous.

Laws and regulation should never be to specific. You give very specific guidelines and times, such as 8 years, 50% of etc.

Principles would be formulated differently. I'd prefer something along the lines like:

Before remastering, let a game mature.

Cherish the initial release, archive it and keep it available.

Take care when remastering a game, to be true to the original, include a switch in the options if possible.

Etc.... maybe improved wording.

The same way one explains that mental arithmetics are useful, even though calculators exist.

Assume there is a ground truth to all knowledge and it is finite. Above that is an infinite amount of recombination, remixes or transformations. Most of the ground truth has been uncovered in tedious small steps over centuries growing to a vast library. Now assume none of us can hold it in a single brain. Just some time ago people thought a computer is a middle class woman performing calculations, tables of hard to calculate functions. Everyone can do these calculations on a phone, but only a few do them in their head, even less look them up in a table. Now the computer turnes into a cogigtator. It simulates a thinking mind, that holds more than a brain could. It allows an even wider populus access to this vast library in a simplified manner. Shouldn't this be an overall improvement?

Obviously the snake bites its own tail but eventually another snake will eat it whole.

Yes absolut exactly. LUCA comes to mind as a base class. Obviously attributes and methods differ quite greatly, we are not just dogs. To reconcile all abuse in this life sounds great, to the humans class, to the dog class it is probably of little interest.

Yet specific therapy dogs can take a lot of abuse, without ever lashing out. They are great for troubled children.

Interesting take.

I may imagin Job being as class with core attributes, integrity and commitment, and the variable attributes like wife, wealth, family etc. You can have billions of different instances of Job and the variable attributes may change over time. If integrity and commitment are unphased by that, the instance of Job is reliable. It is Jobs choice to be reliable, no matter his attributes.

Mistreating dogs changes their core attributes and makes them less reliable. They might be rehabilitated, but this crucial part is not their choice.

This is how I would see the difference. What do you think?

With late interpretation I mean what is after the fact.

Job has not read his own story.

A late interpretation for me is viewing him, with what he has defined.

If faith would be praying five times a day and avoiding shellfish, his story becomes meaningless.

As you pointed out well, there are many scholars who discussed faith and belief over time. I am not a religious authority, think of me as a simpleton. You may choose their take on the word, it is a late interpretation to me. It could be a whole book on the matter.

The direct translation is reliable.

The word used was "aemuna" or "æmunatō". The most basic translation is reliability. The other word much later was pisteōs with loyalty in its most basic translation.

The concept of faith as you describe it is a late interpretation, morphing both concepts together. Jobs "faith" is his reliability of character, neither his believe nor faith, yet axiomatically the definition behind those words. That if you choose to believe in God and have faith your reliability of character will come or strive to have it.

Without being misleading, you may have it without any believe or faith in God.

In the story oh Hiob/Job,he is unaffected in his behavior and the trust instilled in him from others, which clearly discouble his person from his misfortune.

In the original there is no word for faith, believe or trust only for character. Job is of good character despite his misfortune, that makes him a man of God.

After it is written out it appears to be an inherent truth.

Seems to be a practitioner of stoism, to shift ones inner outlook, non obvious takes are strong.

For my explanation I take a further definition of hand and handedness, maybe you find it compelling.

They have no hands because a hand has chirality, from the Greek word for hand. This means that it's mirror image can not be overlayed or superimposed with the original object and there is a distinction between left and right hand. The hand of a Lego figurine lacks this very specific property.

A fun motivated cold water start for some essential basics.

No it is not. It is not a primary source, it is a collection of some sources, the information is freely edited by anyone. People who put a lot of effort into piling up the knowledge of humanity into the Wikipedia are just human.

Even though it is one of the most valuable collections of human knowledge and a giant effort, with absolute astonishing quality, that is also free and easy accessable to everyone, it isn't safe.

You can never trust it, you can not cite it and you should know it is full of mistakes. Better check the sources for yourself, it is sometimes worthy to take a look at the discussion.

If you stumble upon a mistake, you are accosted to improve upon it, using the edit function.

Seems you switched q and g there.

Is this the correct one?

All these data points crystalize out from these two events and seem connected. Even though there are a million other data points to both stories, that are not similar. For example, Mr Kennedy was 3.2 inches smaller than Mr Lincoln.

What is amazing is your ability, to find this seemingly similar data of both events.

But you also forgot some, did you know both wore a top hat during their inauguration?

This is usually explained with focus selective perception. We love to find patterns, since they give us a feeling of connection. From this sometimes knowledge emerges.

In this case it is a statistical phenomenon, that reminds me of the Bible code. Check it out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_code

It goes quite deeper than you think.

Politicians conveniently suffer from amnesia, when pressed on some issues, concerning money, who they have met or what was shared with them. That is to say stupidity works as an excuse, even though we don't like it.

"Competently-executed" is taking it too far. Look at the mess, it's all childish and cruel.

There is another one concerning stupidity. It is that stupidity and love can not be differentiated from the outside. Not knowing if you are in love or just stupid, is in essence a heartbreak.

Imagine sending help in form of water, food or school equipment to children in a warzone being equated to aiding terrorism.

Politicians failing to read the writing on the wall, then overcorrecting and acting devoid of all humanity and only for selfish reasons is the norm, sadly. What the conspiracy theory is doing, is proposing this to be a clever move, when selfishness and stupidity also suffice as explanation.

Feels like reading about the "turbo encabulator". Also converting sound into electrical energy isn't the first thing that comes to mind to drive an ultra silent submarine.

Surprisingly it is still plausible. It is a niche application for a very specific form factor and purpose.

They told me, people would drink themselves to death more easily. So it was only reserved for people who were clearly in control, I may have seen one patient with it and hundreds of hardcore alcoholics. The patient on them, needed to be isolated and we all got informed to not give him alcohol under any circumstances. Which is much more difficult, then one would think. These people always talk about alcohol romantically.

The alcoholis always find a way to get to alcohol, we had a reductive approach on station. There was 2 beers a day, one with breakfast and one with a late dinner. Which was offered open and could be willingly declined, it rarely was. If problem arose during the stay, we had shots of clear alcohol, just don't show the bottle. This was for the hardcore patients, who couldn't even walk otherwise. Get a shot, get an x-ray, really speed things along. The idea was to get them down to a state, were you could manage them somewhat, reduce their pressure and then offer treatment for their other ills, which was our responsibility. It is extremely difficult, we had people drink perfume and hand sanitizer, because we didn't offer the beers and their alcoholism slipped under the radar. They would never admit to drinking. Alcoholism is such a crazy disease, these people can emotionally blackmail others to bring them alcohol and lieing is part of the disease. Those people ignore or don't even comprehend that they are drinking sometimes. Beer and Champaign aren't alcohol to them and are ignored, they will tell you they haven't had a drink in a three weeks stay, having 2 beers a day and half a bottle of liquor, that you provided. It is crazy.

Giving them medication, that can kill them when they empty their bottle of liquor, is stupid.

Seems impossible, to have a medication that eliviates the effects of hardcore alcohol withdrawal, but is also harmless with a bottle of hard liquor. Maybe I'm wrong here, but sounds to good to be true.

I don't believe in magic pills. Try honesty, the self-delusion of alcohol is the big problem. Pills are another form of delusion. Just accept to feel horrible for a while as part of the process? Or is taking a pill so vastly different from talking a shot of liquor?

Yes, sometimes if you are unemployed you need financial stability fast or loose valuable resources and assets.

So you take what you can find for a job.

For some reason, getting a job from unemployment is often very difficult, while it is much easier to find a new position when you already employed.

You are more confident then, have a better stance in negotiation, etc.

If you have enough resources and assets to burn through, while skilling up without pay, you are quite lucky.

That's difficult, motivation is the ultimate key. I love to unwind, doing something else, startet wakeboarding and smashing my face in water. Started a weird obsession of meeting real people playing some GO, chatting and loosing.

Something about trying new things and being horrible at them, makes the day to day the dorment state. I feel relaxed with task I can complete and excitement for what comes so natural to others but is beyond my abilities. I wish I could just slide on water or see the spaces for the stones.

Something different, something just for you.

Otherwise it is only the lonely mind against the void. Problems you can't explain to anyone, pushing the wheel of death to move at all.

There is no pushing through, there is no holding out, it is what it is. Kneip it, hot then cold, enjoy the change don't suffer one too long. Accept both states as what they are. It got me so far.

But what do I know. Not at it for so long, but I accept my depressions when autumn changes leafs. This is a month away in the north, so enjoy the sun and don't worry so much. When it is cold and dark outside it is easy to be productive.

Control of registering was implemented in Germany in 1875, with increased military ambitions. Everybody born had to be registered and so had their parents, their profession and where they are from. The latter having even some specifics, such as a small landmark, where they are to be found. Obviously to find the young man for military service if required. The church had a similar system before, but didn't registered everyone, only members.

Many Germans names are professions like Schuster, Müller, Schmied, Spengler, Fickenwirt, Schäffer, Fassbinder and so on.

Some are landscapes Hügel, Hove, Höcker, Berg, Barg, Moor, Bach and so on

Some added the man to it Bergmann, Bargmann, Moormann and so on. Or you have other interesting combinations. Many names are construction from areas and professions, everything you would find on the new governmental register or the church register before that.

I always thought it would be very logical to translate your specific landmark or job into a lastname. Just the typical lack of creativity of a governmental employee.

I think it is similar for other countries.

I don't know what insight is. So this is more of my opinion to understanding 50% of your question. Just my few cents, maybe it helps you.

Assume there is a space of expansion E, where anything in Z can be expanded by additional filler e.g Harry Potter with a dictionary definition after every word. Novel yes, insight no O is never reached.

Assume there is a space of remixes and recombinations R in O and not current in Z, this space can be found by LLM e.g Harry Potter vs Moby Dick. That is entirely novel, but from existing material contained in Z. Things that aren't contained in Z can not be recombined or remixed, O is never reached.

Assume there is a space of transfers T, where knowledge or structure in a subset of Z can be applied to another subset of Z, creating a new thing, e.g Harry Potter as a Shakespearean sonnet. Again this is novel, but not insight. We can change the structure of a thing sure. Structures not contained in Z should not appear, O is never reached.

These are just transformation, based on the structures and object from the existing. Illusive to us, as we neither know all objects or structures contained in Z, as it is already way to vast.

So I prompted an LLM....

"Dear LLM, write a poem in 3 words of a person using a vending machine. The last word is made up expressing the sound." LLM: Coins clink/jingle Buttons press/beep Snacks zizzle/sizzle

Note plural, the misunderstanding, in between slashes it flipped words and me being a bad prompter. My point is this:

throw in push rrrrummms

The structure of two verbs and a made up sound as poem might not be contained in Z. Writing out a sound somewhat autistically is not contained in Z.

These type of poems aren't novel either, but fun.

undress cover Zzzrrrhhh

grab unfold Aachooo

There is a reduced version of O comprised to a Z from that all O can be recombined and found. O can be safely reduced by E R T, Z only needs to contain all objects and structures, not all expansions, recombinations and transfers.

In the latter probably lies the problem of LLM eating themselves, when fed with their own output, I guess.

Strictly in my opinion, prompting is just a transformation from concise to verbose.

You have a short statement, with a description of your problem and the answer is a long text.

Sometimes we prefer verbose, sometimes concise. Sometimes a word already has all the meaning we need, another time we need a long description and examples. Depends on our level of knowledge.

So from my limited point of view, you excell at moving any statement into something you can comprehend easily or that is helpful to you.

That is a nice skill and it should vastly improve your ability to communicate and express yourself.

Like beeing able to use a search engine before, it is very beneficial. Not a skill someone would hire you for, but a skill that aids many tidous tasks.

Again, my limited opinion. Maybe it is more magical and has deep practical applications, that I am oblivious to.

In my experience about a quarter of the younger generation give the wrong answer to long text based questions. The question stated was:

"Would you favor or oppose the government installing surveillance cameras in every household to reduce domestic violence, abuse, and other illegal activity?"

Very bad question, especially if your possible answers are [Yes] and [No]. What is a household? Just the entrance?

It's a story, the ferryman has the oar, he stops being the ferryman without it, the next guy having it is the new ferryman. So you just pass it on. It's a task you can never finish but only pass on.

A very bad translation for "ferrymans oar".

You can unload task and work on them. When I have to deal with a smart talker I usually try to use the opportunity to pass the Sharon paddle. It shuts them up most of the time and they then avoid me. If I fiddle with a device, just moving away and let them do it, usually ends it very quickly. Put them on the spot. In meeting it is much better, but it is delicate art of baiting people and anticipating them. Unload unfavourable task to them and grab something fun on the way.

You be surprised, sometimes those smart talkers produce some interesting result when triggered correctly. Some get overwhelmed and might break, so be careful with this.
