Sorry if I ask, what does it mean to remotely start air conditioning?

Do you mean you can start it while you are not in the car? What's the purpose of such a feature?

We also have much better technology and produce much more stuff with significantly less labour.

This is not really about the rich people paying taxes, it's more about the fact that if we have better technology and production why do people have to work more?

Indeed, boomers are more; but I think we are able to sustain their lives without them having to work.

Stuck at thermodynamics and can't even see statistical mechanics at the top of the hill...

Possibly more than being a therapy pet.

That is still a long way from an LLM

Mosquitos, all of them. Ecosystem will equilibrate eventually and all will be fine.

I'm not grasping what you want to say.

The turing test is an outdated test, it has been an important milestone but nobody working on computer sentience either philosophically or scientifically considers it a valid test anymore.

According to the turing test, LLMs are sentient beings. The widespread opinion is that they are not.

NTFS? Why would someone want to use NTFS?

The turing test is not relevant anymore. Any LLM would pass the turing test without much problems.

I do agree with you, and I also find it extremely annoying that I am expected to give a tip. However, when I go to the US I know their society works like that, I am visiting and I respect their customs, regardless of how idiotic they seem to me, I just treat the tip as part of the price and there's that.

What I really find annoying of waiters in the US is that they know you'll give them a tip and attempt to their best to be servicing with you all the time. Asking you several times if all is good, you need something else and so on. I remember once I took a beer with my girlfriend in a bar and before I got to drinking half of that I was asked by 3 different waiters if everything was alright several times as well as being asked twice if I wanted another beer.

Fuck off guys, if I want something I'll ask you. You're not being kind by doing all this, just annoying.

You start tripping out

Wouldn't it be simpler to just directly charge the amount with the tip after asking the customer how much they want to tip?

For a policeman to stop me, the restaurant would actually have to call the police. Never had that happen, I guess they do know they served you bad food when they do. Actually in most cases I had people saying they were sorry and would offer me a free meal next time; not that I'm coming back anyway.

You're free to judge.

Unfortunately not, Anna's archive has got some which are not on sci-hub, but not much more

I tried the hedgedoc demo.

As far as I can see it supports latex and has some change revision mechanism. Unfortunately no bib file support, but I guess that's ok.

However, I can not find a way to add comments to the rendered text. Is that possible on the self hosted version?

That would be a deal breaker, most of what I need is actually reading documents written by other people and ask for clarifications or improvements.

I am shocked such an important matter has barely been given any attention.

Every time I open the newspaper these days it's all about Iran, Palestine, Ukraine, China and like other exotic vacation places.

Not even once they dedicated even a little article to this matter.

It is clear journalists are trying to hide such information, they are scared of the truth.

In Spain tipping is there, but it's quite sparingly done.

I don't know any statistics, but wouldn't be surprised if people gave tips no more than once a month on average.

Depending on the place and service it could be rounding up the bill or adding a note for the waiter. Rarely a tip would go over 10€.

The waiter is charged if a customer does not pay? That is quite absurd. That's a business loss, the owner should lose money and and not employees.

I don't know about America, when I did that I've always been quite loud and nobody ever thought about calling the police.

even if you're mad they didn't bring your refill quick enough.

Not sure what a refill is. I did not say that if I don't like the waiter I won't pay, in that case it just would be absurd for me to give them a tip. I said if I am served bad food I won't pay, which has nothing to do with wether the waiter was nice to me.

Never seen this as theft, it may legally be. I'm sure any policeman would agree and do nothing about it anyway.

Is this Poland actually doing better or are other countries doing worse?
