I absolutely agree. This will change nothing at best, and come across as sanctimonious BS that drives people away from what you're trying to say at worst. Whatever problems exist with ai, they come from funding models, incentives, negative externalities (power, water), inequity (pay to play, unauthorized use of training data), and the way they allow the least moral among us to poison the commons with unprecedented speed and efficiency.

Very little of this is affected by what we call it.

This doesn't seem to account for convection, which is presumably the entire point of a heat sink?

TBF if someone laid out and weighed the ingredients for me I'd love to make a cake. It's like the single most annoying bit

I've never actually seen or heard of this in the UK. It could well be real, but it's not that common. Most people I know have reasonable spice tolerance given as you say the popularity of Indian food there.

For those who aren't scientists, no. You don't need legal access. You don't necessarily need any access at all (though imo it's negligent to cite without having read the paper)

I absolutely agree! Honor in the sense of social obligation isn't a force for good, and can often be a very toxic force. UK politics is fundamentally broken and leads to countless problems for the people living there. I'm glad I left the country, I just try to help people be clear eyed about the ways it's different to the US, because it's very different and worth understanding on its own terms.

You know he didn't have to resign right? He literally only did it for honor. The uk political system is driven by honor. They even pressured Boris Johnson to resign. Could you imagine a US president resigning before their term was done?

The UK hasn't had a single prime minister fill out their full term since 2015

Happens the other way too. Used to work in IT with Australians and it was hard for them to stifle giggles whenever I was talking about routing packets or routers.

For them, "rooting" means fucking

The biggest strategic reason for the US is missile defence. It lays pretty much exactly between Russia and the US when taking the shortest path (over the north pole)

America has existing agreements with the danish government to put bases there for detection and interception etc.

However there is one line the Danish government has: no storing of nuclear weapons in Greenland. America was already found to have broken this agreement and had to remove them some time ago. I imagine this is the part they care about

People also write about mineral rights and stuff but imo that's secondary, there really isn't that much worth mining these days, especially not given the cost of inland expeditions in Greenland

TBF I was taught to use water on pies, it makes the crust of the pastry develop a shiny crisp edge.

Where do you live!? Cocos islands?

Much like flex tape.
