Be careful suggesting there could be nuance. Lots of people in this thread just want to be angy

Be careful suggesting there’s missing context. You might summon the downvote brigade lol.

Can’t say I’d blame anyone for destroying them then. No doubt the app collects your data. There’s no reason I should have to pay for the locker once with my taxes, then again with my data. Net positive for the world, imo.

Let me try writing a rule for it.

“Given two lists, the word “respectively” indicates the n-th item in each list corresponds to the n-th item in the other list.”

Perhaps the vandals are sending a message they’d prefer their tax dollars be spent more productively?

I can’t help but feel there’s a ton of missing context here.

IMO, the weirdest thing about English is something every speaker does but probably never thinks about.

Whenever multiple adjectives describe a single noun, there’s a particular order in which they must go. If you have big tractor that’s also green, you would call it a “big green tractor” but you would never call it a “green big tractor”. Not only does it sound wrong, it’s grammatically incorrect.

It only saves your sanity if you have a full AMD build. Otherwise, you better be an IT pro or have the time and inclination to do a lot of learning. Nvidia drivers are notoriously problematic with Linux

Perhaps there could be value in some kind of discussion, but I don’t consider a human interacting with an LLM to be a “discussion” any more than a human interacting with a magic eight ball.

As someone who takes the time to answer questions they know, yes. It takes time and effort for a human to formulate and write a response.

If im going to invest suitable effort into an answer, you better damn well be willing to put suitable effort into the question. Anything else is an attack on my time.

They’re both economic terms. Socialism gives society control over the means of production. Communism gives the government control. The reason people think they’re the same is because, in a democratic political system, the government represents their society.

China is an example of an authoritarian state where the government acts independently of the will of society, has complete control over the means of production, and enforces that control, so it’s considered communist.

Scandinavian countries are examples of democratic states where the people have control over the means of production, the government is simply a mechanism that enforces that control, so they’re considered socialist.

The USA is an example of a capitalist state where businesses control the means of production, the government is simply a mechanism that enforces that control, so they’re considered capitalist.

Yeah, but he only emphasized the “Socialist” part of the name in front of socialists. In front of nationalists, he called it the “Nationalist social” party like we’re all just socializing with each other.

The truth is, Hitler supported the ideology of whoever he was addressing. He didn’t care about implementing any specific system, as long as he had absolute power over it.

He only described himself as a socialist to other socialists. In front of other nationalists, he called himself a nationalist.

His party was called the “Nationalist Socialist” party. When he addressed nationalists, he would capitalize the N and call it the “Nationalist social” party like we’re all just a bunch of nationalists socializing. But, when he spoke to socialists, he would capitalize the S and call it the “national Socialist” party.

Hitler didn’t care about nationalism or socialism. He only cared about saying whatever he thought he needed to say to obtain as much power as possible.

Businesses (capital), labor (society), and the government are the three main components of a functioning state.

“Capitalism”, “socialism”, and “communism” are terms used to describe who is given the most control over the means of production in the economic system of a state.

“Capitalism” describes an economic system that places most of the control in the hands of capital (businesses). “Socialism” describes an economic system that places most of the control with workers (society), and communism describes an economic system that places most of the control with the government.

It should be noted that, even though these terms are VERY often conflated and even used interchangeably with terms that describe political systems, such as “authoritarian” or “democratic”, the fact is that these terms have nothing to do with each other and no combination of terms from either set are mutually exclusive.

To say it more simply, any capitalist, socialist, or communist society can also be democratic or authoritarian. The idea that socialism is the same thing as authoritarianism is propaganda created by capitalists who are scared to death of livong in a society that places the needs of the common working man above the needs of the biggest businesses in the country.

Came here to say this. If it sounds like a disposable camera charging its flash or night vision goggles in a video game, it’s probably some capacitor(s).

No, you’re calling it wrong, then describing the same thing using different words and asserting that your description is right and the other is wrong. Whether you say “metal conducts electricity” or “metal attracts electricity” doesn’t matter when the idea you’re expressing is, “electricity can be expected to go where metal is.”

Either way, I don’t have the time or the inclination or be pedantic with strangers on the internet regarding matters I already understand and ultimately don’t matter.

Good luck to you 👍

You can keep describing it in different, more technical terms if you want, all you’re doing is making yourself more correct, not making me less correct.

Of course you and I know “attract” isn’t the correct technical term, but that’s the term OP used and there’s nothing wrong with adjusting your message to communicate the same idea using words your audience will understand.

A lay person thinking “electricity is attracted to metal” still holds an accurate mental model of what can be expected. OP wanted to know if their mental model was correct, not whether they used the correct terminology to describe it.

Maybe. I’m referring to the metal plate with the numbers on it. If OP is referring to the little sticker in the corner of the plate with the year on it, I’ve never heard of that being stolen, and stealing it wouldn’t even accomplish anything, at least not in the US.

Every sticker I’ve gotten also has the plate number written on it. The sticker is a different color every year too so you can’t cut the year off a random sticker and stick it over your own.

Not to mention, no cop is going to rely on what the sticker says, they’re going to run the plate through their computer and act based on what it says.

When it’s no longer the cheapest option at the nearest store. We’ve been sold on the fact that slop building materials are a stylistic choice.

So, the electrical current is forced to travel around the outside of the body because it’s attracted to metal?

My prediction is: There will be a settlement. Neither party will admit wrongdoing. The settlement money will go to the lawyers. The corporations’ right to manipulate the market will be enshrined.
