TFA originally meant "The Fucking Article" but on HN seems to have morphed its meaning to "The Fine Article" or "The Featured Article". I can't stop reading it as the former every time I come across it.

I've read it as "genocide" too and I scrolled down to see if there were any comments like yours. I wasn't disappointed.

This is also not Reddit where you call for mods to remove things you find uncomfortable. I'd rather this guy be talked out of his delusions rather than letting him become more aggravated alone. Failing that, other people who were about to consider embarking on the same delusions would be hopefully discouraged by the rational replies.

Beyond that, is there a viable competitor available for an US allied nation to purchase?

Not available yet, but Korean KF-21 and Turkish Kaan/TF-X (which Spain is thinking about buying/co-producing IIRC), though they're both considered 4.5th gen fighter jets rather than 5th like the F-35.

How do you deal with emails bouncing or going to spam? I have been looking to move away from Gmail but last I read it was the only reliable option out there.

They have the advantage to be able to rectify their errors and have a big leg up if they ever decide to specialize.

I wouldn't mind and I would actually prefer if things were translated correctly, adapting to local slang, cultural references and the likes. As of now translations are weird if not outright cringey. This is a problem with LLMs in general (probably because they're trained mostly on English data), although to a lesser degree, but enough that I have to correct them daily.

I wonder if we even need to consume content by reading, as opposed to watching or listening, to be neurologically healthy and developed, considering it's something we didn't start doing until a few thousand years ago. Isn't reading kind of a specialization of watching?

Undoubtedly, but a significant positive aspect is the democratization of this technology that enables access for people who could not afford it, not productively, that is.

I think the issue with AI (in contrast to human interaction) is its lack of real-time responsiveness. This slower back-and-forth can lead to frustration, especially if it takes a dozen or more messages to get the point across. Humans are also helped in helping you by contextual cues like gestures, facial expressions or "shared qualia".

I've come to believe that consistently engaging with ideas and concepts through a variety of media "naturally" embeds them in memory and understanding. I feel coming across information from different angles and in changing contexts provides a form of implicit repetition that for me makes explicit systems (like SRS) unnecessary. What seems crucial to me is having sufficient variability but also making sure it is introduced within an appropriate timeframe.
