Lovecraftian is an adjective for a narrative style, so it’s tied to the author itself.

Orwellian describes the actions of political regimes in just two of his books. When applied to cautionary narratives allegorising or extrapolating existing authoritanism it fulfils the same role as Lovecraftian. When it applies to real world governments using 1984 as an instruction manual, it’s much broader.

They are not ignored, you can use them to put multiple statements in one line

Market leader wants to freeze the market.

While I’m strongly opposed to the “move fast break things” mindset, this is not an altruistic or even benevolent move by Anthropic.

I’m a backend engineer that only does minor frontend tasks once in a blue moon, and on the top of my head I know two ways to center a div horizontally (well 3 with the obvious <center>) and one to center it vertically. When I hear frontend developers saying it’s hard, I always start questioning their competence at a basic level.

It depends if the shareholder is really investing in a company they believe can reliably generate profit or playing a game of poker with people’s lives as tokens.

In an healthy company with a long term outlook, increased productivity is used to increase revenue, not to cash in by reducing short term expenses.

While I’m pretty sure I would find some methods they used distasteful, in terms of outcome I find what the Chinese did with Puyi very poetic.

You would need to be extremely racist to think the good guys won the Opium War or the wars of European conquest in the Americas or Africa, and even centuries of propaganda spin don’t change that. And there are cases like the Siege of Constantinople in the Fourth Crusade that was rightfully vilified even at the time.

No, in this system 3 + 3 = 33 or 66 or 12 or 11, etc. Basically any digit is equivalent 1 in normal base 1.

EDIT: I blame lack of coffee for misreading Serinus@lemmy.world comment

In this case it depends on having base 1 with all digits being equivalent (i.e. 123 = 456 = 000).

Amid the French fry furore, Rimm has since clarified that he was merely suggesting restaurants offer smaller plates of fries.

Smaller, not literally 6 small fries.

Targeting number of fries instead of weight would also be unscientific, 6 needle thickness and 6 quarter edges fries are not equivalent.

It was an hyperbole that flew over the journalists’ heads: https://www.sciencealert.com/you-should-only-be-eating-six-fries-per-serving-advises-harvard-nutritionist

The US Vice-president is not in the chain of command.

Which brand led bulbs are you buying, so I can avoid them? I have bulbs that I use daily when I’m at home, and a few are getting close to 15 years old at this point.

It’s also a lie. LLMs can’t replace a single worker, and most CEOs know that, they are using it as an excuse to cover up the consequences of mismanagement and/or increase short term profits at the expense of future growth.

Parking on the street inside a busy city is a luxury. Why should it be cheaper than parking on a parking lot let alone free?

Twitter is also a Nazi bar full of people that take anything slightly less harmful for humanity as a personal attack.

Yes, both in places that are overcrowed, and places with a healthy tourism industry without overcrowding. If kept at a number that doesn’t disrupt the lives of people trying to do productive work, tourists can even have a positive effect on local life.
