It's not sentient.

It cannot ever be sentient.

Software only ever does what it's told to do.

Is LaTeX difficult to learn? An article stated something about how its syntax is inscrutable, from what memory will allow before the caffeine hits.

Is there any way to still read all the political and world news while keeping your self from over-entertaining or internalizing it?

It might still be of introductory help to someone who has yet to formally learn what a language model is, what large language models are, and where things might be in the future.

  BTW, there's no way to navigate your blog now ? That's good design ?

What do you mean? The user can just use the browser's location field and go up a directory to /blog, where they should see links to published posts for April.

They testified in front of the U.S. Senate in 1998. That's more than a footnote might do, in my opinion.

Hardware kill switches for camera and microphones, as well as for wireless.

I wonder if one for an internal NIC would be overkill.

It is clear to me that we are in a holding pattern for web components to become the norm and for component frameworks to become decoupled from application frameworks, so I have no idea what I will be using in 5 years.

So, we'll arrive to something similar to where we are with JavaScript and jQuery, where the latter is less relevant now that JavaScript is appreciably better? Meaning, that with web components the norm, we might arrive to less need for frameworks like React or Vue?

(I might be misunderstanding due to the sleep deprivation, so apologies if what I write comes across as gibberish.)

Make a base set of rules that facilitates your goal(s) as a group. Enforce them early, enforce them often enough.

Look into how successful bulletin board systems have done things in the past. If I find anything that might be of use to you, I'll update this post or to it create a comment.

Have you ever designed or developed (or both) for slower connections? "Slower" meaning something like 56k, 1G, or 2G? Do you happen to know of any people or groups that practice in such a way?

I consider website design and development to _still_ be a craft that centers the end user, which suffers degradation of quality because of -- for lack of knowledge of a better name or phrase -- The Market.

Loading them being unnecessary would be so when? Do you have time to elaborate?

I'd like to read what you have to say about doing so.

Would you say that Rust is an appropriate language for learning Machine Learning and Data Science? Does it make the learning of it simple, difficult, other?

I'm new to the three, and Rust is a language that I'm working on now as it (to me) seems that it will be around for a long time, like Perl.
