The very old buildings the article talks about have long continuity but aren’t actually that old.

Article doesn’t seem to mention that Japanese temples are rebuilt periodically every 20-60 years.

Most construction businesses don’t have this recurring revenue model, tied to religious rebuilding.

There is a non-0% chance. You are looking at scenarios where evolution has selected for competition rather than nurturing.

So as a counter example:

A mom is a super intelligence compared to a baby. And yet does the babies bidding doing her sense best to make sense of the baby low fidelity crying.

Intelligence in AI is even more alien, it doesn’t need to have any survival instinct of its own at all

Given that they had 75% inflation in the previous year, pegging salary to cost of living or providing that cost directly is not such a terrible idea.

The correct approach ofc would be to manage money supply responsibly but Argentina has failed to do that over and over.

“Amnesia does not affect involuntary processes like breathing. I later get my memory back”

Their current Prime Minister is from the Communist Party.

It used to be a Hindu monarchy but one of the princes did a murder suicide with the whole royal family around 2002 or so.

I am willing to take the other side of this bet.

Not because I love twitter but rather because of the following

1.Network effects are just that powerful.

2. This looks like a group chat killer rather than a Twitter killer.

So I think the blue bird will go on to live a rather long life.

Tried to install it but it was asking for too much irrelevant data so I decided not to.

Maybe I am not the avenge user I don’t need an IOS app for text, web is fine.

Not a lawyer but as a consumer I find the name “Open AI” for a proprietary/ for profit company very misleading.

Are there any legal protections available to me in this regard?

Partners and managers review and sign off, but the people designing and doing the actual audit procedures are mostly in their 20s.

For people that didn't make the connection, the inscription says "Zarmanochegas, of Barygaza" which is the greek name for Baruch. (an ancient port city in Western India)

One thing in favour of biking in Amsterdam and The Netherlands in general is the terrain is very flat as much of it is reclaimed land.

Maybe social structure of some sort is responsible ? I am not sure just looking at the patterns I see in developed countries.

Seems a bit extreme to have the government pay people to have kids on the level of a full time job when you consider that through most of human history people worked to support their kids / families and at much lower income levels.

Looking at Northern Europe seems their TFR is similar to the USA despite incentives.
