Dear ChatGPT please write a software application satsifying the following requirements. Write the code in the style of Mohamed Aboelez.

....

A slightly less hyped headline would be:

"Mathematical theorem used to crack US government _candidate_ encryption algorithm"

Cultures vary. Also individuals vary. That’s true now, and it was very likely true 50000 years ago.

Maybe not all the rugged individualists survived, but quite likely a few wandering souls travelled far away from their original homes, and got to see different places and experience different things.

Silly question: if the "second coming" is a risk, then could bitcoin itself be amended to deem sufficiently old wallets no longer valid?

Of course if it was seriously proposed, then the holder of said wallets might rush to cash some of them in.

IN MICE

"Your Cache" is like "The Common Cold" - it's not actually one thing.

It reminds me of a recent HN story telling us not to trust any number you see in a news story.

I tried Pocket, but it wouldn't let me edit titles, which was a bit of a deal-killer. So then I tried Raindrop (free plan), and I have been using that ever since.

I use "collections" to describe abstract properties of a bookmark, like "work" for work-related, "reference" for 'I have read it but I might want to refer to it later'. Then I use tags for identifying topic - but a lot of the time there's enough info in the title, and tags don't really add much for the effort involved.

Most of those definitions can be reduced to a single definition:

"the" <something> = the speaker believes that enough information has been given for the listener to know which <something> is being referred to.

Examples:

"the man who hit me" - makes sense as part of a story where only man hit me. "the world" - there is only one world, so we know which one it is.

That article contains 3 astronomical photos, but none of them are pictures of what the article is about. They are not pictures of "invisible walls".

Slightly hyperbolic headline.

"There is no well-defined time zone at the North Pole".

Also: "The sun sets & rises once a year."

If you move 1 metre away from the North Pole, then the first statement is no longer true, but the second still holds.

And "time" doesn't cease to exist just because you are standing on a large spinning ball on the part of the surface of the ball that intersects with the axis of spin.

"Conscious" is a word that has no objective scientific definition.

It follows that "slightly conscious" is not well defined.

In practice "conscious" just means "anything that thinks and makes decisions like I do".

Also, nobody actually understands how their own brain works when they are thinking and deciding, which makes it very difficult for anyone to determine if some particular AI software thinks and decides the same way that their brain does those things.

Truly terrible headline clickbait. Are scientists now doubting the existence of neutrinos? Better: “Physicists cast doubt on ‘Sterile Neutrino’ theory ‘ etc.

Bacterial “gain of function” experiments. What could possibly go wrong?
