This doesn't work with the current architecture, because we have to introduce some element of stochastic noise into the generation or else they're not "creatively" generative.

Your brain doesn't have this problem because the noise is already present. You, as an actual thinking being, are able to override the noise and say "no, this is false." An LLM doesn't have that capability.

We left. Three years ago, for Spain. We're not planning on returning, barring some sort of international catastrophe.

It doesn't matter how many people are playing off the same deck, you're only playing against the dealer, and they're following protocol. When its your turn, its you vs. the state of the game.

You can add rules on top of a game all you want (e.g. we're all gonna start...) but that doesn't change the actual game that's being played.

There are no "human tells" in Blackjack. Its you against the deck. Maybe you're confusing it with poker?

Have you investigated that GI issue in depth? You could have Celiac, Crohn's, or a number of other issues. Covering up the symptoms with cannabis sounds like a surefire way to risk some sort of GI cancer down the road.

My family has a long history of GI issues that went unidentified and untreated for several years. They're extremely damaging over time. If you're constantly uncomfortable you should really diagnose the root cause ASAP.

This is absurd. Does Walgreens "cause death" every time someone ODs on Tylenol? Or your local Ford dealer when someone gets in a car accident? Smoking killed 6.6X the number of people drugs did in 2017—do you think we should start arresting everyone who owns a 7/11?

There are cultural differences here, specifically those that involve what the concept of "liberty" means in practice. Americans tend to focus on freedom "to", which is exactly what you're talking about here: employees should be free to choose whether or not they take maternity/paternity. Europeans tend to focus on freedom "from", i.e. employees should be from from worrying about whether the decision to take maternity/paternity will hold them back or not.

You can frame it the way you have if you want to, but to some cultures, having the government tell people what they can and can't do is the only way to ensure true liberty for all.

Here in Spain there are lots of fantastic wines around 5€, although I assume you're surgically taking about the states.

Perrin's CdR is ~$10 I believe—we used to drink that almost every day when we lived in NY. Also Jelu from Argentina is a fantastic Pinot Noir for ~$10 as well I believe.

Be careful with your price ranges there, the most expensive wines in the world are Pinot Noirs!

Wines like MaT are designed to be people pleasers. They're full of easily accessible flavors.

4 out of 5 Americans would prefer Katy Perry to The Flaming Lips, that doesn't mean she's better (or worse), it just means she's more crowd friendly.

This is not true: if a wine turns into any sort of "vinegar" then a bacteria was present that should not have been. This is considered a "fault", and won't happen normally, even after 100 years in the bottle.

He runs to the store. I suggest that he run to the store.

Even verb morphology is a bit more complex than you've called out here.

You also can't just ignore the Constitutional rights of the 3M Catalans who didn't vote yes and move forward unilaterally with a declaration of Independence. The Constitution holds the entire government accountable—there is no "dialog" to be had outside of changing it.

The Catalan Parliament didn't even have the votes to change their own Statutes of Autonomy!

You say you're from Barna but you call it Barça so I don't really know what to believe here.
