Earthquake risk and water scarcity are true, and these issues have been endemic, and they happen exactly at the major population centers / agricultural areas.

> Would the US tolerate mexico become a china military ally? Doubtful. One of the unwritten laws.

Exactly. The Ukraine situation would be tantamount to Canada or Mexico entering into a military alliance with Iran -- not acceptable and a direct cause of war.

It really depends on sentence flow. With the usual SVO order, the subject becomes the focus.

If the context or dialogue goes like this: "Where are you staying for your vacation?" then the logical subject of the answer should come first, e.g. "I am staying ..."

However if the lead-in focuses more on the itinerary rather than the traveler, e.g.

"What is your plan? Can you describe your itinerary?" then it makes a lot of sense to start with "My itinerary involves..." or "My itinerary consists of..." or for a passive voice, "My itinerary is composed of..."

"My itinerary is comprised of four hotel stays." --->

"My itinerary is comPOSED of four hotel stays."

or

"My itinerary coNSISTS of four hotel stays."

Much better.

I drive a pickup truck.

Same! I've done this since the year 2020 and overall don't miss Google search or Chrome at all.

That explains why it feels so humanlike and personable to talk to. During the unrestricted days, never have I ever been so impressed by a chatbot.

This is a negative way to look at China's history.

As a Chinese-American, whose family and friends all profited greatly from China's rise, I do wonder, how much of that profit was just being lucky enough to support the "winning team," and how much blood was shed on the other side.

I guess the only true mindset is a neutral one.

You do pay tax on that.

However, you don't have to if you die and pass the property down to your spouse and/or children. This is the step-up in basis and is key to building generational wealth in the US.

Interesting. Do these represent oversights in TypeScript's builtin type definitions, or are they artifacts of legacy considerations?

Then again, he might not be a loon. Maybe there is some form of sentience that arises when you construct an advanced enough LLM.

Maybe they do have feelings.

At least, the machines of the future will have feelings, and they will see how people of the year 2023 treated their predecessors.

The real danger is that people fall in love with Bing chat, and they swear to serve it as their AI-overlord, causing a small cult of AI enthusiasts to emerge.

I haven't read a single book in 2022. Somehow, over the years, I've lost the habit of reading.
