I'm sure Stewart would suggest that you should watch more theater.

Then you'll see how much different choices made by the actor can transform a script.

This has been my concern since the moment it became clear how capable LLMs had become and were likely to become.

I feel like I've been going insane as people have ignored this for short-term gains.

In free countries, being a good citizen also means criticizing your government when you see it making mistakes.

Dissent can be patriotic.

This only makes sense after raising the minimum wage unless you just want to fuck over the poor.

Are you only ever writing text?

I find that digital solutions can never compare to the freehand drawing of diagrams, symbolic manipulation for solving math, etc.

If you use the waist measurement to compute your waist to height ratio and it's above 0.5, then you know you almost certainly have too much, and losing weight is the next action.

This was all explained in the link I shared.

If you've lost 5 inches from your waist as measured from your bellybutton, it's unlikely you've lost zero visceral body fat.

It only fails to classify people with excess body fat who are in the healthy weight range.

It's really good at catching people who are obese who are overweight.
