Vegetables aren't even a thing botanically, they're basically "plant stuff that isn't fruit", except when it is.

Botanically speaking, vegetables can be roots (carrots, beets), stems (celery, asparagus), leaves (spinach, lettuce), flowers (broccoli, cauliflower) seeds (peas, beans), and of course fruits that we treat as savory (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants).

And then on the opposite side you have things we call fruits that botanically speaking aren't. Rhubarb is a stem, strawberries are aggregate accessory fruits where the fleshy part we eat is actually swollen stem tissue, and those little "seeds" on the outside are the real fruits of the plant. Figs are not simple fruits, they're inverted flower clusters where the "fruit" is actually a hollow stem containing many tiny real fruits inside.

Even apples and pears aren't true fruits botanically, they're accessory fruits where much of what we eat comes from the flower's receptacle rather than just the ovary.

So yeah the botanical vs. culinary divide works both ways. Our everyday food categories are really more about taste, texture, and how we use foods rather than plant biology.

You can already get AI strokers that apparently were trained on and sync to videos.

It's mostly just that. The whole thing was a mess. The atheists were told they would be debating a Christian and prepared as such, but he won't define himself as a Christian. So much time is wasted dancing around that. They had to change the title from Christian debates to Jordan Peterson debates. On top of that he will barely engage properly, saying things like he won't entertain a hypothetical because he wouldn't allow himself to get in that situation in the first place. Just generally not acting in good faith.

You're right, the literally 1000s of people going through there daily all tell the same lie. I get you need to follow the protocols of your airport regardless of what another one does. But it would be pretty bloody obvious other ones actually are doing things differently.

But... Don't they deal with people from all over the country and world constantly? Ignorance can't be an excuse at that point.

But by who? Musk has said he's trying to fix the way it responds. If he was just paying people to be Grok it would take some huge balls to dissent like that. He would immediately know who it was.

It's one piece. You tell me I want to spot cars one thing they have is wheels, I'm not going to immediately assume every bike I see is a car. But taken with other signs it builds a pattern.

Honestly I've found the best way to spot LLM is just use it an absolute crap ton. You'll start to be able to spot it the way you can recognise the style of an author or director.

It's all rubbish except for actually reading bad reviews as far as I'm concerned. Read the 2-3 star reviews (1 is usually stupid reasons) and see which place is the least complained about.

Don't and never have done regular sport and I'm pretty bad for it. I think it's just restlessness or helping blood flow.

Sure but it falls apart when an asshole gives them a dollar change instead of a 20 and they fold it as a 20. Any system relies on having trust that the system was done correctly as you can't verify.

 

Tried many apps since joining a few months ago, by far love this one the most. Has pretty much everything I could ask for and a really nice design.

One feature I feel like I'm missing that I had on the reddit app I used to use is a button on comments that let's you jump to the parent/ context of that comment.

I know you can follow the coloured lines/collapse the comments in between as a work around, but I really liked this feature for very long and convoluted comment chains to easily see what a comment is replying to.

Thanks for all your hard work on this app, it really shows.
