I'm all for rules of engagement, but when the enemy seems to be gunning for genocide, I'm pretty sure everything's on the table.

This reads like an ad written by an LLM, wtf is it doing here?

Cats make for pretty poor insect control. They mostly kill spiders, not "pest" insects.

Yeah, I'd like to see a source for this. There have been many proposed theories for why cats vocalize to humans, especially because "meowing" is not common between cats except for kittens. How do we know that it isn't a request for food or attention?

San Francisco had an emperor.

(He even "decreed" the construction of a bridge or tunnel between San Francisco and Oakland on the other side of the bay, predicting the existence of the Bay Bridge and Transbay Tube!)

As long as I don't have to maintain it.

(Who tf downvoted this? The "legacy code" lobby?)

Yep, this is the major flaw that's becoming clear about the Turing test, and why people are so hyped over LLMs: computers don't have to be good at imitating people, because people are so good at anthropomorphizing computers (along with everything else).

Hey, in my defense, the explanation there was only added in 2022, and I'd already given up looking by then!

Thank you! You would not believe how long I've been trying to figure out where the term came from.

The best explanation I'd heard prior to now was that the practice of composing functions was akin to mixing ingredients for curry, (the food) but I'd never really bought that line of reasoning.
