This is such a useless comment. What even is your point?

Do you have a meaningful quantitative explanation with some math we can start building tech on, or will that require some... experiments?

A wave is already what we call a manifestation of a field, maybe I skimmed too quickly but I don't get the author's breakthrough point.

No, if a name gives some hint as to what the product does, it isn't random.

I'd suggest a descriptive name. Baking what makes it unique in the name would be ideal, but even narrowing it down to a category, like your version of my message had, would be an improvement. Knowing what class of thing the noun is would be an improvement over a tree or a or a sound effect or an obscure foreign concept being equally interchangeable as titles.

Further, while your version wven presupposes that the name is useful enough to narrow it down to a category, if the name was specific enough it would avoid the confusion of your example. "Which program of this category? Oh, the one with that unique feature."

I wish we as a society would stop using random words for products. "Slacked about Oak, but they need in Fizzle. The deck's in Slate, the assets are in Vault, the timeline's in Pulse, the copy's in Quill, the build's in Forge, and the launch party's already in Ember."

Are you questioning how LLMs work? It's not a mystery up for debate, it's an open, well known system, you can go learn it for yourself and see.

Consider that the world is complex and there's more than one factor. Conservatives cultures have higher birth rates, as do families with lower educational levels. Both are common in the third world. In developed countries, there's constant conversation about how people are being priced out of feeling safe or able to hit traditional milestones like having children. I myself didnt have kids in a marriage only because we couldn't afford it, and I worked around the clock hoping to soon.

They meant awkward in this context because it seemed contrary the theory of the comment above them.

I'm with you. Everything government that at least still pretended to serve the public interested and greater good has been openly captured by individuals and movements concerned with some more selfish agenda.
