> OS page cache can generate writes

Is this a hallucination? What am I missing? Why would heavy reads generate writes?

People make and lose real money in Las Vegas every day too, but millions of people don't have their retirement dependent on casino winnings.

My IKEA furniture has lasted 12 years so far, including 3 moves, with only minor cosmetic damage.

If that was the case they wouldn't need to forbid "parking" since it would not be possible to "park" without "driving" first.

It's explicitly legal for cabs to drop off passengers cycle lanes in London https://haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/walking-and-cycling-changes-o...

You've quoted the rules which forbid parking and driving in the bike lane and then went on to confidently make up the part about stopping and dropping people off.

How do you immediately jump from "fun" to nefarious behavior? Are you implying that it's impossible for anyone to have fun in a non-nefarious way?

No it doesn't?

Where does it answer this question in the article?

With -π to π radians you get absolute error of approximately 4e-16 radians. With -180 to 180 degrees you get absolute error of approximately 2e-14 degrees.

Even though the first number is smaller than the 2nd one, they actually represent the same angle once you consider that they are different units. So there's no precision advantage (absolute or relative) to converting degrees to radians.

Note that I'm not saying anything about fixed vs floating point, only responding to an earlier comment that radians give more precision in floating point representation.

Wait this doesn't make sense. Yes you'd get smaller absolute error in radians, but it doesn't really help because it's different units. Relative error is the same in degrees and radians, that's the whole point of exponential representation. All you're doing is adding a fixed offset to the exponent, but it doesn't give you any more precision when converting to radians

Ra is great, and so is Fine Structure but they are both significantly longer than Antimemetics. Most people wouldn't read a massive novel publishing on some guy's personal website.

> It shouldn't matter as long as it addresses your ask

But it doesn't? I'm more than capable of using Google and chatgpt myself. If I was looking for a machine generated answer to my question I would have already found it myself and never made the post in the first place. If I went to the effort of posting the question, it means that either the slop answer is not sufficient for some reason or that I want to hear from actual humans that have subjective experiences that an LLM cannot.

Posting an AI response verbatim basically says "I think you're too stupid to click a couple of buttons, so let me show you how it's done". I think it's very reasonable to get upset at the implication.

> I do find it interesting that people don't mind AI content, as long it's "their AI." The moment someone thinks it's someone else's AI output, the reaction is visceral.

Isn't it obvious? If I'd wanted to see AI response to my question, I'd ask it myself (maybe I already did). If I'm asking humans, I want to see human responses. I eat fast-food sometimes, but if I was served a Big Mac at a sit down restaurant I'd be properly upset.
