Only if you distort them.

Progressing from regular triangles to squares to pentagons to hexagons, pentagons are the only shapes that don’t tile a plane. How do you figure they’re the best for buildings?

Everyone’s citing Christianity, but that’s not completely accurate—monogamy isn’t really promoted by the New Testament outside of the letters of the apostles, who were trying to appeal to a Roman audience.

Plot twist: aliens introduced generative AI so people would dismiss evidence of their existence.

I honestly feel like I wasted my one minute of typing this.

Good news—this one weird trick can make you the fastest typist in the universe!

It’s been towed beyond the environment.

Earth travels at 107,826km/ph

In that reference frame, the speed of the ISS varies between 79,826 and 135,826 km/h.

Goats will only eat grass if there are no other green plants accessible.

Do you imagine them uniting under one of the current governments, or some kind of new or hybrid government?

What’s your hope for future relations between North and South Korea?

I would call that resourcefulness, and make productivity a function of resourcefulness × efficiency.

I’ve known people who were raised by their grandparents and grew up OK, but I assume it was harder on the grandparents.

I realize it won’t be like this forever

You can always keep moving to smaller instances.

Ok… but then what’s the purpose of not having three hands?

If by “western” you mean “everything west of China”, then the Shahnameh.

If you mean “European/Mediterranean”, then Homer.

If you specifically mean “western Europe”, then yeah—probably Shakespeare.

And by an LLM you mean the people who train and tune the LLM to generate the type of responses they like.
