This states explicitly that you ate the smoked mackerel on the way home from school, but it's ambiguous as to whether you also bought it on the way ho...

The Barbican Estate is one of my favourite places in London. It's peaceful and pleasant just to walk around it, even without going inside the Barbican...

I'm moving this to the Lounge. I don't see any political philosophy.

Your logic is unassailable.

Fish don't have vocal cords, which is why they never sing.

Yeah I like that one. I'm thinking there's a movie subgenre, or sub-subgenre, that nobody has identified before: secret organization approaches main c...

I assumed you’d slunk away defeated and whimpering, your tail between your legs. Anyway, thanks Leon, I appreciate the magnanimousness of your respons...

I'm sad to report that after a great first half, I got really bored with this and dropped it. It's like a spinoff from Against the Day, in the style o...

Non-modal logic tells us whether things are true, and modal logic tells us whether things are necessarily or possibly true. It's interested in the way...

I think there's a view you're not considering, one which is probably closer to the way @"T Clark" sees things. I mean the view that sees the idea that...

Cool. I don't want to always sound like I'm taking a pro-AI stand in a new culture war, but it is worth pointing out that he is against the bubble mor...

I'm open to all exotic pan-American delights.

I've ensured that the archive won't be indexed by search engines until we close this site, so at least for the next couple of months, nobody should be...

I don't know. I'm out of steam. Over to someone else.

Ah, it's intelligent.

Enlightened.

You're right to assume I wasn't referring to the one in Minnesota, of whose existence I was unaware. Did you know there's a Memphis in Tennessee?

I wouldn't know, Blockbuster was before my time :wink:

Thinking of going to Montevideo. Anyone been?

Well, it's true, he was. But what the author misses is that this isn't a bad thing. I didn't read the whole thing though cos it was unbearable.

In that order? I wonder, is it a German joke, or a joke about Germans? Probably both.

Sure. How dare you! Who can say? No idea. We're here for you.

Interesting. It might even be interesting to see if crip theory and some kind of Aristotelianism might be reconciled, though on the face of it that se...

You'd think they might have more to say after thinking about it for 6 years.

I know! :rofl: I usually delete one-line necroposts, but this time for some reason I didn't.

I'm not. I've used AI a lot for coding in the last couple of years, maybe because I've mostly left behind coding as a career. Using AI in this context...

Yes, Hegel for example is famous for the clarity and transparency of his prose. On the other hand, it turns out that Hegel's prose is quite direct and...

I just did some light googling and inevitably it turns out there's a lot of work been done around this, all of which I'm ignorant of. For example, the...

I see a parallel in depression. A person with depression, it could be argued, is not incapacitated by a biomedical abnormality but by a disconnect bet...

I almost feel like I'm sharing your memory, because I used to have Coke floats at Nardini's cafe when I was a nipper. But I'm sorry to say I don't lik...

:up:

A.I. features can be restricted to certain groups, so I could conceivably make it available only to those who ask for it, by creating a group called ....

NOTE: I'd like everyone to know that I have not decided on which features to use, so we may not have these features turned on at the new TPF. I just r...

@"Paine" @"Hanover" To summarize: AI on Discourse will not participate in discussions but will just do background labour—things like summarizing, filt...

I suggest you don't think of it as a participant. As I say, it won't do philosophy, just grunt-work.

The way I talk informally, bullshit can be bollocks, but on TPF I try to reserve bullshit for non-bollocks, in line with Frankfurt, although bullshit ...

There are several AI features included, and we may use some of them, but they won't replace one's own use of AI for research, and I won't be paying to...

Absolutely, I agree.

I was the opposite: I did like tinto de verano, but with the gaseosa replaced by red wine :grin:

I think that's what they use for root beer. Every time I think of root beer I think of drinking root beer out of big glasses at an A&W burger joint in...

The interesting thing is that this actually reflects a non-binary attitude, rather than representing a typical trans outlook (not that I'm assuming th...

The "caveman grunts" idea is not supported by any evidence. It's just a nineteenth century stereotype. The fact is that we cannot know, looking back i...

I honestly don’t know what you’re referring to, and so your post seems to me unmotivated and out of the blue. In any case, you’re off-topic. To compla...

But first you'd have to show that languages were simpler in the past, and I don't think that's supported by historical linguistics. And @"Hanover" mig...

It's like the poppy seeds all over again. I am not good at describing flavours, so I don't know. Standard and intrinsic to (good) ginger beer, and to ...
