Can too!

I suppose it may also be part of this season’s overarching storyline. Perhaps it’ll be revealed in a later episode.

Clapping does not meet the standard.

I suspect that might be a valid legal opinion, but I have my doubts whether there is enough precedence to make it a legal fact. But IANAL, so I don’t really have an argument, nor does my opinion hold a lot of weight.

I agree that what happened goes against the spirit of the law and free speech. But I do think that the government is allowed to limit speech to an appropriate time and place.

People can still express their opinion by loudly protesting outside, posting online or placing an ad in the paper, etc. They’re just not allowed to express it in a place and a manner that interrupts elected officials when they’re doing their job.

Do you feel free speech should be so strongly protected that people are allowed to prevent the government from functioning? Because that’s why the no noise rule exists. I think that rule was abused in this case, but it does make sense to me.

I think GP is probably right that removing him was correct within the letter of the law and the rules for council meetings. However, I do get the impression that in this case the rules were enforced so strictly to shape public perception of how unpopular the datacenter is, not to prevent interruptions. I hope the council member that asked for his removal isn’t re-elected or loses his position.

I also think that in a context where civilians are addressing the council, there should be an exception to the no noise rule allowing for some applause and whatnot at appropriate times.

I’m a little disappointed whatever was going on wasn’t explained with some kind of technobabble at the end. That doesn’t seem very Star Trekkie to me.

According to the article he was arrested after he was told to leave and refused.

Whoever receives the laptop may be able to figure out the address of the sender. Perhaps OP just doesn’t want their real identity tied to their main account.

Have you tried clicking the little speaker icon after the phonetic notation on Wikipedia?

Actually, the way his name is pronounced in Dutch sounds like you’re about to spit out something that was stuck in the back of your throat.

That’s not a good comment. What it is should be clear from the naming and context. A good comment explains the why when that is not obvious:

// This glass is at 50% capacity because we don't want it to overflow if it rains

There used to be a language attribute, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen lang before.

Does your screen not have a built-in settings menu where you can turn off the stretching?

For example, an advice community could have a “good answer” vote. Each post in an “Am I the Asshole” community could have a “You’re the Asshole”/“You’re NOT the Asshole” vote. That sort of thing.

The comparison to tags got me thinking it might be cool if mods or posters could set custom tags/vote types per community or thread.

I’d say it’s similar to applauding or booing someone who’s addressing a crowd.

I think it might help to have different vote types. Instead of up and downvotes there could be things like agree/disagree, insightful, funny, quality shitpost, high/low effort post or things like that. That way people who want to see quality discussion could sort by insightful, while people looking for low effort shitposts or memes could sort by something else.

Imo the biggest problems with LLMs is that they’re being sold as something that can replace humans. The people peddling the tech are trying to hide the fact that it should never be used without HIL (human in the loop). Not for anything important.

Yeah, my impression is that LLMs are okay at writing code, but not good at software architecture.

It’s an advanced autocomplete, not something that can think, at least not on the level that humans do.

It is also extremely addictive.
