That just makes your last post incoherent.

Again, wrong, as has already been explained elsewhere.

Non-citizens can vote in some local elections within the US.

It doesn't take any work at all to understand that US citizens are a minority of English speakers.

I bet you didn't even vote for Nigel Farage's opponent.

A lot more people said it than voted for either Trump or Harris.

Wrong.

There's a term for output that is indifferent to truth - "Bullshit"[1]

Why are you spreading misinformation like this?

We'll know we're really screwed when we get three in a row.

Or maybe that we've finally adopted a sensible calendar where the days of the week stay the same for dates and holidays each year.

That's hardly surprising, given the constant stream of racism and immigrant policy from Labour.

That said, there are plenty of manufacturing jobs on the edges of suburban villages, etc. in the UK. The housing tends to build up where jobs are.

Yeah, a couple of hours is too much (although I have to commute 1:30 each way here in MA, to get between a house I can afford and a government scientist job - same time by car or public transit).

That's why public transit and a distribution of manufacturing, etc. Is an important part of this.

25.02.2026 14:01 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Part of that is affordability - e.g. people who work in the shops can afford to live within 15 minutes

25.02.2026 13:55 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I don't think anyone thinks that everyone will work within 15 minutes. I'm the same way that you don't have to shop within 15 minutes. The idea is that is _possible_ to do so.

25.02.2026 13:53 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The point is that no one needs to travel more than 15 minutes to fulfill basic errands etc. Traveling to work isn't necessarily part of that.

25.02.2026 12:17 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

You travel to get to them, via the public transit hub that's within 15 minutes of your home, or by driving there. Same as you do now, but with better transit options, and less traffic.

15 minute cities aren't about no one being allowed to travel more than 15 minutes.

You should advertise a random vegetable expo each month, straight up with no comedy.

I've not yet found an LLM summary that is more useful than an old fashioned search engine result or a skim read - which you have to do anyway to detect hallucinations.

24.02.2026 12:49 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I just haven't found any appropriate uses yet.

24.02.2026 12:45 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That's fine, and not the problem we are talking about.

What's important is that the paper and chain of reasoning in it is discussed before citing it. And then that citation is discussed before the next paper is discussed.

And that's something LLMs can't do.

(at least, that's my theory)

Mostly because they are just made and sold as preshaped sausage meat, same as the patties, both of which are next to them in the display case at the supermarket.

Most published science papers with a reasonable number of citations have also been discussed to death, with actual human thought and reasoning about whether they are true.

Journal clubs exist, after all.

No, it's not true of Wikipedia (or scientific papers and other academic work).

Many Wikipedia talk pages are full of discussion of the relevance and accuracy of the cited sources.

That's not uniformly true across Wikipedia, but it is for most common topics.

(although corn dogs usually use frankfurters, which do have a skin)

24.02.2026 12:03 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That said, US breakfast sausages don't usually have skins, even when in the long cylinder shape rather than a patty. So those aren't burritos.

24.02.2026 12:02 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

(I guess it's also a burrito, since I don't think the sausage has a skin)

A packet of Jimmy Dean pancakes and sausage on a stick - a sausage encased in pancake batter and then fried. 

Basically a corn dog.

What then is a Jimmy Dean pancake and sausage or a corn dog?

As I pointed out, the economics of even cheaper and more powerful large datacenters don't close either at the present time. They are funded on speculation, not expected returns.

Where are you getting your figures for the total lifetime build, launch and operating cost of a V2 Starlink satellite?

He has given no indication of any special knowledge in this area. It's not ad hom to point that out.

That he dismisses simple ideal thermodynamics as the best possible case by citing factors that only make things worse demonstrates that he does not understand the objections here.
