In practical terms, "monad" means "chainable".

Classier than listing every program individually?

Re: "wrongness" and "accepting yourself", how much do you think it has to do with how society/others regard the identity you present? I.e. how much do you think the path you've taken is an internal development vs a response to society?

In order to describe what I'm thinking: Today, you've found a place/role within society where you're more comfortable than the places/roles you've taken in the past. However, a completely different culture/society would have had different available "options".

Sorry if I'm being way too abstract/hypothetical. Even as a "more conventional normal person", I've long wondered how different I might be had I grown up in a completely different society.

Either 1:0 or 0:1, depending on my mood

This is when the argument can be reduced to absurdity, e.g. banning the Bible for the sexual imagery in it. Ban absolutely anything and everything even remotely objectionable to anyone (there are people with feet fetishes, ban all feet, and thus also all shoes), so there's no Internet at all.

True, but there are projections designed to compromise multiple factors, whereas Mercator Al has a specialized use case, so it's easy to agree that it's a poor layman/general projection

I've read that Brita elite filters do capture some PFAs. However, it is well known that Brita filters and the like aren't as efficient and effective as more dedicated solutions.

That is to say, no, they're not bullshit -- they're better than nothing, but they're just a marginal improvement. From my limited research so far I think it's correct to say that you're paying Brita more for a convenient system than for efficient and high quality filtration.

Is it not an apt analogue to describe the behavior, though? After all, one well known failure mode of LLMs has been formally dubbed "hallucination".

And there are inflection points where it's going it be easier to cut out the middlemen.

What about encrypted DNS?

The content likely doesn't matter, but I read it helps the baby recognize the parent's voices (esp the Dad's, Mom already gets a lot of time), and it can also help them get a head start on recognizing the phenomes of your language.

Isn't it pretty clear that human intelligence isn't only high-dimensional statistical modelling by showing how even small children have "context windows" vastly surpassing even the most advanced and resource intensive models, and their brains only take a few snacks every few hours to power?
