Sounds normal to me!

i.e. it may be a step change and that could very well have distinct and noticeable real world effects, like other technologies have in the past, but it’s nothing fundamentally new.

The point now isn’t having better rockets for (ballistic) missiles, since satellites became a thing the game has been infrastructure. Future (hypothetical) missions to the moon and mars might not be for military research purposes directly, but the infrastructure that both needs to be and now can be set up to support those missions will absolutely be co-opted for military purposes.

The race is now to bootstrap your nation’s permanent presence in space, because at the moment there is a first mover opportunity for what is slowly but surely becoming just another frontier for economics, geopolitics, etc. to play out over (granted this is already happening, I suppose I’m talking about a step change in scale).

Needs to? Is there some new law mandating all landing pages must contain exclusively handwritten text that people haven’t heard of?

To your actual point, the people that would take the landing page being written by an LLM negatively tend to be able to evaluate the project on its true merits, while another substantial portion of the demographic for this tool would actually take that (unfortunately, imo) as a positive signal.

Lastly, given the care taken for the docs, it’s pretty likely that any real issues with the language have been caught and changed.

This alone obviously doesn’t put Windows in danger, but if it does go over well then it’ll mark a turning point; A large non-techy institution getting away from Microsoft’s castle and being better off for it would signal to the world that it’s not only doable, but could even be worth it. It’ll take a while, but this could be the start of the end for Windows.

That "significant danger" was a bit of dramatization on my part. I don't expect anything to significantly change in the short term. I was more referring to long-term tidal-like change, which would be very hard to stop once momentum builds up.

I don’t agree that the word “pickle” has been reduced like you claim. Used as a noun, it is only applied to pickled cucumbers. But it’s used as a verb is still very common and the average person understands that many things can be pickled.

Although if you were to ask them to guess at the etymology, you probably would get a lot of disappointing answers.

I think the big difference is sauerkraut is pickled in brine, resulting in fermentation. Whereas all the pickles I grew up with in the UK were pickled in vinegar, which doesn't produce fermentation. Pickled onions, eggs and beetroot come to mind

Seems like that only has the task improvement loop, no self-improvement improvement loop like this project.

How much of this have you actually experienced yourself, as opposed to inferring it from things you’ve read online?

Do you believe that they get an unadulterated perspective of both experiences? That they would be getting the experience of a woman rather than that of a trans woman?

Apparently some make a distinction regarding whether they pass or not to address this. James Barnes is one person whose written about this

That’s a great article but it confuses me how the author shows affinity for so many feminine traits and stereotypically feminine interests, that I wonder what the draw or perceived appeal of living as a man was.

Maybe that’s in a different article.

> I feel safer; I no longer walk around at night clinging to pepper spray

some people report not being talked over in office settings

honestly you could benefit from talking to someone professionally if this is still confusing to you by now. Its not uncommon for this to be confusing, you could just accelerate your understanding by having someone deconstruct why it is still confusing for you

Well, I imagine gender dysphoria is more than thinking the grass is greener

Thank you for sharing that, that was a valuable read.

It's an interesting philosophical question. Even if a male who makes some effort to disguise himself as female claims that he now experiences life as women may, in a general sense, do so, I don't see how he could possibly know if this is true or not. Being male and not female, he doesn't have this experiential frame of reference to make the comparison.

Depends how well they pass and if the other person knew them pre-transition.

those considered passing, yes

and that of a man as a trans man. there is a lot less fanfare, media, and discernment on this compared to trans women, while being more common than people think

If you haven’t tried this out yet, you can also download terminal apps that let you ssh from your phone, and that’ll be easy to get going with Tailscale already set up.

25k annually (before taxes) is $12/hour with a 40 hour work week, how many software developers in the first world are working for that? There are probably some, but I’d be surprised if there were “many”.
