So economic harship wa lower in 1800? The year that had the highest fertility in the time period from 1800 to 2023?
(I posted the link in my previous comments )
You gotta love it when prople pick and choose one cut in the death by thousand cuts that our population reproduction suffered during so called progress.
Given that the data I posted dates back to 1800
https://www.statista.com/stati...
Shows that fertility rate a century ago was at least twice higher than now.
I am not sure how this could be im accord with reported birth ls per woman count unit in a year parameter.
Obviously, BOTH audio recording and transcription will be available to both parties in case of disputation.
The role of transcription is auxiliary, it's not going to be a decisive piece of evidence, only to funnel cases that are more likely to stick.
That's it. Author if this piece is making a big deal out of nothing.

There is only artificial intuition. It will replace our intuition, not intellect

the exercise underscores the astounding capabilities of modern hardware and an achievement in computational and storage technology
That would have flied 25 years ago, but in the last several years we have the progress of things like AlphaFold, generative AI, LLMs and other advances in machine learning that demonstrated how this progress resulted in practical revolution.
The effort in computing Pi digits seems anachronistic and simply misplaced, impressing only a handful of aged fanboys still nostalgically reminiscing about the age of punch cards.
Let's talk about consequences. Talking about ideology does not make sense. The people writing to Slashdot are now about as old as people writing to Livejournal. At that age nobody convinces anybody at ideology. That would be a truly miracle.
So let's talk about consequences. People talk only about VPN as a solution. The other solution is to use competing websites offering the same product. I am not familiar with this product (if you do not believe me, then please presume that I choose not to discuss details - the discussion should not depend on ad hominem), but I presume that although the quality and selection could be different, the ultimate result of the product will be the same. People have been masturbating since times of Adam, and they won't stop doing that - they will just use different visual aids of stimulation.
The consequence of the law itself will be a reduction of people watching pornography. This is how ANY restriction works. There is no Streisand effect in these things. Pornography in Texas won't be eliminated, but the consumption will decrease. And like with any negative human impact problem, like alcohol or marijuana, this will lead to healthier choices for noticeable portion of population.
The short period of restricting access to alcohol during Gorbachev time is clearly visible on the statistics of male expected life longevity in USSR as a noticeable bump.
The same will happen to pornography in Texas. More young people will turn to having real relationship with people instead of their hands. That will lead to healthy long term relationships where more people will have the opportunity of having stable healthy sexual lives, potentially with more children.
It's a good law. Good job, Texas.
This war against chatgpt makes even less sense than considering AI as a Skynet precursor
It limits evasive maneuvres where one has to accelerate fast to avoid collision.
The problem is that the proposed bill is too simplistic.
he predicted that China will overtake the U.S. economy.
But will that mean that yuan will become world currency?
