Typos are funny: "typing arcade commands in a terminal window." I believe that you meant "arcane commands". But, many users treat everything like a video game ...

I feel like playing. Taarof fails your points. It is not optimizing at all: 3x complex/ambiguous exchange (only 18% of native Persian speakers get it). Transportation and communication are no longer slow: the example is a taxi ride. Law enforcement? But, officer the driver insisted "Be my guest this time." IF social customs depend strongly on trust THEN why strain that trust by starting with a lie?
Sorry, Taarof is moronic.

Maybe it is just me, but . . .
If a wind turbine use 3 blades then why build a monster plane that can only transport 2 or 1 at a time?
Also, the plane must land somewhere. If the wind generator is at a high point (mountain?) then trucking could be very difficult.

Maybe. Compare time, distance, and cost?
Also, depending . . . maybe fly-in the mast?
Could be that the high point location for the turbine is a very difficult drive?

This is similar to what I thought from the above Skycrane etc.
How about swap-able turbine blades:
1. attach the wind-blades as the helicopter blades
2. carry the regular helicopter blades
3. land at site
4. remove the wind-blades
4a. install wind-blades
5. attach helicopter blades
6. back to base or go next base?

I'm tired of you troll. You are not an attorney and not smart. Go hire an attorney to explain it to you.

I did read your post. I read the summary (and the article). The French started an investigation because he died in France while creating a live stream in France. That is normal and leads to questions. Was there a significant number of viewers in France? Did Kick have significant/sufficient knowledge of Pormanove's content? Did Kick have significant/sufficient knowledge of streaming into France? Electronic or physical is not a big distinction -- the question is sufficient "minimum contacts"; see International Shoe (1945) and Australia in Dow Jones and Co. Inc. v. Gutnic (2002) etc.

Did you even read the summary? ". . . found dead in a residence near the city of Nice . . ." "Nice" is a city in France.

Precisely: drug dealer 101.

Not necessarily. The granularity matters and the clock/log accuracy matters.

08:08:42.999 Engine 1 fuel switch flips to CUTOFF

08:08:43.000 Engine 2 fuel switch flips to CUTOFF

. . . is essentially "simultaneously" . . .

And if the accuracy was +-1/1000sec OR +-100/sec (not uncommon for a log)?

Name 'em

Interesting take, but I must disagree. LLMs are not expert systems. Expert systems have existed for a while now. They are made by "translating" (human) experts' real-world experience into decision trees. IIRC examples include railroad routing and (nuclear) power plant operational safety control.

Many people, including me, having been saying this over and over again. Calling this stuff AI is just not correct. The outputs based on LLM are just unqualified/unverified correlations. Correlation does not equal causation!

Hmm . . . You might be right. I went back to the announcement:

Can I use my Skype credit? Skype Credits can be used for calling. Starting April 3, 2025, automatic top up services will no longer be available. After May 2025, the Skype Dial Pad will be available to remaining paid users from the Skype web portal and within Teams Free, where you will continue to be able to use your subscription or Skype Credits.

That is confusing. Teams Free is free. So what credits? Anyone know more?

Sorry, but "contacts" != "contracts".

From the summary: "People can transfer Skype contacts and chat history to the company's Microsoft Teams . . . ." Do you think that is a typo?

Also, the MS announcement:

"Sign in to Microsoft Teams Free on any supported device using your Skype credentials and your contacts and chats will automatically be transferred." https://support.microsoft.com/...

"By logging in to Teams with a Skype account, chats and contacts will automatically appear in the app so you can quickly pick up where you left off."https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2025/02/28/the-next-chapter-moving-from-skype-to-microsoft-teams/
