Probably because a lot or them (especially _iel) use ~~literal~~ letteral translations, nobody in their right mind would use in everyday conversations. Like in this post with "michmichs".
More veggies and less fruit; too much sugar.
It's not called Meta data by accident 🤣
In theory you can because the second law is actually a statistical and probabilistic thing. Currently it looks like that the laws of physics are time direction independent. So if you play a physics simulation forwards and backwards you couldn't tell the difference for a small number of particles so it it actually can (and does on very small time scales) happen that entropy decreases.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Given the fact that a fair price for a real town sign is about 175€ somebody will probably just rob the vending machine, either to get the money or a sign. Maybe a card only vending machine would work but changing the name to "Fugging" was probably simpler.
And we'll never hear of that one again.
The problem is that using those tools no matter how energy efficient will add to the total amount of energy humans use, because even if an AI generates an image faster than a human could, the human still needs 100W constantly.
This doesn't mean, that we shouldn't make it more efficient but let's be honest, more energy efficient AI just means that we would use even more AI everywhere.
But other countries don't "produce" off-site as the US does. https://youtu.be/C7BCZCWlvEc
It depends what you mean by "our best". We try to reduce the risk without sacrificing too much. Wearing a seatbelt is trivial, because there are basically no downsides. We could also half all the speed limits - that would reduce the risk a ton. But we don't do that because people like to drive fast because they (up too a risk balance) value their time more than their life (sounds rough but that's basically what it is).
It's the same with pandemics. Of course a lockdown prevents a lot of deaths, but at what cost? Is it worth it. We wouldn't half all the speed limits to reduce risk?
I'm not against lockdowns in general, for example during the first covid wave because it bought us valuable time to figure out how we proceed, but a lockdown is (figuratively and literally) high cost.
Hey Sam Harris is that you?

That's not true in general. I personally use the German Extended (E1) layout (when I'm not on mobile) and the em dash is super easy to type. There are also lots of other custom layouts used by people who care about typesetting.
Even people that don't internationally care about typesetting sometimes use them because their tool (like Word and some CMS systems) automatically replace hyphens in specific places with em dashes, or substitute straight double quotes with the correct quotation marks (depending on which country you are from)
