Who lunches for several days/weeks? logically you would charge high speed through a plug with energy generated by panels that are much more efficiëntly (money+yield) placed and not have to carry around.


I mean you are not wrong, but some things just grow this way historically. It is not an easy decision to rebrand strong brands (like iPhone) to a more generic but better naming scheme.


And (1) it looks dope.


It doesn't. All of the modern wooden/eco houses with wooden facades I've seen in Sweden look really shabby and rundown after as little as one year. Because for some reason modern construction prefers to just expose wood to the elements.

In contrast all the traditional houses look pretty because no one thinks that painting your house is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord.


Yeah, i can see that being a problem. The renderings always look sharp, and weathering can give a much different and more uneven/random look. This ofcourse is al subjective.


In the computer renderings only? Wood exposed to atmospheric conditions quickly looks badly. All it takes is 3-4 cycles of sunny summers and freezing winters, with mild humid periods in between.


I dont think either of these explanations is the moral of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" :)


What's the moral then?


I think the moral is about the boy, not the villagers and what they believe - it's that reputation is an important thing, because once you damage yours, you won't be able to use it even when you really need it.


I too am on that page


If I can jump in here: it's something like "be very careful when making extreme claims, because they probably won't be believed. If your claims turn out to be false, then they really won't be believed next time."

So it's about trust and reputation. If the village elder, whom everyone trusts, cried "wolf!" the villagers would be inclined to believe him.


That means the same as what he said.


No. nicwolff said the moral was about villagers and their skepticism. AlbertCory correctly said the moral is how lying damages the boy's reputation.

The moral to the listener is to not be like the boy. The moral is not, to be unlike the villagers.


No, because the lesson is that the boy shouldn't have lied. It's not "the village should have believed him again".


no it doesn't. See the other replies.


Don't have a small child be responsible for protecting your sheep from wolves? Esepcially if you have already determined not to come if he shouts for help.


Don't lie so people can trust you.


If you keep lying or making false alarms, people won't believe you when you're actually in trouble. So, it's better to tell the truth and be trustworthy, or you'll end up losing the trust of others when you really need it.

TL;DR: Don't lie, or trust will be lost.


That you should never tell the same lie twice.


Self cleansing notes. That is a great idea.


Unplayable. Took 4 tries for the correct spelling of Duck Hunt.


How? There is only a single suggestion for Duck Hunt (unless you include Ultimate Duck Hunt)


Maybe search for "how do search engines work"


This is a 5 year old video about how search works. They are already talking about using machine learning for ranking wich is kinda like AI depending on your definition.

If you want a more in-depth walkthrough, this is a good resource: https://ciir.cs.umass.edu/irbook/


I have a good knowledge of how search engines work (having built search myself several times in the past), but the recent use of ChatGPT and other variations of the same theme brought me to the conclusion that there might not be any pure search engines left that are not using 'AI' (or more precisely LLM). People in this community are also worried about these issues, e.g.: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35601128 so I'm definitely not the only one.


But what if the search engine has GMOs in it? And maybe it's powered by nucular!


Zippyshare should add limits and advertise for nordvpn to circumvent these limits.


Can vouch for Miele dishwasher. The rollers on the racks are not comparable to any other brand. Sooo smooth.
