Sounds like an LLM that could have been a PDF.

Eh, there are the horrors, but there's joy too. Being invisible to almost everyone means I never get catcalled even when I'm out on a topless hike, and the few who can see me for who I am all seem to love my mixed-gender aesthetic.

I mean, like, the only unisex bathroom at work is a 5-minute hike down three floors from my desk but there's a gendered restroom less than 30 seconds away. I can exploit the fact that everybody assumes my gender incorrectly to use the more convenient facilities and nobody but me cares.

Enby here, and yeah the analogy is almost spot-on. It's only missing a weird emphasis on everyone else's assumption that one of the curses would apply to them, and their grappling with the choice to either exploit or correct those assumptions in various circumstances.

Far be it from me to yuck anyone's yum, but did you have to pick almost the worst possible analogy to describe it? XD

Precisely. It's those boundary areas where the jet and the medium interact where it gets complicated.

Sort of. The speed of light in a vacuum is the speed of causality, nothing can go faster than the maximum speed at which one part of the universe can effect another.

It is possible for fluids to move faster than the speed of sound in the fluid around it, such as the exhaust products of a supersonic jet engine, but in these cases not all of the fluid is operating like a wave. The core of the jet experiences a laminar flow where all of the fluid is moving in the same direction and at roughly the same speed, like a laser instead of a flashlight. At the boundaries of this laminar flow exists a turbulent region where the fluid interacts with the surrounding medium and is slowed to subsonic speeds.

Guess what a court ruled against back in January?

The tarrifs and the defunding of federal programs are starting to actually hurt other rich assholes' property valuations. He's no longer their weird gaudy buddy from the old days, he's a threat

That's actually worse, lol~

It's not a scientific breakthrough. I've been using distributed hash tables since the early oughts, assigning monetary value to it wasn't innovation.

Bitcoin was never going to be what it was claimed to be because it isn't designed for anonymity. The blockchain doesn't forget, every transaction goes into a permanent ledger and can't be reversed or cancelled. That makes it a liability.
