Such a shame YTPs went out of fashion - this would be a great YTP.

To an extent, things like "baby want milk?" also help with language acquisition. We could say "would my baby like to have a drink of milk?", and that would give exposure to a lot more vocabulary early on, but it also uses much more complex grammar and abstract concepts like "would", whereas the former phrase uses only a subject, an object, and a verb which corresponds to a thing that the baby can easily conceptualize because they "feel" it (the feeling of wanting something). It's similar to learning a language later in life - you usually start with things like "I am a boy" or "This cat likes fish", rather than "My good sir could you please enunciate better so that I might understand your foreign tongue", because it helps our brains take on the basic "shapes" and "sounds" of the language, which make learning the more complex and abstract parts easier later. As for why people do it with pets, who aren't learning a language? Idk, I guess small cute thing kicks the baby instinct into gear whether it's human or not 😂

I mean, it's been shown that it's relatively easy for a big company to control the price of Bitcoin, and there's nothing more capitalist than wanting to get away from the control of countries and states that might get in the way of making as much profit as possible so,,,, yeah no I'd say hypercapitalist is a valid accusation. Bitcoin was designed to beat the big banks and capitalist status-quo, but I don't think that we can pretend it succeeded anymore.

This is blatantly false. Classification tasks like this all have a level of certainty for each possible category - it's just up to the person writing the software to interpret those levels of certainty in a way that's useful to the user. Whether this is saying "I don't know" when the certainties are too spread out, or providing a list of options like other people in this thread have said their apps do. The problem is that "100% certainty" comes off well with the general public, so there's a financial incentive to make the system seem more certain than it is by using a layer (from memory it's called Softmax?) that will return only the category with the highest degree of certainty.

The more properties you own, the more tax you pay on the price of the next one - excluding if you only own one, but escalating quickly after like 3 or 4.

I swear every time I see an "iPhone is doing X" headline my only response is "wait, that wasn't already a thing?"

It's a reference to the old meme "all your base are belong to us"

Paul, John, George, and Ringo were 4 friends, and they were all Beatles, so I think they might have skewed this data a little?
