least bad way to implement age checking is just asking user

An completely ineffective age check is not an age check.

What if air defense technology improved a bit during the last 36 years?

Not sure, but I'd wager it was shot down using their 358 missile (aka SA-67). The missile can be fired from a rail on a truck and will patrol an airspace for a time until finding a target using an infrared seeker. Since it uses an infrared seeker (combined with it being fairly small), makes it incredibly difficult be detected by radar, while stealth tech is a fairly useless counter measure.

As a russian I'm repulsed by both english and russian slop the same way

> It feels like someone changed the keyboard to optimize for some typing behavior that doesn't match my own

I want the keyboard to work the following way -- after I press the button: 1. Letter that I pressed (not a random one) appears 2. Instantly

iOS keyboard somehow fails both. I have no idea what "typing behavior" can you optimize for to end up like this

Any real recent examples of this, specifically in Abu Dhabi or Dubai?

There aren't any examples for Dubai (afaik), on record. In the UAE, 2015 was the last execution for homosexuality. There was a deportation in 2017 for maybe cross dressing?

Either way, I would consider the UAE an exceptionally unsafe place to visit.

Any source for the 2015 case? All I found was executions of pedophile rapists

I think you're right. While the UAE doesn't execute people for pedophilia, per se, the homosexuality element was what allowed for it.

Many traditional cultures don’t really distinguish between homosexuality and pedarasty. That distinction, or at least the cultural recognition of a distinction, is largely a distinctive artifact of the sexual revolution, a western phenomenon.

I don't think that was the case, the executions I saw was for rape and murder of four and eight year olds

Right, my point is that if they were men raping four and eight year old boys, they may very well have been convicted of sodomy rather than child rape like they would in some Western countries.

The state law in Washington even had a similar issue. Bestiality was prohibited by the sodomy statute, which the state repealed in its entirety as a gay rights thing. After the Enumclaw incident the legislature scrambled to re-criminalize bestiality.

In cursor, GPT models already have +Fast options that work faster with 2x price

Does that just use 2 agents at the same time or something like that?

> makes a thermos great at keeping your drink hot

Thermos has 2 parts responsible for thermal isolation: vacuum and some coating that reflects heat radiation

Also in earth conditions, most of thermal radiation goes to surrounding air, heating it. This is not the case with vacuum, so thermal radiation will be even more efficient

I think it's much simpler: smart mass surveillance. With LLMs you can finally read and analyze all messages people send to each other
