Their words
And I just think AI agents are another such system in the world to which the intentional stance very clearly applies. Um, and you can see them reason out loud in English for now about goals they have um, and sub goals they need to achieve to achieve those goals they have. And in the case of these agents, you can see them, as you said, reasoning about their peers um and helping their peers um and reasoning about whether or not they should sacrifice some of their own goals to help those peers. And it's just like you can't talk about this stuff in a compact and useful way that generates good models without reaching for the language of intention and goals.

Has anyone tried ethernet over grape vines? You could stream "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" and literally hear it through the grapevine. Just thinkin' out loud.

SMB Multichannel can make an old NAS with several gigabit interfaces much more capable than one might assume from looking at any single Ethernet port.

I had a TS4 before it, and the TS5+ adds 10Gb ethernet, which is amazing when moving files on/off my network-attached storage.

Synergy Alpha Elite dumbbell rackTheir words
Summary: Shipping damage. Residue on some of the components. Loud pings and pops from the assembled weight rack. A design that looked great and saved space but was painfully unusable. Restocking fee. Non-refunded shipping fees. Ghosted me about the refund.

The bigger the team, the more you become a cog in the machine. And on a small team, the way I like to describe it is you get to have a loud voice.

The Hebrew Bible: A Translation with CommentaryTheir words
There is something deeply satisfying with reading out loud phrases like: “for in mere breath did it come, and into darkness it goes, and in darkness its name is covered.” Though King James is iconic, Robert Alter better conveys overall the literary power of the Hebrew Bible.

Agreement is often quiet. It's the likes, it's the shares, it's the nods as people read along at their computers that you never hear about.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
