Why surprised? Didn't US taxpayers pay for the collection of all this information? Now only those with "legitimate" interest can get access? I would very much like to know what the reasoning behind this move is. Although I suspect that as per usual, a reason will not be forthcoming. But who knows, perhaps the Epstein files are now being kept there, LOL?

Reading. I find that reading a lot, especially one's own writing, helps :-) Also, I would suggest that every student take a few years of Latin, Greek and at least one foreign language from middle school on. That foreign language should be one that stems from a different root than one's own.

I love that people are finally comfortable adding the word "artificial" into their analysis of the bible. About time. Because make no mistake, LLMs are at best artificial intelligence. More likely, they are very good regurgitating machines, telling us what we have been telling ourselves in an even better form thus goading us along in our fallacies.

Based on my experience providing IT support to family members Windows would be the death of me. At work I get paid to fix stupid shit and I am fortunate enough to mostly only deal with servers. But even there, we would be switching to Linux everywhere if it was up to me.

Slight correct to meteorologist's comment. Instead of “This amount of rain in a 24-hour period is incredibly rare for South Florida,” it should have stated “This amount of rain in a 24-hour period *WAS* incredibly rare for South Florida,”
