The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie is a fine example of grimdark high fantasy. It isn't overflowing with sex scenes, but carnal relationships are definitely in play.

More of a "only speak in cultural memes" thing. We all speak in phrases mostly.

"I am feeling alarm at the moment of realization that every warrior I am commanding may be killed by the enemy who has prepared for our assault with deadly guile." This complex and specific meaning might be encoded as "Ackbar above Endor when the Death Star struggled."

The whole thing is a bit queationable with the whole "how can they say things without some sort of language independant of their cultural memes to encode those memes within." That part never made sense to me.

A shallow angle from the sun give you that long shadow, but it also gives the light lots of extra air to pass through sideways on it's way down out of space. The extra air filters out more light, and without an intense enough light your skin won't make Vitamin D.

As for purpose, it is just a higher fidelity, deeper hook into measuring you as a consumer.

Nah, fuck em. Even the less sophisticated Wi-Fi approach is skeevy as fuck. I should just trust that the will only do what they say when given more than they need? Absolutely not. They might, but I wouldn't rely on it.

They want to use your gyroscope to synchronize your movement within the store with their mapping of what products are on which shelves.

Historically this has been done by offering free in-store Wi-Fi and then triangulating the movement of cell phones within the store based on their signal strength from the perspective of the various Wi-Fi access point supporting the store's network, but a gyroscope will even tell them if you crouch down or turn around.

Black-body radiation is an interesting argument against 100% efficiency, but couldn't you just extrapolate and argue that the emission will be converted back to heat once it stops reflecting and becomes absorbed?

I'ma second. This is officiallly unofficial permission to begin your dissertation on unforeseen consequences. I'm here for this.

Cats survived before us by hunting small mammals and small birds, and they are very effective at getting fed.

The motivation at the core of naming owners of outdoor cats as irresponsible is a sharp decline in songbird populations in direct proportion to the increase in outdoor cat population.

In all seriousness, this is a fine scenario for AI guided learning. I gave Bing Copilot your question, and the response was very helpful.

Here's the trick though:

// In 'firereact/firestore/index.ts'
export { useDocument } from './useDocument';

and:

// In 'tsconfig.json'
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    // ...
  },
  "exclude": ["**/*.test.ts", "**/*.spec.ts", "path/to/firebase.ts"]
}
