He might say he did it, and just pretend. Probably hire a bot army to spread it further.

My wife is currently a professor. None of that is true for her. She fails people all the time for cheating, non-attendance or whatever. She gives them a few chances not to dig their own grave, and some still do it. Re: Do whatever they w

I hope when we finally catch a glimpse of it, it does not look like an 8 ball.

This is really cool. The corn byproducts are probably targeted because they are already harvested, but I imagine this tech would be applicable to a lot of plant matter. I look at all these bodies of water with massive algae blooms from fer

Ahhhh see that makes more sense.

A valid point. But - at least a couple people I know are choosing not to send their kids to better public schools than they themselves attended.

For sure, Matt Groening and co. had no idea how much of a phenomenon The Simpsons was going to be early on.

You'd be right. Public schools are thought of as second rate. It's kind of amazing - friends of mine consider private school (which cost as much as a college education when I was young) to be a must-have. Imagine paying 20-40k a

Very relevant point. My own counter-example of Hatsune Miku is not totally AI generated - just generated using very sophisticated musical tools (see: Vocaloid). There's some very impressive youtubers who are claiming to be generating

Well if it is the unique things, there is still many unique things in the big cities. If you are discounting the vibe, I guess I understand why you are disappointed. The vibe is a big part of what makes big cities feel so distinctive. If

I'll try. YMMV, but: DC: You can get just about any kind of food - because just about every culture in the world is represented. You can find some of the more home-y type menu options too for the same reason. For example, Greek rest

I grew up near Chicago. Detecting someone who grew up in Toronto is kind of like one or more scenes from Inglourious Basterds. "Soory", "aboot".

Canada is not terribly different. Near the border, the people on either side talk the same. You go north/south the accents vary on a spectrum. Oh yahh, dem yoopers are almost canucks!

Places you go for work are mostly corporate parks in the suburbs. Of course they all feel the same. I had the same experience and that was why - rarely did I get to visit the big cities. I went to places which had Chili's and Target

A friend of mine uses a scraped list of heavy metal band names for QA testing how well systems deal with weird characters. He is, himself, a weird character.

Yep - they just have to elect enough candidates who will let Trump run amok. The majority doesn't need to agree with Trump, just enough people to avoid voting (a much smaller number). That's what we're seeing now. Then they

Why the downvotes about an anecdote about the owner of (actually a couple of) software companies? She gives talks, in those talks she says she makes more money off iOS apps than other platforms. You can probably find a few of those talks

I read through your comment history and pegged you based on what you wrote, you can read through mine and similarly decide for yourself.

Hello, Pro-RFK policy guy! I see you're taking a play from the right-wing playbook: If you can't refute a thing you want to refute, complain about decorum instead.

Default water, lol. What an incredibly, terribly, dumb argument. There is no such thing as "Default Water" - it neither exists in nature, nor in man-made systems. Good luck with that. We can - and should - modify our our syste
